Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[Hound]

At the same time nothing. Kildare were drew out first and therefore have home advantage as the rules state. If the GAA had an issue with the Kildare county ground regarding holding matches they should have made it known long prior to now.

Yep, if it was Kildare v Leitrim, the game would be on in Newbridge, no questions asked. The GAA were giving Mayo an advantage because they are so well supported. Similar to the Wicklow v any other Leinster team bar the Dubs would have gone ahead in Aughrim.

This should all be set out by the GAA prior to the draw, instead of hoping for the best. Likewise the super 8 should be set in stone.

If the CCCC give Mayo the walkover then Kildare should burn the whole championship to the ground.

''Hoping for the best'' done the trick up to now! But counties are getting fed up of being second class citizens to the Chosen Dubs. Super 8 has been put in place to accommodate bored Dublin supporters and their media.

The only time Dublin have been disgruntled by a fixture was in 2001 when Maurice floated that free over the bar in Thurles and a lot Dubs got lost on the way down and home

That was for a draw. Replay was played in Thurles also. Kerry were raging hot favourites and a much better team, big surprise Dubs got a draw first day out.
Dubs weren't provincial champions, Kerry were, no complaints at all from Dublin re the venue.

Dubs hurlers got done last year, drawn at home for a qualifier game, but it was moved to Thurles as part of double bill on basis Parnell couldn't hold anticipated crowd.

Parnell isn't really yer home ground anymore

Very good, too obscure for most of them but very good all the same.

I've read the same thing in Twitter about a dozen times today. Was funny the first time.

I saw the great Willie McCreery being interviewed in his yard earlier.
Himself and the horses were fully behind Kildare.
