Maigh Eo v Ciarrai, 1700, 30ú Lúnasa, Gaelic Grounds

[Sidney]

In 1983 Pairc Ui Chaoimh got the All-Ireland semi-final replay and there was huge controversy over that. It was one of the greatest ever GAA occasions.

The Croke Park match experience has gone stale for regular match-goers. Next Saturday will be a 49,000 full house in the open air, beer, craic, and hopefully, if the sun shines, it'll be one of the greatest atmospheres we've seen for years.

Perhaps, although Kerry will have played there much more often than Mayo.
Of course, in the discussion about American football and so on the real reason for the game being in Limerick is that the precious Dubs couldn't be asked to leave Croke Park in the event of the a replay, they always play at home, so a move to the following Saturday is out.

We left Croke Park for the replay in 1983 and got on well enough. Diddums.

I'd love if we were. And so do most Dublin supporters.

Always worth paying the extra for the train.

Don't anger Roscommon men, Squire. They're as good at jabbing as D. Brady is at kissing.

Also heard Cake still backed Mayo at HT to comeback on the radio. Mad genius altogether.

Its posts like that that make me buy a packet of Hamlet cigars on all ireland final evening

Lyster shitting himself there with a bit of controversy from Brolly, who was bang on the money by the way

What did Joe say?

Saying that the Gaels of Ireland own Croke Park, That it was a disgrace that replay was in Limerick next week due to Croke Park being in use for American Football & that Gaa going down a dangerous road of money dictating everything

Aye, American feckin' football. Scheduling that load of shite in Croke Park at the busiest time of the year!

it is a complete insult to Mayo to ask them to play in Limerick.

Mayo county board sound dig their heels in and show the games scheduling committee for what they are a bunch of incompetent fools.
If the GAA was a corporation, that said committee would be brought in front of the board and promptly fired tomorrow morning.

what have they done this year, moved the Q/finals away from august bank holiday weekend. When Kildare player kicked the ball one foot over the bar at then end of extra time three weeks ago, The GAA were that far away from having to postpone both Q/finals the following week.

If Dublin drew their 1/4 final the replay would have been in Thurles with the muldoon loving Brooks playing his gigs in Croke Park, not our fault we won and the pension fund Brooks couldnt get his act together

Ah come on lads, Limerick is not that rough. Nothing to be afraid of.

Pardon me awfully old chap but WTF is this supposed to mean?

Mike,

iT is a munster venue. Right. Have Mayo ever played a championship there.

Picked the two most populous towns in each county.

Killarney to Limerick  109 km
Tralee to Limerick       101km

castlebar to limerick    165km
ballina to limerick        195km

Hawkeye not available, maybe not a big factor who knows.

bottom line it should be in Croke Park, no matter who ends up winning.

Smoking isn't healthy, is cool and makes it easier to get talking to interesting people. Interesting people are generally smokers.
