Title: Order of football semi finals?
Post by: Coillte_Bhoy on August 25, 2015, 11:42:32 AM
Can anyone explain why the Leinster champions or whoever may have beaten them in the quarters are always in the second AI semi final?

It's because they want the Ulsters to add another chip to the bags of spuds. ;)

Actually it does.

The GAA will hold a slot for Croker in case the Dubs draw their semi-final.

Presumably because Leinster has the most counties in the c'ship (11) it takes the longest to run off, thus always gets put in the 2nd semi.

Just meant the "will be" kind of sounds like you know there's going to be a replay.
