@Julio_Geordio

With the new format this year you’d have to assume winning the provinacial final will be a genuine advantage. There’ll be nothing but good teams left in the QFs this year.

I’d love a crack of galway in the all ireland semi final.

Another trip to Mullingar . Real glamour .

Christ I really dislike that place. Horrible drive there too.

@iron_mike is the best thing to come out of na piarsigh by a distance.

Huh? I’m Italian mate

[anon78624367]

That’s perfect. The old 6 weeks was tough that one time

[Julio_Geordio]

Plenty time for us to get the suits fitted and write a few songs

[iron_mike]

A cunt of a place

[gaillimhmick]

Just do a remix of ‘Limerick you’re a lady’

And the team who comes third in the province faced with an awkward away tie in Mullingar etc where the locals don’t ever spare the timber, possibility of more injuries and suspensions etc.

We played Westmeath twice away under Teege. Scraped by them the first day only in the last ten mins (there may have been some controversy about a Paul Browne goal) as Adrian Breen came on and scored a late match clinching goal.

The next year (I think) we had a man sent off in the first half (Nash??) but pulled away in the second half after only having a narrow advantage at half time.

Anyone know the gap in weeks between the last group game in Munster and the preliminary quarter?

The gap between the Munster final and All-Ireland quarter final?

The gap between the Munster final and All-Ireland semi final?

Fuck sake. I feel like @backinatracksuit having to teach ye fuckers everything

[dodgy_keeper]

Good man.

So,

Three week gap from last group game to preliminary quarter final. Win that and out the next week again in full quarter final.

Two weeks from Munster final to A-I quarter final.

Four weeks from Munster final to semi final.

Seanie O’Brien was sent off in the second match and we were actually losing at half time by a point if I recall correctly. Had the wind in the second half and won by 9 or 10 in the end.

[anon32894817]

That was Byrnes debut?

[iron_mike]

Truth be told the gap between games is ok. Losing a provincial final is nearly more beneficial in terms of game time. But I would love to see us hit the 20 mark in Munster. Plus I feel an AI is probably beyond us this year so a provincial would be just reward and a good sign.

[Bod95]

In 2016? Could have been or did he not play against Tipp in Thurles that year?
