The majority of team's are not able to compete at Provincial, let alone All-Ireland level. I believe such proposals will only make the strong even more dominant as players from weaker counties are less like to prepare like elite athletes knowing they're probably going to play 2/3 during the season.

Finally we agree on something. Two division 3 teams won provincial titles today. Either Meath or Kildare would be equal or better than either.

Yeah that's a good idea KB, especially the one about Dublin having to do a tour of 6 other counties, id leave Leinster teams out of it and maybe have them tour the other provinces and play the 2 strongest teams from those provinces, in Ulster maybe it could be Donegal and Tyrone, in Connacht maybe Galway and Mayo and in Munster of course it would have to be Cork and Tipperary.

Kildare beat Cavan out the gate in Newbridge a month ago. I dont think there is much of a gap between Leinster and Ulster, we are both well stocked with mediocrity.

Even if they where benefitting in ways you are not. Lets be clear your county squandered millions on a "centre of excellence" which has not in the slightest advanced the standards of your county. If extra money was ever to be made available to Kikdare it would have to over seen because you have an a atrocious record with other peoples money.

Totally agree, said in another post , send Dubs to Ulster and send Antrim and Fermanagh to Leinster.

Yeh but we dont get to play every championship game there or most of them. The COE contributed to us winning the Christy Ring cup today no doubt. Its also contributed to achievements of teams in other age groups too.

I said it before: Keep the 4 provinces or you will destroy what is good about the GAA: The joy to win the province is beyond great. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1042 - 22/11/2020 21:39:11 2313494 Link 3 |
Spot on - fully agree. Shocks or surprises do happen and everyone loves the underdog winning. Knockout competition is the way to go for sure. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3309 - 22/11/2020 21:42:57 2313497 Link 0 |
For the common good of Leinster Football Htaem. We'll be at eachothers throats again soon. Play the provinces instead of the league. Then the Leinster Championship can be consigned to the waste of time it is but will give Connaught, Ulster and Munster their day. Then open, knockout draw for all ireland. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 3772 - 22/11/2020 21:43:41 2313498 Link 0 |
After this year the Provincials have to stay, lot to be said for knockout football too, but that won't work either so we will have to figure something out, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 1076 - 22/11/2020 21:45:29 2313502 Link 1 |
Play them instead of the league. Then treat the All Ireland as a different competition and open the draw. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 3772 - 22/11/2020 21:46:56 2313505 Link 1 |
Deal.

Definitely, keep provincial them open draw . Could be brilliant traveling all over the place..e.g. Dubs in Leitrim or Kerry in Casement.

You cant compare the premiership to the all ireland championship. Not near the same thing. How are they comparable? The big thing thats needed is a change to the whole season structure. but you can still keep provincial competitions with that. Just have them as straight knockout but not directly as part of all ireland. have them stand alone. a league based competition with playoffs at end should be a counties main competition of the year. what other sports have a straight knock out as their primary competition of the year?
