Arguably 7 of the top 8 teams this year are on the same side of the draw. Portglenone being the other one.

Aghagallon, Tir Na Nog and Gort Na Mona all in a 3 team group in the senior championship. Only noticed today after seeing it laid out in tables in todays Irish News. The bottom 3 teams in the league, whereas Creggan or St Johns will go out tomorrow. Something badly wrong with that draw.

Ah.....luck of the draw ...is a random outcome of a draw

Luck of the draw yes, handy for the 3 teams In the group yes. Good for the standard of the championship NO!

As tonight's draw between St Galls and LD demonstrates there is very little between a lot of clubs. As I said before there are no superclubs around anymore, a club from bottom six is capable of going toe to toe with any of the so called top six. On any given day that is.

Focus on one game at a time and see where it takes you. Look beyond that and you're asking for trouble!

Covid is done so I believe the best thing to do is go back to straight knock out.  Hard to beat straight knock out championship football.  I think the league basis / round robin thing dilutes it and creates matches that dont have that championship feel.

A motion to change present structure of championship to Convention is required if such is to happen..

Straight  knock out could still have a lop sided   outcome , although top 4 in league could be drawn in either side , as is current.
Tbf to GNM , they wanted to play in IFC , this year and were turned down !

The best team wins the championship, no matter the structure.
