Remember people used to look forward to this. Not even a thread.
Finished a while ago too.
How can you get excited in October knowing that mayo and Dublin will win next July no matter how many times they draw it

My favourite is Munster. Cork and Kerry get byes into semifinals and kept apart. Like all of Dublins games are played in Croke Park, this is a money issue!
Well here is Ulster, if anyone is interested
having not played Cavan for years, we now get them again.
TY/DY should cause local angst.
Monaghan and Donegal not to play in the Ulster final next year.

Does anyone care anymore?
Looks like Laois will get a chance to batter the All Ireland Champs once we take care of Wickla.

Point of order, the Munster finalists are seeded into the next years semi final. If tipp manage to upset cork, assuming they get over Waterford, then in 2017 it would be tipp and Kerry seeded.

Good to know there is some reward for getting to a final. Hope they do It.
I let out a Yelp when I heard the draw. It matters plenty.
I predict there will be a Derry v Tyrone thread before the end of October.
Fermanagh v Antrim, 4th time in three years!

I unnerstand. Chance to get right back at Sligo.
But what the hell was Dessie Dolan rabbiting on about at all?
In fairness I suppose, it's a hard sell at this time of the year. Surely this could wait til new year and people have a bit of appetite again.
Feckn hell but we'll have an awful load of games next year. Need 3 wins just to get to the Connacht final. Hopefully we'll get it right next time and get to it.
As for the timing of the draws - could they not be done same night as the All Stars as a kind of a big end of year GAA night?
Anyway 2015 is dead and gone. Bring on 2016.....

I don't know if you're serious Moy but playing the other arch nemesis in a QF is always a fuckton of fun and a chance of revenge against Sligo is fantastic motivation. We'll worry about Mayo or Galway if we actually get that far.
For counties that failed to live up to expections today is the day it all starts again. And honestly Mayo are in the same group as us in that sense
Haha the inbreds....Class!
Should give them a right walloping, pity they none of them will see it tho as their support has dwindled to nothing lately
Hoping for Donegal again, but sure if we meet them in the final it will do rightly.
Time to take back the Anglo Celt

Living on a prayer if you ask me
We're not asking you :)
Avoiding kerry the big thing for us. Down in kilarney could take a decent hiding which would knock us back. Playing cork in Thurles is a much less daunting task
Worried about the managerial appointment though. The lack of movement makes me think it will be a very low key appointment, which will not be what they need. Tipp have the tools to give Cork their fill of it, especially if Cork are not firing, but if they struggle through the league, then next year will be a waste.
The league is vital for Tipp. As the lads are alluding to, Tipp needs to be operating at a much higher level, for a sustained period, to really make the breakthrough, especially if the breakthrough is to be anything more than a flash in the pan.
The next appointment is critical.
Handy run to the Ulster Final for Tyrone!!
Its beyond farcical that the draw is made now for this. Total dead rubber and just gives excuse to county panels to get back together now and start the cycle again.
Far better doing this draw near the end of the national leagues and build up a level of excitement about it.
Who really cares at this stage.
Quote from: hardstation on October 16, 2015, 12:15:23 PM
Fermanagh away again. I'm pissing my pants in anticipation. ::)
Antrim still with same manager? Surely if best players won't play they need to look elsewhere. Maybe they should do a "Mayo"?
Overall the draws appear quite dull with only Ulster providing big early games
shock, horror, Ulster the ONLY province to get excited about.

couldn't agree more.
I can never figure out the logic of making the draw now.
Enables HQ and the provinces to make an annual fixture list in good time.
And it gets a bit of space for GAA affairs in the rubby and soccer pages of the papers.

Can they not do these draws closer to the time?
Might mean more in March or April next year than now!

Provinces can work out the dates without knowing the teams, its hardly rocket science.

Can't wait
Anyone else find it strange that Antrim didn't get a home draw again. Surely they'd have to play it outside the county if they did?

No doubt this refers to the fact that Pairc Esler is mostly in Armagh.
Riot police have been requested to be in Breffni to police the parade, assuming the parade commission allow it to go ahead.

Do Cavan folk recognise the Parades Commission though? If not, this could get messy.

Ah. Very good.
The bottom half of the Leinster SFC draw has the potential to be a very competitive little mini-championship. Longford v Offaly (again!!) with the winners to play Westmeath is mouthwatering enough. Then Wexford v Kildare to set up the other semi final spot. I'd say all 5 of those teams would fancy a run to the final. That's the way it should be!
what happens when they get there is another story :(

That bottom half is the alternative Leinster championship as Dublin are out on their own. 4 Div 3 teams and a team that got relegated to Div 4. And if the alternative Leinster final is half as good as this years we'll have a cracker. ;D
Typical Westmeath and Offaly arrogance talking about final appearances. Kildare have only eyes for Wexford. >:(
