You see the two All-Ireland finalists this year and the semi-finalists.

You have two groups of six at either side that are mixed.

Everyone is guaranteed five games.

In the All-Ireland Series... Look... An awful lot of people... Will go mad over that... They'll say... The Munster Round Robin... Is going so well... The Munster Round Robin... Is going so well... You could still have... Your Munster Championship lads... You see Cork and Kerry... The crow blow the weekend... You see the... The passion in Roscommon... The Provincial Championship lads... Have over 100 years history... Behind them... I couldn't see why... If you had a... An old school... Provincial Championship... In April...

You know, if you lost your quarterfinal, you're just getting ready for the other one to start if there's enough time in that.

I'm not even saying I bring this in.

I'm just saying that seems like if you do want to help the likes of Kildare, you know, whatever, that you will have... One of you said to have a five in one side in Munster with no relegation and to have a seven at the other side with possibly two relegated teams or whatever it is.

Like five and seven is just odd.

It'll probably have to go six and six if there is a change.

You know, I just think possibly in terms of numbers wise, two sixes, look, I don't feel qualified to even be talking about this, but you know, you'd have your two sixes, mixed groups between the two and the bottom one from either side would face off in relegation.

and coming up I don't know look that's for a lot of other people to discuss but there is an enormous you know unfairness that Munster has no relegation and Leinster does that's just it is it does feel fundamentally unfair when you have two provinces and one has relegation and one doesn't saying that Pat and I'm a Leinster man it's fundamentally unfair that Munster is a lot stronger than Leinster now and

Whereas the Munster winners... A Leinster team hasn't won the All-Ireland since 2017, so it's not impacting the Munster counties that are getting through.

No, three different Munster counties have won the last three All-Irelands, so it's not impacting them too negatively when they get out.

and you know it's like even if Watford got out this year they would fancy themselves to go on and win the All-Ireland that's what they believe if they got into an All-Ireland quarterfinal they'd say we are going to go down here we'll get to Croke Park like what Tip done last year out of the blue so look there's a lot in it you could probably have a separate episode for that Mick to be honest I think we'll save this chat lads for maybe the offseason a bit more we are all in agreement that some solution has to come to help Kildare stay in this championship Kildare have three big players coming back next year there's Cian Boar and James Burke and there's David Quilter

Qualter yeah yeah yeah like there's three starters for them that they were missing you know that they were missing the last day so imagine the three of them coming in next year and you know the growth they've had this year and even one of their best players is Brian Byrne who's playing with the footballers at the minute and some of them

Some of their, sorry about the introduction you gave me, but some of their players are realists.

Rean Boren, full-back, McCabe, midfield.

Some of these fellas are serious hurlers.

I couldn't get over Rean Boren, full-back, getting two points in the first 10 minutes.

One of them, he cut out a goal chance in his own goal and he just ran on with it and then he just got the ball, he's over 65 and he was like, this is going one place now, boomtown.
