I didn't think I could like Enda Smith any more after the 9th of July but he just keeps on delivering. This guy.

In all likelihood we've a Connacht final to prepare for given Leitrim haven't beaten us in Carrick for nearly 100 years. Let's not fûck this up and make this Super 8 shite.

Kevin McKernan looking not unlike Peter Sutcliffe.

Syfīn  it was Mick Rock picked out the teams.
Another soft draw so let it roll and give the League and oul rattle too.
A few belters in Ulster :D
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

Away to Tyrone is a tough aul start. But I've often said I'd prefer to meet Tyrone in the first round than the final, and sure we won the last time we met at that stage!

I was having a lovely meal in the Stone House in Ballinlough when the draw was being made so I was relying on young Hugo on the Roscommon Twitter.

I ordered a baked Alaska after I heard the draw to celebrate.

It irks me the way the "Super 8's" term has been adopted wholescale by the media, players etc.

Looking at the Super 8's could the Ulster final turn into two teams trying to lose to avoid playing Dublin?

The draw gets less and less meaningful with each passing year.

This format is years past it's sell by date.

Doubt that, since Dublin will have to be faced at some stage within the 'Super 8s' -- might be something to be said for facing them sooner rather than later, given that they'll (Ulster & Leinster) be kept apart in the semis (in 2018).
