Tomás Ó Sé says it is wrong to take Kerry and Mayo out of Croke Park.

Saturday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final replay has been moved to the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick as HQ will be hosting the Croke Park Classic between University of Central Florida and Penn State.

The Kingdom's legendary wing back is unimpressed and sees no reason why the GAA match couldn't have been fixed for Croker the following Saturday: "I just think it's bad timing," he said at Monday's Comórtas na nGael promotion.

"I think it's brilliant that American Football can come here. It's brilliant that soccer and rugby were here but I mean it's a GAA field and it's our field. There are players that love coming to Croke Park and playing and I just think I was bad planning to put an American football game in our busiest window of the year.

"It's wrong. I've been told it was in place for a year and a half. It is great that we show off our stadium, that we can gain revenue - if the revenue goes back into the GAA - but I think that it's wrong. I think it should be put to Saturday week.

"I think basing the decision on the fact that there could possibly be a draw between Donegal and Dublin is wrong. Sure what about it if the two games are on, on the same day, it's not about money, it's not about Dublin filling up the stadium."
