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.

Leadership from Mayo is what's needed now.

How can they face sanctions when they have not broken any rules? If anyone has shown disregard for the rules it is the GAA itself.

Yes but this is the GAA we are on about. They do what they want.

The ones changing the rules need to realise the GAA is based on representatives from the 32 counties of Ireland. Not a bunch of knobheads in suits.

The guy that runs that blog is absolutely insufferable. Thankfully the Mayo posters on here are more sensible than that gombeen.

Not all members of the CCCC wear suits . One wears purple pullovers.

Say it all comes to a walk over for mayo because kildare hold their ground and gaa don't back down, is there any precedent  in place as to what sanctions kildare could likely face? Expulsion from competition which wouldn't mean much?,  fine? Suspensions? Although through appeals I'd be shocked at anything sticking

Exclusion from 2019 league & championship.

Really....please go ahead with it so as will help us greatly in division 2 next year!! Seriously though, it will never come to that, if it did and after appeals and what not all out strike from the players and gpa in support is the only way to hit back in support.

If they go with B, what happens to the Cavan/Tyrone game?

If the GAA had any sense, they'd play it in Clones.

[Maroon Manc]

No Round 4 qualifiers in Croke Park so can see why their so desperate to get the double header to Croker.

Before Willie Joe there was the man with a distrust of sunscreen:

David Gough appointed as ref.

Will he go to Croker or Newbridge?

[Square Ball]

Surely to god common sense will prevail and Kildare retain home advantage. Cant see much wiggle room for HQ given the rules for the draw. Take it then change the rules for next year. Or will good aul Health and Safety play a part? Watch tomorrows next eposide of the GAA v Kildare

Dear god, that logic is just bizarre. How many ticketless people do they expect to turn up to the turnstiles without tickets to get into a round 3 qualifier match, 6,000?

Trying to justify the decision on health and safety grounds is bulls**t. Will there be a crush at the turnstiles or crowd riots outside as the angry masses flock to Newbridge.

The argument that they want to allow as many people see the game as possible is also a fallacy since it is being shown live on Sky which prevents thousands from seeing the match on tv anyway. They have badly misjudged the public's mood on this and all of these bureaucrats coming out and doubling down on the original decision just shows how much they are out of touch.

Where does he get thi notion that thousands are going to riot in Newbridge or even turn up for that matter. Thousands are disappointed each year when they can't get All Ireland final tickets & there are no problems at the ground on the day.

As a mark of support can we all start flying Kildare flags at games from now on. It would be far more relevant that some of the flags that are flying.  I would love to see some fella being arrested for carrying one

We do that already, every umpire and linesman in the country is used to waving Kildare flags.

Anyone else not that sold on him? He gives so many soft frees which always appears to benefit the forward.

Until Kildare forwards started shooting at the umpires for much of Micko's time.

He'll be revving the engine in Citywest until he gets the call on Saturday.
