    How did they decide which teams were on each side of the draw in Ulster?

    They don't. They do prelim, then who the prelim winners face and the rest of the QFs.

    Completely open draw.

    Hopefully the Dublin v Wexford/Carlow game will be out of Croker again.

    Fingers crossed for Meath in the final,so we can bring more misery too them.

    COYBIB.

    Going by the Leinster council's logic, they'll probably play it in Mullingar

    All teams in one bowl. First two out are in the preliminary round, next team plays the winner in the 4th quarter final, then they draw out the rest of the quarter finals from the 1st to 3rd.

    It's not misery at this stage. It's expected.

    Yep. Can't ever bate Meath often enough in Leinster finals. There'll be a better atmosphere, than the least two finals. No disrespect to WM, but the the history, just isn't there with them.

    Is the semi-final football cycle Leinster/Connacht this year?

    Hopefully will be played in Wexford Park


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    Dublin v Wex/Car in Portlaoise just to wind up Laois even more.

    Munster v Connacht for 2017.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    So my own county only have to beat Carlow and Offaly/Westmeath to get to a Leinster final. Handy :P

    This has the potential to be a serious massacre if things go against Wexford/Carlow on the day.


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    Could actually be argued Nowlan Park would be the best venue if neutral.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,571 ✭✭✭0byme75341jo28


    Have to fancy Cork for the football after that draw.

    Dark horses.

    New PUC will be open for the final, no earlier. Thats what the plan was anyway.

    On topic, highly doubt we'll win vs. Tipp tbh.

    On PUC it would be interesting to ask Frank and the lads what sort of shape the schedule is at the moment. I reckon there's a serious chance it won't be open until 2018.

    I'm talking about good competitive matches though.


    Connacht has been quite entertaining over the last 10 years.

    A good year for Cork will be getting out of Division 2 and not being knocked out of the championship by a team who aren't a realistic All-Ireland contender.

    Offaly v Westmeath should be a good match in Leinster, generally the games are close and it's a big rivalry game.Should be on TV if they have any sense.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭D9Male


    When are the dates announced?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭thesultan


    There is no point in showing the first Dublin game.

    Wexford will beat Carlow (why are Carlow so eternally useless?) but will of course get thumped by Dublin. No sign of Leinster getting competitive any time soon.

    The whole championship is a bit depressingly predictable at the moment and badly needs a couple of new teams to make a breakthrough. Hard to know who that might be though.

    Sky have rights to it, and to first Tipp hurling game so both games be live, most likely on a Saturday night.

    Are you sure?

    I didn't think sky had renewed the rights for next year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    The new broadcast deal hasn't been announced.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,665 ✭✭✭Bonniedog


    I thought it ran into 2017?

    But you may be right. It was stupid deal anyway. No harm if its over. I did hear from one DCB chap that they were trying to secure exclusive rights to semi finals involving AI champions so perhaps someone in CP decided enough was enough!


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,431 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Is the draw finished yet?
