All Ireland Minor Football Championship 2012

[Syferus]

I'm wondering if Mayo's game v Tipp will be in Croke Park? Or will they drag the minors and seniors to different venues on different days or will they have us on the same time and different places?

As provincial champions with their hurlers still in the minor championship I sincerely hope the game is fixed at a time and date to suit Tipperary. There imho has to be some sort of incentive to winning the province and if there is any justice the game should be played in Thurles or Cashel.

Imvho of course.

Neutral venues.

Kerry, Tipp, Mayo, Meath and Dublin are still in both so any of

Ros-Kerry
Tipp-Mayo
Dublin-Monaghan
Tyrone-Meath

can be the two lead-ins for the senior QF double bills in Croke Park in two weeks' time. Tipp could lose in R4 and the maths wouln't change, only a Kerry or Meath loss would make what the scheduling will be any clearer.

Paddy Power now has Dublin favourites at 7/4 to win the All Ireland.  I think we all saw that coming.

Tipperary's odds didn't change much if at all? punters reckon a repeat of last year's final however i think Tyrone may have something to say about that.

Are the venues for these games being decided this weekend? Saw highlights of Dublin v Meath. Meath shipped three very soft goals no doubt they will tighten up the next day. Also saw highlights of Tipp v Kerry, Tipperary were very impressive even when they went behind they didn't panic and came back and finished very strong. At the minute I think it'll be a Dublin Tipperary Final.

Venues will be decided when the Senior Draw/Fixtures being made.
With Dublin and Mayowr definitely and Meath/Kerry/Tipp possible doubly engaged some of the Minor QFs may be in Croker.

[Rossfan]

Dublin , Mayowr and Kerry doubly involved next weekend.
Hopefully we'll get a Croker date now.

Our minor game confirmed for Croke park, early throw in time of 12pm  but at least the 3 games will be value for money

Happy with 12pm actually, the 2pm, 4pm, 6pm schedule last year meant I had to skip the extra-time in the Donegal-Kildare match to make the bus.  The last game being on at 4pm also means a train journey back is possible too, which is always far more comfortable.

Early start but better than going to Thurles or Ennis.
Should it not be 12 Noon as there's no 12 am or 12 pm
3 games will be some value alright- I suppose Ros will get tickets buried in an out of the way corner 
Last year a mate got the tickets off Ros Co Board and when he moaned about the location he was told "Sure what do you expect for Minor tickets" so he shot back - "How about a Minor price ?" 
Might buy on thoul' net but you don't know what sore of gob5h1te you'd be stuck beside for 6 hours.

Tell me when you're buying them so I don't accidentally end up beside you. I won't be bringing water-proof clothing and all your sobbing will stain my lovely Hospice jersey.

It's a suitable time for those that want to travel back on public transport but i always make a weekend of it & will be staying in Dublin for the weekend's action on and off the field

You'll need rain gear and binoculars if you buy off Co Board Sufferus. And 6 hours beside you would be more than any mortal could bear.
Then again you'll be behind the goals in the kiddies seats with your mammy or daddy 
Anyway this is the one we've been waiting for and let's hope we get revenge for 09.
Hopefully the Standard in Connacht will prove to have been decent but you never know at Minor till you meet a team from outside your own province.
We weren't hectic in Connacht ( apart from Leitrim game but a Div 3 club team in Ros would have bet them) but maybe the opposition were good too.

[Captain Obvious]

Dublin v Monaghan, Newry 5.30pm

Tyrone v Meath, Newry, 7.15pm

Ulster venue for the Ulster teams they have to be happy with that.
