Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[Under Lights]

Hopefully Donegal kick up a fuss about Dublin having two home games in the super 8s

[Jinxy]

Who are these "genuine GAA people"?
Will we only let fully paid up members into games any more?

People who give a sh*t about the wider implications of the decisions made by HQ and how they affect all of us.

You can be a "Genuine" GAA person and disagree about how Kildare handled this. What Croke Park did was not without precedent since they already moved Wicklow's home game this year. I would have thought that moving the game to a venue which could cater for the expected attendance made perfect sense - be it Portlaoise or Croke park. Kildare stood up to "Big Bad Croke Park" - no - they held Croke Park to ransom by threatening to not field. Maybe Kildare will now refuse access to SKY cameras because that's what the "genuine" GAA person wants.

It's not all about you.

That Wicklow Dublin game was fixed by the Leinster Council who I would expect are all  "genuine GAA people".

[Jinxy]

Look, your side lost today.
As the Americans would say, "Take the L" and move on.

Don't know where you get that silly idea that they're "my side".

No, they are not. They are self serving. Provincial councils are a dinosaur, and utterly pointless in this age. The type of individual who gets involved at this level is the individual their own clubs wouldn't let run a bake sale. The best run arms of the organisation are clubs, and there is a reason for that. Genuine GAA people putting in hard work for the love of it, and nothing else.

Ballaghadereen... we know you're really a Mayo man deep down

Christ Jinxy - I thought you were better than that

I agree with that. I don't know why it hasn't been addressed already

Your one and only concern in all of this was your ability to bring a few kids to the game.
Can you genuinely not see that this a much bigger issue than that?

Not from Ballagh 
The heat must be affecting Jinx today - he's normally a good humoured oul buck.

Not accurate. That game was moved as they were able to move it. They had no grounds (pardon the pun) to move this and moving it contravened their own rules (different rules that those that were applicable to the wicklow game). They decided to bulldoze ahead regardless and ended up causing this debacle. Kildare didn't hold anyone to ransom. If anything they held the GAA accountable to their own rules. The fact that it is now changed back proves this beyond any doubt. If the GAA had been in the right so to speak there is no way they would have reversed the decision.

They're way ahead of you. Not surprising really - calling Croke Park a neutral venue for a Dublin game against Donegal is a real abuse of the English language.

Surprised Kevin hasn't come out and said anything on Roscommon's behalf.

McCarthy for Cork is probably afraid to even mention anything to the press about the Super 8 for fear they start laughing uncontrollably.

Don't be shocked if some of the other managers of the teams in the qualifiers say something about this before long, especially if they end up in Dublin's group.

The easier Dublin's route out of the group, the harder it makes things for the other 3 in that group to progress out of the group.

[Jinxy]

There must be something in the water in Roscommon.
