Mayo gain nothing by backing Kildare here.

Nothing but goodwill from the non Mayo GAA public which while nothing huge it's no harm either.

Also would strenthen their hand should the same thing happen to them in the future.

I doubt anyone in Kildare would hold it against them. Mayo are sort of caught in the crossfire here. It's not their fault that Croke Park just assumed KCB would roll over and have their bellies tickled as they did when they gave up home advantage in 2012 in the qualifiers and 2013 in the league.

No I don't think anyone could blame Mayo for anything as the fact is they're not at fault in any way and Cian O'neill articulated that very well on the news there.

I agree and so do alot of other mayo fans I have been talking too this evening.

Same from the Mayo fans I've spoken to today.

Would be fantastic publicity for Mayo if they could come out and say they back Kildare with this. It's very obvious what way the public opinion is on the issue and I think it would be great for them to show some solidarity.

Not that they have to but turning up in Croker for a walk over would be bad form.

Just Joe being very liberal with his facts again.
However, this time someone has pulled him up on it.

To be fair, I think Brolly is right on this one, however himself and Antrim GAA don't see eye to eye.

Aye but either he was bullshitting about his role coaching Antrim to embellish his piece a few years ago or he's bullshitting now. Either way he's been caught out.

Somehow with Brolly I imagine he managed to bullshit both times. Epic douchebag

As much as I was looking forward to the double header I think Kildare are absolutely right. No other sporting organisation in the world would have the audacity to take pre-determined home advantage from two teams.

So if Tyrone, Monaghan and Armagh all win their games Tyrone are 50/50 to get Fermanagh in the 4th round game.

I'd settle for that tbf.

Kildare (rightly imo) playing hardball could put the brakes on this being played in Croker too. Would be awful having only this game on with maybe 10k people at it. Cavan should do the same and insist on the game being at Clones or Brewster.

As always I'm delighted to get to a Tyrone Cavan game as the wife is a Cavan woman and it's usually good craic in the build up to it. Fancy Tyrone by 4/5 points wherever it is played.

Everyone will be praying for Cork in r4

Don't be fooled as easily as last year lads..........

Had an average league. Lost to an average Monaghan, scraped past Meath and won handy against Carlow. Hardly getting excited.

Compared to last year where we whipped everyone km sight before Dublin.

What a load of bollocks. I hope you never listen to Jim Gavin talk before a game if you think that's hype.

What was that a black card for?

3rd man tackle... He knew exactly what he was doing!!

Plain to see the 2 lads commentating haven't played he game in years!

The collision was immediately after he laid it off.

It was in the same moment.. Defending that decision is crazy.

I'm not defending it. It was an awful decision.

Oh I know that you're not defending it. I'm on about the other buck here arguing.

I read load of press about the big challenge this would be... that's hype

Did you? Maybe share some of it for the rest if us. All I heard was predictions of a comfortable Tyrone win. That's what I said in this thread before the game.

You're talking shite.

He probably would have collided anyway but look again he saw the defender coming then dropped the shoulder into him.

And what would you have done as the big man mouthing about others not playing? Stayed wide open and got creased yourself? Clueless

Never a black or even a foul. He laid the ball of and collided with the player at the same time. Ref raping Cork here.

Who's hyping anything? What idiotic statements.
