Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[From the Bunker]

Could not give a hoot if HQ have maintenance costs.

The rules of the qualifiers are clearly stated - Kildare are to have home advantage. Less than 24hrs from being given home advantage GAA turn around and try to take it away from them! There are no specified minimum number of fans that have to attend games so they should be allowed to play at home.

I don't like the idea that 4 out of the 8 teams in the draw get the advantage of playing a game at Croke Park. If Croke Park wanted the extra money then they should have thought about this beforehand.

The local communities in Cavan and Kildare will be losing out from the game moving.

Fair play to Kildare for sticking to their guns. It's doesnt sound like Kildare are going to back peddle in this and rightly so.

Good Post!

I see Willie Joe is making an embarrassment of himself as usual on MayoGAABlog.

Im fully behind Kildare here btw but Im finding this is great entertainment altogether.... when was the last DNF at county level.

The list of people to blame is hilarious

Sky
The Dubs
The suits

who else can we blame for it that I dont like...?

Brexit?
Isrealis?
Derry?

I'm surprised that Tyrone haven't been blamed saying as apparently every time there's something controversial in the GAA Tyrone seem to be blamed.

I blame them a bit.

Tipperary against Fermanagh in 2004, I'd say.

Fair play to Kildare. There 100% right to try and keep there home advantage.If Newbridge can accomodate both sets of season ticket holders then Newbridge it should be.They earned it the rules are the rules.Croke park HQ are to blame for this fiasco.Using the excuse of Mayo fans that might not get a ticket is pathetic they didnt give a shite about us when we were sent packing to Limerick.A statement from the Mayo co board to support Kildare would be nice but i wont hold my breath waiting for it.

Christy Moore is penning a song about this I reckon.

It's a very bad look for Mayo to remain silent on this.

Playing Kildare in Rd 3 of the 2013 qualifiers in Newbridge was one of the most competitive games of my career. I truly believe common sense will prevail here. Hopefully sooner than later.


Fair play to him. Ciaran Whelan on the other hand is tweeting about socks and clothes.
