It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.
you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........

Last time we played them in Q's, Conor Lane gave us as sore a riding as I've ever seen from a referee.
PS sorry to intrude on an Armagh thread lol
This version of Derry has played Galway a few times, lost 2 and won 1, league / championship. So history, bogey team etc wouldn't come into my thinking. Home advantage and their inside forward line does. If I was a gambling man I'd say there will only be a kick of a ball in it with Galway winning a fairly open game of football. Could be a cracker. Hope I'm wrong
I'm not sure what your point is, or if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.
No version of Derry has ever beaten Galway in championship, you can be sure that will be a factor on saturday.
Injuries look like being the main factor atm if true

Not sure it was brushed under the carpet as I think the outcomes were shared with the referees during a meeting at the start of the year.
One of Paul Faloons requests to have all championship referee's mic'd up and recorded is to be introduced this year I believe.
Surely with such a robust investigation being carried out by croke park on behalf of down into how the county board handled the process then all clubs would be privy to the findings of that report? I dont think such a report even exists or any investigation was carried out.
officials are micd up anyway in championship but there isnt enough to go around on big match weekends , and as for recording everything im not sure how that happens without all new gear purchased.
the very fact no one knows exactly whats gone on 7 months later is a disgrace.
i agree completely wobbler, it has to be on coaches and club to enforce
The report findings were shared with our county board rep.
There are two different issues here; the report reflects a sad chapter in our county's history where there were no winners. The recommendations should be implemented and we move on.
Each club has a responsibility to develop referees and , more importantly, develop respect for referees. We can learn from the LGFA; at a game on Saturday one of our players got injured and the ref handled the situation very well, both teams gave and got respect.
