With the Coronavirus outbreak, firstly I wish everyone the best of health untill this is controlled and praying there are as little deaths as possible. It looks like we could have a shortened but old fashioned style championship on our hands. 1) do think that will include the qualifiers as we were introduced to firstly 2) how will this effect your county and your views in general. As for my saffrons unless we shock fermanagh or Monaghan it could be a one in done for the footballers, hurlers assuming there is an Ulster championship then it's an AI QF as per the previous structure SaffronSpud27 (Antrim) - Posts: 4 - 13/03/2020 10:49:52 2273670 Link

That's what I'm hearing from the high ups in the munster council. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/03/2020 13:52:06 2273692 Link

If it goes ahead I assume hurling will do knockout with AI semi between the prov finalists Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 13/03/2020 15:46:19 2273710 Link
Replying To supersub15: "Great news,. - No Back Door." Bottom line is that it won't matter in most provinces but not in Ulster where most teams are on an even par. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2451 - 13/03/2020 18:00:28 2273723 Link
Replying To Breezy: "If it goes ahead I assume hurling will do knockout with AI semi between the prov finalists" Galway have handed in a request to be repatriated to Connacht. See ye in the semis lads. SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 625 - 13/03/2020 18:01:23 2273724 Link
Replying To SamandLiamSoon: "Galway have handed in a request to be repatriated to Connacht. See ye in the semis lads." I'm all for that. Galway or Antrim in the semis means an easy route to the final for Limerick : ) Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 13/03/2020 21:03:22 2273753 Link
Replying To supersub15: "Great news,. - No Back Door." The gaa probably think that half a loaf is better than no bread at this stage. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/03/2020 23:12:29 2273766 Link

It may come to that. The GAA are probable all ready giving thought to what may be required. As much as we criticize them they are pro-active but in this instance it is too soon to know what will be necessary. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3194 - 15/03/2020 17:18:20 2273893 Link
I think we can kiss sport goodbye for this year lads, going to be awful boring but health comes first. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3534 - 15/03/2020 20:00:01 2273911 Link
Would it make a mockery of it if they ran it off over the space of two or three weekends? Provincial first round games in Ulster and Leinster on a Saturday, provincial quarter-finals in all four provinces the next day, provincial semis the next Saturday, finals the next day, All-Ireland semis the next Saturday and the final on the Sunday.

That'll be a serious dent in Kerrys hopes of winning Sam this year! DUBJOHN (Dublin) - Posts: 945 - 18/03/2020 16:40:09 2274046 Link
