Munster fairness! Kerry and Cork receive a bye to the semi-finals as 2019 finalists but can draw each other at that stage. So it transpires, Munster 2020: QF. Waterford v Limerick QF. Clare v Tipperary SF. Waterford/Limerick v Clare/Tipperary SF. Kerry v Cork. Reminder: Kerry won the 2019 Munster Championship without any game in Killarney! PS. The loser of Kerry v Cork will start out in the 2021 Munster Quarter-finals. Fairness all around. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 08/10/2019 08:31:46 2241971 Link

Replying To Aibrean: "So what is your solution??" Let you start by stopping to pretend that there is any real competition to be won. There isn't and rarely has been. Ye are kidding nobody lad. Getting rid of this provincial joke would be a start and the sooner the better than this constant farce . catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 08/10/2019 12:59:19 2242037 Link
Replying To Aibrean: "So what is your solution??" 82 Munster titles coming up!! Calling it a championship or even a competition is farcical. There's as much interest in the big ball in Munster as there is in water polo in the Sahara. Disband the Munster Football Championship and merge it with Connaught. Call it the South West Championship or something. These strolls to facile victories year after year have damaged football irreparably in that region. Kerry won't complain of course as it has always been the easy path to AI gold but for the sake of the sport something has to be done and merging these provinces makes sense.

Kerry won the Munster Championship without a game in Killarney. Former Dublin players say the dogs on the street understand Dublin's Croke Park advantage. Kerry 1/8 games in Killarney. Dublin 7/9 games in Croke Park. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 08/10/2019 17:53:17 2242121 Link

That's it exactly, in every sport in the world home advantage is massive but people on here still try to dispute it or brush it under the carpet. And then if you add to that the population advantages and 18 times more money then the next nearest big county you see what everyone else is up against. Maybe we need a top economist to come on here and explain this, maybe then it'l catch on. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 08/10/2019 18:48:32 2242142 Link
The reality is two many inferior teams and will become more inferior as the money is taking over. Counties wasting their money and players not interested in representing. The big counties can support both. Scrap the useless league and provincial championships. Make two equal groups with the top two going to semi finals. The counties who do not have football or hurling teams allow them to play in inter county club championship. Football: Kerry, Cork, Dublin Meath, Kildare, Galway, Roscommon, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim,Donegal, Longford, Louth, Wicklow, Down, Derry, Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Monaghan, Cavan. Hurling: Dublin,Wexford,Kilkenny, Galway,Tiperary, Waterford, Cork, Clare, Limerick, Antrim. Optional choice: Carlow, Laois, Westhmeath, Offaly, London, New York. I am feeling the knives already.

But of course nothing wrong at Leinster or All Ireland level? As the OP said at least Kerry are drawn away from home in our province. And there's hardly a world of difference in terms of what the likes of the Kerry GAA the Cork GAA, the TIPP and Limerick GAA have in the warchest. But no sure we're the big danger for the future viability of inter county football :D P.S you obviously know nothing about the interest in football in plenty of Munster by your comments. You'd be well to remember that just because a place doesn't have too much of a winning tradition, it doesn't mean it doesn't have A TRADITION.

Kerry win with fair venue equity. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 08/10/2019 19:49:31 2242156 Link

It just means that Waterford/Limerick/Clare/Tipp will get a pasting in the Munster final as opposed to the semi final of the the "competition" that is the Munster Championship.

There will be some battle on both sides. Hopefully cork beat kerry and Clare come through the other side and rattle cork. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 08/10/2019 21:18:23 2242183 Link

Sure but Dublin and Kerry set a high standard in their respective provinces. Kerry do it with both fixture equity and venue equity. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 10/10/2019 11:16:09 2242525 Link
