"Before the moaning starts about Dublin playing their QF in Croke Park. That decision will be made by a vote of the Leinster Council. Each county has 2 votes. This isn't a dark conspiracy. So why don't all you whiners from Leinster, go to your club AGM and propose that a motion that your county votes for the game to played away from Croke Park? Or is it just too much fun giving out? "

Fair point but they are considering moving it already. Id like to see the finals switch about. lenister in clones one year, ulster in munster etc etc etc. Stadiums are big enough and would ensure complete neutrality and a day out somewhere different

Good idea DCFC, can we start by having the Ulster final in Killarney for 3 years and if that's a success roll the idea out across the country. Maybe extend it to county finals by playing the Derry final in Watford?

I love taking a spiteful comment with no positive outlook like this one and ripping it to shreads with precedent, facts, common knowledge and ease

Indeed DCFC, you sure showed me! I wish i was too young to remember but i presume you know why that happened back then? And that travel arrangements from Ulster to Dublin are quite different to those from Ulster to Killarney? Am I right in thinking you had problems with this year's ulster semi-final being played in Clones rather than Omagh due to travel and cost issues, I know it was certainly a problem for many of your fellow county men.

Ulster is fine. Keep it the way it is and forget what others are doing. We have the best championship so why change it?

Derry/tyrone Derry play well in Healy

Ok then, given that you have such a superior grasp of "precedent, facts, common knowledge" can you tell us how Derry playing well in Healy Park will affect the outcome of next years championship match in Celtic Park?

Hutto & yourjoking, it's 12 years since Down got a home draw. They drew Cavan at home in 2004 but the match was played in Casement while Páirc Esler was being redeveloped. They last played the first round of the Championship in Down in 1999. I think the probability of being drawn away 12 years running was 1 in 4,095. It's pretty irritating...

Peter agree its unbeliveable we haven't had a home draw in all the years the quicker the new format comes out the better so newry can host some games.

Did see the draw live. Im over at the world cup. My mate from plumbridge text me the fixtures and he had tyrone/derry not derry/tyrone


In that case tyrone should be fine

"Same rigged draw for the same predictable competition on the same biased TV channel. Amateur indeed."

I love this! How can a live draw be rigged?

Predictable? 1 fixture of 2015 is the same as 2016 in ulster, we even have the 2 finalists on the same side!!!. If you predicted that please give me the lotto numbers!

Biased TV channel? maybe so but here are 2 choices......go to the games of dont listen to the half time dribble and make your self a cup of tea instead
