They are diluting the purity and exclusivity of hurling.
Like Clare?
So if Dublin beat Kerry on Sunday, should Mayo boycott the AI football final? Seems like Mayo are getting blackgaurded there. Game should be on in Hyde Park, or in Tuam.
And Dublin.
+1 pal, the final was always fixed for Thurles.
Fair point, the All Ireland Football Final however is taking place in Croke Park Dublin as that is the home of the GAA.
So you’re right.
Croke Park it is.
Wexford Park would probably be equidistant for both counties. Ideal match venue.
I hope the Archbishop of Cashel will throw in the ball at the start of the match.
That would’t be fair on Dublin, Tullamore/Mullingar/Longford would be fairer.
It wouldn’t be fair to expect him to travel all the way to Semple Stadium, maybe the teams could call to his residence, kiss the ring and march up through the square behind the Moycarkey-Borris Sean Treacy Pipe Band, to the stadium.
Whatever about the venue I don’t like the idea of something do important being played under lights. The lights in Semple are obviously top quality but I’d say you could easily lose flight of the ball in the lights.
That’ll suit what Antrim have in mind.
Prediction: Clare 1-26 Antrim 0-11
Come on Antrim. You’d fear it could be a long afternoon for them here though.
Brilliant point, they have Clare rattled.
Clare making heavy work of it so far. Will probably win well, but looking slow and messy.
Seem to have shook the creases out…Things picking up now.
Savage point there for Antrim
Floodgates beginning to open now sadly.
If Clare get a goal before half time, then this will get ugly.
