does that game make a mockery of the ulster championship

i am in the north and rte live games and sunday game have been working the last few weeks other programs are blocked out

horan said the provincials have to be kept and its unbalanced but thats they way it is he said

Thats there problem there insistence to to keep provincials linked to all ireland



i came up with another hypothetical idea today Open Draw all ireland knockout 32 - 34 teams if you count new york london and if kilkenny enter

Except the 4 provincial winners are seeded they cant meet untill semi Final that makes winning your province a slight advantage and still gives a bit more prestige to winning province

i still prefer the open draw no seeds knockout tho

they trying to copy the champions league the first few years of european cup as champions league had went from straigh knockout to two groups of 4 in the last 8


i think a 16 team tier one with two group stages could work  4 groups of 4 then the 8 qualifiers  go into two groups of 4

Just heard on otb that after next year they want to be play the club finals in an calendar year


My propasal would be to play them on st stephens day st stephens has that saturday feel about it anyway and its a big sports day


id have all the 6 finals on that day if possible in croke park junior intermediate senor   in hurling and football

I also think play the club finals on st stephens day i think it be good in st stepehns day st stephens day has that saturday feel about it anyway

play provincials in january or febuary get rid of mckenna cup etc  provincial boards can make their own format for provincial championships

if it was me i would make ulster 3 groups of 3 group winner and best 2nd place team are in semi finals 


You could play the ulster final under lights on a saturday night in january or febuary i think it would be great

Just have an open draw 32 teams its the fairest way of course youll get matchcups like dublin v carlow but that would even out with matchups like antrim v limerick

example if there a match up like antrim v limerick and  wicklow v derry  if they get drawing against each other one of those 4 are in a quarter final already what would u rather be in an all ireland quarter final or some b cup

They new proposals are all about elitism and money men

playing for your country should be seen as a privilage and a novelty and they play enough times in the league anyone

a straight knockout all ireland may also make the league more prestigious aswell

I would make the league have one semi final aswell the league winners get bye to final 2nd and 3rd would play a semi final to get into final that makes finishing top of league a priority

club finals should be on a saturday

do tg4 show junior and intermediate club championships

Do you think all ireland semi finals should be taking out of croke park

strabane have lights  maybe its just for training to tho

might seem a stupid question but ive only just recently  getting into the gaa structure  at county level


question is does every club in tyrone have flood lights

gaa should have a club ban for any game after 4pm on a sunday

Does anyone think playing a game at 7.30pm on a sunday night  a bad thing no matter what the age group or gender


Does gaa host many club games on saturday evenings
