Leitrim in Qualifier Section B, if it comes to that
Jesus this championship format badly, badly needs to be revamped. The Leinster Connacht and Munster championships are farcical competitions and are damaging the game.

This is the football thread mate
Ulster draw very lopsided
Really looking forward to the Ulster championship next year. What a draw that is, we’ll have some mouth watering games. Looks to be very competitive as ever.
Fucking joke of an Ulster draw, completely lopsided and that again leaves the B side of the qualifer draw a joke.
Fucking hell. What a draw in Ulster.
Donegal v Tyrone in the preliminary round. Winner to play Armagh. Derry v Down also in that half.
Great draw for Monaghan in the other half v Cavan. Fermanagh v Antrim the last tie.
Leitrim could be in there 
You must be delighted mate
How did this pan out for you db?

Nailed it pal
who will you be supporting this year, you switched alleginaces a few years back so can we assume you will be switching again?
So on the B side of the qualifiers you are likely to have
4 of Donegal/Armagh/Tyrone/Down/Derry
Galway or Mayo
All fighting for 2 spots in the last 12 of the All Ireland - an absolute joke of a draw. Which beaten provincial finalists go into the B side?

Meanwhile on the A side:
You will likely have two of the following battling it out for a last 12 position in the qualifiers:
Sligo
Limerick
Clare
Kildare
Laois
Cavan
Fermanagh
Antrim
Offaly
Longford
Carlow
Kildare would be certs for a last 12 position there.
The provincial losers would be chomping for a go at the A side of the draw. I know Ulster and Munster are paired together this year and Leinster and Connacht but does anyone know which side of the draw these provinces are attached too. Potentially you could have Meath or Roscommon (no offence intended) playing off against a team like Cavan or Laois (no offence intended) for a place in the last 8.
I presume Leinster and Connacht will be attached to the B side of the draw.
It’ll likely all work out something like as follows:
Qualifier A side
Round 1A - four ties to be drawn from the following
Cavan
Antrim
Offaly
Longford
Laois
Carlow
Clare
London
Sample Round 1A ties and winners:
Cavan v Antrim - CAVAN
Offaly v Laois - LAOIS
Carlow v Clare - CLARE
London v Longford - LONGFORD
Round 2A - Four winners from Round 1A to meet beaten A side provincial semi-finalists
Fermanagh
Kildare
Limerick
Sligo
Sample Round 2A ties:
Cavan v Limerick - CAVAN
Sligo v Laois - LAOIS
Kildare v Clare - KILDARE
Fermanagh v Longford - FERMANAGH
Round 3A
The four Round 2A winners are drawn into two ties:
Laois v Fermanagh - LAOIS
Kildare v Cavan - KILDARE
Round 4A - Two teams Round 3A winners drawn into ties against the beaten Munster and Ulster finalists
Monaghan v Laois - MONAGHAN
Cork v Kildare - CORK
Quarter Final A section - Round 4A winners drawn against Munster/Ulster champions:
Kerry v Monaghan - KERRY
Donegal v Cork - CORK
All-Ireland semi-final: Kerry v Cork
Qualifier B section:
Round 1B
Four Round 1 qualifier ties to be drawn from the following

Armagh
Derry

Westmeath
Waterford
Leitrim
Sample Round 1B qualifier ties:

Wicklow v Louth - LOUTH
Westmeath v Waterford - WESTMEATH
Leitrim v Armagh - ARMAGH
Round 2B - Four winners from Round 1B to meet beaten B side provincial semi-finalists:
Down
Wexford
Tipperary
Galway

Westmeath v Galway - GALWAY
Wexford v Armagh - ARMAGH
Round 3B - four winners from Round 2B drawn into to two ties:

Galway v Tyrone - TYRONE
Round 4B -
Round 3B winners drawn into ties gainst beaten Connacht and Leinster finalists Roscommon and Meath
Roscommon v Armagh - ARMAGH
Meath v Tyrone - TYRONE
Quarter Final B section - 4B winners meet Connacht/Leinster winners
Mayo v Tyrone - MAYO
Dublin v Armagh - DUBLIN
All-Ireland semi-final - Mayo v Dublin
Another gift of a draw for Cork so.
They could reach an All Ireland QF by beating Limerick or Clare and then beating a side like Laois or Cavan.

also a great draw for Cavan. They have been hovering up Ulster under 21 titles last 3 or 4 years. They do need to become less defensive and if they do that draw holds all kinds of possibilities for them
Hyland is a dinosaur and their forwards are really average, they have a few good players like McKiernan and Clarke though.
Because they are good teams. Dublin have it just as easy
