The loser of this evening’s Donegal-Monaghan replay also goes into the B side, as does the Ulster final loser.
The Ulster final winner and the loser of the Tyrone-Cavan replay go into the A side.
The B side is looking considerably stronger at this point and Dublin will likely have a tough quarter-final draw after their cakewalk through Leinster. This may well be where they are taken, if at all.
Kerry, presuming they win tomorrow, will also be vulnerable in the quarter-final. That quarter-final won’t be for another five weeks and it’s unlikely they’ll be tested going into it.
Midlands Radio 103 should do ya. You’ll find it on the excellent radio player app. It may not get full coverage though with Offaly playing Wexford. There may be a devoted mixlr link, I’ll post it if there is.
For argument’s sake I’ll say that Galway, Tyrone, Kerry and Dublin win the provinces and the beaten finalists are Roscommon, Monaghan, Westmeath and Tipperary.
The quarter finals would then work out something like this:
Galway v A side qualifier (likely one of Cavan/Tipperary/Meath/Derry/Laois/Armagh)
Tyrone v A side qualifier (likely one of Roscommon/Cavan/Tipperary/Meath/Derry/Laois/Armagh)
Dublin v B side qualifier (likely one of Donegal/Monaghan/Mayo/Cork)
Kerry v B side qualifier (likely one of Donegal/Monaghan/Mayo/Cork)
Winning Ulster is a serious prize this year. An All-Ireland final place is definitely up for grabs by getting into the A side.
I wonder about the appearence alright. There is decent studies done that say the healthier you coach appears and looks the more your players will respect you.
I don’t buy the injury excuse. I have a 48 year old female client with 2 replacement knees and is in remarkable shape (and it has f-all to do with me). You should practice what you preach at leSt to some level.

Some of sport’s greatest ever coaches there and none of them looked a picture of health.
McGeeney is an impressive physical specimen, boy is he impressive. Not currently an impressive coach, however. He’s missing the very unimpressive looking Paul Grimley, I think.
Read before about how Fergie and United were looking for a new assistant manager at one point (after either Kidd or McLaren left)
Fergie got a recommendation about Martin Jol (before he took over at Spurs) so called him up to arrange a meeting. Jol arrived on, Fergie took one look at him and decided he couldn’t offer him the job because the players wouldn’t respect someone in that shape.
