I suppose the first debatable point is; where will/should it be played?

Clones got both semi finals in the past few years but I'm not sure if that's automatic. Obviously I'd prefer Clones but realise it's not exactly neutral for Monaghan..

I heard it said that if Antrim won it would be Breffni and if Fermanagh won it would be the Athletic Grounds.

The other way around surely!

I'd say Breffni is the logical place for it if it's supposed to be a neutral venue.

Breffni is logical, but logic is sometimes absent. Presumably Omagh would have some merit also.

Monaghan will cruise through to semi final. Fermanagh are a well organised, well drilled, but very poor collection of players. For them to struggle over 14 man shambles Antrim doesn't inspire much confidence. There are better club teams than both Antrim and Fermanagh

I think Monaghan had their semi-final in both 2013 and 2014 in Clones. Have the rules changed?

As far as i am aware Armagh were offered last years semi in either Clones or Omagh and they opted for Clones. Would have thought that the logical venue this year would be Breffni.

Logic says it has to be either Cavan or Clones. The handiest for both sets of supporters is Clones. They'd come from opposite directions. Cavan would be a huge bottleneck from Butlers Bridge. Armagh makes no sense.

Why do we have to wait weeks on end for these games?
Life was much more simpler when we got knocked out, first time of asking.

I don't think RTE 2 have it live, but at least
BBC NI deferred coverage

Sky sports have got the booby prize, the dark side of the semi final draw.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

I thought all games were live on BBC apart from the Fermanagh - Antrim one? Seeing as its only Ulster they cover, you'd think they'd have the semis.

You can't be disrupting Sky with coverage that normal people can actually watch.
