2025 All Ireland Football Championship

A home game, a game away at your opponents home or designated home venue and a third game at a neutral venue.

That game came immediately before Armagh did a number on Tommy Lyons’ Dublin team in Croke Park.

Armagh did a number on Dessie Farrell’s Dublin in Croke Park on Sunday so hopefully that’s an indicator of a similar result at the Marshes.

No I mean next years Aussie rules style last 16 format

A classic of this genre.

The Gaelic Football Championship badly needs a strong Dublin. Can anything be done to improve them? From the bits I saw, they looked very ooor against Awrmaw last Sunday.

Lord Kilclooney’s ongoing support has been a tremendous boon to Armagh.

Ah will you go away. We got a strong Dublin for a decade and it nearly ruined the game. Football is in a great place right now. We have far more viable All-Ireland candidates in football than hurling. Dublin coming back to the pack has been great.

What would the rationale be behind a 7:35 start as opposed to 7:30 I wonder?

Is there Currie Cup rugby on TG4 that evening maybe?

What was the rationale behind 5:25pm as opposed to 5:30pm for the Ulster final I wonder?

I’d genuinely love to hear the reasons behind these bizarre start times.

I once attended a Premier League match between Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United (RIP). This had a start time of 7:40pm but they were up front as to why this the start time. It was because it was the 50th anniversary of VE Day and there was a two minutes’ silence across Britain to be held at 8:38pm that evening.

Major League Baseball games regularly start at 7 and 37 minutes past the hour. Probably just a case of the GAA aping MLB.

Maybe the GAA should start a competition called the Aer Lingus Cup with matches starting at 3:20, 3:40, 7:37 and 7:47.

Major League Baseball should do a 9/11 tribute by having matches start at 8:46, 9:03, 9:11, 9:59 and 10:28.

Who said there would be no intercounty hurling in Wexford in 2025 after May had ended?

To quote Tommy Lyons “The GAA needs Dublin, Dublin needs the GAA”

A few years in the doldrums would do is no harm at all and by the looks of things that’s what is coming our way.

Leinster Championship Titles had stopped meaning anything. Even the most recent All Ireland wins were taken for granted by a lot of supporters. A few unsuccessful years will change that.

2023 was a great hoolie to be fair. 2019 was an emotional one as well. 2020 we were all under Tony rule.

2018 was the only one I remember really taken for granted agaisnt poor opposition and the focus was already on the five.

BMW offer a broader range. 320, 325 etc all the way up to 840.
