The issue with the Tailteann is , as predicted , coverage and publicity .

Could the gaa not trial playing this competition on a Friday night and see what crowds it attracts plus get TG4 to cover it ?

Surely it's worth a try because I have the distinct feeling it's dying on its arse .

Clubber or a similar streaming service should have rights to all games in this competition similar to what they have for the Joe McDonagh Cup.

We made Kildare look like Jim Gavin Dubs on Sat.

Awful performance from us.

No future in this competition for us in the forseeable.

[Rossfan]

Ye'll have to do a Kilkenny at this rate Sham.
A Longford acquaintance reckons he should be the manager because
"I could get them relegated to D3 and hammered by Kildare and wouldn't charge them for it".

I went to the antrim game yesterday which wasn't bad. It wasn't massively well attended but there was hurling the day before and a lot of underage games on between county and feile which likely took away from it (and we typically aren't the best supported anyway).

All that aside it was entertaining enough and Tipp had a few boys who'd have been among their better players a few years ago playing so good to get a win. You would suspect they are sore from losing to waterford too so maybe are trying to restore some pride. Most games went near enough as expected I think.

When the Tailteann Cup was first brought in many journalist and pundits said it would stop one sided games? of course that proved to be nonsense as will always be one sided games.  Meanwhile Munster and Leinster finals were meant to be whitewash wins for Kerry,Dublin so credit to Louth and Clare for giving a good account of themselves.

Even within the counties it's kinda gone quiet here...

I think Kildare will beat Waterford by 10 plus and then Leitrim will make it a bit tighter. It could still come off the rails if a team really bottles up, but the fact that we might have thrown off the self-imposed shackles and fear could mean that they are in a better place by then.

How is everyone else looking?

They make you work to find them!!

CS I'm an antrim man. We'd a good win against Tipp though they did give us a few problems which was worrying. I think Sligo might be too much for us so Wexford a big game for us. It is 2 go through and not 3 right?? (3 going through in a 4 team group like the sam maguire is ridiculous).

Only two in one group as doesn't New York take the place of the worst 3rd placed team?

As seen with the Super 8s two into the knock out stages means more dead rubber round 3 group games.

[imtommygunn]

Ah yes  you're right.

Daniel Flynn, Jack Seargeant, Mick O'Grady on the bench after the last day. So, we seem to be switching it up. Kevin Flynn is back and he is better than Seargeant anyways.

Obly real big call is keeper as the other lad has been a starter non-stop for years, even though many feel he is not reliable.

redevelopment of St Conleth's Park is coming on well.
