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

[Rossfan]

Laois v Armagh in Portlaoise on Sat 18th at 3.30 live on RTÈ.
Lucky to get 4,000.

How come the losers of Meath/Louth will only get 6 days? I thought the whole A/B side was to prevent that happening?

[Rossfan]

I mentioned that earlier.
Meanwhile Wexford knocked out of Leinster 21 May are in the B section and have to wait 5 WEEKS.

Especially given that Ireland play Belgium at 2

The GAA is such a hopelessly administered organisation at times. It's obvious to anyone and everyone that Meath/Louth and Wexford are in the wrong sides of the draw. Either Leinster Council made a mess of the fixtures or the GAA made of mess of placing teams in the A/B sections but someone has made a mess somewhere along the line. Is any actually held accountable for something like this?

[westbound]

Looks like a Leinster council feic up. Both are Leinster Q-finals so no reason why they were fixed 4 weeks apart!

More brainless administration from the GAA allowing it clash with the Ireland match.

What's that - cricket?

Ireland play South Africa at 4 in the rugby that day. There's Mayo Galway that evening on sky and RTE already have a pre arranged slot for 3.30. In fairness to the gaa it might not be straight forward to move the game. Though personally think they should ask rte if it was possible to move it back to 4 or 4.30. RTE possibly have another euro game at 5 so it would depend what they have on the other channel.

Not too bothered at all about missing a rugby friendly match but that is even dafter on the IRFU's part.

why is it dafter on the IRFUs part?

[Unlaoised]

Why are RTE showing Laois v Armagh who is going to switch over the Irland game to watch it?

3.30 for a game on a saturday is just a kick in the teeth to any fans let alone that it is clashing with Ireland in the euro's..can't see many if any travelling from Armagh for this ...

Be lucky if there is 1500 at it!

Maybe Laois are getting punished for complaining about the whole Nolan Park fiasco!

Agreeing to play an international rugby friendly match the same time as a major European championship match, thought that was fairly obvious.
