Croke Park will only become neutral when Dublin build a new stadium, as has been rumoured for a while now.  This hurling match could be played in Phoenix Park for all anyone cares.  Tipp will win either way.  I understand that if the rules say it should be a neutral venue, then so be it but surely common sense,  (yeah I know, common sense on the GAA is up there along with magic beans and earth being flat!!) should dictate a double header and  a big crowd in Thurles.  Maybe the Dubin players are happy gong down to Thurles for a double header, why not test yourself against the best in their back yard.  All of Leinster does it for the football most days.

I agree mate, no problem with the Venue myself.

My problem is with clowns who start up stupid threads.

Ger Cunningham (the Dublin hurling manager for you all you Nordies) is from Cork , he's not a Dub, and he's not happy about it.

The fascination with all things Dublin continues. Another thread on Dublin, perhaps it would be better to start up a Dublin thread in January every year, and just post your bias and hatred there.

2 separate sports, different teams and generally different supporters, the qualifiers are meant to be neutral venue as highlighted in the bi-laws, for example Tipp played Offaly in Portlaiose in 2014. If the Dublin footballers went through the qualifier route more often then you might see more neutral venue otherwise the games get fixed home and away.

The GAA make the fixtures, not Dublin.

Croke Park in meant to be neutral.

Grow up.

As a neutral, its look to me that its a testament to Connollys playing ability and greatness that is no so much talk on this forum, 41 pages in the height of championship on a nothing incident.

He has made mistakes on and off the field but based solely on this incident and taking nothing else into consideration its very harsh on him.

Id say he is still training and he will start the semi final if Dublin reach it.

Its the busiest weekend in the championship so far, i think its time to move on, the championship has been great so far IMO.
