No reason we can't have a go off Tyrone I think, definitely not the worst group, especially looking at how group 1 was panning out (Connacht winners, Ulster runners up, Derry, Westmeath).

 

[The Highway Man]

Lads here giving up that we can't win a game at home or a neutral venue is bordering on PATHETIC.

Yerra its with us and Clare for the wooden Spooneen! Have some fucking Pride even before a ball is kicked.

So we are away to Clare in round 1. Cusack park is a tip but we will win there.

Then we have Donegal at home, not an easy trip for those lads. We’ll give them a rattle.

Neutral game then versus Tyrone.

I think we’ll be seeing the preliminary quarters anyway with an outside chance of the quarters!

Well beating Clare is a must, and will be the deciding factor on where this management is going after this year. Clare, you can be sure, will have that marked as their main match to get points in. Let's see how the Munster final goes but they don't look like the side of the previous years from the league. There's nothing in the other 3 you wouldn't give us a chance against. Armagh or Donegal will be bate mentally and physically after Ulster. Tyrone have never reached the highs of 2021. It's a bit silly that Galway / Mayo will probably be actively trying to lose the Connacht final because of this draw. You do wonder why it had to be made so early

Ulster winners will get a first home match so our first game could be in Donegal or Armagh.

Frightening to think how convoluted and stupid the gaaaa make things. On the group frankly I expect us to be well competitive with the 2 northern teams and to beat Clare, we owe them that.
Tyrone are all over the shop performance wise, Donegal in Mordor would be a challenge but down the pairc I wouldn’t fear them although they would be favourites, lots of time to prep and get ready for this on our side

Think the fixtures are set that we’ll be away to Clare first on the weekend of the 18th.

Assuming Clare lose to Kerry of course.

I thought teams who played each other all ready could not be drawn against each other again. Now if donegal win ulster they end up playing Tyrone a few weeks after beating them.

Don’t think our home game is down the pairc so we’ll have to hear a lot about that as usual but having Armagh or donegal come down is definitely a big advantage no matter where the match is played

No. Only provincial finals can’t be repeated and the seeding prevents that anyway. Technically Cork could get Kerry again but we know that wont happen.

It’s a good draw in the sense of winning on game gets us through and Clare away is a very winnable game. Probably the most winnable game in the draw, despite losing there last year.

I think we’d rattle the Ulster winners at home and Tyrone neutral too.
