All-Ireland SHC Quarter-finals 2017

Meh. The Dublin minor hurlers who actually won the Leinster title in 2005 had to play their All-Ireland semi-final as a stand-alone fixture in Nowlan Park at midday on a Saturday. Then two years later when they won Leinster again they had to play their semi-final as a stand alone fixture in Portlaoise at 6:30pm on the August bank holiday Sunday evening.

At least these lads are getting the honour of effectively opening a new stadium, and the Clare senior team are playing afterwards too.

Where and when would should this match be played, if not before the Clare v Tipp senior match?

Cork are great Gaels and thereā€™s no doubt about it but this preferential treatment embarrasses the rest of the country looking on. Unashamed corruption in plain view of the nation.

To make matter worse, Thurles was designated by the GAA a few years ago as the ground where quarter finals were to be held regardless of teams involved.

Itā€™s all equal to us anyway. Great to have Cork back as a location.

It is but he has left a sour taste in the mouth.

I told you all it was going to be Cork last Monday, a full week before the draw ā€” Thatā€™s two weeks to sort your shit out - We all knew it was going to be Tipp, Clare, Waterford and Wexford ā€¦ Some lads just love to moan.

You told me nothing last week lad, trot along there for yourself.

I told the forum, mate ā€¦ I canā€™t be holding your hand and leading you to specific threadsā€¦ the information was there.

What a nonsense post.

I just donā€™t like corruption*.

*Unless I am the beneficiary of same.

What do you care? Youā€™ll be at home watching the TV whinging away.

You donā€™t actually think that it was you who is responsible for informing the forum that the quarter finals were being played in Cork do you?

It was known here in Cork that we would get them ā€” Well known in factā€¦ Look Grapes, I like you - but some lads here just love a good whingeā€¦ They were told to get ready for Cork and they wouldnā€™t, thereā€™s nothing can be done for that kind of person.

In fairness, weā€™re told on here every year to book hotel rooms in Dublin for the aif to watch limerick.

Iā€™m claiming this one.

The GAA is the closest thing Ireland has to the mafia

Battery power impressive these days Mike. She on the charge at the moment as well?

The Gaelic Grounds is absolutely terrible for a ground built so recently. I presume Pairc Ui Chaoimh will be decent

It was well known everywhere mate. It was announced about a month ago

Not back to work for another six weeks or so chief. Plenty of time to top up

Sighā€¦
