Sam Maguire permutations

For the umpteenth time....
No repeat pairings of Group games or Provincial Finals (where possible).
Semi Final draw is no repeats of previous Championship games (where possible...might not be possible at that stage)

Only 4 games to win, football is coming home

His optimism is a joy to behold. 

That YouTuber seems to be some sort of Irish Unionist as he often changes his username to things like BritishIslesUnited and he always uploads videos whenever republicans misbehave. Unless he does this to try to troll nationalists which is common among southerners.

I assume that's for my benefit, was the Irish Times fixture list of Connacht v Munster and Ulster v Munster at the AI semi stage wrong then?

Can't help thinking Dublin were the real winners in today's draw.

One of the two teams capable of beating them will be gone this time next week, and the other one will likely be punctured from a do or die battle.

Defo happy to see Galway and Mayo draw each other, but i wouldn't want either of them nor Tyrone in the quarters.

I think the winners of Galway/Mayo will use that momentum to win their QF, no matter who they get.

I fancy 4 away wins in the prelims, but not with much confidence. Should be a great round of games.

As usual, the GAA make hard work of explaining what they are at. This webpage describes the process, but only says that there will be semi-finals, not how they are grouped

How hard is it to put a clear an complete description of the football championship?

There is going to be war over GAAGO over the next 2 weekends. GAAGO gets half of the matches.

As clear as mud. It's like them putting the draw this morning on the radio where nobody could see it. And then to find out that all of the plum draws they would wish for actually materialised!

We were Sat last year and Armagh were the Sunday

[bennydorano]

Sunday's better, less traffic

[armaghniac]

Sunday's better, less traffic

and cheaper parking.

Saturday:
Cork v Roscommon, Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 2pm, GAAGO

Kildare v Monaghan, O'Connor Park, 4.45pm, GAAGO

Donegal v Tyrone, MacCumhaill Park, 7pm, GAAGO

Sunday:
Galway v Mayo, Salthill, 3pm, RTE One

[seafoid]

The odds have changed.

Dublin and Kerry are still 2/1
but 4 teams are 9/1- Derry, Armagh , Galway and Mayo

[Rossfan]

An early start Saturday!
If it was a Group game I'd probably give it a miss  but as it's likely Ros' last game of 2023 I'll make the effort.
