Good point. So itâs essentially Wexford and Galway getting screwed over with the scheduling, Carlow getting screwed over by getting relegated, despite bottom team in Munster, Waterford having a worst record over the four matches. Itâs all loaded in favour of money bags Dublin and the establishment team Kilkenny.
Ye lost to Dublin FFS.
This is remarkably similar to the Kilkenny County Championship structure which Iâve always thought was worth adopting at intercounty level.
You tell me why youâre so sour. The new format is as fair as it can be. Everyone gets a shot. Why you and so many others here so sour about that?
Just like the hurling championship Iâm being as fair and balanced as I can be
20 games to eliminate 3 teams essentially. You couldnât make it up!

Crummy was marking Johnny Glynn all day. Johnny didnât bother tracking him back. Heâs probably tired from all the tracking back and forth from America
Canning was being marked by Tom Connolly. Incidentally the roof nearly lifted off the place when Canning ran on. He trotted out to the Left Half Forward position to mark Tom Connolly. Tom started looking and gesturing towards Greg Kennedy the maor foirne in a âyouâre not expecting me to mark this cuntâ type manner. Greg responded with a âjust get the fuck on with itâ gesture.

4 teams you gowl. Carlow had a shot
How are you, logistically, going to get the Club Championships âplayed off by early to mid Decemberâ? Are you happy to knock out club teams from championship to meet this âearly to mid Decemberâ schedule? And therefore to leave many clubs idle between July and the following March?
Equally, the Club Championships running beyond Christmas affects 1% of club players (probably fewer, in fact). How do you make out that an initiative not affecting 99% of players is important? Reality: 99% of club playersâ off season would be unaffected by this initiative.

Super reporting. Feels like I was just beside the interaction.

The format is not perfect but itâs grand to continue it for another year or two and then tweak it. After four matches if you canât get in the top three you can have no complaints.
The GAA really need to pump money into the Joe McDonagh teams who are actually working hard to improve their lot as opposed to those doing nothing (Offaly)
One issue Iâd change is that it should be three points for a win. Winning a match should give a greater reward than only an extra point versus a draw.

Iâd say you enjoyed Tommy Conlonâs piece yesterday? It was a great read
No youâre not, youâre being sour and now you to change the rules, like the rest of these clueless fools.
Itâs a very good system and if youâre good enough, youâll be able to navigate it. A small bit of adjustment is all thatâs required.
Wtf? Is he still doing that? He must be very simple
Offaly seem to complain a lot. I feel sorry for their current bunch of players.
Thereâll always be a flaw in the system. Galway could conceivably have won a whole heap of all Irelands by only playing two matches. However, they didnât manage to win one most years
The rules are fine but anyone who really cares about the game can see the structures are a joke and contribute to make a mockery of everything championship hurling is supposed to stand for
I think we should give Galway direct entry to an All Ireland semi final.
