Draw tomorrow week. Itâll be later that afternoon when times and venues are confirmed - giving teams and supporters a mere five days to prepare for a knock out match. Itâs no wonder crowds are down across the board when thereâs fuck all organisation for these matches.
Thick cunts are happy to make the provincial draws seven or eight months in advance but drag the arse out of the qualifiers to the last possible minute.
Hurling gets little enough promotion as it is and then they defer this draw needlessly, a two week build up to say Kilkenny v Waterford/Tipp in a knock out game at the start of July wouldnât have been any harm.
Because Carlow have to play Laois presumably. If Laois were to win that big local derby, wouldnât they have to be kept away from Westmeath who theyâve already faced in the Leinster Championship?
@Fitzy, you should leave the Wexford discussion to the Wexford lads and focus on your own patch.
Whatâs the feeling up in your part of Carlow about prospects against Laois in the qualifier on Sunday?
I suppose the teams in the provincial finals are hoping Tipp and KK make it through to quarters so they cant be accused of winning a soft All Ireland . It certainly has put an asterisk beside Clareâs 2013 win .
Done. A 50/50 shot of them meeting if they manage to win both their first games, plus the chance they donât both win one of 4 games even if they donât meet. I make it about a 25% chance of them both getting through
