Basically I see nothing positive about allowing 2 teams into a competition mid way through only for them to take a hiding. It makes no sense.
2 provincial groups. 2 semi finals. 1 final.
Itâs hardly rocket science. I accept this is the GAA we are discussing though.
I also see you can finish 2nd in the group and still win the provincial title 
They refused us Leinster, but by god they wont refuse us our All Ireland*!
*that is once we win Joe.
The Munster hurling Final is the second greatest occasion in Irish sport . Removing it would be an act of cultural vandalism . Also there must be a big reward for winners .
It appears to me that they are just dragging out the competition for no reason.
A âfinalâ for the top 2 in the group.
Bring in 2 teams from the McDonagh Cup.
No reason for either of the above
Well it originally had no entry point for the Joe McDonagh teams, but they kicked up a fuss because they were being fucked over.
So Laois & Meath brought forward this motion, and it was passed.
More games I suppose but youâre not wrong, mate.
I agree with you in the main but you know how GAA politics work .

Jerome O Connell says the Cork vs Limerick game is on Sky Sports
Potentially every Limerick game there on de telly. DĂol-Oifig
3 of them are Saturday evening games and think sky have the rights to those
Clare year
Great to have Damien Hayes back on Wollys podcast. A box office simpleton
Pity he was missing when Lmk beat Galway for promotion this year the cunt.
A âmuldoonâ of epic proportions and a serious roaster. Was an excellent forward for a fair few years.
Ya, he would have been devastated.
Hayes comes across as a bit of a narky fucker to listen to. I think Cheddar is much better
A mad cunt. He just seems to repeat what he hears around portumna, so some good stuff, some bizarre. Least he did it at the top level and doesnât spoof trying to seem smarter than he is, like that fool Stapleton
