Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[seafoid]

I think Croke Park is a problem as well. The revamp was great but it takes an awful lot of money to feed it.

This is the problem. Its a white elephant that is unnecessary for 95% of games.

The debt has already been paid off. Seafoideen behind the times as usual.

The GAA are greedy but it's got feck all to do with the one world class stadium they have.

CP has maintenance costs. It has employees who need work. It's not about debt. It's about prestige and squeezing as much revenue as possible out of it

Anyone who thinks that Sky's needs weren't considered needs to take their heads out of the sand. Of course they don't ultimately set the fixtures but when they pump millions into GAA coffers it's only normal that their needs be considered when setting fixtures and scheduling.

Sad to say it but your right.

Ah kildare. Always doing right by the gaa, apart from that one time. Anyway I'm going to enjoy watching this play out. God knows I've nothing else to look forward to this week.

Tyrone are no great shakes, Itchy.
Sure they needed a dodgy ref to beat us.

Very proud of Cian O'Neill this evening. Spoke for the entire Kildare GAA community.

If we have to give a walkover so be it. Someone has to say enough is enough.

+1.  Dublin and the GAA heirarchy have dined out on the paying customers through Croke Park gates for long enough.   We pay for Dublin players not to have to do a days proper work and the top brass to feed at the trough every year.

Seriously though I hear Dublin players don't work thing all the time but can anyone give me a specific example of this? I know Kevin McMenamin runs his own company so at least one of them must have a real job. Philly Mac has his own gym same as Andy Moran. Doesn't Cian O'Sullivan work for PWC?

Bernard Brogan is part owner of the Pillo Hotel in Ashbourne. (I'm told it's a family concern.)  Ciaran Kilkenny, Clucko and Michael Darragh are teachers and I don't know a single one who doesn't have a job of some sort.
Ya should give credit where it's due.

Praying Kildare don't take a backhander. They'd be fond of the lucre down there... ho hum

Uh, the vast majority of them are only paid and working on match days. If there's no match on Jimmy who serves the burgers isn't getting paid. Don't turn this in yet another socialist thing.

The heats getting to you fella! Sometimes better to sleep on these things

[SouthDublinBro]

This board is precious. Some of you have managed to find a way to blame the Dublin team and players for this.

You must have been Googling furiously if the best you could come up with is a barely relevant article from 16 years ago. Do you actually think it doesn't most much more to 'run' Croke Park on a match day than it does when all it's doing is bringing tourists up to the Skywalk, which was my point? Like c'mon, you didn't think you could a pull a fast one on this did you?

[seafoid]

I wonder who will do the negotiating .

[sambostar]

Have Kildare not given up home advantage willingly for league games against the Dubs in recent years? They can't pick & choose when it suits them to play in Croke Park.

Hard to see the GAA rowing back now, likely tickets have been distributed & printed to 4 county boards already & need to be given out to clubs 2mro night for distribution

Why can't they pick and choose?
