The fact that they donât have a big screen in nowlan park probably makes it a bridge too far for Dublin
And god only knows what music they will play.

I seem to remember attending Dublin vs Laois in football championship in Nowlan park around 2015/16. Kildare donât have that experience.
Serious excitement ahead of this weekend youâd have to say.
I think the gaa would be better off with 3 groups of 5 with every side getting two home games. Top 2 in each group through the quarter finals along with the best third placed team. The other two third placed side play off for the last spot.

Why donât they just let everyone into the Group Stages 8x4 (Champions League Format).
Top 2 in each Group go to the Sam Maguire. Bottom 2 into the Tommy Tuchel Cup.
Then knockout last 16 ties in each competition.

The provincials need to have some value in order to preserve them. They need to just bin them though
Call me old fashioned but I loved the old football championship.
The Round 4 qualifiers between the losing provincial finalists and the teams with momentum were always four great games.
The four all Ireland quainter finals in croke park were always interesting too.

Even a diehard like myself have given up on that idea. Not gonna happen anytime soon/ ever.
Theyâve hitched their wagon to multiple mini-leagues and assorted bullshit tiers and thatâs it.
Insert the Dylan Thomas lines here âRage, rage etc.â
If they just would make it two teams out of the group I could live with it. Have the top seeds play last

Is deachair a fheiscant. We almost had a case for the scrubbing of the provincials until last Sunday.
The feckinâ Ulster final againâŚâŚAnother 20 year lifeline just there.
Let it play out lads. There are serious rewards for finishing higher in the group and serious downsides to finishing third. Its worth waiting till itâs done before passing judgement

Itâs like the last 32 at the Crucible playing off an entirely separate tournament before the real tournament, just to decide the seedings for the real tournament.
