QuoteSEPT 16
ALL IRELAND SENIOR AND MINOR FOOTBALL FINALS

So does this mean we are back to the traditional third Sunday in September for the football final? I thought that 2006 was a one off for the Ryder Cup.

surely the 16th is the 2nd sunday?  I heard that was going to be the new date from now on - to facilitate club fixtures.

The 16th is the third Sunday - 2nd, 9th & then 16th ;)

Jaysus that got the auld goosbumps up, are we that close  :o

First game should be a good one to start with.

Any idea what the designated provincial line up is for the football semi finals?  Ulster v who?

Also, anyone know what date is the Ulster designated semi...August 19th or 26th?

Are BBC showing live matches this season or will it interfere with the coverage of David Healy's latest trip to Tesco's or the barber?

It goes anti clock wise for leinster
So
Leinster (Tyone bt Dublin) V Ulster (Armagh) 05
Leinster V Connaght 06
Leinser V Munster 07
So Ulster V Connaght 07
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Does anyone know if the Connaught-Ulster semi-final is on the 19th or the 26th of August?

I just knew that I should have checked that out, but i was busy and decided to take a chance - never again, hardly any more shoddy ill researched post from me anymore, promise! :-[ :-[

The first televised games of the year are Longford v Westmeath and Down v Cavan. I for one think this is a ridiculous move by both the GAA and RTE. All this talk about promoting the games in order for it to remain as number one sport in Ireland and they open with these 2 matches. Pat Spillane wrote last year that Sky wouldnt put on Fulham v Blackburn as their first game of the season and he was spot on in what he wrote. RTE should start with one of the champions (Kilkenny or Kerry) to launch the championship. I mean they started the League with a high profile game and then when it comes to championship they dont bother.

Does this still hold true? Do they not draw the QFs and SFs now. Does anyone know exactly what system is used this year?

Mostly the GAA since RTE can't televise a game unless it is on, however televising Kilkenny or Kerry hammering someone wouldn't be any help either. The games they are showing are ones where there is doubt over the result and all the more entertaining as a result.



If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

tyroneboi

what so cavan v down and longford v westmeath will have you on the edge of your seat? cavan v down last year was one of the worst championship games of the year - just saying GAA need to promote their product more.

BallyhaiseMan

Sure in that case only Tyrone,Armagh,Dublin,Mayo,Kerry,Laois and a few others should enter the championship.

We wouldnt want any of the other shite counties being seen,It might turn people off the GAA according to Tyroneboi.

The GAA of course is all about the Elite teams.

As usual Spillane seems to be talking sense till you look into it.  Comparing the fa league with the championship isnt fair . A faired comparison would be saying you dont see the fa cup starting off with all the weaker teams. which we all know it does. The GAA can only pick from what the draw has afforded
