Q
Apologies for any grief I may cause,
but, lets assume that
Dublin, Monaghan, Galway and Kerry win provinces.
Roscommon as Connaught runners up qualify,
Donegal as Ulster runners up qualify,
Mayo (manage to stay alive and beat Leinster runners up)
and for argument sake Tyrone Beat Cork,

What will group A and B look like.

The Groups are as follows:

1. Munster Winner, Connacht Winner, Ulster runner up (or team that beats them in Round4qualifer), & Leinster runner (or team that beats them in Round4qualifer)

2. Ulster Winner, Leinster Winner, Munster runner up (or team that beats them in Round4qualifer), & Connacht runner up (or team that beats them in Round4qualifer).

Based on your assumptions, the groups would be:
1. Kerry, Galway, Donegal, Mayo
2. Monaghan, Dublin, Tyrone & Roscommon

The fixtures would then be as follows:
14/15 Jul
Kerry V Galway - Croke park
Donegal V Mayo - Croke park
21/22 Jul
Donegal V Galway - Donegal home venue
Mayo V Kerry - Mayo home venue
4/5th Aug
Kerry V Donegal - Kerry home venue
Galway V Mayo - Galway home venue

and in the other group:
14/15 Jul
Monaghan V Dublin - Croke park
Tyrone V Roscommon - Croke park
21/22 Jul
Tyrone V Dublin - Tyrone home venue
Roscommon V Monaghan - Roscommon home venue
4/5th Aug
Monaghan V Tyrone - Monaghan home venue
Dublin V Roscommon - Dublin home venue

Yeah omagh_gael, stop being so bloody positive.

We're told that the league is a great competition as it pits teams of similar standing against each other. However, when a poster says that multiple games involving eight of the top nine ranked teams would be great, it gets dismissed. The incessant, endless, negative moaning side of the GAA in a nutshell.

Only the football crowd.
The hurley crew are always blowing trumpets -seems Cork v Limerick was the greatest game ever in the Munster Championship.
The new format is wonderful, packed Provincial Stadia, home and away fixtures, atmosphere, excitement thrills spills etc.

Meanwhile on planet Football -all shite, terrible stuff, new formats shite, moan groan doom gloom.

Football needs rule changes more than it needs a change in format.

The spectacle is nearly dead. If it's not one of these blanket defence hand ball games, it's one team dishing out a hammering to the other team.

Can Tyrone and Monaghan meet again?

Yes, would suit the weaker teams. As they in theory would need 2 less starting stars. Then again the open spaces might suit the stronger sides!

So Monaghan and Clare have had almighty falls today. Both losses will be damaging.
