Armagh v Galway -  Roscommon

armagh should push for an ulster venue given it was in connaught the last two times
potlaois or mullingar also alternative venues

When will the remaining group game fixtures be confirmed? I see it's only this weekends so far.

They are a fecking shambles trying to sort fixtures. No real reason that all three group games for all teams can't have dates/times/venues announced. Give people a fecking chance to arrange things. And then they'll be crying about crowds. The GAA really don't help themselves when it comes to any kind of advanced planning. It seems to be a case of take it week at a time and sure it'll be grand!!!

The same thing happened last year didn't it? All this should have been sorted yesterday morning.

Happens every year. It's laughable the way they organise these fixtures. The only one that should take a bit of planning is Round 3 at neutral venues, but even that isn't rocket science. They are quicker to announce concerts and American football games in Croke Park.

So true re concerts etc
It's actually shocking that supporters can't plan as they don't  know when nor where  gaa games are being held
yet we know an american football game is taking place on 28 September

Same time for each group game is the plan however can change.  For example last year Derry v Westmeath was decider to see finished 3rd and it was played Saturday evening.  Armagh v Galway a decider for 1st played Sunday.

How come they can't confirm all fixtures. It's not rocket science.

Louth and Monaghan are fighting over venue. This game might get a crowd, owing to recent Louth success. It is home game for Louth, but they do no want to play in Iniskeen, which they have been using. Louth wanted Croke Park, but that does not seem to be runner. Newry seems likely, as Down are not playing that weekend, while the Athletic grounds and Navan have a game. They could use Crossmaglen of course, it is a bit bigger than Iniskeen and not in Monaghan.

If three teams finish level on points in the group is it the old scoring difference that decides who finishes where or is it like some other group formats  "If three teams finish on the same number of points, results between those three teams, and not scoring difference, will decide the placings"

Down play Louth in Newry the following week. Surely a bad idea to allow Louth a run out in it tge week before.

It seems like an excellent idea for Louth, maybe not so good for Down. So all in all an excellent idea.
