Cork will win the A.I.

Fran · June 30, 2019, 7:38pm

They will in their hole

gilgamboa · June 30, 2019, 7:38pm

Agreed. Its set up lovely for us now. Playing LK off a break again.

PhattPike · June 30, 2019, 7:43pm

4 (Four) matches away from an AI Title. Less than Galway and Clare anyways.

Dublin are in a very nice place going into the quarter-final against Tipperary

Not sure who we have to beat next week but a good run out and not too taxing game is perfect preparation

Tipperary will be reeling after today and are without their main forward cog

I don’t expect Dublin to have enough but the circumstances are as good as we could ask for

If Cork win their Round 4 football qualifier the GGA could have a fixture headache

Stick stick quarter-finals have taken place on two separate days in the last two years

If Cork reach the super 8 it’s Dublin v Cork at Croke Park on July 13/14

That means you can’t have one stick stick quarter-final on the Saturday and one on the Sunday unless it’s a very attractive, mouthwatering double header with the football

Methinks Tipp will be coming to Croker on the Saturday

iron_mike · June 30, 2019, 7:52pm

Well Dublin would be very much within their rights if the GAA tried to hold a double header in Thurles and they did a Kildare on it

Sidney · June 30, 2019, 7:54pm

Dublin went to Thurles in 2014

We’re owed at least a neutral game in Croke Park against Tipperary

PhattPike · June 30, 2019, 7:55pm

There is simply no way Tipp vs Dublin should be held in Thurles.

I’ll go for Tipp vs Dublin in Nowlan Park and KK vs Cork in Thurles.

iron_mike · June 30, 2019, 7:56pm

Yea but the GAA pulled a fast one that year and designated Thurles the venue for the 1/4 finals regardless of the teams involved

GeoffreyBoycott · June 30, 2019, 7:58pm

Dublin should play hardball on this and look for home advantage in Parnell Park.

balbec · June 30, 2019, 7:59pm

Don’t stop believin’

Piles_Hussain · June 30, 2019, 8:16pm

Upshot of everything after the provincials

tis Limerick’s to lose
noBonnernoparty
Limerick v Chipp is still the most likely ai final pairing.
Leinster dogfights will prove to be an unfair disadvantage when compared to the cakewalk of Munster

Gman · June 30, 2019, 8:22pm

Another nail biting close hard hitting Leinster championship game and a handy one sided hammering in the uneventful Munster championship.

Box office

Fran · June 30, 2019, 8:30pm

It’s just a pity that the curtain raiser was over after 40 mins

iron_mike · June 30, 2019, 8:39pm

Aye twas the best rugby match seen in Croker since Ireland beat England there a few years back

myboyblue · June 30, 2019, 8:39pm

Ahem

Gman · June 30, 2019, 8:39pm

In good old fashioned @anon32894817 style, here is a post dug up that hasn’t aged well. Even though it’s not exactly that old either.

myboyblue · June 30, 2019, 8:40pm

I love you bro

PhattPike · June 30, 2019, 8:42pm

Is it decided yet which game will be on which day?

Tipp vs Wexford will surely be the box office event on the Sunday. They could have Limerick vs KK on below in Portlaoise on the Saturday.

dodgy_keeper · June 30, 2019, 8:42pm

Time to get rid of these outdated provincial championships.

Seeing the big two of Limerick and Wexford picking up the silverware again today does nobody any good.
