Now, this is not an anti-Dublin thread but why is the Kildare V Kerry match tomorrow the curtain raiser to the Dublin game? The All-Ireland champions are the curtain raiser, surely not right? and in what is bound to be a closer more competitive game. When we talk about the GAA and the Dubs this is what we mean, I just find it unfair that the GAA always fix Dublin to play at the more convenient 4pm throw in. I'm sure the Dubs will even agree with me on this one. ShortGrass_1 (Kildare) - Posts: 223 - 01/08/2015 10:36:51 1761916 Link 0 |
Agree 100% shortgrass. I had a similar topic on here a few weeks ago about the fact the Munster final was always scheduled for 2pm as well. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 01/08/2015 11:16:22 1761932 Link 0 |
But I guess the poor craters have a long way to travel: sure you know the Luas and the Dart can be an ordeal compared to the 4 hour car journey we have to go.... TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 01/08/2015 11:34:01 1761939 Link 0 |
Because if Kildare-Kerry was the second game there'd be a weird atmosphere with just the Kildare fans! JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 01/08/2015 11:41:28 1761940 Link 0 |
The Hermit sure the Leinster final is always on 2.00pm as well. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 01/08/2015 11:55:05 1761945 Link 0 |
Personally I'm delighted we're on first as I won't have to endure the turkey shoot at 4 o'clock ( no disrespect to Dublin and Fermanagh )and also il be be back home for around 8 o'clock, sweeeeeet. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 01/08/2015 12:25:57 1761954 Link 0 |
I know Ollie, my point a few weeks ago was why can't all the provincial final times and dates couldn't be alternated TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 01/08/2015 12:37:41 1761959 Link 0 |
Provincial finals ARE alternated. Monaghan Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 441 - 01/08/2015 12:57:59 1761962 Link 0 |
All Ireland champions should not be the curtain raiser no matter who they are, this is the GAA trying to kiss the Dublin GAA backside yet again, if the GAA are worried about the stadium being half empty if Kerry were up at 4pm then 2 things spring to mind, either the Kerry-Kildare game shouldn't be in Croke Park or majority of Dublin supporters aren't GAA fans. We see plenty of Dublin fans that turn up to watch any game and they go in early, they deserve to be applauded but the sunshine supporters who are late coming into the grounds, spend the entire game singing soccer songs and chants, shout abuse at opposing players and fans and leave directly after the game regardless if there is a game afterwards are the people the GAA are trying to please, they aren't GAA supporters they are glory chasers and the GAA shouldn't be bending over for them. Dublin v Fermanagh should be at 2pm and Kerry v Kildare at 4pm riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 01/08/2015 13:05:36 1761969 Link 0 |
The Hermit they always have the Munster football final at 2.00pm followed by the Leinster hurling final at 4.00pm on the same day. This is followed by the Leinster football football at 2.00pm and the Munster hurling at 4.00pm the following Sunday. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 01/08/2015 13:06:03 1761970 Link 0 |

I heard Kildare made a deal with the Gaa that they don't have to endure watching the Dubs take apart another team as some of them are still suffering from post traumatic stress from the semi;) Victorious87 (Wicklow) - Posts: 597 - 01/08/2015 13:28:42 1761984 Link 0 |
For most neutrals the Dublin Fermanagh match is the least interesting and should be on first. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 01/08/2015 14:36:46 1762008 Link 0 |
