Munster achieved 67% representation in the league top 16. The highest percentage of any province.
Munster has now brought this 67% representation to the Final 12.
Munster's 67% representation is without Tipperary. A Tipperary that have won an All-Ireland minor title, that have won a Munster títle and that have twice qualified for the All-Ireland semi-finals.
Munster is some province for one province!

If all the Munster counties are so good, why do they lie down and surrender against Kerry?

Cork and Clare are only still going because of a handy draw against equally bad Leinster teams.

The reality is there should be three tiers in Football

Clare, Cork, Louth, Meath and Limerick haven't a hope in hell of getting to an all ireland semi or winning a provincial title any time in the next 5 years

Cavan, Westmeath and Offaly and 1 or two more could join them and have a very good tier 2 championship

I get that this is a thinly-veiled attempt to make kerry's Munster victories look in some way impressive, but it doesn't mean much really.

Getting the Munster counties through the play offs first round only happened because in an open draw they got the easiest possible draws. If cork/Clare had drawn Armagh/Tyrone the outcome would have been different.
Football in Leinster is dead in 10/12 counties. Killed by the GAA. While they invested in dublin to combat the rise of rugby they didn't notice the marketing job being done around the "12 county army". I'm no rugby fan but even in my own club I see lads being turned to that sport now once they reach minor. Inter county football is no longer the draw it once was, thanks to Sean Kelly/Bertie/horan and their accomplices.

Cork v Limerick
Clare v Roscommon
Kildare v Mayo
Donegal v Armagh

Two things on that.

You say the quarter finals were as matched as they could be and relatively local teams drew each other.

Cork can make a quarter final only beating teams that played in div 3.

The second draw in a row has paired 2022 Division 1 teams. Mayo favourites for sure. Donegal and Armagh is a difficult one to call.
It's a great draw for Limerick, after already having beaten Clare on penalties and Tipperary.
Roscommon and Clare is a fair tussle. Roscommon rightly favourites but an opportunity there for Clare to make the quarter-finals if they can summon a big performance.

Oh, poor little Meath, and big bad Dublin. Sob, sob, cry , cry!

About time Meath manned up and got on with things, instead of whinging and clinging to any excuse you can at all muster up.

Self-pity is a loathsome emotion.

Armagh, Cork, Roscommon and Mayo to advance. Armagh have the momentum and confidence to overturn Donegal. Cork despite injury list, and loss of Meehan etc, should be too good for Limerick. Roscommon and Mayo are a match for any of the remaining teams!

Best draw Cork and Limerick could have asked for.

Will keep One of them going for another week or two before collecting an allmersival hiding in the q finals (unless they get Derry - who will keep it low scoring)

The way the draw is going for Armagh and Mayo - they will be getting Kerry and Dublin if they get through

All Ireland Quarter Final Draw
Kerry v Mayo
Dublin v Roscommon
Galway v Cork
Derry v Armagh

Semi Finals

Is an allmersival hiding the same as an all merciful hiding? Between "loosing " , "calving" which are terms various hoganstand posters presumably replace " losing " and "caving" . Some Limerick poster quipped that "calving" is the Limerick agricultural term for "caving" . I propose that the Hoganstand dictionary should replace the Oxford variety, to accommodate these specimens. In any case, the GAA will roll on, we are lucky that these fine amateur sportsmen grace our games, and hopefully we won't get an allmersival hiding in the QF's if we overcome Limerick!

Better be prepared for the "allmersival " hiding in store for us. I hope if we do "loose", at least we don't "calve". Any team that makes a habit of "calving " whilst "loosing " , deserves an "allmersival " hiding!

Can't believe you dismiss Limerick so readily, drawing the ire of the many Shannonsider posters on here. Still, it is what it is, Hoganstand forum is a site for comic relief, and should be viewed as such!

Maybe something got lost in translation but I'm not sure where in my post I blamed anything on dublin. This issue was caused by the GAA. Of course apologists like yourself will refuse to see that until it's too late.

Cork played Limerick in a qualifier in 2010. Cork won after extra time 1-11 to 0-16, and then went on to win Sam Maguire.
