It was a very hot day.

There is nothing like traffic jams, cans and the smell of burger vans in the stifling, dead inland heat of drumlin country.

I didn’t bring a sofa to the Ulster final.

There is a pub in clones called the busted sofa .

Up to the fifties Clones was a bustling town as it was a big railway centre .

8 of the 9 ulster sides in the 2017 all Ireland football championship were beaten by 8 points or more in championship. Cannon fodder.

Urbs antiqua fuit - there was an ancient city which, 'tis said, Juno loved above all the lands. And it was the goddess’s aim and cherished hope that here should be the capital of all nations-should the fates perchance allow that. Yet in truth she discovered that a race was springing from Trojan blood to overthrow some day these Tyrian towers - a people late regem belloque superbum - kings of broad realms and proud in war who would come forth for Libya’s downfall

3 of those results were inflicted by fellow Ulster teams and two of them by All Ireland Champions Dublin. One of those games was a draw and went to extra time against All Ireland runners up Mayo.

Ulster teams had the best record in the football qualifiers last year, as usual.

We all know the value of a draw if you subsequently get beaten

I’m just adding context to the claims being made. Ulster sides won 11 games through the qualifiers, Munster sides won 2, Connacht sides won 5, Leinster 6.

You’re celebrating mediocrity again pal.

I’m not celebrating anything. I’m presenting facts. Ulster is the toughest province to come through.

537

It wasn’t a claim mate it’s fact. 8 Ulster sides were humiliated last year in the championship.

538

And they did better than all the other provinces.

5 Munster teams won 2 games in the qualifiers.
8 Ulster teams won 11 games in the qualifiers.

One county in munster take football seriously. 9 counties in ulster take football seriously.

Which is why the Munster Championship is shit and the Ulster Championship is the best.

You’ve covered it yourself, it’s no wonder Kerry do so well when they have an automatic path through to the last 8 every year.
