Qualifiers

[AQMP]

Limerick v Offaly...Offaly pulled a big performance out of the bag to trim Monaghan, so I'll go with them
Down v Leitrim...the head says Down all the way but they made heavy weather of Clare, I'll go for Down by one or two
Laois v Kildare...with apologies to my Tyrone and Meath friends Kildare are the best team in the qualifiers.  Should win by 5 or 6
Longford v Tyrone...this could be tight and Glen Ryan has Longford going well...Tyrone after ET??
Armagh v Wicklow...Home advantage to see Armagh home??
Meath v Galway...based on the weekend's games Meath by four or five
London v Waterford...a big win and home draw, could be London again
Antrim v Carlow...hmmm good draw for Antrim but Carlow are a better team than they showed yesterday.  Mick McCann a big loss to us, but James Loughrey is back and looks to be in great nick.  Casement Park advantage, I'll go for Antrim by one score then draw the winners of London/Waterford

kildare/laois should be good. Id expect us tosee of wicklow

[Jinxy]

So it's our sworn enemies Galway again.
I hate them so much.

I would expect the Laois Kildare match to be the obvious choice for live TV coverage.

Yep tis...TV3 7pm.

I know he probably has super powers, being an alien and all, but how is E.T. going to ref all those matches at the same time?

Feel sorry for Leitrim worst possible draw teams like them should be allowed a home game. London will fancy a 2nd championship win.

I understand your sentiment that weaker teams should be given the best possible chance. But you are forgetting the fans that travel to the match. It cost me almost 100 Euro in petrol alone to go to that match in Clare. Surely its not fair that some fans would be required to shell out that money every time just because their team is doing well? I was dreading another away draw and not because I would worry so much about advantage, simply because of the costs starting to really mount up.

What's the story with so many 7pm throw ins these days? Not fair for the traveling support IMO

Saturday afternoon shopping traffic in a lot of the provincial towns is the reasoning often offered.

Evening throw ins generally generate a better atmosphere in my experience.

Point taken. i was only thinking of it from a Leitrim point of view.

Yes they do generate better atomspheres but for some traveling support especially with small children they don't get home until very late at night.

Kids love being let stay up late.
