All-Ireland QFs: Armagh/Roscommon, Dublin/Galway, Donegal/Louth, Kerry/Derry

[JoG2]

Well, from a Galway pov in the blink of an eye they had a 33% chance meeting the Dubs change to a 50% chance. I'd no idea the draw was going to happen like that, was it known? Meet anyone other the Dublin they've a better chance of winning, get a few of the big guns back fit for a potential semi....

They always had a 50% chance of drawing Dublin because Dublin could only get Galway or Derry.
Galway could draw 3 teams but there wasn't an equal 33% chance of getting those teams.

Well in that case.....

Does it matter that much?
Realistically, Dublin or Kerry will win the AI. Unless the final goes to Penalties....then it's ours for the taking 

Sounds like people getting annoyed about when they're going to get beat 

From a Derry pov, I didn't really care who we got. Same as last few years, if you want to win an AI you have to beat the best teams at some time. Meet Dublin in a QF, they might not have peaked yet and give you a better chance. Meet them in an AIF, you're less likely to beat them.
It would have been nice to get Donegal again, as I think it would give the game another dimension with Derry trying to right a perceived wrong, but Kerry it is and we'll have to improve again if we are to get anywhere close to them.

For what it's worth, my predictions:

Dublin v Galway - Dublin by 4 (but if Comer and Walsh are fit nothing would surprise me)
Armagh v Roscommon - Draw + Penalties AET. Roscommon to win 3-1 on penos. 
Donegal v Louth - Donegal AET
Kerry v Derry - Derry to click and win by 6

Good man Brick id take a one or two points victory, but no, 6 it is 🤓🤓

[JoG2]

Lock her in men! Tbrick knows his onions

Whats the story with tickets.  Only average tickets on general release from the very start.  Even shittier now.  Will Ticketmaster then release the good sections once they've got rid of the bad ones?

Upper might not be a bad plan on Saturday, as rain is forecast at present.

Is there a lift up  to the upper tier in Croke Park? I never looked before

Don't think so. Is a long climb goes round and round. Is a lift to the Premier Section and Corporates.

There's a lift to premium level and pretty sure it goes on up. For elderly/people with buggies etc.

Really looking forward to Kerry Vs. Derry. Highlight of the round on paper.

Depends which Derry turn up and whether or not Clifford does.

Huge ask for Derry to lift it with the turnaround and after et the other day but the extra days rest helps with that slightly. Could be an absolute cracker.

Dublin Galway has potential to be the same but depends on Galways injury list.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Derry moving in the right direction,  so I'm hopeful for a cracker.

I think Dublin will have too much for Galway.

Who goes on Clifford? I expect Chrissy to pick up O'Shea, and McCloskey to go to 6 on P Clifford. Does that leave McAvoy or Baker on D Clifford? With Glass or McKinless sweeping in front.
