Precisely. This is a nothing debate. Kildare will rock up to Croke Park and get on with it, or the GAA will sort them out, sort them out good and proper.

also youâve got the typical anti-Gaa reaction. People rowing in behind a âcauseâ that isnât really a âcauseâ. The rules are clearly set out.
It would be an absolute nightmare if something happened in Newbridge, howâs an ambulance supposed to get in or out of that fucking place?
Youâd imagine the players, both sets, would prefer an outing in Croke Park.
I maintain Kildare will go up to Croke Park and use this as some sort of leverage towards a development grant.

Didnt Kildare have their cap out recently begging for money? - they will fall in. Good and proper.
They should move it to Limerick altogether.

They did. Croke Park had to even send a fella down to sign their cheques such as the amount of money flowing out of the place (to Armagh).
The GAA are really upping the ante now.
PRO Alan Milton has just called Kildare âlily-liveredâ on the Sean OâRourke show on the radio.
âThe public are behind us on this - Kildare will cave in to us, mark my words.â
Ray Darcy has come out and said heâll leave the country if this game isnât played in Conleths.

- Under the GAA Official Guide r3.47 (a), the Central Competitions Control Committee has overall responsibility for Competition Scheduling and Arrangements for and Control of Games under the jurisdiction of the Central Council
2.Under the GAA Offical Guide r7.11(e)(3) there is no right of appeal against a decision of the Central Competitions Control Committee or a Provincial Competitions Control Committee with regard to arrangements for the date and venue of a Game - There is DRA authority that in exceptional circumstances a decision of a CCC can be overturned where it is unreasonable and irrational in the circumstances - high bar but can be done e.g., DRA 21 of 2016 Kilcoo GAC v Down CCC and Ulster HC
- Kildare can argue that CCCC is unreasonably in breach of r6.28(A) (v) (2): âHome Venues SHALL be used in Rounds 1, 2 and 3 of the All-Ireland Qualifier Series, with first Team drawn having Home Advantageâ and only exception is âVenues for Rd 4 shall be determined by CCCCâ
- If there is any exception to the home venue rule in rounds 1-3 of the All-Ireland Qs (e.g., ground capacity, health and welfare, season ticket etc) GAA probably should have thought of that beforehand and expressly given the CCCC a discretion but it didnât
- In sum, while CCCC has wide discretionary powers (that usually canât be appealed) under GAA rules, the GAA Official Guide has expressly and clearly limited the CCCCâs powers in rounds 1-3 of the qualifiers and it must give Kildare home advantage.
- If @KildareGAA go for injunctive relief in the courts, they look like they have a good arguable case and would get it on the above grounds. CCCC are not in any way willfully breaching the Guide, doing their best, just more restricted than normal by Guide & havenât realised.
- CCCC may have to back down this time & revisit matters at end of year to give themselves greater discretion with Qs. I would recommend that they do that: ensures game is played, Kildare get what their due & from next rd of qualifiers (R4) CCCC have power to fix venues anyway
- hope that all sides see the sense in the above and avoid legal or even DRA route - it will cost money and time and disrupt the tight fixtures schedule, possibly impacting on the Super 8
Hon Kildare
And again the same proviso is evident.
I think youâve nailed it here.
Kildare had an opportunity to nominate another ground, they botched it, theyâre fucked now, they can fuck off.

Fair play to Kildare, they are really sticking to their guns - not rolling over and having their bellies tickled like Laois.

Maybe you should stop denying the holocaust. Youâre trying but effort will only disguise your limitations so much.

I have not been clamped, nor am I seething.
I may be sad that you are still as idiotic and belligerent as you were last year but thereâs little I can do about that.
Iâll tell you what - Cian OâNeill went right up in my estimation after he said that - I would love it, love it, if he beat the GAA on this.
