Ulster Champions Disadvantaged Again

Replying To riverboys:  "It would have made more sense to play round 1 and 2 home and away and round 3 in Croke Park, double headers, 2 on Saturday and the remaining 2 on Sunday, therefore you could have the Ulster champs playing Leinster champs at home in round 1 but in reality it doesn't matter where the games are played as long as your county is involved, just look at Tipp and Waterford in hurling both are out and it's only mid June"
They were afraid round 3 of the super 8s would have a lot of dead rubber matches and people wouldn't travel to crokepark for them,.

there is method to their madness.

Who you get in the last 8 coming through the qualifier route is just the luck of the draw so you do have to get on with it. The big issue is if Croke Park is a neutal venue when Dublin are playing?

Yes, the 'neutral' venue round where seven teams set off for Croke Park and Dublin pretend that they are at a neutral venue also. The same venue they are scheduled to play their home game at.

Whats the problem with Dublin having to play elsewhere for their 2nd croke park game. Surely thats the fair way to do it. Clearly its unfair whoever is in their group.

Hopefully it's Kerry so we can all be subjected to more outrage! For a change like!
