The daft system has thrown up ridiculous lopsided groups again, with Connacht and Ulster finalists merged into the same groups, and Kerry getting the usual 'get out of jail free card'. The Healy Raes must have pulled the balls for that draw. Are they still operating the see through bowls? Terrible draw for Ulster and Connacht,

You totally bottled the final last year no exsuces you bottled it . Worse than us in 21 even .
Armagh we're far better and fully deserved their win agree with the donegal poster it's arrogance from you as usual. Donegal will win it this year" How did we bottle it if we lost to the far better team Clare.
Take it easy all this posting under multiple profiles cant be good for your mental health

Interesting article in today's Leitrim observer by John Connolly about the above in Leitrim ,particularly in relation to the Leitrim Senior men's team.
He has a fair point when he says the Poacher bashers on social media have had a bad run the last few weeks, with Leitrim unexpected performance against Mayo .Add in U20 and minor successes and my God there is a danger of light appearing!!!!
As he points out failure to push on in the Tailteann Cup will have the gloom merchants in full flight again.
I" In fairness being the fourth best team in Connacht at minor and under 20 cannot be deemed success surely?

Meanwhile best of luck to u20s tonight.
A squad of whom not that much was expected and hopefully they will confound expectations and the bookies 7 to 1.

Decent draw, home to Antrim, away to London and neutral venue vs Limerick, probably likely to be Portlaoise?
Should be topping the group really,
Hopefully we take it as seriously as last time, winning it out is the easiest ticket into Sam.

Replying To letsgetgoing: "Thought it might be a good idea to have the various opinions on the draw for the group stages on one thread?" Does anyone really care…. 24 matches to eliminate the 4 teams that will more than likely get knocked out before a ball is thrown in… A complete waste of time

Fact is 3 out of the 4 teams go through so you can't have any excuse. If you can't win ONE game in your group you've no business progressing. Yes some teams have easier groups as usual but that's the luck of the draw.

I" Delusion v Reality
There are those amongst us, who, if they were turkeys, would vote for Christmas. They'd convince themselves that it'd be a good idea. Kind of like the Brexiteers or MAGA supporters.
Blind loyalty can often lead to defending the indefensible. People take a stance and are embarrassed to admit they were wrong. Very often they double down and become even more zealous.
Your loyalty is commendable but deluded. The first step on the road to recovery is to admit you've a problem and by you i obviously mean Leitrim football. A couple of moral victories does not make a summer.

Has Other Sports Stole A March On Gaa In Relation To PR Work - 2 Like(s)
Replying To ThePowerhouse: "It fascinates me how the anti rugby crowd purport to hate it but they still claim to know an awful lot about it! In your case, a curious fascination with attendances. Whatever takes your fancy.
Do you honestly think that Irish rugby care one iota about the attendance at a leinster u20 final or a Gaa club match or a Gaa school match or any Gaa match at any level? They couldn't care less! They'll just get on with developing their game and I can assure you that their attitude towards other sports is the best of luck to them.
Stop worrying about other sports and focus on improving Gaelic games. Park your prejudices and stereotypes. I guarantee if you went down to Tullow or Carlow rugby clubs they'd welcome you with open arms. You'd also find plenty of people there who play, support and love the GAA." I have to agree with you.My lads gave up rugby two years ago and rugby club still send texts saying they would love to see them back at any stage.They always and ever wish the best of luck to GAA lads when they are in finals and vice versa.

Incredible heart from the twenties tonight but yet again Tyrone win the tight tussle against us like they always do. Never being so frustrated watching a game as Donegal couldn't get a break. Numerous times the Donegal lads got a hand in or looked like making an interception the ball would always end up in Tyrone hands. Compounded by the goal which is a point effort comes off the post and where does it land? I had that feeling from early on when McMenamin made a great fetch only to land awkwardly and go off injured. He was a massive loss around the middle where Tyrone laid down the foundation of their game plan to starve Donegal of the ball and take very little risks. We seen what happened in extra time when the game got a little wild with Donegal dominating after throwing off the shackles. Tyrone sealed it in extra time with the hot patch punishing poor kickouts with clinical finishes. The two cheap frees were very costly between gaining possession from the kick out to getting punished for the 3 man back rule. This followed the one brought in for Roarty apparently touching the ball on the ground which looked highly contentious. Unfortunately our composure let us down for large periods and Tyrone killed us on the kickouts. Really disappointed but many of the team are underage next year. Plus there are a few lads destined to be top senior players.

Tbf the chap pretending to be from Donegal is not Clare as there's clear differences in grammar
Id imagine he/she is from Armagh as every post is about the same subject
Quite how a poster is allowed to spend 27 consecutive posts trolling another county's thread is another story

No species has ever left such a destructive footprint on the planet before." No doubt, however, progressive leftists have a huge carbon footprint, they talk about climate change while jetting around the planet. Conservatives are not interested in the topic. Looks ominous.

Replying To legendzxix: "They could retain the group format with only 2 going through and Round 1 winners playing each other in Round 2. Provincial finalists could be given the carrot of 2 home games.
On the draw itself, Dublin in Killarney would have been an interesting draw. Pity it didn't materialise. Kerry and Dublin played in Thurles in 2001. Dublin declined the offer to toss a coin for home advantage!!" Draw is a joke.Kerry avoid all big hitters and get to practice with new rules.You could not make this rubbish up.

Ridiculous draw. Makes a farce of it really. Four div1 sides in the same group, one div1 side in other groups. It's high time they drew these draws from NFL seedings.
