Before there is another debacle what are the rules here; I know it's open draw for pairings but how is home advantage decided; do the beaten provincial finalists get home draw

Maybe Buble would consider playing in Healy park?

Usually the Round 4 games are at a neutral venue, possibly a double header in Croker

Can anyone confirm that for Round 4 of the qualifiers,can there be repeat meetings from earlier?

Its seems Monaghan couldn't meet Tyrone in Round 3,though lat year in Round 4 Down played Monaghan a second time,so what is the story for Mondays draw? ( or will it be left to just make it up and see what happens as per usual

No repeat pairings where possible. Last year Down could only play Armagh or Monaghan in round 4, as they had played both already in Ulster there had to be a repeat pairing. Fermanagh won't be playing Armagh or Monaghan this year in round 4 as there will be other possible opponents.

Thanks Soma
Was that with the A/B that meant they could only meet Armagh or Monaghan last year?

Avoiding repeat meets is a great rule!

Round 4 - Neutral Venues

Cork v (Tyr/Mon/Arm/Kil)
Laois v (Tyr/Mon/Arm/Kil)

One double header - Semple?

Fermanagh v (Tyrone/Kildare)
Roscommon v (Tyr/Mon/Arm/Kil)

One double header - Clones (if no Monaghan?)

Cant believe Michael Buble is booked in for Croker week before the Super 8s - premier competition of the GAA - pitch destroyed as usual from a concert because the GAA HQ are literally THAT greedy

Would love a repeat meet in Round 4! Not to be!

Be interesting to see how the GAA manage the venues for this.

It's already down for neutral venues. Kildare v Ros/Laois in Tullamore possibly? Kildare v Cork in Semple or Kildare v Fermanagh in Navan?

Don't be surprised to see any of those pairings fixed for Croke Park. Most likely double header.

I'd love to see Fermanagh and Kildare in the super 8's, looking forward to the draw.

Croke Park is unavailable for that weekend.

Yeah very true. Although putting Cork and Kildare in Croke Park does sound especially stupid. Semple held that game comfortably a couple of years ago and can't see much of a Cork crowd travelling to Croke Park. Double headers of some kind in Croker does seem likely.

Wasn't sure when Mick Bubbles was there. No Croker that week so.
