I'd be inclined to agree with you Mycon but I do like the idea of giving the weaker counties, or middle-of-the-road counties more competitive Championship games, or at least make sure a good league performance is rewarded come Championship time. I think a lot of the time it's hysterical "analysis" and the whole "death of Gaelic football" thing. Obviously I'm a big fan of the Ulster championship so would hate to see the provincials scrapped. The issue with Dublin in the Championship is that very few teams can cope with them in Croke Park. And I know it's not actually the choice of the Dubs to play there, the Leinster Council decide that and it's a bigger payday for Longford to play in Croker than it would be to bring the Dubs back to Longford... but I'd hazard a guess you'd see a few more upsets in the Leinster championship if they had to play in Mullingar or Portlaoise more often. I like Jim's idea. And Parkinson's idea is decent as well but I don't wanna give that fella credit, he's a twat Mick

I hate playing you lot. Wylie will be a big loss for you but I'm kinda glad we were so poor against Derry, cools all the hype after the Armagh game.
5 Ulster finals in a row. These players are spoiling us now

Might actually get to this one, missed the last two due to being out of the country.

Didn't hear anything, thought he'd be out for the season. He'd be useful for the high ball alright but Colin Walshe was good in the last match and I wouldn't like to see him dropped again.

Yep in the hill, hope it's not lashing rain like the past few days. Should be good craic, think we have a decent chance.

Wanted it more, just like 2013 really - though we showed a bit more fight in the second half, accuracy was terrible, so many wides.
Well deserved from Monaghan though, but it felt a lot like the AI final last year where we definitely deserved to lose but you walk away feeling like you'd left it behind

Hope you's do something in Croke Park this year, McManus is an absolute beast and deserves the biggest stage

Hope you's do something in Croke Park this year, McManus is an absolute beast and deserves the biggest stage I'm going to Croke Park to watch some hurling next month. Semi final or some shit.

Hurling is a sight to behold, mad hard to follow in person though. I've only been there for hurling once at Croke Park and I didn't know what the fuck was going on most of the time and I've been watching it most of my life on television.
Yeah McManus always scores a few brilliant points from play in every game. That score where there was two or three Donegal players around him in the second half but he still found a way to get it over the bar was something else. Pretty much unstoppable for a whole match. Dessie Mone was unreal as well.
What was wrong with Michael Murphy? He had a completely anonymous game. Donegal's tactics were bad too, they scored three points in the first few minutes then almost forgot to attack, 15 men behind the ball. Just completely retreated into their shell for large portions of the game. Thought Gallagher would change things style wise but that's the worst Donegal have been for a while. Monaghan weren't exactly attacking like Dublin but it was very noticeable how little Donegal got anyone forward in the first half. And they essentially lost it then as as well because Monaghan picked off their usual long-range scores from the half back line from O'Connell and Mone. They got forward near the end but it was too late.
Think Donegal are a lot better than they played today.
