Derry v Tyrone. Why not play it in Windsor Park?

What is wrong with this suggestion? If two Irish provinces can be hosted at Croke Park to play Rugby (on the sole basis that the GAA eyed a big pay day and literally threw the stadium at them) why can't arguably the World's biggest soccer club parading the World 's most expensive player and World Footballer of the Year be hosted there?

Because there is a hurling game on their the next day.

Relations between the GAA and the Irish club in question are not exactly cordial.

Its against the GAA's rules.

That enough for you?

Was it not technically against the rules for Munster and Leinster to play Rugby at Croke Park?

No it's not until Lansdowne Road almost free Stadium is built for them.

They were hardly going to play handball, were they?

The GAA don't break rules but  they make plenty.

The wording of the rule 42 ammendment was sufficiently open to interpretation to allow the CC to decide what goes while Lansdowne was/is closed.
Technically the CC could meet and discuss the merits of a rent application but in the absence of such an application, media onslaught and general GAA acceptance of the exceptional nature of a  Munster Brand  V Brand Blue match, it is an extremely unlikely scenario.
