                                              Sorry but I cannot get my head around the way qualifiers pan out and dont have time to figure it out so unfortunately it looks like i will not be getting an entry in now.

                                              Since I agreed to be a player I'm still happy will still honour the entry fee.

                                                No problem Busta, certainly wouldn't expect you to pay if you are not entering as you only expressed an intention to .

                                                On the qualifiers my reading of it is that the a&b aspect of it is to try and keep teams from the same provinces from drawing each other. So you are probably just picking what you think are the best 4 teams ( 2 in hurling ) from all those that you don't think will qualify for the provincial finals.

                                                Personally I think it weighs it heavily in favour of the Ulster teams in football as they have a higher class of side going out early compared to other provinces.

                                                Interesting discussion on Off the ball tonight suggesting that division 3 & 4 teams should only be drawn against each other in the qualifiers with one of them being guaranteed a 1/4 final spot.

An absolute mess and are there for the taking if Galway can man the fuck up and actually convince themselves to beat them.

I know Ruislip can be a tricky place to go to for various reasons but I was a bit underwhelmed by Roscommons performance last week.

Its a pity they didnt put the football on first ,must be hard having to play such a big game in an almost empty stadium.

                                                                                            I'd like to see the hurlers pull a big crowd, but in Dublin football will always get the head of the table. Have seen plenty of them over the years but there was something special about the two semi-finals against Tipp and Cork. It was great to see such a big crowd for a Dublin hurling match.

                                                                                            Dublin haven't lost against Galway in 4 championship outings and gave them an almighty hiding in 2013. The team look in really good shape and if Danny Sutcliffe had played v Cork and the team hadn't been so naive they'd have been in the league final.

                                                                                            Canning missing is a mixed bag. Easier to plan for Galway when you're 100% sure who they're always looking to give the ball to. Might make some of the rest of that team actually remember they're quality hurlers. You can never tell which Galway will show up. They could fucking batter anyone on their day but their days are too rare. Dublin racked up some really nice scoring averages in the league and that was with a nightmarish first 2 games. I think they tapered off near the end of the league in anticipation of having a tough opener in Leinster.

                                                                                            I'd happily back Dublin -3 in this game to be honest. Galway need to play at top gear to beat Dublin which is both a measure of how far Dublin have come and how much Galway rely on Canning. Galway won't score enough goals to stay in it and they don't score enough points to live without goals.

                                                                                              Dublin hurlers capitulation has cost a few potential points also.

                                                                                              More points up for grabs this weekend with football semi finals in Munster and Connacht .

                                                                                                  Roscommon have made huge strides but I still think it'll be a year or two yet before they get to Mayos level.
