All Ireland Straight Knockout Championship

I actually quite like the idea and think it might be worth a go.

Not to the administartion it wouldn't. I can understand the sentiment though and would favour it as it would provide clubs more of the summer months to make use of.

It might be worth thinking about to an extent. Perhaps rejig the provinces and have Ulster, Leinster and Connaught run as normal and throw the Munster teams into one of the above on a rotational basis, that way Kerry wont have a cake walk to an All-Ireland semi final every year.

remember the centenary cup back in '84 - that was a great tournament - we beat Cork in the first round, Kerry in round 2, Wicklow in round 3 and lost to Monaghan in the semi - it'd be a good cup - you'd need big money payouts to make anyone interested though!
