Looked pretty full to me during ET in Armagh Galway. 71k didn't look right. That 12k empty seats

There are 69k seats in total including 3/5/10 year etc.
Dineen and Nally about 13k standing. Nally wasn't used and Hill probably could have held a few more?

I think it's currently only Antrim and Meath vacant.
Ros, Mayowestros,  Donegal, Monaghan, Offaly to join them???
Rumours here AC has no intention of stepping down and no whispers of player unrest.

If we bring back replays next year from PQFs on it will take about 9 weekends to play the knockout stages because
"You can't have amateur players playing 3 weekends in a row"
If we push AI Finals back to say 2nd and 3rd weekends in August you'll be back to rushed Club Championships in Counties getting to closing stages. Remember "fix the fixtures"?
Listening to Cavanagh on the SG ranting about  a replay next weekend... did he hear about the Hurling Semi Finals or did he want the game in Thurles, Limerick or Cork?

It would have been hard to match the 1st game today and this one certainly didn't.
Kerry were there for the taking in the 3rd Quarter but the standard rhubarb poor shooting meant they got through it and had a comfortable win in the end.

Some 3 hours of drama and the fight thrown in.
Great entertainment.
Spillane and others decrying penalties obviously want Club games banished to October so they can have replays.
Hard way to lose but with 5 minutes to go Armagh would have gladly taken penalties.
Galway might need to change their goalie though.

Welcome to Croke Park..........it's all about the Dubs and your money!

If you think otherwise you'll soon learn after a few trips.

+1.
If it wasn't the Dublin Cork match would have been in Thurles or Limerick.

Safe journeys to all travelling from the 7 Counties today and especially from Derry and Armagh.
Hope the Jackeens can make it in time for throw in (not kick off)

Population of 26 Cos now 5.1m.
Will be 11 or more extra seats in next Dáil.
So 86 TDs' votes needed to elect Taoiseach.

Usual foul language and abuse, par for the extreme right wing course.
