Quote from: J70 on April 30, 2024, 04:00:54 PMSo Dublin v Mayo/Galway losers will NOT be in Croke Park?

Gaelic Grounds?
Clones?

It definitely won't be in Parnell Park, so maybe a neutral venue like Croke Park.

You may joke, but they've used that logic before!

So Donegal are guaranteed to play a team they've already beaten!!!

Why do they do the draw for this before the provincial finals?

Quote from: omagh_gael on April 30, 2024, 03:33:39 PMIs there an argument to say the loser of Mayo/Galway would be at an advantage in the group stages?

Only 1 team per group goes out. It's all about injuries and momentum then.
The surest way to success is to top the group and avoid the pre qf match.

Thurles or Limerick if Galway or Cavan if Mayo?

It hasn't happened in the new format so far, why would it happen this year?

Likely to be Dublin and Galway. Should be played in Tullamore.

The draw suits me. At the start of the year I posted that I wanted Derry to give Armagh another sickener in an Ulster final. I didn't get that but they can always sicken them in Celtic park.

Any visit to Derry is always puke inducing, but perhaps we'll beat Donegal who can then go to Derry and give you another lesson.

Nail on the head there Norm

Am happy enough with Derrys draw, we likely got the weakest 1st seed, though both are strong at home, could got a easier 2nd seed, but I think we stronger than any team in our group. Harte has a long lead in time for abit of planning.

Good to see the Penalty Kick Champs are mentally recovering from their embarrassing home defeat to plucky Division 2 Champs Donegal. Certs for the AI.
