Congrats to Kildare got their home game like they deserve to and didn't allow GAA HQ money men dictate things.

Yeah, I'm sure it took some serious convincing for him to go to the World Cup, where he is treated like royalty alright.
Quote from: macdanger2 on June 27, 2018, 12:27:51 AMI remarked about the Mayo bench before the game, saying it was not as strong as it should be. B Moran,B Harrison,D Vaughan,N Douglas are all now expected to return on Saturday which should make the bench a bit stronger.
Just as an aside, we only had one point off the bench in this match despite getting the last 9 scores of the game which does not bode well for us

Quote from: MayoBuck on June 26, 2018, 09:58:35 PMAnd 4/1 for the game to be played in Croke park now.
The odds of the game being switched to Newbridge have been slashed to 1/5. Do Paddy Power know something?

I just don't understand why the management team want to play the game in Newbridge
1. They haven't won there for a year
2. I was at the Kildare Mayo league match and it was pretty full. If Mayo use their full complement of season tickets then there is no point even looking for a ticket because they'll be like Hen's teeth
3. Kildare's only chance of winning this game is by running the legs off an ageing Mayo team but instead they want to play it in a smaller pitch than Croke. I would have said Yes to croke park but we want to play the game at 3 in the heat of the day. An evening match will suit Mayo even more.
Conversely you could argue that 90% of Mayo's good performances over the past 5 years have come at Croke Park. It's everywhere else where they have looked vulnerable. Even at home in Castlebar.
Especially at home, terrible record there. I'd genuinely have our home game played in croker

If you read his posts then you are likely looking to be offended, I avoid mostly but hear him on the Mayo News podcast who have some good people on board. Read some Facebook comments by Galway fans (mostly avoidable), cringe at the 3 billboards outside Manulla (unavoidable), etc and make your choices.Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on June 26, 2018, 01:13:28 PMThe guy that runs that blog is absolutely insufferable.

Mayo happy to play 'wherever we're told to go'

Watery enough but probably wise not to add fuel to the fire.
More sense than Willie Joe has thankfully.

Have no issue with game being played in Newbridge, better atmosphere and craic to be had. Major disadvantages for me is the poor viewing with a crowd present along with so many people who will miss out with the limited capacity but that's not reason enough to go to Croke park.
What happens now if game reverts to Newbridge to those Ticketmaster tickets if place is over subscribed?
Mayo news podcast is a really good listen, one of the better podcasts around; Thankfully WJ doesn't have a huge input it when I've listened. He has a very high opinion of himself.

Ronaldo lucky. How could it be a yellow?
There was nothing in it. Iranian went down as if he was shot.

for the last 23 years they have been ubable to host a leinster championship game and now they are moaning and bitching about having a ga me move .
there is only one bad guy here and that the Kildare Gaa family .
seeing as wel live in la la land it is easy to accuse Kildare of financial doping by spending all their money on development and ignored theor facilities not to mention expensive imports like seanie Johnston.
knowing full well that all latge dames would be played in croke plark anyway , now its time to pay the piper
Just as well Mayo live within their means and don't go around the world scrounging and getting interest free loans for the worst €20m+ stadium in the world. Must have missed all whinging and moaning over the Limerick venue too, imagine whinging over a venue!!! And still no All-Ireland's for all their millions spent. No wonder Dublin supporters laugh at bitter Mayo supporters.
Why have you such a hard on for Mayo.
We didn't switch the venue.
Most travelling Mayo supporters would have preferred a packed Tullamore with a great atmosphere as opposed to a 1/3 full Croke park.
I know that, every group has a clown, Rosnaruin is your unfortunately.
Quote from: Jinxy on June 25, 2018, 02:39:40 PMCorrect and Round 3 games are meant to have home advantage. GAA making up things as they go along.Quote from: Mac2 on June 25, 2018, 02:37:00 PM
Real bad form this and you'd wonder did KCB have this sort of agreement already in place. Supporters kicked up a fuss about Mayo v Kerry replay in Limerick a few years back but the county board had already agreed to it well before then.
To be fair, that game was moved from one neutral venue to another neutral venue.
Apples & oranges.
Quote from: Mayo4Sam on June 25, 2018, 10:11:07 AMDublin. I take it you have no interest in underage games so.
Who did we play in the U-21 semi?
Quote from: Mayo4Sam on June 25, 2018, 09:52:50 AMYou didn't attend the All Ireland U21 semi final in 2016 or All Ireland minor quarter final 2013 there? Kildare were already beaten in Tullamore this year by Carlow and will hardly be in a hurry to go back to that venue?
It would be a pain in the bollix with traffic. Not sure I've ever been to a match in Tullamore
