3.30 Throw in on a Saturday.
What is the sense in having the throw in time so early?

Just so ye Ollsther Bucks would have something to complain about perhaps 

[Dont Matter]

Laois v Kilkenny in the minor hurling semi final is after the Fermanagh game I think, so the Fermanagh boys can be thought a lesson in football first and then be shown how to play hurling.
Lets get this age old rivalry between Laois and Fermanagh in motion!

[rodney trotter]

Derry get some luck with the home draws, Down twice last year, Cavan and Sligo. Donegal and Longford so far this year

Dont Matter - you didn't take me up on previous offer of some work on the bog. Are you still free ? We could fit in some grammar lessons if it rains   C'mon Ballyfin !

We've been very lucky this last 2 years with home draws, but over the piece its probably average enough with most other teams I'd say.

All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers Round 1B
Down v Leitrim, Pairc Esler,

Reported that 5 players incl the goalkeeper have departed the Laythrum panel. Obviously better things to do than spending 3 weeks training for the inevitable trimming  .

Given that half Pairc Esler is in Armagh, the prospect of visiting there may have reminded Leitrim of Armagh's high scoring visit last year.

I must start more of my sentences with 'Given'.

[neilthemac]

Is that what the A & B pots are for?
To make it less likely Ulster and Leinster teams will play another team from the same province?

[armaghniac]

The A & B pots reflect the timing of games, as far as I understand.

[omagh_gael]

I am completely lost here. How does the draw work after round 1? Is A/B forgot about and an open draw with losing semi finalists or will losing semi finalists be only allowed to play against teams from their original group e.g. if Monaghan lose to Armagh they'll have to play against a winner from group B?

Can Roscommon get Tyrone in Hyde Park again?
