Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "I wasnt and many others wern't. Would have been a lot more giving out if 10,000 couldnt get tickets to be the curtain raiser to Dublin/Kerry."
15,000+ at Minor Hurling Final.
12,000 of those wouldn't have got tickets if with Senior Final.

I know what you're saying but I still think the minor final should be a curtain raiser to the senior All Ireland in both codes…like it was for decades.. I think the reason for changing it was nothing to do with tickets or people not being able to attend was it not because they reckoned that players of that age profile might feel too much pressure on All Ireland Final day in Croke Park…? Surely a huge crowd in a small venue would effect them just as much if not more…!

If there's a good day to miss frees it's when they were playing the likes of Monaghan or Caaaavan.

That is sooooooooooo funny! I'm from Cavan so you made a joke about Cavan. Genius. Not the first time you've made that "joke" either. Better not make anymore playful jibes about Donegal for fear of irritating..... a Tyrone man?

Ciaran Kirk writing in todays Irish Times states that "From 61 provincial and All Ireland championship games so far in 2025, only three would have ended in a different result if there was no two-point arc".
* Louth would have drawn against Kildare.
* Mayo would have beaten Donegal.
* Galway would have beaten Derry rather than a draw.
Interesting and VERY RELEVANT statistics. Personally I think that the two pointer makes the game more exciting, leaves more space inside and gives the team behind and their supporters a little more hope.
