Kerry v Galway match is confirmed for 4pm on Sunday July 15th. Dublin v Donegal on 7pm on Saturday 14th. Surprise, surprise. Suits me perfectly. Saturday games are a pain in the chops! Exactly the opposite for me!

This could suit me because I am away and Ryanair pilots have just said they are to strike on 12th when I am due to fly home. 😠😠😠😠

Could the Kerry Galway game not be played in Limerick, think that would suit both counties, half way to travel for each, a possible 8 hour round trip on a Sunday with work the next day, not an ideal situation. It would also give some game time to the Gaelic grounds which probably won't see much action till next year.

Play it on saturday at 7pm in Limerick i say....

But in truth I am missing this game as attending the three super 8 games is a pile of cash. Would rather attend an away day in Monaghan or somewhere and the home one in Killarney.

The lay people of the GAA will end up owing a real debt of gratitude to Cian O Neil and Kildare GAA. Questions will also need to be asked of the other county board delegates for allowing this set of circumstances to arise- not just the fixture stuff but the funding stuff,etc.
Cold Parkinson made a very simple but very poignant point on the GAA hour- if the GAA, as their defense went, is so in favor of people seeing matches then why have they put games on subscription channels. The GAA, at the moment, doesn’t care about people seeing matches- it cares about people paying to see matches.

I'm finding it very difficult to get too worked up about either the clash with the World Cup Final or the Dublin "neutral" venue. Yes it would be interesting to see what would have happened if the Dublin v Donegal match was fixed for the 15th at 4pm, and I think there would have been howls of outrage and (worse for the GAA hierarchy) a diminished attendance for the match. Kerry and Galway supporters don't traditionally travel in large numbers at this stage of the competition so most going anyway would choose the. Super 8 over the World Cup. A no brainier for the bureaucracy!
On the neutral venue, did nobody see this coming or is it just another stick to beat the Dubs with? They should not be penalised for their geography and it would be pure madness to insist the home match be played in Parnell. Perhaps a (purely philosophical) way around this would be that as CP is the HOME of Gaelic games any county may designate it as their home venue.
For Kerry we have never minded who we beat and we have always been ready to play anyone, anywhere and anytime.

I agree to an extent,i think it would be amazing to have the dubs travel more bring great colour .most dubs i know still reference 2001 in thurles what an occasion! If i was Donegal id be more pissed off that there game is on at 7 now that IS a joke! Be the same for us 7 pm game with 3 1/2 hours plus driving thats just insulting

Well the main issue that I would have with it is the nonsense about Parnell Park being their home venue. That’s like us saying that Tralee is our home venue so all games in Killarney are technically neutral- the Congress debate was about home,away and neutral. Get Gilroy of off the ball watched back the Congress debate and did a synopsis- bring Galway to Killarney, it’s neutral sure

For the super 8 game between the provincial champs....both counties should be on the road including Dublin. If both counties want to use Croker.....or......if counties set up their own home and away arrangement.....fine.

Croke Park is Dublin's home ground. They rent it for home games. It's a stadium in Dublin. It's a home ground. Is Fitzgerald Stadium owned by Kerry GAA? I don't think it is! Anyway, a home ground can be any ground in the home county. This Parnell Park chat is nonsense. Croke Park is Dublin's home. But designating it as a 'nuetral' ground for this series of games is downright brazen by the GAA.

Regarding the World Cup final it makes not a bit of difference to me, I probably wouldn't watch it if I was at home with nothing to do. It's simply a matter of fans deciding which match they'd rather see.
The Donegal situation is different , in my view the whole Croke Park home/neutral venue is a dead duck, what I do think is totally unreasonable is expecting Donegal to play at 7pm with such a long journey home ahead of their supporters who do indeed travel in great numbers. The same is true for any team who travel that sort of distance. Personally I'm lucky to be quite close to Croke Park and as a solo traveller the expense of travelling to Tralee or Killarney is much less than those who travel with kids etc.

For Kerry we have never minded who we beat and we have always been ready to play anyone, anywhere and anytime. There's no fear of Dublin ever being penalised by geography, that's for sure. The Parnell Park thing is just a red herring and nobody is seriously suggesting the Dubs play any game there. The argument here is about Dublin having two games at home i.e. in Dublin and everybody else having one. Home advantage isn't about a particular ground or who owns what. More than anything else it's about about logistics and finance in relation to supporters. The wonder of it is that a row is only brewing now. We've known all along that the Dubs would have two home games.

On that point, it looks likely that Kerry could end up away to Monaghan. Could Monaghan, if they wanted to, bring us to Inniskeen again or are there certain stipulations in relation to capacity etc for these games?

One home, one away, one neutral. And justice for all. This is how it should obviously have been from the start but for cynical silly buggers by corporate interests in Croke Park.
The Donegal game will probably have to be played in Croke Park this year but we all need to make enough noise to get this absolute bull* sorted out for next year.
The system as it stands will have Dublin playing their most difficult game every year - against another provincial champion - at home. Every year. This is intolerable.

Anyone get the feeling that every other county are just flunkies in the never ending story of Dublins domination of gaelic football. Mayo obliged for a few years there in giving the thing a veneer of being a competition. Kerry look like being the next county to provide what Mayo did. I wont be one bit surprised if Galway get ridden bare back by the ref in this game in order to provide the perfect Kerry v Dublin final for Dublins coronation. Call me cynical if ye want.

Can't see that Mick. Even if there were such an agenda, it would be counterproductive. Galway wouldn't beat Dublin in a final, no chance. Kerry might though. If anyone's getting the ride, it's Kildare, I'd say.
