Championships start on 11th Aug, last round Robin game 19th Sept . FINALS 3RD Oct weekend
do we need 3 months  to run off championships ? and risk them not being finished - madness

Straight knock out we wouldn't, but we have the group stages which everyone felt was a great success last year considering the times, the only issues last year were on the likes of the dual clubs, and Rossa missed out I felt the most last year in this regards. their hurlers were feeling the strain of that in the semi final.

Can we change the format? Some people would be on complaining if we did, and some on complaining that we don't. there's pleasing no one these days

It's an eight week programme , tied into the ulster club championship starting around 15th October. Group format was great for most clubs and raised good level of income for county.

We also need to consider dual clubs as well

Lot of games to be played in a three month period if you are serious about progressing in both codes

Unfortunately we didn't have the Delta variant running riot last year.  On the current trajectory, September onwards will be a big mess of positive cases and people isolating with a lot of clubs potentially disrupted.

It was scary how far behind Antrim were, firstly physically, secondly tactically. Donegal well drilled, Antrim not drilled at all. Worrying. I read the Antrim manager saying they had done s and c work. Having a laugh and without being cruel Antrim have taken a big step back in the quality of minor managements in last couple years and it shows.

Its just a bit of debate and genuine comment.  No need to be patronising.

That minor result tonight should lead to a lot of hard questions. Our minor lads as a whole are certainly not 26 points behind Donegal. Something is badly wrong there.

Most of your posts in fairness are sly digs at people in Gaelfast or county committees.  ;)

That's an embarrassment to the county. 26 points defeat in an under 17 game. Shocking stuff. What is going on at juvenile level, anything?? This cannot just be brushed under the nearest carpet. Shocking!

imtommygunn

The u20s wasn't good either tbh.

It's the same in the hurling. We can't expect to get well beaten year on year and then suddenly be competitive with the same players

What's going to happen though ITG. Raging at this, totally shocked beyond words. This needs to be the catalyst for something better or we are looking at another 50 years of underperformance.  Here we go again.....
