Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[Rossfan]

Ned Quinn's performance is indicative of the 'just do what you're told' attitude of HQ.
When his argument was picked apart he just started pulling stuff out of thin air in an attempt to justify his position.
They would want to get a handle on this asap.
I'm not sure they understand the depth of feeling there is out there, about this and many other issues.

I get the impression they think they're right and everybody else is wrong. Clearly they expected kildare to accept croke for the game without complaint. There's a dangerous precedent set now for the super 8's.

According to the Irish independent if roscommon win their qualifier their home game is against the dubs. What are the odds that gets switched by HQ as well

You'd want to change your paper buck.
If we get through our game v Dublin is in Croke Park August weekend.
Regarding super 8 venues you get a home game if your ground meets the requirements of the 4 Cs.
That will rule out a good few Counties.

If ever there was a time for everyone's favourite Kildare arsehole to make some noise it's now. Ewan now is your opportunity and surely Athy's Ger Gilroy and Celbridge's Joe Molloy will give him plenty of airtime.

Joe last night and Ger this morning didn't disappoint

Ewan straight in as well.

GAA have lost complete control of the narrative. Have not seen grassroots GAA across the country so united.

This is a re-run of the Curragh mutiny.

History is always sadly destined to repeat itself.

It's interesting how Cavan, and by extension Tyrone, have reacted quite happily to their game being moved to Croke Park.
I don't think people outside Leinster understand that plenty of us are sick of the sight of it and all it has come to represent in recent years.

The Kildare CB have the support of the majority of Kildare it seems. If they back down now the fans will turn against them and GAA will know they can get what they want.

Are the CCC actually mental?
How can you expect an attendance that exceeds the number of tickets you've sold by 6,000?
'obviously those two figures are not compatible.'
You can sing that, John.

Dear god, that logic is just bizarre. How many ticketless people do they expect to turn up to the turnstiles without tickets to get into a round 3 qualifier match, 6,000?

Trying to justify the decision on health and safety grounds is bulls**t. Will there be a crush at the turnstiles or crowd riots outside as the angry masses flock to Newbridge.

The argument that they want to allow as many people see the game as possible is also a fallacy since it is being shown live on Sky which prevents thousands from seeing the match on tv anyway. They have badly misjudged the public's mood on this and all of these bureaucrats coming out and doubling down on the original decision just shows how much they are out of touch.

Yeah, I remember going to Croke Park in the '00's and really enjoying the experience. I probably was a lot more innocent. Now I rather going to the small town Stadiums. The craic is better outside and inside. The atmosphere is better inside and outside.

Croke Park today represents the Home ground of a hugely dominant Dublin team. A county that is heading for two decades of dominance in Leinster and a decade of Dominance in Ireland.

Realistically, what is the cut-off point for resolving this?
Thinking of tickets, logistics etc.

Season tickets being charged tomorrow. I'm assuming clubs will have their tickets by then too.
Of course general sale has been running since yesterday online too. Time is running out tick tock tick tock...

[Jinxy]

So thus far we've had McGill, Quinn and Prenty making the situation progressively worse.
Where the hell is Tom Ryan?
If he's trying to act as an honest broker behind the scenes, fair enough, but the media response in general has been embarrassing.

John has bigger projects on his plate than annoying CCC duties, http://hoganstand.com/article/index/287022?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter.

John Prenty's finest hour. 
Always makes me smile.
