Back Door/ Qualifiers cliches

Celtic Park, a hard to place to get to.
Aughrim, a hard to place to get out of.

Cliches from the early days:
The draw was rigged because X vs. Y will draw a bumper crowd (they rarely did).
I was texted the draw an hour ago.
The publicans and the hoteliers in Dublin had to be consulted.
Tarnished All Ireland

I was once. It was more than an hour before the draw as well
