I'm sure the other provinces can schedule their provincial championships to finish earlier if they want to, and/or seed them. It's up to them.

12 teams left three from Connnacht and Ulster,two fro Leinster and guess what four feom the weak province which favours Kerry. To give the total lie to this theory Cork have 37 Munster football titles and seven All Irelands.Why pray does it favour Kerry but not Cork. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1459 - 19/07/2016 09:22:16 1886026 Link 1 |
What happens if Clare beat Roscommon and if Derry beat Tipperary? centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 105 - 19/07/2016 21:30:58 1886672 Link 0 |
That rule only apply to teams who have met in a provincial final.

Because it suits the narrative that Kerry only win the soft all Ireland's but the rest win the epic ones.

No the rule is the quarter final can not be a repeat of a provincial final and where possible repeat pairings are also to be avoided. So if both Tipperary and Clare win Kerry play Clare, but if Derry and Clare win then Kerry play Derry.

Kerry have been consistently better than Cork. Everyone knows that. Cork maybe would have gotten less than 7 has they played in Leinster all those years. I don't really see what point your trying to make. Even Dara O'Se admits that Kerry get a handier route to the All Ireland each year. You've still been the best historically but that doesn't mean that you don't have it handier now that the likes of Donegal and Tyrone.

Just wondering what if either game is a draw on the 30th? Quarter finals are lined up to be double header on the 6th, is it just pushed back a week and hold the replay instead? JimmyCarr (Donegal) - Posts: 27 - 22/07/2016 08:44:11 1888004 Link 0 |
