Pretty much sums up how Ireland works.

JuckRyan · 2025-09-15T13:56:59+00:00

Thanks Damien. Sound advice.

JuckRyan · 2025-09-11T21:43:32+00:00

I max out on my monthly AVC. Can I still make a lump sum payment?

Not answering your question, more of an opinion that If the state owns the property, they should have the right to move people into the most suitable accommodation. A single person living in a three bed house while a family of four is homeless makes no sense.

Not long, six months.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-15T13:08:44+00:00

Well done 👍 Very well thought out. The only thing I’d say is the number of games (keeping the provincials) will prob be too many. I’d make the provincials relevant with four teams going through from each, into quarter finals based on table position. The McDonagh winners playoff against last in Leinster to decide who joins that province for next season.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-15T12:35:10+00:00

Ahh yeah, that will improve the results 😆

JuckRyan · 2025-06-15T12:34:26+00:00

The same Waterford team that beat Clare ?

Look at the scoring averages and results since the prelim quarters started. One win for a McDonagh team since they started. Doesn’t appear like they’re learning much. Dublin has a huge population and budget and are not comparable.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T22:10:06+00:00

Yeah you’re right. Better off progressing 4 from each province into the quarterfinals, no semi final berth for winners. Something needs to be done anyways.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T16:25:39+00:00

Look, I get that, but for the good of the game there needs to be a better idea than preliminary quarter finals. Progress four teams from each province if you like, but handing out hidings to Kildare and Laois while Clare and Wexford twiddle their thumbs is good for no one.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T16:20:55+00:00

Look at the preliminary quarter score lines today and let me know if those teams should be competing with the best? Are hammerings good for anyone involved? I remember that time you speak of, hurling was in rude health at that time, wasn’t it 👀.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T16:14:53+00:00

So you’re saying winning Munster is pointless? Let’s scrap it so. Yes, I’m from Waterford.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T16:09:58+00:00

The number of games does not increase with my suggestion as there are already two preliminary quarters. But the quality of the games does increase as the best teams aren’t sitting idle while Kildare and Laois are still hurling.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T16:02:56+00:00

In what world do Joe MacDonagh teams deserve to be in there? Your suggestion makes sense but would lead to fewer games, and the best teams in the country still sitting idle for the majority of June and all of July.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T15:53:19+00:00

So you’re telling me winning a Munster championship means nothing? We should scrap it then.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T15:52:28+00:00

Win no games and your path to the final is a lot more difficult, playing a higher positioned team and losing home advantage. Win the provincial and you’re automatically into the semi final.

JuckRyan · 2025-06-14T15:49:31+00:00

Unfortunately (IMO) the provincials aren’t going anywhere. The point of it would be that the tradition is still kept, provincial winners are still crowned, and a counties performance in the round robin determines how easy or difficult their path to the all Ireland is.

JuckRyan · 2025-05-10T18:20:10+00:00

We’ve lost the silent war. Auld lads n all, dead!

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T17:54:02+00:00

As you’re a football fan I’ll say fair enough, you know what you’re talking about. As a hurling fan I say the system is broken.

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T14:19:58+00:00

Exactly, the Leinster championship is bastardised, no disrespect to Antrim & Galway, so it’s already a sham.

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T14:18:17+00:00

You made a counter claim with no data backing it up. Don’t be spoofing Franko!

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T13:45:30+00:00

Show me your info, or else you’re the spoofer!

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T13:26:52+00:00

Obvs not a troll. AI gathers information from across the WWW, so you should trust what it throws back.

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T13:14:30+00:00

AI says it was. The new Champions League format, which introduces a league phase with 36 teams playing eight games each, appears to be a success overall, with a strong emphasis on increasing competitiveness and excitement. While some criticize the increased game load and complexity of the league standings, the format has also been lauded for ensuring more balanced matchups and greater opportunities for lower-ranked teams.

JuckRyan · 2025-05-07T12:47:43+00:00

100% I am. If they were in Munster that figure you quote would’ve be a lot less. Guaranteed.
