According to GAA Rules a team not fulfilling a fixture must inform Croke Park 48 hours prior to the fixture and while the Co. Board has already informed the authorities they will not be travelling on Saturday, they must do so again 48 hours out from the time of the game.

Assuming that the Croke Park authorities then award the game to Mayo the appeal process will then kick in.

Kildare's next option will be to appeal to the Central Hearings Committee.

If that fails, the next step is to appeal to the Croke Park Appeals Committee.i

If that committee rejects the appeal then it would no doubt head to the DRA (Disputes Resolution Authority). This is a committee made up of legal experts, independent of the GAA and is usually the final appeal process but going to the High Court can never be ruled out either.

Don't forget Armagh have home advantage!!!

Kildare v mayo standout game, mayo with a lot of injuries kildare slowly building up a head of steam.
Home advantage to shade it for kildare???
As for the others Tyrone ,monaghan,Armagh.
Am I right in saying fermanagh and Monahan can't meet in round 4?

Unless mayo draw either Tyrone  or Monahan it looks very likely that these 3 will be definite for the super 8s.roscommon may be the only beaten finalist that may give a good account of themselves and that because of their good forwards.
Leitrim will be the team of choice in round 3 hope they get clare or offal who  wouldn't be too hard on them.i hope!!


Armagh
Mayo
Kildare
Cavan
Leitrim
Monaghan
Tyrone
Clare or  offaly

Tyrone cannot play Monahan in rd 3

All winners from round 2 out again next week.
Whew!! I hope the draw throws up a few crackers.
No possibility of Monahan v Tyrone in round three.

Big win for Monahan today similar to mayo against limericks lots of goals,does nothing for the losers.
Roll on round three where meaningful matches should arise, still could be surprises today.
Longford,tipp, Sligo.

Galway lads still celebrating Monday evening,they had a great night Sunday in taffes and busker Brown's.Spoke to a couple of the players yesterday evening and they still believed at half time they would go on and win.ross are very hard to beat at home they stated and it showed.They are meeting up tonight  for a review of the match and to go through the plans for the super 8s.

How was Comer not booked for the cheap shot on the Roscommon goalie?

It was a straight red card in any other sport, pretty late and no mitigating circumstances. The goalie should have undergone an independent HIA as well.

Definitely had a bearing on the game as his kickouts faded rapidly and poor decision making cost roscommon a score and loss of possession when game was in the balance.

Going to have a stab at picking next week winners which if correct could have some huge clashes in round 3.

Armagh
Mayo
Kildare
Cavan
Louth
Monaghan
Clare
Tyrone

Tyrone cannot play Monahan in rd 3

Tipp at home won't be easy,they were rightly pissed off for having to face cork a week after their beating of Waterford.
They will be well up for this game,Mayos bit of class should see them through but it will be a lot closer than the odds in bookies would suggest.i think longford could surprise kildare especially being at home.tyrone,Monahan certaintys it all makes the rd 3 draw very exciting with all the  top teams having to play each other.

The Meath v Tyrone match shows that in a knockout situation teams will raise their game.not many gave Meath any chance but they came so close.
Mayo done what they needed to do against limerick.
Derry put in a battling performance against kildare.
Waterford really got the day started with their win.
Looking forward to the draw on monday,it should throw up some novel pairings.waterford v leitrim or Sligo!!!

Today's u20 match reminded me of recent Galway v mayo encounters in that the better team on paper lost due to indiscipline.
the big difference is no qualifier route to redeem themselves.
well done to roscommon,should be a good final and more pressure on the limited tickets!😁

No doubt it will be back to the blanket for the rossies.Sligo could have been so much closer but wayward shooting cost them dearly.adrian Marren had the beating of kyne but couldn't get his hands on the ball.roscommon will target him too.roscommon forward unit a lot more potent than mayo and we picked up 3 yellow cards in the back line.what odds Galway will finish with 15?This I think will be the deciding factor in a tight match.

In fairness it will be round three before the cream of the qualifiers come to the top and then it gets interesting as the 8 winners of round 2 are pitted against each other.
still it's an interesting sideshow.i might be a bit more interested if my beloved Galway end up in round 2!!!😁

They said on the radio tipp were very bad, anything to do with the one week turn around?
