Super 8s

[under the bar]

Today shows that super 8s will simply ensure that Dublin will never get caught cold coming out of Leinster!

Thanks, but in fairness you should include Dublin .....at least for another three weeks.

Stop worrying about Tyrone not able to match Dublin. Don't be using that to call for change. No team in Ireland will get near Dublin.

1 Dublin
2 No other county
3 No other county
4 Tyrone, Mayo, Kerry
5 No other county
6 Monaghan, Donegal, Galway
7 Tipperary, Down, Armagh, Clare, Meath, Kildare
8 The rest

Just wondering with the emergence of the Super 8's could we get the first All Ireland winner to lose two Championship games. Also could we get a team knocked out without losing any games?

In theory, the answer is yes to both.

In fact, in theory, it's possible that a team could lose THREE games and still win the all ireland. Lose provincial championship, and lose two games in the super 8's and get through on score difference. (table would have to finish 6,2,2,2).  Highly unlikely, but still possible.

How will I re-open a thread that hasn't been touched in six months so I can give out? I know, I'll ask a question I already know the answer to, and go from there.

Back to straight knock-out to hell with it.

Just another example of how daft this new format is. Were the county reps sipping whiskey for the day when this was voted in?

That has already happened - 20 years ago.

I still dont get it, I know im a biteen slow but I still havent heard one person tell me how you can run a competition on a Home, away, neutral game for each team where one team plays both their home game and neutral game at the same venue . This competition is not legitimate.

Don't tell me that you're a bitter klare man? 
If klare were good enough, they'd have won the replay.
