Just for the crack, let's have a competition to predict the pairings for Football Qualifier Round 3. You can espouse a conspiracy theory approach which involves hot balls or cold hamsters. You can pretend it's a game of skill, like they do on that Deal Or No Deal rubbish on TV. Or you can just treat it as a less expensive waste of time than doing the lotto.

In the event of a tie, correct prediction of the home team in each tie is taken into account. (I think they're home team first out of the bowl in this round again.)

The prize for the most pairings correctly predicted is guest attendance at a night of Donegal training. Second prize, two nights, of course. Make your own arrangements with Jim.

Entry is free, unless you're Tony Fearon. There's just so much freeloading that is acceptable from a grown man. TF must compose a post in praise of Tyrone's three All-Irelands.

My prediction (hamster based):
Armagh-Galway
Derry-Tyrone
Laois-Kildare
Cavan-Wexford

T Fearon

Draw I hope for

Armagh V Cavan (boil lancing won't wait until next year)

Derry V Tyrone (good to see one of them go at a comparatively early stage)

Kildare V Galway (just to avenge 1998)

Laois V Wexford (As many Armagh managers in the comp for as long as possible)

If you were any use you'd be playing.

SHEEDY

Armagh v cavan
tyrone v derry

that gets rid of 2 ulster teams

Kildare v galway
wexford v laois

the gaa will be hoping to keep at least 2 leinster teams.
nil satis nisi optimum

armaghniac

Armagh-Galway
Laois-Tyrone
Derry-Kildare
Cavan-Wexford

5 Ulster teams in the 4th round.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Cill Dara.  Revenge for 98, 00, u21 13  and no doubt a few more during that 70 year long litany of winning nothing.  Eternally in transition.

Eh! To play Galway in those years surely Kildare won something? Can't all play in a weakest province can we?

This championship stopped mattering when we exited.

Tyrone are ours, nobody touch them.
