having only two teams that can realistically win a province is still not good enough imo if the munster switch beetween cork and kerry each year it still be boring.

Has anyone picked up gaa go this year? Is it worth 79 euro for a handful of Munster and Leinster hurling championship games and the dross on the football side of things?

Get the dodgy box, great job

Not sure how you improve the Championships in the other Provinces...I presume you mean Leinster and Munster? As we Westies aren't doing too bad and hopefully Sligo on the rise.
Munster has 5 Hurley Counties so Kerry will usually saunter through but get a challenge from occasionally good Cork teams.
Only issue is which will come first Kerry's 100th or Cork's 50th.
Leinster is 3 training spins for Dublin as they chase their 19th in 20 years.....

Virtually all team sports have group and knock out stages so good to see the GAA following suit.

Other Leinster counties are a disgrace so no point giving out about Dublin until their houses are in order. Cork if they get the finger out can challenge Kerry.

Drumaness wasting their time in Div 3!

Should they relegate the three teams below them too then?

[winning the league nigh on impossible]

It is a shame that he came up against 115 charges FC in his tenure which made winning the league nigh on impossible and who knows, if they do throw the book at city in years to come, what he achieved may be more appreciated.

In season 2021/22 it wasn't that as a win against Tottenham at home instead of a draw with three games to play would have won the league title for Liverpool.

Does anyone play ?

I still have a wildcard to play , the  triple captain and  bench boost.

Could I use two or all of these   in the same gameweek?

It doesn't say anywhere in the rules about something.  like this

You can only use one per gameweek.
There is a double gameweek upcoming , so maybe use your TC there.
Another double gameweek in week 37. So if you wildcard for gameweek 36 , and bench boost in 37 , you could have 30 players for 37.

Good info. Thanks.

Pride is at stake here!

Twice under Klopp.

Pipped by a point both times on the final day.

If City were to lose their appeal and leagues were stripped with second place taking the spoils Utd would have two as well?

Seems mental

Clare will have Tony Kelly on the bench for the Limerick game. Without Kelly starting and a question mark as to whether he plays at all, Limerick will be favourites. The league means nothing.

Shane O'Donnell is also on the bench for Clare.

Clare bench very strong - too strong.

Maybe  lot of changes before the parade!

I saw Waterford's team also.  Be surprised if that's the starting 15. Leavey on bench and he was one of Waterford's best players in the league.

Davy asking for the Déise support to come out in numbers. Be a bad job if Cork outnumber them in the newly revamped Walsh Park.  Maybe he's building the 'everybody is against us' mentality.

It'll be a war in Ennis. I fancy Clare because, for once, I'm not sure what Limerick will turn up.  David Fitzerald will be a marked man after his league exploits and they'll need scores from Rogers and Calvin etc. from play.

I wouldn't worry about the numbers on Limerick's jerseys on Sunday. They'll be all over the place. O'Neill will chip in with a few, so too will Hayes. They're so inter-changeable and they do it so fluidly. Will Clare reveal a few more chinks in the armour?

A win for either Waterford or Cork will be a big boost for them. A Waterford win will shake things up a bit. A defeat and you're on the back foot in Munster straightaway.

Just a pity that there's a load of games on at the same time.

Harps pretty much stole it tonight in Clonduff.

The yellows had us at an arm's length throughout but never pushed for the kill. They tired in the last quarter - as you'd expect for their first game of the season - and then a mad bastard combination of stuff contributed to a late wining goal.
