Theres no latching on though. People support the team/place they are from/connected to. Thats the beauty of it. Compare it to who people follow in soccer.

Dont agree with that. 7 of the 8 teams are Divison 1 teams and the Division 2 team will be in Division 1 next year. Teams that win All Irelands tend to have good league campaigns also. |

The best teams tend to be in the best division in the league walls but as a form guide the league is not a good indicator

No point in hiding it, we're obviously happy to have drawn Laois. What people seem to forget, The Dubs, apart from the quarters vs Tyrone and patches of the final, didn't hit any kind of form.
Was impressed with Laois yesterday and thought Ross Munnelly was excellent although I just think the Dubs will be too strong on the day. I wouldn't even pay attention to eire32's GAA opinions because he was shouting for Meath on Facebook yesterday and is on here licking Laois's hoops and having a pop off The Dubs. He's an Offaly bitter man. |

Yeah he strikes me as someone who hates Dublin more than he likes his own County

In 31 counties, everyone's second favourite team is whoever is playing Dublin. |

Anytime ive watched the dublin hurlers play in a public outside dublin they get great support from neutrals. It's the opposite in football. My guess is it is mainly down to the media bias

Also neutrals tend to support the underdogs, in football they tend to favourites in most games

When will dates and venues be decided again? Said on rte it would be revealed today.
Provincial champions should have home advantage. |
