Who advocated abolishing the Provincial Championship or the Provincial Finals?
Isn't proposal B keeping them in watered down format with Finals??

Would any serious hurling person advocate abolishing the Munster Hurling final?
Why would any serious football person in Ulster, or anywhere for that matter, advocate abolishing the Ulster football final and the Ulster Championship?

Well if you're to hold that view that means you also have to hold the view that you can't win the All-Ireland from outside Division 1, you can't even compete. Inevitable defeat in the knockout stage will be your lot.
Which means the proposal is completely elitist.
We already see the yo-yo team phenomenon in action in the League. Teams get promoted from Division 2 and go straight back down. Promoted teams cannot break into the elite circle because the game is loaded against them.
So under Proposal B, the championship will be run for the benefit of the few, and f**k the rest.

I fancied Tyrone to beat Donegal irrespective of Murphy and McGee. One is done and injuries are catching up with the other. As for Kerry they were stuffing teams out the gate all-year and have won manys an all ireland with dodgy defences. Mayo just did what mayo do 8n many finals.
Let's not belittle tyrones achievement. They beat 4 division one teams on the way to this all ireland. Have dublin or kerry ever done this. They've probably won all irelands playing no division one teams.
4 D1 teams and the reigning Ulster champs. It's a serious route to the final.
2008 we got beat by Down in Ulster, then played
Louth D3
Westmeath D2 (had won promotion that year to D1)
Mayo D1
Dublin D2 (had won promotion that year to D1)
Wexford D3 (had won promotion that year to D2)
Kerry D1
So even that year we only played 2 actual D1 teams but 2 teams who went up to D1 that summer.
I had clean forgot about Wexford in the semi that year. What a summer for them!!

Fergal Logan a free run at it with a team of Dooher, Holmes, McMahon and Pete Donnelly back in according to radio Ulster.
See quote and onwards. Most of us saw it as a good move. What's the plans next year?

Score 2 of them and you'd have been a point up. It's much too simplistic to say that would have won the game (I know that's not exactly what you said). Tyrone could just have easily have reacted and pushed on and scored more. And likewise Tyrone missed some other simple chances, if we had have scored them we'd have won by a mile.
Totally agree. My point was really that Mayo aren't scoring enough in finals to win them. Missing clear cut goal chances saps the confidence of the whole team. 0.15 won't win too many finals but 2.15 would be hard to beat most times. Mckenna showed a level of composure that IMO was beyond any of the Mayo forwards.
