All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Armagh18]

No doubt the fools at CCCCCC will take Derry Dublin to Clones. Newry the obvious choice.

Newry or Armagh both probably better options. Why do you think Clones?

[Cavan19]

Mayo v Donegal - Cavan
Cavan v Tyrone - Enniskillen
Kerry v Meath - Tullamore
Roscommon v Cork- Portlaoise
Monaghan v Down - Armagh
Louth v Clare - Longford
Galway v Armagh - Navan
Dublin v Derry - Newry

Can't see any of the above in Bold holding games as they will be away themselves on Saturday.

Anyone know why Down GAA were allowed to streamed the Down-Louth game but the GAA refused to allow Armagh GAA stream the Armagh-Derry game?

The audio was streamed officially - some found/shared a link to the private stream. I think every game has that for media viewing etc.

Bigger crowd of dubs can be accommodated.

Would prefer either of the other two.

Knowing the GAA, they'll probably take it to Breffni.  Said it before, but Christ knows why these venues/dates/times couldn't be announced in advance to let people plan. Then they'll yap about the lack of crowds.

You can't keep on playing "neutral" games much closer to one team than another

Fully agree! The logical conclusion following on from that being that Breffni is significantly closer to Armagh than Galway...

There is no question about this. The venue should be Cavan Town. Both Carrick and Sligo are twice as close to the nearest point in Galway as they are to the nearest point in Armagh. I know Galway is a much bigger county but it would be very unfair to Armagh followers to take this game back in to Connacht for a third year running. 

And they're also much further from the furthest point in Galway than anywhere in Armagh

It's actually soul destroying to read these mind numbingly stupid arguments for the third year in a row

They literally put the games the same time distance from both county grounds both years. Sounds like they'll do the same again

I know the fixtures should be out any minute, but, its very very frustrating waiting to see where and when games will be. People are trying to make plans and theyre leaving everyone waiting....I understand it comes down to television rights and they didnt want to commit to potential dead rubber games so then we all have to suffer and wait....

That shouldn't change the venue. Do all games in each group not get played at the same time anyway? So, for example, the Galway v Armagh and Derry v Dublin games are played at the same time. 

[meathie]

I think all the games in each group are to be played at the same time, not necessarily all games though.... theyre meant to be played over Saturday and sunday

There's the further complication that they can't pick a venue if the county team is playing elsewhere that day, as they won't have the grounds staff. The logistics for this round is much more complicated.

As an armagh supporter, would be happy enough with Carrick. A good town for a lock of pints and a bit of craic before/after

[WT4E]

What times these venues out is Fergal McGill and the boys away for lunch before they decide! Get the finger out

It was 1:30pm this time last year when they confirmed the venues for the round 3 games, looks like lunch is a little longer this time?

The fat cats in croker find it hard to get back to work when there's plenty of money to spend - they be firing into GAA pitches on the way back to HQs

Doubt there'll be too many from Gort or Portumna going to this game for some reason.
