Reserved for Season ticket holders, the 4 County Boards?
Then returns are given to ticketmaster?

I'd say that the number of season ticket holders for Galway or Derry is modest enough.

You really went out on a limb with that

Speaking to RTÉ Sport after the game, Joyce had some sympathy for Armagh by the manner in which they exited the 2022 championship.
"It's a horrible way to lose it and that's not the fault of the Armagh players, it's the fault of the GAA and the condensed season," he said.
"My heart goes out to Armagh. Kieran McGeeney and the boys have put in a savage effort; they have been the form team and their supporters brought fantastic colour down here today. The roar when Rian O'Neill levelled the game in normal time was deafening

Armagh and Derry brought a lot to this year's championship. Hopefully the progress can be maintained next year.

No one should be paying any attention to the league results.

Derry are rightly favourites for this game.
League results were an excellent predictor for Tyrone this year.
Derry were in pole position in D2 with 2 rounds left.

League results were not an excellent predictor for Dublin this year

The standard in Leinster is atrocious. It means the stats have too much noise.

50 pages. It's a long time since Galway footballers got such attention.

I predicted a 10 point win against Clare, most people were bigging up Clare.

I don't know about Galway, I think Derry could win but I wouldn't bet on it.
I was in Cusack Lower in 2001 as a 9 year old, that was a difficult defeat to watch but this team is better than 2001. If they get to the final they are the joint 2nd best Derry team.

The 98-01 Derry team was very good

2 of TSG mentioned Derry's continuing improvement as if Donegal and Clare were top notch teams. I think it will be close.
