Bet if the motion wasn't passed you'd have plenty of moaning from the "I hate Gah" Brigade.
And they'd all be asking to use the Grounds then of course.

Could Munster use the Gaelic Grounds or Pairc ui Chaoimh now for a home country venue?
Would be great to have an under-20 Ireland Rugby international in McHale Park!

What? Eh? What's that? Silence... yes that's what I thought I heard from you, Damien Duff, ya wee p***k.
As I said earlier the "Hate Gah" lot will be disgusted this proposal was passed.
Not at all. They'll just fall back on 'lookit how much they want to charge us. It's a disgrace Joe'.

European semi final where they have home country advantage. Thomond Park is too small for that as per ERC.

Er, my point was that Damien Duff was criticising the GAA about the PUC/Liam Miller match. So, he's unlikely to take to the media to praise this.

You could (like the majority) have seen this as a positive move and a step forward for the GAA. Instead you post a bitter, bizarre rant that made no sense to anyone but you.
I'm sure Damien Duff would complement the GAA on the decision if he was asked though

Where did I say it was a negative move?
Duff is anti-GAA, any excuse to bash them. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him commenting on it.

Anti GAA? His position was no different to the overwhelming majority of GAA folk. Some objected to the tone, different story.
But it is odd that your first reaction is to argue against a strawman anri soccer position. I cannot see what soccer games will be played on what county grounds.

If he knew anything about the GAA, he would've knew the rule was in place. Yes it made sense that 40,000 attended instead of 5,000 or whatever. But there was no need to attack the GAA in such a vile, spiteful way.
If anything, he should have directed his venom towards the FAI, who have done feck all with all their millions they've earned over the years, and whose stadia are years behind that of the GAA.
There was none of this with Anto Finnegan's match. Ravenhill didn't stage GAA games, but nobody lambasted Ulster rugby anout letting the match take place there. Obviously, it was all done quietly and with a bit of respect, and Ulster weren't guilt-tripped into it.

Grow up lad. This has been done to death before and the thread had to closed due to some of the B.S. posted.

Your points were all addressed in the Liam Miller thread as I pointed out. No need to rehash them here.
Your obvious hatred of all things soccer is entirely your right even if most people had moved on from that stupid anti foreign sports mentality.

And if you followed the story you would know that rule 42 was waived by the Cork CB to get European funding. Done to death.
Are loi grounds behind county grounds these days? Some are, but many arent. I think those days are long gone.
Ulster Rugby dont have a rule. It was a simple request. As now the county grounds are. But who will request them? Rugby in Galway when they redo their hall, maybe. Soccer? Cant think of one potential.
Payment in advance vital if renting to Soccer.
This rule change is about 20 years to late. Most of the county grounds around the country are lumps of Concrete with an excuse of a Hay-shed as a Stand. The GAA missed the boat before the redevelopment of Thomond Park and Landsdowne. Money for Jam over the winter months, But the GAA where to up their own holes worried about ancient rules to see the financial benefits. The development of Pairc ui chaoimh is a white elephant that will hardly justify it's expenditure in relation to games and improved revenue. We have the same white elephant in Mayo with McHale Park. It has never got even near capacity for any game and has only 4 to 6 intercounty games a year. There is never a backdoor game with neutral counties scheduled to play there! Any of Mayo's big games over the summer end up in Croke Park.
Any truth to the rumor that the national ploughing championship will now be in Pairc hi Caoimh this year????

I doubt it. They surveyed all the season ticket holders and I believe the vast majority wanted to stay in the city centre. Hard to blame them. It's a great location. Also no lights in Pearse and the residents have opposed installing lights there before.
Might be a different matter if they struggle to raise the finances to redevelop the Sportsground though.
