You’re welcome to them Joe. We’ve done our time.

Put Kilkenny in it too and call it the all-Ireland championship. Save a bit of hassle.

Wait, why? What’s the logic behind that? Seems massively counter-productive.

Assume just loading pressure on Leinster council to allow them home games?

Oh, that’s fair enough I guess. It’d be an awful shame if they do leave Leinster.

You may take out Limerick and Waterford so.

Why would it be an awful shame?

Munster’s already in pretty good nick in terms of competitiveness, and Leinster would be fairly barren without them. Do you not think so?

The entire Hurling Championship is dying. But no one has the stomach to fix it. Galway into Leinster did fuck all for Leinster counties, it barely even ruffled Kilkenny’s feathers. Why would it be a shame if they left again? Explain.

The first step would be removing the Leinster Championship entirely. Call it the Bob O’Keeffe Championship or whatever you want, but open it to home and away agreements for any counties who have the means for it. How that decision is made, I don’t know, but baby steps. Once that happens you can look at hacking away at the rest of the fossil that is the AI championship structure.

It’s a symptom of an archaic, unfit for purpose championship, preceded by a league in which most teams don’t really try a leg, save for the individual players over the seventy minutes of play, a championship, which despite having eight or nine very good sides, manages to produce two or three games of note per year, which ruins the club championship, shifting it to the depths of winter, and serves neither the players nor the public, and is a testament to pig headedness, rosy-tintery, half baked nostalgia and idiocy.

What is the basis for this conclusion?
