How many go out of the group stages?

Bottom team in Leinster relegated, top 2 in each province in final, third plays a prelim QF V Joe McDonagh finalists

What a game

Cork are winning

49 mins: Cork 2-20 Limerick 1-16

Probably not for much longer, some absolutely brainless stuff for the Limerick goals

KK absolutely dreadful since the red card but what on earth was that free for?!

Looked like the KK player threw the ball away, not sure you can turn a sideline into a free for that ?

If ( I haven't seen this game btw) you interfere at a sideline ball decision against the other team it's a free, has been a free for a good few years now

It looked like the KK player over ran the ball over the sideline, and then tossed the ball away - hard to tell

Getting walloped by 20 points by a team they should have beaten in the league.

To say consistency is a problem is an understatement.

Two different teams today and the league is the league as they say. Once we go out of Corrigan anything is possible, and not in a good way.

Back to earth with a bang

Dublin 3-32 Antrim 1-18

You are thinking of Ben O'Connor

There's a club in my area and the ticket selling has been going on and on without any clear date when the draw is to take place. Keeps being put back and back.
This should not be allowed to happen !

I assume because they haven't sold enough to break even and then to make a decent profit

Some finish by Tipp there

Really poor from Owens there giving that free against Tipp for lying on the ball, you could clearly see the ball out of the ruck

[the best podcast we've created]

OK I really like the gaa social podcast, but can someone please have a word in Tommy Niblock's ear and tell him to tone it down on the self praise for the podcast ffs lol

Prompted by his most recent tweet today, here's more his tweets introducing entirely different episodes in just the past year or so:

• "Some will say this is the best podcast we've created. Considering the powerful people we've had, I appreciate that's big speak."
• "This podcast has everything. Beyond powerful"
• "This is the story of Frank McGuigan. It is among the most powerful podcasts we've ever recorded."
• "Tristan our videographer, turned to me after recording and said "I don't think there's many we've done as powerful". I think he's right."
• "It's probably our most powerful podcast yet."
• "In perhaps the most powerful episode of the GAA Social, former Armagh manager Brian Canavan talks about the 1998 killings of Damien Trainor & Phillip Allen in his Bar. "
• "Probably the most powerful episode of the GAA Social we've ever recorded. Armagh Gaelic footballer Aoife Lennon & her remarkable story.
• "This is the most powerful podcast yet. Richie Power has won 12 inter-county All-Ireland's with ⁦@KilkennyCLG - a hurling icon."

And while you're at it, tell him to stop asking every guest if they listen to this podcast and to stop telling us each week how phenominal the rsponse has been to the previus week's episode.

All that aside, it's still, unquestionably, the no 1 GAA podcast by some distance!

Yeah 100%, I really like the podcast but I find Niblock incredibly smarmy.

I don't think you can read anything into league results at this time of year

Is there only a 1 week break after three games in Leinster?

Think everyone has a two week break, everyone bar Galway & Wexford have it now, they play this weekend and then have two week break. Slightly different to Munster as there are an even number of teams in Leinster

If DG gets a positive outcome for the season he will be gone.

As to where he goes or who would take him that's an entirely different conversation.

Yep if he gets anything decent in the south he will be away, otherwise he may hang about as €70k a year or whatever it is would be hard enough to walk away from.
