Eir/Setanta seem to pick a particular county from Div 2/3 and show all their home games of one season. Armagh have been on quite a bit for the last couple of seasons.
I canāt wait till we smash the Rossies at the weekend.
Laois were a bizarre choice, given the D3 status and current rebuilding. Perhaps its the ease of access to, and quality of lighting in, OMP.

If they are home to both Armagh and Tipp then they will probably be decent games to screen live.
Think Armagh should go up this year, very young looking squad and a few important players to return later on, Iād expect them to make a big push at an U21 Ulster this year.
Yea, Iād imagine itāll be Armagh and Tipperary to go up. Louth could be in with a shout, depending on tomorrow nights game. Weāve a very callow side out and I canāt see them being ready for the cut and thrust needed for some of the games coming up.
Have Tipp many back from last year. Acheson is away I think which is a big blow for them, is OāBrien back?
Will Louth take ye tomorrow night?
Iād be surprised if they donāt. Laois have 4 debutants, and are missing the lads I listed above. I have no idea how good Louth are, but if you want to use the OBC as a formline, Laois lost to Meath, and Louth beat Meath. Laois have lost players since that game as well.
However I live in hope. Not much mind you.

Presume theyād show Division 1 or 2 games if the fixtures/facilities allowed it. Thereās a limited amount of teams with decent floodlights and the ability to host Saturday night games. Itād be odd if theyād selected Division 3 games to show ahead of the upper divisions if it was a straight choice.
Louth are 9/4
Seems odd. Iād have a sniff of that if I were you. But still, it is Fortress O Moore Park.

What kind of a team are the Dubs putting out the weekend, weak enough? -3 v Cavan @ 10/11 seems tasty
Iām sure they will have a press conference to reveal all. All in good time. Jim has to stick to āthe processā mate
A very young Donegal side out this weekend.
Think of the outfield players, 9 of them are 23 or under.
The O Hanlonās bare the shit of the whole of Laois that day !!
I believe that Paul Brennan lad was poached from Leitrim.
@thedancingbaby @Massey @anon67715551 @farmerinthecity
Will he survive the cut and thrust of Ulster Championship football?
Unsure of whether he was poached or not mate but he did transfer to Bundoran from Melvin Gaels a couple of years back.
I couldnāt care less whether he can hack it or not.
Is he pretty shit?
Not a bad player at all.
Courseā he will. Heās a hardy enough buck with a bit of football to him.
Ulster āfootballā is in terminal decline in any event (as you well know) so no need for Brennan to panic yet.
Heāll probably come sloping back when the project implodes.
Best of luck against those horrible bastards the weekend btw. Iām expecting a forensic analysis of the Rossies from first hand evidence from you in due course.
