What are you on about? Iāve been highlighting for years here that one of the biggest problems with gaelic football is the state of utter apathy in Cork and Meath. You could throw two of the bigger guns with a great tradition from Ulster, Derry and Down in there as well. When you see the physical condition of some of the Cork players that were playing on Saturday night, its evident that they just donāt give a fuck about gaelic football any more.
Has Conleths been developed much since 2012 when Limerick v Kildare had to be played in OāMoore Park due to its lack of facilities?
Ignoramus gobshite.

I think you know the answer to that one, you old rogue.
Kildare v Mayo has to be moved to a ground with superior facilities, like Aughrim.
I read somewhere before that the Mayo and Dublin footballers are the only counties in either code to sell out their season ticket allocation every year and there is a waiting list in each case.

A few bits have been done to satisfy the Health and Safety man, hosted Tyrone in 2013 in an all-ticket affair
How many seats in the ground, pal? Surely not enough to facilitate season ticket holders from both teams?
Is the capacity around 12k or 15k?
Kidare v Tyrone in 2013 had an attendance of 7,448.
Mayo are a different beast altogether. Thereāll be 42,000 of them at least. Especially if it takes place near Dublin where 94% of all Mayo people live
I think the current permissible capacity is 10k, though not 100% on that. Of that, theres about 200 seats.
Obviously not enough to cover the season ticket holders but there was the same issue there last year when Mayo played Clare in Ennis and season ticket holders just went into the terraces.
Not really, Monaghan are a physical outfit. But thereās no point arriving in the Super 8s having accounted for a stuttering Mayo and an equally inept Fermanagh/ Laois/ Cork.
Like the 94 Connacht success you want to reach the last 4 by beating the best opposition thatās available to you. Leitrim never feared Monaghan I can assure you.
Mar focail scoir cāman @Tank and @Chucks_Nwoko letās be 'avin you. And you needent be bringing that fucking bluffer Hedder Humphreys for moral support.

To be fair a hape of them live in Galway too.
Itās a little known fact that no Mayo people actually live in Mayo. Itās mostly English people whoās parents were from Mayo and Leitrim folk
With all the fuss about Arlene in Clones yesterday, it was hardly that big an issue for a Church of Ireland member to go and support her native county and constituents. It was a bigger surprise on one level to see a Presbyterian breaking the Sabbath observance to attend a football match.
The huns are going bust.
A team who canāt defend?
Kildare v Mayo will be at Croke Park in a double bill with Cavan v Tyrone, apparently - not officially.
Just what the championship needs - two more games played in a three-quarters empty stadium wth the atmosphere of a morgue. Thereās nothing like the sight of an empty Hill 16 to create a buzz.
If the Kildare board had any balls theyād insist on their home advantage counting or switch it to Navan. Mayo will win comfortably at Croke Park.

Declan Bogue and Turlough OāBrien v Joe Brolly in a triple threat twitter match at present. It appears Brolly was coaching the Antrim forwards in 2008 when they racked up scores of 0-7 and 0-8 in the league. Brolly says he was briefly a team advisor for 3 or 4 weeks but googled articles and match reports from back then are being thrown into the mix which casts doubt on this timeline.
Is Bogue a bit of an eejit?
