The only thing I'm suggesting changing from the Tyrone is to have 2 chances of staying up instead of one because of the dual. Everything else the same.
Where you finish in the league matters to your first round knockout championship game/avoiding relegation. Thats a huge carrot.
As they say, Don’t ...

Re: Club Football 2026
Good point.
I would still like to think it would help dual clubs. They could play both, but if one got knocked out early, the other would have a greater chance of going far/winning technically speaking. Maybe there would be more fallouts, but that's just my own personal opinion on it.
I can ...

Re: Club Football 2026
Of course there are downsides like anything Kevin.
But I definitely do think there are more upsides. Especially the current state of championship with loads of shadow boxing, no jeoprady, 4 in a row winners in both codes, and as you said the poorest league to go with it.
So surely, there has to be ...

Re: Club Football 2026
Tullamore were beaten twice in the group. By Rhode & Ferbane.
I use not to be in favour of the knockout, but seeing how stale our championship has gone in both codes, not to mention the irrelevancy or importance of our leagues. I think something like Tyrone's championship has to be replicated to ...

Re: Club Football 2026
I wasn’t aware of this.
That surely can be changed. Sounds like a ridiculous rule.
How many dead rubber games happen every year that draw small attendances

Re: Club Football 2026
Would you believe Anon444 I came on to this forum to raise the point of the Tyrone championship.
The scenes around Edendork online the last few days and the magic of that championship.
Never a back to back winner and 10 different winners the last 20 years. Wow is all I can say.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling 2026
A terrible county final.
Both sets of teams rolling around looking for frees, particularly Ballinamere. Not helped by whistle friendly Reff.
No more than Tullamore last week, KK probably the weakest they’ve been in 4 years and still won without looking like going into top gear.
4 in a row for ...

Re: Club Football 2026
Tullamore fully deserved their win yesterday.
They just don’t seem to have any weakness on their team. Someone gets injured, it’s next up to play that role.
Ferbane on the other hand have some excellent players, but do seem to have weak links.
I’m baffled by their decision not to start Oisin ...

Re: Club Managers 2024
Admittedly, as a PROUD DURROW MAN, I have developed a soft spot for Ferbane who I see as the only team capable of beating my noisy Tullamore neighbours. But I can assure you if Ferbane were playing Durrow there’s only one team I’d be supporting!!

Re: Club Managers 2024
Would George Digan include Colin Kenny in his package? If so, I'd fancy Ferbane next year to win the Dowling.
I hear Joe Maher and Ronan Maguire are going back now that rafferty is gone. Plus I'd imagine David Dunican the goalie and the Corcoran chap would aslo return because George would have ...

Re: Club Football 2026
On the intermediate.
I’d really be hoping for a Brigids win.
The way Edenderry have brought back ex senior players and players who were away from the summer as soon as they got into the knockout stages was shocking really.
They’ll get promoted up to senior b and all those players will flee and ...

Re: Club Football 2026
If Ferbane lose another final it could really scar them lads.
Think this is their best chance to win it. Bigger around the middle and should score more up front.
A 4 in a row loss along with their hurlers losing 6/7 semi finals narrowly they’d have to question everything.
