It's strange to have leaves bursting out knowing that by the time the conkers appear the finals will be very old news.

I assume it has, and if so, why is it that the senior male footballers are the only ones with continued success?
I know the ladies did well, and maybe that has turned them around as before that period they only won one.
But with regards to hurling and Camogie Dublin's last win was in 1984 and they were a brilliant team back in the 60's, but nada since and the senior hurlers haven't been to a final since 61
Are Dublin just producing better footballers as the money isn't making a difference in hurling

Some teams might now be thinking a loss wouldn't be the end of the world, so it takes the edge off things.
I'm pretty sure both Donegal and Armagh will want to avoid the group with the winners of Mayo/Galway and Derry!
Mayo and Galway are certainly in a tough position. The loser will get Dublin, Ros and Cavan; the winner the aforementioned group with Derry, Donegal/Armagh and Westmeath.
Armagh beat Galway and Westmeath last year and drew with Derry. That would do again.
In any case, teams can reach the preliminary QFs by kicking the weakest team and then you see who you get there, although the sequence of games can banjax you with injuries etc.
Quote from: omagh_gael on April 30, 2024, 03:33:39 PMIs there an argument to say the loser of Mayo/Galway would be at an advantage in the group stages?
Quote from: Saffrongael on April 30, 2024, 11:01:23 AMAntrim need to build on this. Laois never built on the buzz they had with Eddie Brennan. The GAA should have a fund for this sort of situation.Quote from: NAG1 on April 30, 2024, 10:46:03 AMIf DG gets a positive outcome for the season he will be gone.
As to where he goes or who would take him that's an entirely different conversation.
Yep if he gets anything decent in the south he will be away, otherwise he may hang about as €70k a year or whatever it is would be hard enough to walk away from.

Most importantly, pretend they care about ireland, citizens, women etc - when they dont.The far right leader tells lies to people he knows are stupid.
Most of them would be low down the IQ level and easily manipulated by a few semi intelligent but evil people.
I thought that tactic is standard across the world. People buy into that every time come elections
Quote from: imtommygunn on April 29, 2024, 06:51:13 PMThe comparison would be Dublin not Derry...Agree re Dublin. What McGuinness did was completely nullify Derry's tactics. Beating Limerick will require something special that is similar.
Cork will need to beat limerick now which if limerick have qualified is I suppose a possibility.
Quote from: johnnycool on April 23, 2024, 12:11:22 PMThe details are different but the contempt for ordinary decent people is not. . The North has an extra layer of political violence of course but the core dynamic is the same imo.Quote from: seafoid on April 23, 2024, 12:03:51 PMThis story is really like the one about the Stardust
Certainly a tragedy with an attempted coverup, but collusion in the North went much further than that.
British State forces actively provided Loyalists with the intel, support and equipment to carry these murders out and then did everything to prevent a proper investigation then and indeed ever since.
Quote from: johnnycool on April 29, 2024, 03:22:54 PMLimerick did to Tipp what they did to Galway and Kilkenny in the endgames last year. Turned on the afterburners before and after half time. https://youtu.be/sSR4MgieVb0&t=720s.Quote from: seafoid on April 29, 2024, 02:56:21 PMThe 2 provinces are unbalanced. There is too much competition in Munster and not enough in Leinster. Antrim beating Wexford is huge but it won't fix the problem.
To an extent.
Before both campaigns kicked off you'd have put good money on a KK v Galway final in Leinster and Limerick and Clare contesting the Munster final.
After two rounds in both I think the bet would still be very safe.
The battle for third is really the only thing on offer in both provinces with Waterford and Antrim throwing a bit of a spanner in the works.
