Probably all go to the wire like the U20.

Not sure how you improve the Championships in the other Provinces...I presume you mean Leinster and Munster? As we Westies aren't doing too bad and hopefully Sligo on the rise.
Munster has 5 Hurley Counties so Kerry will usually saunter through but get a challenge from occasionally good Cork teams.
Only issue is which will come first Kerry's 100th or Cork's 50th.
Leinster is 3 training spins for Dublin as they chase their 19th in 20 years.....

Virtually all team sports have group and knock out stages so good to see the GAA following suit.

Ahh it's just the "Nordies against change" bellyaching again.

The move from 21 aside to 17 aside was the start of the slippery slope I tell ya.

Just quoting the full sentence from the TO.

/quote]
The sentence continues after Ireland with "by promoting and preserving Irish games and pastimes"

Not by politicking

Does that mean they can't do anything in an Ireland with 2 different jurisdictions operating?

What does it say about the GAA?

By the way some other 32 Counry organisations-
Orange Order
Presbyterian Church
Church of Ireland
Catholic Church
Cómhaltas Ceóltóiri Éireann
Cricket Union
IRFU
Hockey Association
Boxing Association
Sinn Féin
Aontú

Have you read the Good Friday Agreement?

Our aim should be the promotion, playing and development of gaelic games.

Well done our lads, a big win tonight and thanks to Sligo we're straight to the Final.

Sligo will be gunning for revenge v Galway in the Semi and we might well see a repeat of the 21 Minor Final. A different result this time please.

It went from a propelling game to a possession game.
The rules didn't evolve to deal with this and refs letting "possessors" do what they like when they have the ball doesn't help either.

However I doubt teams are going to revert to kicking the ball as far as you can and hope your team mate up the field can win it.

Do we need to put more *restrictions on possession or bring in a tackle on the man who has to release the ball when tackled?

* limit the amount of playing it to yourself like the 2 handling rule in hurling?
Restrict handpassing?

When you see other humans described as "freaks".....

Paul Flynn says  the likes of Meath and  Kildare  more or less need to get the finger  out if they want to be competitive 

Aye and a few  million quid!

But  nobody  seemed to address that bit on TSG

Are we back to the "lazy volunteers" argument again....?

Any reason for Armagh playing in black jerseys?

21,000 at this game. Leinster Championship is alive and kicking.

Many in Portlaoise yesterday and today?

The one game that might have filled Portlaoise played in Croke Park.

The other Counties should surely have home and away arrangements so that 1 set of supporters wouldn't have to travel.
