The last rr - pre qf- qf
 is the killer

I wonder how many first seeds will win their qf . Will it be 3/4 like last year ?

You would have to assume 4/4 would be the standard every year for the group winners making it the the semis.
This would have been the case last year only for Monaghan's penalty win over Armagh.

I wouldn't be surprised if 3/4 would be the usual most years for the first seeds in as regards making the semis. I think most years you've a very decent chance of one of the Ulster teams turning over one of the other provincial winners.

As you said the the preliminary quarter-finals route with 3 games in 3 weekends looks like an absolute death-trap of a route towards Sam. It's very hard to see a team winning Sam through that route.

Yes would expect that to be the case until such time that all Quarter finalists are given at least two weeks prep time.  If we get another 3 Quarter final mis-matches this year as we did last year then HQ need to tweak it.

Bayern Munich 2 Real Madrid 2 it finished and sets things up nicely for the 2nd leg.

Real Madrid 1-0 ahead with their first attack of the match on 25 minutes.  Six shots for Bayern Munich on goal before that.

Louth v Meath Leinster U20 final starting at 7:30pm live on TG4






Decent half of football.  Meath 1-6 Louth 0-6

Result Meath 3-13 Louth 0-12.    Meath's first Leinster U21/U20 title for 23 years.

22k at Croke Park yesterday. Sure everything is grand. Well done the GAA. Hope ye are proud.

Ostriches.

Would definitely do no harm to move the Leinster games out of CP for a year or two. No Dubs I know would have an issue with this

Louth will give Dublin a game for 45/50 mins. Kildare, what is the craic there? Could be doing with a McGuinness or a Gallagher type manager

Kildare played Dublin in Croke Park twice last year.

In the league Dublin 1-11 Kildare 0-13 and in the Leinster championship Dublin 0-14 Kildare 0-12.  If they were playing Dublin yesterday it probably would be a 15 to 20 point defeat.

9k at the meeting of the big 2 in the Leinster hurling championship today. I imagine it won't get the same headlines the 22k at Dublin Meath got

Compared to Munster the interest in the Leinster Hurling championship doesn't seem to be great.

Why is the final between the 2 d2 teams? Hmmmn.

Div 2 seems to be the place to be nowadays, current All Ireland champions played in Div 2 last year.

Is a draw at full time or after extra time? It'd be worth a bet I think!

After 70 minutes.
