So if tipp decide clonmel or nenagh is their home ground but too small to hold matches and we play every single game in semple stadium could we claim it as neutral?

Replying To Fionn:  "Every county board needs to share some of the blame on this Super 8's issue...
Why didn't they all speak up at Congress when all this was agreed.??

This should have been very clear from the offset instead of all this nonsense...."
What are you talking about?

Replying To ulsterrules:  "there is no doubt that congress were at fault here but it was a room full of delegates from every county including the executive at the top table . Surely when the Galway delegate miss spoke about 1 home 1 away and 1 neutral they would have corrected him .

But they did not correct him , you can portray him as doddery to help your argument but any competition is about fairness.. imagine this format was used in the Dublin County Championship and St Vincent's for example used Parnell Park week in week out and they got to play 2 games at home in their group, I'm sure kilmacud/Ballymun etc would not sit on their hands.

But again why have fairness when you can have an advantage….."
I was talking about Gilroy hinting at an asterisk next to Dublin's recent success. Baloney.

Dublin's home ground is Parnell Park it always has been.

They used in Parnell Park prior to the advent of the 'Spring Series'.

All of this inofmation should not be a surprise to you nor should be a surprise to anyone who was at the GAA congress.
Dublin hurlers played Tipp in semple last year in the championship, I had no problem with it was pre-arranged, the KK v Waterford game was on after it.
Big crowd great atmosphere.
In fact Dublin played Kerry in Semple when Croke Park was being redeveloped by in 2001 it was pre-arranged there was no problem with it.
Why the issue now?
All these greivence's you have could have been aired at Congress by delegates.
But not ONE delegate put thier hand up and questioned it.

This is just Donegal led by the likes of Jim McGuinness trying to create a belated story, to whip up a 'them v us' narrative.

Nobody was sure who would be in what group for this stage of the competition so no objections were made at Congress. Donegal did recently as it effects them the most and fair play to them for doing so.

I'm sure if the 'rules' stated that teams playing Dublin had to have one hand tied behind there back then you wouldn't have a problem with that either.

That's the issue the rules are favouring one team over the other 7 at this stage of the competition, but it'll be changed hopefully for next year.

Launching the Super 8s with two double headers in Croke Park makes sense in so many ways. Its also a very attractive package for neutral fans over the week-end.
Do Dublin have an advantage playing two games out of three in Dublin? YES , Will it ever be changed ? UNLIKELY
Donegal players/management have not make an issue of it. Their county board have as is their right seeked clarification on how a venue could be both a neutral and home venue for one team. They accepted the committee's response and moved on from there. This will never be an issue for more than one county in any given year.Its Donegal's problem this year and some other county (Connacht/Munster champions) next year. As a result I cant see there being a huge groundswell movement for change in congress next year. Its a good but not ideal arrangement and none of the two participating counties are to blame.

As Eamonn Sweeney put it dubgrugers will always find something to cling onto. I for one hope Dublin play more games away from croke park as I believe it is the venue they are most likely to be caught in. For someone like mcguiness to suggest it will affect there legacy just smacks of bitterness.

Croke Park is deemed as a neutral venue
Parnell Park is Dublin's home ground.
This is ALREADY a known fact - why complain now?
I can't put it clearer then that.

I can't remember the Dublin hurlers crying about having to play a championship game against Tipp last year in Semple stadium 'The Home of Hurling'
Croke Park is GAA HQ/'The Home of football'

Yeah but even Sweeney drowning in a sea of ignorance did state that Dublin had a huge advantage playing at 'home'. Seemed to used the article as an opportunity to not for the first time have a cheap shot at Donegal which didnt add much to the debate.
Both teams are focused on next Saturdays match and the venue will be a non issue next Monday morning. I think the majority of people have moved on by now.

This is not new. Congress at fault.
Let's be honest if Dublin played Donegal in Ballybofey twice they would more then likely still win anyway.
This is just creating hype for the game and stir interest that is all.

What has JmcG got to be bitter about? The point he was making is that while Dublin may well go on to win 4 or 5 or 6 in a row, people will say "sure look at all the advantages they had"
Now you may well disagree with him & fair enough if you do but to call our Jim bitter is hurtful in the extreme & will no doubt be used in the Donegal dressing room as a rallying cry.
I'm sure you don't want that on your conscience so I would apologise straight away if I were you.

Replying To NaomhNaille:  "it's even worse than that, spurs only went one season with no home games but dublin havent had a home championship game since 2004. it's so tough on them they're at such a disadvantage."
Would you rather play the Dubs away in Croke Park or away in Parnell Park? Ask your players that and they'll tell you Croke Park every time. In fact other counties vote for it all the time. Talk to your CB and then come back to us.

If ye did play twice in Ballybofey and won by a million points it doesnt matter, the structure of the competition isnt fair on three teams in the group with one team having an extra home game.

Anyway it should be rectified for next year as i said.

Sure luck Muck. Move us out of CP and they'll use the money excuse. Make us paupers and they'll use the population excuse. This is a great Dublin team. Look at our away record. The people who know their stuff with no axe to grind will determine their legacy, not a wannabe sports hack whose own team's record at home against this Dublin team was ???? It's 15 v 15 afterall.
