2016 Championship draw......A & B Qualifers

[TheOptimist]

Derry to Dublin is over 3 hours too!

Derry to Cavan is about 2 - 2 & 1/2 hours

Thurles to Cavan is 2 & 1/2 hours.

So seems reasonably fair

Didnt realise derry dublin was that far.

Derry to cavan is 135km......clonmel to cavan is 239km. Pretty much all tipp support is from clonmel and surrounding areas in the south. Anyway, it is what it is, it would be a hell of a lot worse if we had nowhere to travel to this weekend.

Just out of interest, cant really recall derry playing much in cavan, maybe the league but have ye played there often recently?

We've played there last weekend

Before that the last championship match I can remember us playing there was against laois in 2007

Possibly played more recent league or mckenna cup games there but I can't remember them

Only team to beat Cavan in Cavan this year was Derry, twice

Ah jaysus....ye'll have no trouble with little old tipperary so!! Be a long trip home from yer new home venue

Nice try

Ye knocked out cork, put 2-10 past kerry and have had some really good underage teams recently. Very much a 50/50 game

Absolutely, sure I don't think Tipp have ever lost a championship match at Breffni Park...ever

If it turns out to be Tyrone v mayo and Dublin v Donegal will they stick to a double header on 6th August? Some crowd at that.......

First sell out of the year if that happens. Hurling semi on the Sunday, so it would seem it would have to be a Saturday double bill, no matter who ends up being involved

Is it an open draw at the QF stage? Or still this A and B bollix?

It will hardly be a double header with Dublin in it?

It was the last couple of years anyway.
Yes Benny it's "A and B bollix" in the Quarter.

Double header with Dubs v Donegal at 6

[Clinker]

Double header with Dubs v Donegal at 6

A bit far ahead to be talking yet but if this keyboard warrior man/woman above happens to be correct:

The Minor "match" to be on second - Jimmy did well but let there be no one pretending about the reality now.
The interesting match where even Paddy Power will not have a certainty -  to be on first it seems.
Is this to do with Gardaí and dispersal of crowds and health and safety?
That would give Tyrone and Mayo rich people more time to go home - outside of Club and League (with the discounted early buy tickets is now beyond the ordinary decent people of Ireland) - SKY SKY SKY -the posters on this board scream - which is sensible to prevent accidents on the road because of tiredness and the rich are normally looked after first by those in control. No reason to stay for the inevitable result of the post Jimmy second game.
Donegal ones will catch on soon not to waste whatever money they have in their isolation.
Remember when the Boys From Killybegs Came Rolling Home.
Fishing wrecked. Them Kilkeel boys knew what they were voting for.

Limerick could be the solution. But I could not see Donegal going for that?

Apparently all quarter finals have to be played in Croker because people who shelled out for corporate boxes or premium level tickets were promised so when they bought them. Presumably replays weren't included in the contract which is how the Mayo/Kerry replay ended up in Limerick.

Thank god we are all members of an organisation that is of the people for the people.  No expense spared (if you get what i mean).
