Jaysus absolutely lipping for a ticket on Sunday, but having no joy....would really appreciate any lead

- genuine Galway fan and hurling coach.

Kildare lost that game today because of 3 occasions in which an advantage which accrued was not applied and the play was called back.

So given the relative success of the self-policing of the mark, why not, in a similar fashion for fouls, have the ref blow the whistle in the event of a foul, then have the fouled team/player decide themselves if they want the advantage, within a 5 second window....that way they could play on if they wanted. If they want to take the free, they simply stop and raise their hand.

Controversy over AND justice served

Whadyye think?

Had tickets for the lower Cusack yest - 25 rows back but directly in the deluge anyway.... Actually snaffled some sheltered seating for the second game, so didn't get completely soaked.

Anyway, it does strike me as somewhat cruel to leave paying punters sitting in the passing rain, when there were 20,000 perfectly covered seats in the upper tier that could have been opened at only the cost of a couple of extra stewards..

I think this is particularly relevant for double headers.. Nobody sitting further forward stayed for both games, as they were sodden after 15 mins.

... Appreciate it might look poor on the telly if the pitch side seats are empty, but they were for the most part anyway, and whatabout looking after your customers first....

I'd really appreciate getting ticket for Sunday if anyone had a spare. Would be heartbroken to miss out next Sunday having come so close the last time.

Thanks for a pm if you've any prospects...I'll travel up on spec anyway on Sunday, so it's never have too late to call.
