Much and all as itâs still revered and by far the most competitive championship left, winning the Ulster championship is kinda pointless if you get to this stage and still have 3 other Ulster teams left.
Anything less than three teams in the quarters would be evidence of free state anti-ulster bias.
Knock out matches are mighty.
There is one significant drawback though I see.
Going into the first match in Connacht this year, the loser would end up playing two less matches than the winner had both theoretically went on to win the All Ireland.
Encores are shite. Play your set and leave the stage in the style of Mastodon and the War on Drugs. This fucking ritual of cheering and clapping and then ohh will they come out and play some more gives me the pip. Play your set well and fuck off.

Sam Fender played in Dublin during the week and Seventeen Going Under was part of his encore.
So he walked off stage having not played his most famous song by a mile.
Itâs all a bit daft.
But I wouldnât be as angry about it as you. Itâs tradition more than anything.
Some cunts do two encores. Now thatâs self indulgent tripe.
I saw The Dandy Warhols back around 2000 up in Dublin. It got to the stage where they would finish up the show, head backstage for a slash and then go back on for an encore. The lights came on. They said âthis whole encore stuff is bullshit but we are taking a quick smoke break. Have a chat to whoever is beside you. Even better if theyâre a strangerâ. The band sat on the stage, smoked a fag, and then got back up and did a few more songs.
I would also say that some of the biggest hits are left for encores generally. You climax at the end.

Sounds like a lecturer when youâre in first year in college and youâre dreading them saying that.
they were pretentious enough. It was back during that time when the lass on keyboards used to whip off her top during the show, but it was a cold winter night in Dublin from what I recall.
Was it just the top half Father of did you get to see the whole thing?
Top only
The GAA has 0 right to have games free to air on RTE. Just because thereâd be over 70k in Croke Park, doesnât mean it should be shown on telly.

Tomas OâSe is a very cliche driven pundit. Lazy analysis mostly.

A hit n hope worthy of a fella like Niall Scully
Tomas is a nostalgia driven throwback, a wistful reminder of simpler times, curlews snipes, dancing at crossroads and regional accents.
Peter cunuhvun is pure turgidâŚsomeone could shoot him live on air and his tone of voice wouldnât charge

Iâd rather listen to Faithless tunes without Maxi Jazz droning on with his lyrics.
