Qualifiers 2018

[Ogs lad]

Feck it, bring any of em on. Were gonna have to be challenged soon anyway to make the super 8

 

[PatMustard]

I was told it was an open draw, but there are so many stories and in truth no one seems to really know and that suits the suits as they can do whatever the hell they like..........or is that just my perception???

No, that's about right.

it says on gaaie tyrone vs monaghan can't happen

 

[Big Jim]

Yeah seems right enough as teams that played in a provincial game can't be paired. I think Monaghan and Tyrone are the only ones that are affected though:

Round 2 Winners (8)

• Armagh
• Cavan
• Kildare
• Leitrim
• Mayo
• Monaghan
• Tyrone
• Clare

(from gaa.ie)
"In the third round, the eight winning teams from round 2 play off in four matches. Round 3 draw rules do not allow two teams that have played each other in a provincial match to meet again if such a pairing can be avoided. The four winners of these matches play the four losing provincial finalists in round 4."

"In the fourth round, the four losing provincial finalists play the four winning teams from round 3 of the qualifiers. Round 4 draw rules do not allow teams that have met in a provincial match to meet again if such a pairing can be avoided. The matches are normally held in neutral venues. The four winners of these matches play the four provincial winners in two groups of four in the All Ireland Super 8s."

And then that hits the Quarter finals "Super 8s"

Personally, I’d like to see Tyrone (especially after the u20s), Cavan or Kildare in the next round, tough but winnable games. Think the team need to step up and playing division 3 teams all year hasnt allowed them to show their ability. Also, despite me willing to back geezer think 99% of Armagh will be calling for his head unless we beat a division 1/2 team.

Then of course want Fermanagh in the athletic grounds in round 4!

it would be in fermanagh since they are ulster runners up plus im sure we can't play them yet again

Yea it’s a bit confusing over whether we can get them or not, but last year after we played Down in Ulster quarters and they made the final, we were able to draw them in last round of qualifiers (but got Kildare instead obviously)

Correct, can't play fermanagh in round 4 assuming we are in it.

 

[portadownarmaghfan]

Very simple lads. Win our next 7 games and we're all Ireland champions.

Has anyone told McGeeney?

Can’t wait to see how many suspensions come out of the Cavan vs Down melee

Was that not because Down had played us and Monaghan in Ulster

 

[William Of Orange]

The draw is live today on RTÉ Radio 1 and news now if you want the pictures 521 on Sky

 

[Muckser]

Kildare v mayo
Clare v Armagh

 

[niall1980]

We be at home

 

[Muckser]

Game in Armagh as we are lower league team

 

[niall1980]

Decent draw. Will be a good test.

 

[Ard Mhacha 13]

Fairly pleased with the draw & good to get a home match. A step up in quality but a match we can win if all goes to plan on the day. Delighted to have avoided meeting an Ulster team or Mayo.

 

[Sean Og]

My god, a home game. Where's that map to I find where Armagh is.
