Sam Maguire permutations

i think group winners should also get home advantage for the quarter finals will give even more reasons to want to win group.

Agree, but GAA want to put these in neutral venues (double header in a full croker etc - they think it's 2008 again).

So as expected it's all about the money.

Apart from 2001 and the 2018/19 round Robins haven't the Qtr Finals always been in Croke Park?

[Blowitupref]

20 minutes played in Markievicz Park Sligo 0-4 Kildare 0-3

Competitive 1st half by Sligo.  Half time Sligo 0-6 Kildare 0-7


Good start to the 2nd half for Sligo.   Sligo 0-9 Kildare 0-7


FT Sligo 0-14 Kildare 0-14.   Good effort by the home side who played the last 8 minutes or so of the contest with 14 men. Kildare down to 13 with black and red in added time.

Good result for Sligo, with the work they are doing at underage level they are more than capable of holding their own in Div 2 in the years ahead result like today against Div 2 opposition will only breath further confidence for them.  As for Kildare lack of consistency from them seen against Dublin and today.

What does that mean for Sligo and Kildare now if both lose their next 2 games? Is it score difference?

Yeah scoring difference.

[Rossfan]

There will be some packed defences v Ros and the Jackeens so!

It means some team will probably qualify for the preliminary 1/4 finals having won none of their round-robin games and having lost 3 games in the championship.

Sligo will have something to play for even if they are losing. Keeping the score down will be like a losing bonus point in Rugby.
The may revert to the 2011 Jim McGuinness Donegal tactic v Dublin.

Kerry have drifted out to 5/2 on oddschecker.

[inroundthesquare]

When will fixture details be released for the 3rd / 4th June games?
If GAA GO and RTE getting two games each you'd imagine the four that would be picked are
Cork v Kerry
Kildare v Dublin
Donegal v Derry
Tyrone v Armagh

[thebackbar1]

When the last round of matches arrive will teams who have won one match and lost one match be considering what type of approach to take for their final match ? ie do you rest players and have them fresh for the preliminary quarter final ?

It's ridiculous that the round 2 fixture details aren't confirmed already.  An option for some games to be played on bank Holiday Monday June 5th taken into consideration by HQ?
