Some counties got absolutely screwed by the GAA. Downs population 500k and Antrim 650k. Yet neither got funding any close to proportionate to Dublin. But then again nobody did. Just look at Cork.

As I've mentioned multiple times before, in my own junior club we employed a GDO for a few years. It was matched funding so we had to raise half and the county board/GAA contributed the other half. Every club was at it to keep up. Was this scheme not offered nationwide?

Wouldn't have a clue if was offered nationwide or not know my club a junior club here in Donegal and didn't have anything like that in place but definitely wouldn't use my club as an example of what was happening in the whole county we been lucky to field senior teams in the last 10 years ๐ฑ

Fair play ro tg4 for their continued support of the underage competitions they are showing 3 games live tonight via their YouTube channels
When sky pulled out I'd hoped they would get some of the coverage of the senior championship but it went to gaago instead

21,000 today for the two Leinster semis. Obviously the large Louth support from last year got the memo. It's a shame really because Louth beating Kildare in a Leinster semi should be an historic result but nobody cares because Dublin will just butcher them unless they park the bus for damage control.
It's clear as Day even Dublin fans don't attend and if the season ticket holders didn't need an attendance record there would be even less. I think at this point no Leinster match should be in croker until the final. It's also clear as Day Dublin shouldn't be playing this competition anymore. it would be like Galway hurlers competing for the Connaught hurling championship. Imagine if it was a Offaly V Louth final. You'd have 40-50k, a great atmosphere and huge celebrations after.

Christ that was a nail biter today thought we were off the boil in 1st half and poor discipline cost us with tyrone getting 4 or 5 scores from frees in that half. I'd say mcguinness gave them a right chewing at half time because the intensity rose dramatically in the 2nd half and then fitness told in extra time I've just seen the stats from the game and they tell a different story altogether and if we had our scoring boots on would of been a different story with us kicking 15 wides and another 8 shots either short or blocked Last point I'd make is it was great seeing the supporters out in force today was 14471 in celtic park and I'd not be over estimating if I said 12000 of them most of been from donegal. I couldn't believe how poor the tyrone support was today not sure if any of the tyrone lads on here can give an idea into why their support numbers have fallen dramatically

great game to watch I thought. Tyrone defended really well and were very clinical when chances came. We were uncharacteristically poor in front of goal. A real off day for Mc Brearty and Gallen wasn't great. Great point at the death from the former. Thought the two ODonnells, Mogan and Mc Gee really stepped up even things were going against us. Mattie Donnelly was MOTM for me. We couldn't get to grips with him when he got going. Hope I can get a ticket for the final now!!

McShane was poor for Tyrone and McCurry was quiet

yeah the support was unreal I couldn't get over the amount of Donegal that was there, I know there's a huge buzz in the county again after how bad things got last year so it's great to see the support and I think it had a factor in getting the players over the line. The roar when McCole equalised was unreal. Final tickets will be hard got now In terms of discipline there was some poor tackling but there were a couple of frees given by the ref that I thought weren't even soft, they were just bad decisions. We got one or two that way too but obviously I noticed way more that were given to Tyrone In fairness he kept his cards in his pocket Shooting boots were definitely missing, first half especially and the chances were landing with players you'd want to take on the shots. McBrearty, Gallen, Thompson, O'Baoill all had bad misses and in my opinion not under huge huge pressure from Tyrone when they missed them. Tyrone though are just such a sticky outfit and some real quality players. Mattie Donnelly was my MOTM as well @thebronze we couldn't get a handle on him at all although Shane O'Donnell seemed to pick him up more in the 2nd half and that seemed to quieten him a bit Thought the O'Donnells and Jason McGee were fantastic for us

I do think McShane gave Moore a bit of trouble in the first half especially, without scoring, and I hope Moore learns from it as I think Armagh forwards will punish him a lot more than McShane did

Interesting draw for the sam maguire group stage
Group One
Galway/Mayo (winners)
Donegal/Armagh (losers)
Derry
Westmeath
Group Two
Dublin/Louth (winners)
Galway/Mayo (losers)
Roscommon
Cavan
Group Three
Donegal/Armagh (winners)
Clare/Kerry (losers)
Tyrone
Cork
Group Four
Kerry/Clare (winners)
Dublin/Louth (losers)
Monaghan
Meath So Donegals reward for reaching the ulster final will be to play at least 1 team they have already beaten this year. If they win ulster play tyrone at home 1st then away to Cork the following weekend really isn't much reward for winning a provincial final anyway. Like Mayo and Galway both must be thinking we be better off not winning connaught after seeing that draw

Didn't realise there was a group stage but that's a tasty draw. I like the format now with league, provincials providing qualification for this. The Tailteann has been a success the last 2 year's too.

Rough one for the Connaught winners right enough! Dublin must have picked that draw themselves.
