do you guys think Laois have a chance of upsetting the odds this year in Leinster?

Tyrone/Donegal will be very interesting tomorrow.

Gonna show myself to be totally out of touch with GAA, but you have Tyrone winning Ulster, yet Armagh winning the All-Ireland. How does that work?

As far as I remember, only 1 county per province (in football, unless they now have a backdoor system also).

I was in Thurles tonight, at half time we (semi-jokingly) discussed leaving!!
Some comeback, both in normal and extra time.
Oddly enough the last time I was at a Limerick game in Thurles we looked like getting hockeyed early on and came back to draw!!

Haha - Limerick don't have a chance.

2 pretty average teams played out a pair of draws. Neither will even get close to winning the Munster final.

Galway are the dark horses this year. The only team that will challenge us.

Hurling: Kilkenny
Football: Donegal

I didn't catch all the match last night but who else thinks Tipp threw it away? They're turning into the Dubs now.

Ya Tipp bottled it twice in normal and extra time. 10 points up with about 15-20 minutes to go still managed to draw even though they had Limerick pretty much underwraps all game. Then in extra time were ahead for most of it but still managed to be caught on the line although having said that Limerick should never have got the 65 at the end. It was a classical case of the benefit of the doubt going to the team that was behind. I think Tipp are the better team but cant kill off a determined limerick team. Maybe Ger Loughnane is right that Babs Keating day in management has come and gone.

Agreed but it happens constantly in the GAA

Couple of points in it with a couple of minutes left?? Shur feck it we'll call it a draw, another big payday, everybody's happy :rolleyes:

Also anybody notice how the GAA have been under-estimating the crowds all year?? That 27k yesterday was at least 32k-35k. Similarily the official attendance given of 26k at the first game was laughable.

I wonder are their figures put under half as much examination as Eircom League clubs??

Cash on the stiles ;):rolleyes:

I agree with most of that, Tipp looked the better team all game, another inconsistant Ref (from the town end terrace anyway) id say we wouldnt have got that 65 at the end if it wasent for John lahey, thanks John!!!

The Ground Capacity at Semple Stadium is 55,000

The Ground Capacity in Limerick is 52,000*

Look at the tapes. Do they look just over half full to you ;)

*or 49,000 I forget which but either way my point stands

Tyrone were brilliant yesterday. I think a team from Ulster will win the Sam this year and not necessarily Tyrone but still early days. Donegal was getting the hype treatment before yesterday and looked what happened! I imagine Dublin will the big write up hereonin but I have my doubts they can make an impression once they get to the Q finals and beyond.

There is a back-door system in both football and hurling, so even though Armagh have already been beaten, I think they could go a long way through the qualifiers.
Having said that, after yeasterday, I think Tyrone are now th efavourites. I thought all the injuries would be too much for them

Backdoor/Qualifier system was introduced to the football championship in 2001.:)

draw for qualifiers is gonna be interesting. Open draw this season so potential for a big clash in round 1.

3 points up and we still lose by 2 points....terrible. what was the match like( was in rome so didnt hear or read about it )? I didnt think you like Gaelic gustavo - or was it just to get one in at me ;)? supposedly we were pure sh1te. Hope ye beat galway though, hate those shower of arrogant CTs. Eamon o'hara deserves a connaught title.

Would be great if it happened. My mother was from Waterford (Lismore) and my cousins played in the county team but Waterford don't win All Irelands alas. They won the league ok this year so perhaps a miracle is on the cards - I saw them lose to Clare in a semi-final a few years back (my first visit to Croke Park since the Primary School games donkey's years ago) but hope springs eternal.

I dont mind the gaelic at all , Always like to see Sligo do well , it was probaly just to get one in at you yes:)
Roscommon were poor apparently , we were first to every ball in the 2nd half , could have and should have won by more yea i hope we win it for the likes of O'Hara McGuire and Davey who have been trying for a decade and more.

If they met Cork again, its very likely that cork would turn them over.

Very possible alright. Cork were practically missing their whole defence but still almost got a draw yesterday. I dont think Waterford are any better than they were in the last few years when they have always fallen short up in Croke Park and with some of their older fellas pushing on i dont think they will get to the final this year either.

bit of a generalization.

Every Mayo man I know wanted Galway to win the Sam in 2001, 2000 and 98. Why because it was good for Connaught. Can I say the same about Galway fans when Mayo were gunning for it? Can I ****. One Galway **** I know said he'd rather see England win the world cup than Mayo ever win the Sam again!!!!!!

All galway people want mayo to win the football All-Ireland and Tipperary to win the hurling All-Ireland;)
