It's not the same since the backdoor was put on.
-
Why so bloody early?
-
Why not? Your losing nothing by having it as early as possible and if nothing else, can allow fans to book holidays safe in the knowledge they wont miss a game, or club players to book weekends away or weddings knowing that they won't have league games clashing with when the county is playing
-
Lets the provincial councils sort out their fixtures programme for 2019 I suppose.
As usual the Connacht draw has the two predetermined ties, two from ourselves, Ros and Leitrim to meet in the other first round tie.

It's October ffs ::)

Draw is tonight at 8:30, its on the RTE

Every year the same question is asked.
-
I don’t see any case for it being later. Get it done so everyone can plan ahead.
-
It's been in October for a fair few years as far as I can recall.

Will Roscommon draw Leitrim again? If so I want to lodge a complaint.

The World Cup draw is in December ,six months before it starts in June. Needless having it in December , teams obsessing over who they are playing for Months.

Could well happen -see your colleague Owenmoresider's post earlier.

Sure what’s the problem. Ross will have to beat Leitrim, Mayo and Galway to win Connacht. That is as hard a draw as any team will have.

They got roscommon. Said it was a terrible draw, he wanted Sligo. Hard to motivate himself for it he said.

Tanman taking over Leinster already ;D

Munster draw is a farce. Why do a shit cork team get preferential treatment

Sorry I just assumed it was the standard historic 4 v 2 in the Munster Council when it comes to the football championship.
-
Wonder where the Derry Antrim game will be? Ballymena, Ahoghill?
-
-
Surely it's time for us to beat Monaghan, so many tight defeats previously.
-
The finals should be.
Leinster - Dublin v Meath
Ulster - Monaghan v Tyrone
Connacht - Mayo v Galway
Munster - Cork v Kerry
With Kerry,Dublin,Mayo and Tyrone winning them IMO.
-

Qualifiers are at neutral venues no?

It was Tipp that proposed that Cork and Kerry get byes to the semi-finals.

Looks like next year could be a very bad championship for Division 4 sides and provide a serious chunk of evidence for a tiered championship, given the way the draw went.
The following are the Division 4 sides first round opposition.
Antrim v Tyrone (unless Derry somehow beat Tyrone)
Derry v Tyrone
Leitrim v Roscommon
Limerick v Tipperary
London v Galway
Waterford v Clare
Wexford v Louth
Wicklow v Kildare
4 Division 1 sides and 3 Division 2 sides and only 1 Division 3 side.
There's also Mayo v New York.
Looks like a lot of one-sided matches in the early rounds of the championship
Worth remembering that this is with some protection for Division 4 sides due to the that Kerry and Cork are going straight into the Munster semi-finals and Dublin are going straight into the Leinster quarters.
-
The Corey twins going up against each other in the opening game next year will be an interesting storyline!
-
Will we see Vinnie again next year?
-
Will we see Vinnie again next year?
I'd say so, especially with Malachy staying on too. Haven't heard anything yet but that's my hunch. He just had his best year for a few seasons and he'd be the type to keep playing as long as he's let.
-

A moot point but if Derry won away to Tyrone they would get a home game.

We'll swap our draw with him gladly if he wants so.
It'll be another beating from Galway for us, though hopefully not as pitiful as it was this year, and at least the journey home will be short.
-
Connacht final likely in Salthill then unless Galway trip up against London or Sligo. Galway have home advantage next against both Mayo and Roscommon.
-
We haven't lost a Connacht Final on Galway soil since...??
-
Good draw for Armagh.
Beat Down, then Cavan for a place in the Ulster Final. Handy enough.

Ros are better off playing their ugly sister match or matches before the final. If they are good enough they will get a better all Ireland qf operformance than this year where they had an easy Connacht semi and subsequently did nothing.

Then tanked in the final🙈

Playing Sligo is like an All-Ireland final for Leitrim....lads would be coming home from America and all to try and bate us.
Straight into Connacht semi final will mean we get a good run of club football in April and maybe first week or two in May.
-
And most likely in late June and July too ;D :P
We might be on the same boat too though
-
Imagine the craic out of syf if Roscommon beat mayo in castlebar in the championship .

Lave him alone Larry.
Poor felleen is still in therapy after McStay's flight ;D

What did you make of Smits tone last night in relation to mcstays departure?
-
Give over slating Mulligan for telling the truth. You are the same men that slag off Dublin players for saying they are in for a tough first game. Anything to complain. Mulligan give an honest interview and you are at him. Moron

Yeah, and for this club player planning a wedding next summer it's a godsend because ive a fair idea how fixtures will work now. As I said, it causes no harm having it early

If I was Terry Hyland, Id be wondering is a lad like him worth the hassle in the dressing room. If the going gets tough you know he will go hiding. Example, roscommon are similar to Kildare. Leitrim are similar to Carlow. Carlow beat Kildare last year.
Its not impossible for Leitrim to get organised, motivated and be competitive with Roscommon. With a bit of luck who knows. But its only possible if you have belief and buy in from your players.

If you watched the draw you will know the only team Leitrim have beat in the connaght championship (excluding London & New York) since Mulligan joined the panel is Sligo. They have been well beaten by Roscommon in recent years. It's also a div 1/2 side against a div 4 side. It's easy for you to slag off the man, but you're not the one who has to put in all the training for what is going to be a pointless task. The Clare manager made the same point point about having to play Kerry every year.
The super 8s are a good idea, but they should be at the start of the championship, not the end, an open draw and the provincial championship structure should be scrapped at this stage. Unfortunately you have all the committee men in their provincial roles who will do everything in the power to fight this as they don't want to give up their power/positions as they believe that it worked 50/60 years ago so it should be perfectly fine today

Carlow beating Kildare is a good point and comparison. I have a lot of time for Mulligan the footballer an outstanding talent but If Carlow players had the same negative attitude like Mulligan they would have got well beaten by Kildare this summer.
On Leitrim they have appointed arguably their best manager in years who should have them organised, meanwhile its hard to know where Roscommon will be? still no manager and could end up appointing a pure dud and by the sounds of it whoever is appointed they will have a weaker hand to choose from due to lads retiring or going traveling.

I did watch and I am well aware of Leitrim and their limitations, i was born a stone throw from the county. Roscommon were in Div 3 a couple of years ago, they are not Kerry. A complacent Roscommon team almost lost to New York. A complacent Roscommon team are worth targeting by Leitrim. What is Mulligans point, he wants to draw Sligo every year as they are the only team they can beat? Whats the point in even playing the game if you think like that?
Imagine going into a dressing room full of players beaten as soon as the draw was made. At the very least he should have kept that negative opinion to himself as that negativity can infect other players.
-
Chap was just being realistic and probably fed to the back teeth of meeting our lads.
I think it's the other time in 11 seasons they've drawn Ros.
We obviously weren't too complacent on the 7 occasions to date ;)
-
He would still have been annoyed, you'd imagine if it was Mayo or Galway. Division 1 teams. It isn't like there loads of teams in Connacht, so there was a good chance of being drawn with Roscommon. Even if Leitrim had got Sligo and had Roscommon in the following game what would he be saying.?
-
Happy days. We (Antrim) are through to the Quarter Finals. Some achievement

There's not many teams in Connacht, yet Mayo haven't played Leitrim since 2013ish. Before that was 06. Before that 97.

Oh yeah it's done ages, more to do with whether the lads from the club can come and drink or not! Stag night a big consideration too!

You know the draw is f**ked when you hear keyboard warriors saying it could be worse. None of you will have to train all through the winter for a game in May.
Leitrim have lost 7 in a row to Roscommon but have beaten Sligo. What exactly do you idiots think his reaction should be to Leitrim drawing Roscommon not Sligo???
Posters criticise the dubs for only filling fixtures in Leinster (which they are currently) when it has been dominated by Dublin and then have the cheek/balls to insult Emlyn Milligan for calling a spade a spade.
-
Three good rivalry games in Ulster
Armagh/Down
Derry/Tyrone
Cavan/Monaghan

I'll tell you what his reaction should be tough guy...
v Roscommon. That's a tough draw for us. We have to learn from the past and improve and aim to be very competitive against them and see where that brings us. First we have a league campaign and we need to try and get out of Div 4.
You clearly have no experience of a dressing room if you think talk like that has any place in it.

Syfín will love this . Pre Fine Gael though
