What these split season zealots have done must have even exceeded their own wildest expectations.

Marty Morrissey on the radio there saying heās never seen a smaller crowd at an Ulster Football Championship match in Clones.
The split season zealots will no doubt spin this as progress.

The new structure doesnāt help either. Provincials are effectively meaningless unless youāre on the borderline of Sam Maguire/Tailteann and even then a Westmeath or Fermanagh might prefer a run in the Tailteann.
The split season zealots are trying to twist things so they can blame anything but their beloved split season.

Iām no fan of the split season but playing provincial games in April coupled with this elongated structure is a bad recipe. That defeat today for Monaghan has no real significance in the grand scheme of things. Similar to that dramatic but utterly pyrrhic victory against Tyrone last year.
There was real sport on tv too mate
People struggling to differentiate between the split season and championship structures. The issue is the competition structures not the split season.

The championship structures are designed around the split season.

When you dumb the whole thing down to a yellow pack Championship, nobody wants to know.
As @ChairmanDan said the structures are designed around the split season.
When the men long ago were drawing up the calendar, Inter County games were scheduled at 3-4 week intervals to allow for Club activity in between. You couldnāt justify a split season with those kind of gaps as thereād be calls for players to be released back to their clubs.
So what we are left with are endless round robins and back doors where nobody knows whatās going on, and even less care.
Iād have no issue with that if Intercounty managers were tackled head on and players were with their clubs more than the county.

Thatās the solution.
Regular club games inter mingled with inter county games.
If you donāt play with your club you canāt play with your county.
Except you canāt expect lads to play club H&F and inter county. Which is a small price to pay overall.
County manager culture needs to be tackled. They are only doing whatās best for their teams not the sport overall.
