Derry and Tyrone would be great. Be some implosions on here. I dunno who Joe brolly would support either 

Who would be imploding on here?

[on their behalf]

I see Brolly has released the first of a TWO PART special podcast dedicated solely to his grudge with Mickey Harte. The double episode comes days after a coloumn on the topic in the Indo where he revelaed he "personally contacted" Padraig Joyce "to apologise on behalf of the people of Derry" (which makes that now the second time he has apologised on their behalf since the Derry/Galway match). Can anyone from Derry maybe reveal how/when Brolly was elected as their spokesperson/representative?

He wasn't and you know he wasn't. As previously suggested on this board a lot of people on here should heed the advice of Derry people and ignore Joe. Trust me, you'll feel better for it.

A stay of execution, his role is completely untenable now

It looks like he has lost most of the players, and he certainly has lost the supporters.

Love all the Tyronies creaming their knickers all over this.

Not as much as the Derry wans creamed them after winning the league and clearing the shelf for the Sam Maguire Cup   

Absolute horse shite.

Hope all the Armagh lads getting stuck into McKinless last day out recognise what Mackin just did to Glass.

Some lads here have a serious fixation with Brolly and every word that is uttered from his lips. Best to do what the rest of us do and ignore it. Trust me, your day will feel better for it.

[The whole thing is a sh*tshow in terms of how it was managed from day 1.]

I'd say yes, but if people are saying only build what you have the money for - then the plans and specs could be changing? Also if there's no likelihood of getting the funding to build against existing specs - it could be another 10yr delay and a waste of time and effort for a tenderer.

Absolutely, and much of that is at the door of the Ulster Council.

Who are the injuries other than McGrogan?

McEvoy & Conor Doc is the news going around. Which if true is a massive blow to us and tips the scales in the direction of Galway.

Sorry forgot to include Murphy in that who is still injured by all accounts.

They slap AI on everything now as a marketing gimmick. From TVs, fridges, washing machines etc. None of that contains true AI. Very little actually does.

When will the fixtures be confirmed?

The GAA are f'ing useless at planning ahead. All we have is an idea of the weekend each of the teams will be playing. It's ludicrous that they can't publish for all these group games the exact day and time they'll be played and the venues for all the netural games. It's not rocket science. It gives people a chance to plan rather than waiting until each round has been played before announcing the day and time for the next round of games. Surely that is a PR own goal? Am I missing something around that?

4 ahead....should be game over. That was sone opportunity for Armagh.

Bang on. Took the fear instead of pushing on. Same old Armagh.

Someone check on Benny.

Tyrone be happy with that draw, short drive to ulster winner and should have more than enough for clare and Cork. Draw from hell for Derry.

Definitely a tough draw for us but the only advantage to be had is from winning the group, so from that perspective avoiding Dublin and Kerry is most welcome.

It's hardly a draw from hell. If we can't beat Westmeath we don't deserve to be in last 12. In terms of topping the group, I'd prefer the Connacht winners to any other province. Ulster runner up will be a tough one but we should have plenty of motivation to play either of those teams.

Some people esp the media just love cliches particularly "the group of death".

Is the draw solely broadcast on GAA GO or is it on radio anwyay as well?

And 13 people on this forum think Armagh will win the AI. Tyrone and Donegal will be licking their lips to get to an Ulster final now.
