Absolute madness.
Why two of the most important games all year have to be on the same day is crazy

The treatment the Joe Mcdonagh tournament gets is going to end up killing any plans for a second tier football championship. Why would any county board between 10 and 24 on Laoismans ranking table vote for a championship where the only evidence available points to them getting very little media exposure as a result?

The final of the Joe Mcdonagh should be televised live on RTE, not through some fella streaming it to Facebook/YouTube.

EDIT: They can't even rely on Buff Egan covering it as he'll be off to the Munster final.

Would agree with a lot of it expect Cork won't be finishing bottom in Munster thats for sure

puzl · 21-03-2019 12:48pm

Cork have a tough draw this year with Clare and Limerick away. Cork vs Tipp is a home game but I think there's so much history between them that home advantage isn't a huge factor. They play Waterford in PuC on Waterford's last game of the Munster championship.

I don't expect them to beat either Clare of Limerick away. Not even Limerick could beat Clare in Ennis last year.

Munster is so difficult to predict. You could pick any team and see a reasonable way in which they win Munster and also see a reasonable way in which they finish on 0 or 2 points.

When i looked at that first i thought the championship was now being played off by penalty shoot outs.

big_drive · 21-03-2019 12:54pm

I think Limerick & Cork will cruise through Munster and the other 3 will have a battle to pick up last position

I'd go:
Munster- Limerick, Cork, Clare
Leinster- Galway, Kilkenny, Dublin

I don't think anyone will cruise through Munster but beyond me how anyone would think Cork will.

Cork have won the last 2 Munsters with a limited panel and should have made the All Ireland final last year, now have a stronger panel so shouldn't have much trouble getting into top 3. Winning Munster wouldn't be a certainty though and they might be better off not winning it and going a different route this year

Its important to get that oul hurling out of the way so that the football can take over for the rest of the Summer

There's been nothing so far this year to indicate that it's going to be a good one. Not likely that they can just switch it on in a matter of 4 weeks. People were saying the same of Mayo in the football last year and they didn't even make the super 8s who turned out to be not so super. The hurling is a shark tank in comparison

No hurling team gets to play all their games at home though, including knockout games.
For the last 10 years!

I think the football will be more competitive this year.

As Christy Ring used say when people doubted Cork because of league form " Wait till the cuckoo comes"

puzl · 24-03-2019 8:45pm

Ah lads please don't let this thread turn into a pissing contest.

Munster is a mine field. Cork are going for three in a row. You can list any three teams to progress and it wouldn't be outlandish. Limerick is the only team I would bet on qualifying but I also wouldn't be shocked if they didn't go through.

Championship form will change everything. Neither league finalist contested an all Ireland semi final last year and one of them didn't even get out of their provence. Cork were in the 1A relegation playoff and went on to win Munster and got very close to winning a semi.

One thing is certain: every team in Munster has a plan to win it.

PTH2009 · 31-03-2019 9:58pm

Hate this new structure tbh

In Leisnter KK, Dub, Wex and Gal have a guaranteed win against Carlow and the Mcdonagh Cup champs other years (no disrespect but there not at the level of the rest and could never be sadly). Munster is dog eat dog

Unlike the old system you dont get a chance too play another team from another province unless you finish top 3. The old system at least gave u that chance

But there's no spectre of relegation hanging over the 5 munster teams........

Be grand if there was you could get away from that minefield

Will never happen as the Munster council would have uproar

I'd play off the Munster and Leinster with 5 teams in each as a knockout with it determining seeds for an All Ireland grp stage

Grp 1
Leinster champs
Munster Runners up
Munster semi final loser
Leinster semi final loser
Munster QF loser

Grp 2
Munster champs
Leinster runners up
Munster semi final loser
Leinster semi final loser
Leinster QF loser

Top team in each go too AI semi finals
All Ire QFs- 2nd Grp 1 vs 3rd Grp 2 and 3rd Grp 1 vs 2nd Grp 2

Rightly so if any Munster team was relegated the would cruise thru to the AI final and win it as the standard down there at the moment is plenty high enough.
The game isn’t far of a champions league type groups with winners and runners up in each group to AI semis. Have a relegation playoff with bottom teams in each group, losers go down and champs of 2nd tier comp promoted.
Anyways limerick ahead of the pack but the grass gets long during the summer.

rebelyell99 · 02-04-2019 11:45am

Limerick deserve to be favourites but I wouldn't say there so far ahead that there going to dominate , the intensity will be different in summer and let's not forget they were on the ropes a few times last year Cork and Kilkenny could have both taken them out.Personally I don't think they will win it , I'm expecting a big year from Tipp.

PTH2009 · 14-04-2019 1:29pm

Only 4 weeks to go til the opening weekend

Limerick for Munster
Wexford for Leinster

All Ireland final will be Limerick vs Tipp with Limerick winning

Road-Hog · 14-04-2019 7:17pm

Cork all the way, they will do their 3 in a row in Munster and Win all Ireland too.....their classy and nippy forwards will run riot through all defenses even limericks.

lim4ev · 14-04-2019 11:23pm

I'd be surprised if tipp do it but could be wrong limerick or cork for me

C__MC · 15-04-2019 2:10pm

Big year for Wexford, Leinster is wide open

I’m expecting Dublin to knock out one of the other 3

Bonniedog · 15-04-2019 8:37pm

Leinster will be competitive. Top three apart from Galway by no means certain, and will have to see them to determine how absence of Canning will impact. Not so much as 5/6 years ago when it would have been total disaster.

Fancy Dublin to reach Leinster final, but probably not win it. That would be reasonable progress for first year of MK. A lot will depend on how the bodies are after a series of injuries.

If Wexford can keep Lee Chin, Rory O Connor and Conor McDonald injury free I am going to put them down for the Leinster crown too, it’s **** or bust this year for Davy under them with no champ silverware so far he will go all out.

I am going to go for a Tipp Munster win. Brendan Maher back will be a huge asset.
