Quote from: jb77 on November 26, 2025, 12:32:08 PMThe league starts in January how is that any different. If you're concerned about snow and your safety then stay in the house lmao


The league , last year I made the trek to Galway to see my county team when I know loads cancelled due to the storm, but it was the county team playing a county team - the McKenna cup serves only the coffers of the Ulster GAA.

You were going to Galway for the pints Munchie you're not kidding us with that narrative.

QuoteSee the bould Ronnie got his red suspended or rescinded effectively. Must be great to be mates with Trump and Infantino. Bring back Sepp, all forgiven.

And I see  FIFA are  keeping the big seeds apart in the second  round , so the likes of Spain Argentina France  won't meet until the semis or final.

I'm  hoping  for a Cape Verde v Curacao final . That'll show 'em!

cape verde v Curacao holy feck. There are about 20 teams going to the world cup that shouldn't be anywhere near it. I find it strange that UEFA with all its power can't get more of its teams there. Hungary and many many more European teams not even at the play offs would destroy a number of these pub teams that have qualified. NZ just have to turn up FFS and they are guaranteed qualification. Should have kept at 24, 32 at the max but 48 and talk of going to 64 :o
It's all about the  money. No other reason.

32 was more than enough. 48 is  a joke, especially as  the second  round  is a round of 32 . That's  12 groups x 6 games = 72 games , just to eliminate 16 teams. Most of which are cannon  fodder like CuraƧao, Uzbekistan and Middle Earth anyway.

FIFA are one  corrupt shower of b@stards.

I'm all for more teams if it makes Irelands chances more likely.

But I think they're messing with something that is as close to perfect as you could get. The 32 teams was just perfect.

The World Cup is hands down the best competition in World Sport but I think increasing it to 48 teams might put that in jeopardy.

Cuchullains slight favourites with the bookies. Which could be liable to flip the other way before the game.

I see Sallins of Kildare Favorites for the All Ireland.

Followed by An Gaelatcht of Kerry

Cuchullains and Strokestown next favourites.

United are poor, nothing changed too much from last year

Yep if he started Mount instead of Mazroui play him as a 10 and moved Amad to RWB i think they'd have won

Quote from: nrico2006 on November 24, 2025, 11:26:51 PMI stopped taking Cavan GAA men seriously when they started launching appeals against teams playing underage players.

That was a contentious one alright I'll give you that.

You're digging deep into the archives there Nrico 😂

I'm actually totally confused about how the Tyrone system works here now I thought it was simple 2 up 2 down.

Can someone explain how promotion and relegation works in simple terms.

I assume league winners and championship winners both go up.

What happens if a team wins a league and championship double do just 1 team go up?

How does relegation work? If you win championship and finish bottom of league are you relegated?

How does relegation work through the championship if there's no relegation playoff?

As bad as Zirksee was he came closest to scoring.

All round play was poor though.

United when they don't have Amad at RWB look a limited outfit.

Alot of what United have done well this year has been the linkup between Amad and Mbuemo down that same wing.

If Cavan sent their strongest team from each league division like you guys are proposing; the quality of team would be arguably alot higher.

Best team in Divison 3 this year would be Denn; who won Ulster Junior 3 or 4 years ago; they would be a significantly better team than the Munchies who won it this year.

And instead of Cuchullains we could get Division 2 Kilygarry to Represent us or Division 2 Ballyhaise who have both been in Senior County Finals and Ulster Intermediate Finals in recent years.

Division 2 Ballyhaise threw away a 12 point lead v Kingscourt in the Senior championship quarter final who were the eventual winners this year. Would you prefer if we got them to represent us at intermediate?

The main reason that can be attributed to Cavans recent upturn in results at junior level and intermediate levels is a more even distribution of teams across the levels over the past decade or slightly more

Not that long ago Cavan had 17 senior sides, 13 intermediate and 10 junior.

It now has 12 Senior 14 intermediate and 12 Junior with 2 clubs dropping down into reserve competitions.

So your intermediate representative went from being your 18th best team to your 13th etc.
