An hour up the motorway for the dubs. Could they make it any easier for the gurriers?

One of the greatest sporting occasions of all time.

The greatest match never seen.

There’ll be some trade done in the supermarkets of Newry

Donegal v Mayo fixed for Dr Hyde. Practically a home game for Mayo, but fuck ‘em.

Derry will be doing well to make it alive down the A5.

It’s good for Dublin they’ve avoided the historically disastrous date of Sunday June 15th.

There’ll be some crowd of Dublin fans getting the train up to Newry and then getting lost when they realise the station is in a different county.

Markievicz Park is out of commission, Carrick or Longford aren’t fit to hold it leaving Breffni Park but whether or why they’re gone for The Hyde. We’ll get the views of Bainisteóir Jim in due course but they’re unlikely to be as phlegmatic as yours were.

You have to love the random times for Saturday games the GAA come up with. 4:15pm and 6:30pm add to the 2pm, 2:30pm, 3pm, 3:15pm, 3:30pm, 3:45pm, 4pm, 4:45pm, 5pm, 5:25pm, 5:30pm, 6pm and 7pm games we’ve had so far in these championships.

I’d say it’s closer to Dublin? Look we won’t moan about it regardless. We have a better record outside croke park anyway.

Wait till you hear the bellyaching out of Jim McGuinness about having to go to Hyde park.

Jarlath Sr has spat in the face of every Cunnie on the planet with Breffni Park as the venue Saturday week. There won’t be 8k at it now that Armagh are home and hosed. Carrick woulda been fairest.

If we bate dublin on Sunday week then we’re more or less certain to win sam…we’ll probably have to bate them by 5 points rright enough

Yiz are bound to win a match at some stage.

Breffni or Clones would have made the most sense, given the renovations in Sligo and the capacity limitations elsewhere.

Bound to . Wait long enough and five come along at once

I don’t recall Derry ever not winning a championship match they’ve played in Newry. They beat Down there in 1987, 1993, 2005 and beat Westmeath last year.

Slaughtneil ambushed Vinnies there in 2017 too along with Glen scalping Krokes.

Dublin need to channel the spirit of Vinnies’ 2014 win over Ballinderry at the Marshes.

Are all games in the new format at home venues for one of the teams? These aul neutral venue matches are a load of poo poo really.

Tommy Lyons Dublin team did a number on Derry in a qualifier in Clones back in 2003 too. This game is a defacto 3rd round qualifier.
