Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[Syferus]

Just read Willie Joe's piece on the blog. I may have read the last paragraph wrong, and apologies if I've misinterpreted, but did he actually just refer to Cian O'Neill and Kildare people as travellers?

Fellow travellers, a derogatory term for people with communist sympathies.

The hot weather has helped cause this revolutionary outburst from the stricken GAA proletariat.

Read his comments on that article. It makes anything in the OP seem tame.

Amnt seeing anything from him, what was he saying?

He's basically blaming Kildare and saying Croke Park are fully justified doing this, in the most obnoxious why possible. This was long after all the details came out. Not just a doing a Pontious Pilate on it, but actively going to bat for the money grabbers.

Good man I like that, much better than my attempt at an explanation!!

A bit of socialism is exactly what the GAA need

No fan of the WillieJoe Blog but for anybody to say he is calling Kildare people travelers is crazy.He has an opinion on the whole shambles and thats all it is and he does make some fair points about the Kildare county board that a lot of people do not like around here.For me the game should be played in Newbridge but trying to say the Mayo county board should get involved in the mess is very unfair.Also just wondering if Syferus could take a break from this thread for the rest of the week and let the adults discuss the ins and outs of this debacle

Bernard Flynn not impressed with Cian.

@bernardflynn15

OK let's call a spade a spade ,and anyone who really knows down deep the way really good teams and managers work .....would ask the question tonight " WHAT IN GODs NAME WAS CIAN O NEIL DOING ON TV TONIGHT" #eyeofftheball

I like Bernard Flynn and listened to him on 2FM earlier where his opinion seemed to flip flop about 3 or 4 times during the course of the interview. He's a sensationalist and I wouldn't take him too seriously as he sometimes goes off on tangents but I'd say he'd be good craic on a night out!

Sensationalist my arse, he is stupid.
The flip flopping is par for the course.
I am surprised he was able to spell o Neill's name correctly,
Oh wait he didn't  shocker

It's quite late 😂 so I as I've said I probably misread it

You sit here and defend Willie Joe and have the neck to talk about adults discussing this debacle

Syferus would you ever f-ck off and do not ruin another thread with your waffle.

Just report the offending posts......

Or ignore if you want.

[ballinaman]

Eoin Rochford the collateral damage in all this...trying to sort logistics for two venues !

As regards to the RTE news segment, Cian O Neills ego knows no bounds.

[Owen Brannigan]

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.

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.

Did he not blame Mickey Harte?

What was the reason Waterford were not allowed play home games in Munster hurling this year? Was there actually something wrong with the stadium or was it capacity related?

Is 50/50 the fair way to split ticket allocations if games are played where demand exceeds supply? Or should the home team get a bigger slice?

[Kurtz]

Fair play to Kildare for wanting to host the match

This health n safety lark is a cop out

Is there not a hotel in Cashelbar called the Traveller's Friend?
Maybe Willie Joe is not friendly with travellers.
