I may be reading this wrong but in the last round of draws , Round 4b I think . Galway were drawn against Donegal and Tyrone got Sligo. Tyrone got Sligo because they had already met Donegal . What would have happened had Armagh progressed( and yes I know we didnt deserve to etc etc) Armagh couldn't have played Donegal either as they had meet in an earlier round. With The 4A rounds already set in stone . What would have happened then.

I was heading home on Wed evening about 6 pm and travelled through three counties  Derry Tyrone and into Armagh. It was a beautiful late summer early Autumn evening. I drove about 50/ 60 miles . I noticed some beautiful scenery particularly along the loughshore but also Along the way I passed numerous GAA pitches . At all the pitches I passed matches were being played and in some places two or three matches were going on in different pitches. I stopped for some petrol in a town along the way and the vast majority of young boys and girls out and about the shop and town were wearing GAA jerseys and quite a few differing counties I might add. Not once on the journey did I see any soccer jerseys or on passing some of the soccer  pitches they were empty.( I am not anti-soccer btw) The amount of young boys and girls playing GAA on that evening across mid-Ulster was huge . Any stranger or visitor to these parts would be left in no doubt as to what was the biggest show in town.  I could have just hit a good evening but if my travels were anything to go by GAA is alive and thriving in this part of the world. Would it be the same in your part of the country.  All those doom and gloom  merchants predicting the death of  Gaelic games  might wanna try that journey.

Thanks folks. it's the game we are genuinely passionate about.

Just noticed that in all the provincial deciders so far this year   the crowd have bee allowed on to the pitch after the game  Even some of the first round games and semi-finals(Down fans after match in Newry and Ferm. Fans in Omagh). Will it be the same in Clones  The last final played there in 2003 did not allow it and certainly not in 2002. dDd Tyrone fans go on to the pitch after the Ulster final last year?
