Ah sure it's a fair system well done Kerry. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 23/07/2016 18:39:40 1888610 Link
Both Clare and Tipp have done better than any team the Dubs have played so far this year. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 23/07/2016 18:42:26 1888613 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Ah sure it's a fair system well done Kerry." With the Munster championship being so strong is it time the winner was given automatic passage to the All-Ireland semi:) Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 23/07/2016 18:44:53 1888616 Link
In fairness you can't blame Kerry but it is funny that even with the qualifiers that Kerry could be in an all-Ireland semi final by beating just tipp and clare,just shows Munster football is alot stronger than all the other provinces going by results this year cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 779 - 23/07/2016 18:45:33 1888617 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Ah sure it's a fair system well done Kerry." Ye'l have a handy semifinal which ever 1 of us ye'l be playing. So congrats to Dublin on doing back to back finals. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 23/07/2016 18:46:06 1888618 Link
How many All Ireland Quarter Finalists have Dublin played so far? KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 23/07/2016 18:46:25 1888619 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Ah sure it's a fair system well done Kerry." Dont think it'll do them much good this year. theduke66 (Dublin) - Posts: 334 - 23/07/2016 18:52:39 1888625 Link
Clare in dv2 and now in the last 8.. What underage success have they had?... ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 23/07/2016 18:57:36 1888628 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Ah sure it's a fair system well done Kerry." Dublin play in the weakest provincial championship so they can time their run to August and September nicely. Thanks for giving Clare the respect they deserve for a great season so far. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 23/07/2016 19:02:02 1888630 Link
I'm not having a go at Kerry Clare or Tipp I'm laughing at how ridiculous the system is. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 23/07/2016 19:03:11 1888633 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "I'm not having a go at Kerry Clare or Tipp I'm laughing at how ridiculous the system is." Why don't you set up a thread for the unfair system then instead of using this thread about a major breakthrough for Clare and Tipp football who have both have to deal with hurling focused county boards. It's really rich coming for a Dublin poster when you consider the resources and sponsorship that Dublin get and you get to play also every championship game in croke park in front of a partisan crowd. Try playing in a Munster football championship where cork and Kerry have been seeded for decades. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 23/07/2016 19:07:57 1888639 Link
Yeah it's unfair we have had to face 2 Quarter Finalists while the 'Big 3' have beaten a total of 0, which will only rise to 1 if Donegal beat Cork which I don't think they will. I just hope we haven't spent too much energy and effort in our Munster games, particularly the older lads. KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 23/07/2016 19:08:01 1888640 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "I'm not having a go at Kerry Clare or Tipp I'm laughing at how ridiculous the system is." More like throwing the toys out of the pram. Dublin hold all the aces in terms of advantages over other teams. Jimin10 (Meath) - Posts: 783 - 23/07/2016 19:10:14 1888645 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "I'm not having a go at Kerry Clare or Tipp I'm laughing at how ridiculous the system is." And Dublin beating Laois / Meath / westmeath is any better? Ask the Kerry players they want games not 4 week lay offs. As for Clare they are full deserving of their place in the last 8. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 23/07/2016 19:11:21 1888648 Link
Sure the dubs have only played Laois (relegated from div 2), Meath (could have been relegated from div 2) & Westmeath (relegated from div 3). Not really great preparation either! David (Meath) - Posts: 567 - 23/07/2016 19:13:05 1888650 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "Clare in dv2 and now in the last 8.. What underage success have they had?..." They've had really good minor teams that ran Tipp, cork and Kerry close but couldn't get the big win. They had us beaten in Thurles last year and we pulled through with a late finish to win by a point. We went on to play Kerry in the Munster and all-Ireland finals so last year's Clare minor team was one of the best in the Country. The Munster minor football championship is of really high standard.

Two good games. Great to see attacking football back en vogue! keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 23/07/2016 19:36:14 1888681 Link
And I should have added, well deserved by both Clare and Tipperary. Great performances and results. David (Meath) - Posts: 567 - 23/07/2016 19:51:54 1888708 Link
