Good idea that why not toss for a home venue in Semi Finals?!

On a related note, is the first time Celtic park has been used as a venue for a non-Derry championship game? I can't recall any other occasion anyway.

Armagh must be worth an each way bet. Likely to be top seeds having had some warm up matches to try systems/squad before the Ulster final against a jaded Donegal or Tyrone. They'll probably not have a better chance of making a semi or a final for a while.

In all seriousness, bar drawing Dublin I'd be very disappointed if we don't make a semi final. Donegal, Tyrone, Kerry, Derry, Galway, Mayo all very good teams but have their flaws, time we pushed on, sick of hard luck stories at the qf stage.

You have a serious chance of making top seed and then a 66% chance of drawing Clare or Louth/Kildare as 2nd seed in your group. Avoid the preliminary quarter final thereafter and you're set up to beat the hard luck stories!

Donegal have to be favourites for Ulster and serious All Ireland contenders after that performance at the weekend.

I Watched Donegal back last night. To say they blew Derry off the field is an understatement.  Probably the biggest shock in football since they bate the dubs in 2014 and yer man was at the helm then also.  Mc Guinness takes a lot of flak but I think he is a strategic genius and he has rebuilt Donegal again. Can they win the all Ireland. Id put them ahead of Derry at the moment who will now suffer from an inferiority complex with the teams who beat them, as they always do..

Biggest shock since 2014?? You've a short memory don't you remember May 1st 2022??

Some in Cork now questioning the value Horgan and Lehane bring to the team.

Pat Ryan under a bit of pressure this weekend

Can understand the level of criticism of the Manager but to call out two players who are just there because they are picked is a bit much.

Obviously no younger talent bursting down the door to take their place.

I am no fan of Cork either.

Is Harnedy in there also this year?

Cork are so inconsistent. What Cork will turn up?

Some interesting results in the Joe mcdonagh. Wouldn't have expected Kerry to beat Westmeath or Laois to beat Offaly.

Very open now.

Offaly V Westmeath should be a belter.  Loser could have a short season.

Down have the win and could do well depending if the other teams have anything to play for when they meet them later on.

The Joe Mc Donagh is a super competition.  All teams capable of beating each ther on a given day.

Was their any promo for this competetion this year?  The GAA should be timetabling these games a lot better also.

Not quite the same situation but they are building a 34,000 capacity temporary cricket stadium outside New York City for $30 million, started construction in January and will be ready for the T20 Cricket World Cup in June
