Can someone explain how the qualifiers work this season? I'm I right in seeing that you play two games in qualifiers to get into the quarterfinals? The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 26/04/2022 19:15:26 2413443 Link
Replying To The_Fridge: "Can someone explain how the qualifiers work this season? I'm I right in seeing that you play two games in qualifiers to get into the quarterfinals?" Yes Fridge that is right. Qualifiers Round 1: The 8 Division 1 and Division 2 teams that don't make their provincial finals. Qualifiers Round 2: The 4 Round 1 Qualifiers winners will play the beaten provincial finalists. There is a possibility that if Tipp reach a Munster Final there will be a preliminary round in the qualifiers. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 784 - 26/04/2022 21:17:51 2413465 Link

So say if Donegal lose to Cavan and Tyrone lose to Derry for example, then we could end up playing our nearest and dearest? The qualifiers will be like shark infested waters!

So, for example, Tyrone have to play Fermanagh, Derry, Monaghan & Donegal to get to quarter final. How is that fair? So Armagh could draw two handy teams and get to a quarter final, with a 6 week break till the first qualifier to sort injuries etc.? While Tyrone could be coming in battered and bruised to their quarter finals Absolutely ridiculous The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 27/04/2022 10:57:53 2413538 Link

Or perhaps not ;-) However if Tipp beat Limerick in Munster SF in a fortnight then Tyrone join Armagh, Mayo, Clare & Louth in the hat to select 2 for the preliminary qualifier in 3 weeks time. Not exactly the repeat of the AIF that Tyrone or Mayo fans were hoping for. timmyhogan (UK) - Posts: 290 - 01/05/2022 19:44:36 2414468 Link
As all county teams are treated with same respect in GAA i presume the qualifiers will be split in a north/south basis when drawn like the tailteann cup is being made to do??? cough cough macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1098 - 13/05/2022 12:14:57 2416843 Link

Should you have included Cork , Limerick , Westmeath (?) and Derry/Monaghan in that hat or are they exempt on the basis that they were beaten more recently . If so , I didnt know that...sounds a bit unfair. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 840 - 13/05/2022 16:19:08 2416904 Link

It may go under the radar but there is a massive game to today in Munster. A Tipp win over Limerick and there is a preliminary match. Two of Mayo, Tyrone, Armagh, Clare and Louth will be drawn to play. It's possible Mayo or Tyrone will be the first county finished playing this year with the div 3 and 4 teams in the Tailteann. skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 248 - 14/05/2022 10:31:21 2416954 Link

Fearmenagh deserve another go at any senior team on this island after their effort against TirEoin, not pinned against they're so called weaker northern (?)neighbours GaelicLion (Tyrone) - Posts: 12 - 14/05/2022 12:21:32 2416989 Link
Qualifier draw next Monday? Who knows. In other news - what's the story with the new Penalty/Black card for cynically denying a goal scoring opportunity? The one that Joe screwed up twice in the Donegal Tyrone game last year. Congress voted this January to retain it for a further 2 years but the refs and pundits seem to be unaware of its continued existence. Yesterday there was a stone cold new Black card/Penalty for a foul on the edge of the area but Gough just gave a free in. The foul was just outside the square but might have been given as an old black card in any case and no mention of the potential Penalty/new Black card. It was a Derry attack just before half time. It's like everyone has forgotten about it. timmyhogan (UK) - Posts: 290 - 16/05/2022 13:48:06 2417703 Link
1.2 Mayo 1.3 Armagh 1.5 Tyrone 1.6 Monaghan 2.4 Meath 2.5 Clare 2.6 Cork 3.1 Louth Saturday 4 June All-Ireland SFC round 1 Open draw involving: Mayo, Armagh, Monaghan, Tyrone, Cork, Clare, Louth, Meath. It'll be some match if any of the Division 1 teams are paired against each other next Monday morning. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 18/05/2022 14:21:40 2418413 Link

Mayo and Tyrone will sail through the Qualifiers so long as they don't draw each other in round 1. There is teams as good if not better in the Tailteann Cup than Cork, Meath and Louth.

Great planning by GAA having round one on such a busy sporting weekend with 4 provincial final also,its bound to get so much coverage!! Be interesting to see the prices of tailteann cup games saying as Mr Carthy so concerned about cost of supporters with North South Divide in Tailteann Cup macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1098 - 18/05/2022 20:33:35 2418540 Link
Maybe, but then they know what they have to do, Cavan included. That is, take the league seriously and get yourself as high up as possible. That's what Louth did and won Division 3. Cork and Meath, bad and all as they were, survived in Division 2. The likes of them though could be in trouble in future years when the number of teams in the Sam Maguire is capped at 16. So finishing near the bottom of Division 2 might be a dangerous place to be with the previous year's Tailteann Cup winner getting an automatic place as well as any Division 3 or 4 provincial finalists. There might well be more of them getting to a final if the top 7 league teams take the provincials less seriously as they are the only ones guaranteed qualification for Sam.

The All Ireland SFC qualifiers should be renamed the partition cup now, seeing as 'weaker' teams have been patted on the head and shunted off into their own little competition and sure isn't it grand for them, they don't need to be getting a second chance to compete for the Sam Maguire and sure they wouldn't win it anyway. Except when you look at the teams in the partition qualifiers how many would would have a hope of an All ireland out of that? Two maybe? It is a complete farce. weatherfieldgael (UK) - Posts: 60 - 19/05/2022 09:53:23 2418587 Link

I was in Cusack Park in Ennis for Clare v Kerry in 2019 Munster Championship. The Champions League final between two English clubs was irrelevant. The McDonagh Cup games have been €10 entrance fee. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 19/05/2022 09:54:58 2418588 Link

If you think that the champions league final won't affect numbers at the games you are deluded. Of course it will. You can speak for yourself when you say you were at some game in 2019 and the champions league was irrelevant to you, but not everybody has that opinion and some people will want to watch the final and yes it will affect numbers attending howdareu (USA) - Posts: 220 - 19/05/2022 12:33:09 2418659 Link
