Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[giveballaghback]

Kildare will go the legal route, slap an injunction on Croke Park and the whole gaa schedule is up in the air, thats the only way they will be listened to, if its not solved by lunchtime tomorrow the fun starts.

Can they do that? As Kildare CB is a unit of the GAA can they actually get an injunction against themselves?

I simply don't buy the health & safety argument, it's a red herring to deflect from the real reason which comes down to revenue and 'product' presentation.

Kildare v Mayo in a jam-packed Newbridge would be a far superior "product" to Kildare v Mayo in a quarter-full Croke Park.

As would be Cavan v Tyrone in Enniskillen compared to playing that game in Croke Park.

[Syferus]

Fair play to Kildare. There 100% right to try and keep there home advantage.If Newbridge can accomodate both sets of season ticket holders then Newbridge it should be.They earned it the rules are the rules.Croke park HQ are to blame for this fiasco.Using the excuse of Mayo fans that might not get a ticket is pathetic they didnt give a shite about us when we were sent packing to Limerick.A statement from the Mayo co board to support Kildare would be nice but i wont hold my breath waiting for it.

It's a very bad look for Mayo to remain silent on this.

What would you suggest??? Our county board are gobshites

Just going to bat for what's right for a change, taking stock of the bigger picture and the shallow grave the GAA is lurching ever closer to and saying enough is enough.

Let's be real, no matter where it's played this is likely to be a straightforward win for Mayo anyways.

We both know theres a very slim chance of that happening.The majority of mayo fans ive spoken with today are fully behind Kildare and dont want Mayo to accept a walkover if it comes to that.

Just read Willie Joe's piece on the blog. I may have read the last paragraph wrong, and apologies if I've misinterpreted, but did he actually just refer to Cian O'Neill and Kildare people as travellers?

I don't see this as an easy win for Mayo.  They have lost their starting midfield, playing 2 weeks in a row, Tipp had them on the ropes.  Kildare were in div 1 don't forget.  I expect a very close game.

Being part of something or a unit of a bigger entity does not disqualify you from having issues with the overall administration of that organisation especially if they break their own rules and this adversely effects the part you have responsibility for.

Unfortunately Sy our county board tend to keep quiet even when our own team is affected so don't expect them to change anytime soon!!

Carlow hammered Kildare a few weeks ago. Mayo are vulnerable in the Quailifers but not to a team short on belief, which is exactly what Kildare are. This could be tight for 55 or even 65 minutes and in the end Mayo will do their usual trick of winning it, likely by around two scores. Tipp are a better team than Kildare IMHO.

Just read Willie Joe's piece on the blog. I may have read the last paragraph wrong, and apologies if I've misinterpreted, but did he actually just refer to Cian O'Neill and Kildare people as travellers?

Fellow travellers, a derogatory term for people with communist sympathies.

The hot weather has helped cause this revolutionary outburst from the stricken GAA proletariat.

I understand that. I'm asking if legally one unit can take an injunction against another unit of the same organisation.

Read his comments on that article. It makes anything in the OP seem tame.

Jesus Christ first Cillian O'Connor and now poor Willie Joe!! Have you never heard the term fellow travellers?
Let me put it in a sentence for you, when it comes to Cillian O'Connor's status as a marquee forward yourself and say Syferus would be fellow travellers!!
