All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Captain Scarlet]

I'm a neutral as I'm on Tailteann Cup duty so just wondering what bonus game I'll get! 

[Rossfan]

Meath v Dublin no doubt.....

[AustinPowers]

Repeat pairings  should only be avoided  in the next  round. For example, no provincial pairings in the group stage. After that,  you can draw anyone

It's bloody nonsense all this  avoiding  lark

[Captain Scarlet]

I really have a feeling Meath could beat Galway. I know Galway are better but they have had to dig deep a fair bit over the last few weeks.
If Ethan Rafferty ties up Walsh like he did Clifford then that's a massive boost. They also have big mobile men around the middle and can let rip from distance.

In the others I think the Dubs and Donegal will come through and Armagh will put Kerry out. I'm basing it off vibes but I could see Armagh by 5+ v Kerry.

This weekend is going to be brilliant.

Anyone having trouble buying tickets?
I was in the queue & got in after about ten mins, but getting a message saying the interactive seat map could not be loaded. Not working at all.

[Harold Disgracey]

Can't even get logged in whatever is wrong with Ticketmaster.

[SaffronSports]

Got sorted but the process is shite

[Armagh Girl]

Ticket Master was a disaster this morning, (even for the Season Ticket Holders), spent 45 in total trying to secure tickets.  Seats wouldn't load then when you got to seats and picked them they were taken.  Finally got sorted but the system is a shambles.  Keep going in and trying you will eventually get there!

[galwayman]

Got in but nothing in lower Hogan or Cusack available.
Upper Hogan 733 about the best that's there at the minute

[SaffronSports]

I bought Upper Cusack. 708 maybe so in line with the 20 roughly.

I'd promised my daughter months ago that I'd try to get tickets for one of the double headers. She was looking to see David Clifford regardless so just so happens she'll also get to see Rian O'Neill and Shane Walsh all being well so should be a good experience for her.

Well they fooled me.  I figured that Dublin & Kerry would play Saturday so that all four teams would have an equal 7 days rest.  It was the only sensible way to determine when each played.  Also the most fair way.  Who is in charge of scheduling, RTE or the GAA?

I'm more puzzled by Donegal not being drawn against Meath.  Donegal have already played Armagh, Tyrone and Monaghan.  This makes no sense to me at all.  Were the GAA that afraid of an all Ulster Semi Final?

Seriously does this organisation actually have any rules or do they just make things up on the spur of the moment?  Donald Trump for GAA President!

Donegal did not play Monaghan in a provincial final, therefore were eligible to be drawn.

Thank you for that clarification.  I assumed it would apply for ANY championship match. 

BTW why doesn't it apply for any championship match?  The logic of avoiding repeat matches is sound.  But why cut it off at the provincial finals?

Strangely for the semi's it is any championship match. So if Armagh and Tyrone both go through they'll be kept apart. (If possible)

ì think Tyrone will come through. Galway have more than one forward. Maybe the fatigue will tell, if not it promises to be an excellent match and may the best team win.

Same here and heard of more.
