Hopefully soupy made a full recovery

Embarrassed for the lad that day
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Good to see Dublin current all ireland champions on Sunday Game, maybe in 50 years when casement is built Antrim might be in the mix to replace the proper champions in the credits.

Well as long as the players don't drop like they were shot I'll be happy enough

Paddy Burns was whacked that hard his all ireland medal near fell out of his pocket. Luckily Antrim never have that problem.

Still think there'll be a number of easy groups due to the dearth of quality teams around at the minute. Derry could yet end up in a group where they are the best team. One of Louth/Meath are supposedly a top 4 team and one of Louth/Meath and Clare are supposedly a top 8 team.

There's some seriously poor teams around at the minute. Tyrone, Mayo, Dublin, Kerry, Monaghan and Derry are all shadows of the teams they've fielded over the last 10 years. Which would be no bad thing if their was a few 2nd tier teams coming up to challenge them but Roscommon, Cavan, Down, Fermanagh, Laois, Clare, Cork and Westmeath are all standing still if not in regression.

None of the Ulster teams have impressed me. Kerry vs Galway in the final, rematch of 2022.

Kerry was less impressive with how they overcame Cork than Donegal,Armagh in recent Ulster matches.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

If you get Derry, it will be as a 4th seed after you relegated Dublin to 3rd seeds yesterday (congrats). Your easy 3rd seed might be Dublin again.

. You right. Don't think we will get dubs again. But if we do let's hope it's in Navan great to get another victory and at home too

Wednesday apparently. I'm assuming there are no repeat pairing restrictions?

Dont think so. Off the top of my head Derry beat Monaghan well in Ulster then drew in the groups a few years ago.

Should leave the draw until after the provincial finals imo.
