Hope we tell HQ to go feck itself. Seriously anyone not on Kildare's side in this is a shill. We were drawn as the home team and therefore there is no doubt the game should be in Newbridge, regardless of the money signs seen by the GAA. I'd rather see us forfeit the game than be pushed around. You can't just decide to take home advantage away from a team like that, it's disgusting behaviour. What happens on the off chance we make the Super 8? Everyone else get's there 'home' game but we have to suck it up and not play in Newbridge?
You mean the same way Kildare told the Leinster Council to go feck themselves when they wanted all Dubs games in Leinster to be in Croker? No shills in Kildare, eh?
There's two things with this. First - what the GAA have done is absolutely wrong, no question.
And second, feck Kildare. Zero sympathy for them. Their agreement in Leinster is the exact precedent that allows the GAA to feck over smaller counties. The bottom line with this is that there's no extra money in it for Kildare to have the qualifier in Croker, whereas they've a sweet deal in Leinster.
Fully expect they'll be bought off again and come out with some tripe about disqualification not being fair on the plsyers etc.
