No. They'll just be sitting together.

Everything is exactly the same as before, except there's less people and you have to wear masks.

I was at the match and watched him walk off. I wouldn't read too much into this. I suspect given his own high standards it was a personal reflection of his own disappointment more than anything else. These guys have set huge standards for themselves over the last decade. Good to see both Basquels get game time and perform fairly well when introduced.

Yeah I sat through a queue of 6k yesterday with a worried head on me. Then realised it was 'only' hurling. I assume the football tickets are out the start of the following week.

If they said when the tickets would be out it would probably crash the site in fairness.

So has anyone been lucky enough to get a ticket from their club?

I've been in and off all weekend. Not a sniff of tickets. I doubt any have gone up at all.

I find this very frustrating with the GAA; I put in hundreds of hours every year mentoring and coaching, but when it comes to tickets for big games, never a sniff. And yet I see lads who do very little at the club seem to have ready access to them year in, year out/ and only showing up for the big games. It was the five in a row year the really set me off with this, we went to every game except the final. And then had to listen to all these lads who hadnt even gone to the semi final banging on about what a great occasion it was. Its put me off going back to be honest, left a bad taste.

No it doesnt happen in every sport - what other sport has an 80'000 seat stadium in Ireland.

I've been in the queue since 850 this morning and there's still 1009 ahead of me.

If Kerry do get a bye to the final they will have an excuse ready made if they lose. They were undercooked.

Size of the stadium is irrelevant. There are always bandwagoners who go to the big 'events' in every sport. Just to be seen. But at the end of the day it is the bandwagoners/sunshine supporters that pay the bills of the GAA because they suddenly appear in huge numbers.

In fairness to Mayo they are probably an exception to the rule. I don't think there is any county as fantical as them crowd per population - year in year out. They end up travelling over from abroad and all sorts.

Are ya mad?

It's those of us that go to O'Byrne Cups and League matches in the freezing cold that pay the bills and keep the association ticking over.

4 hours now on the phone and I'm 66...

Opened and started on the laptop and I'm 12109!

It's the same as last week for the hurling. They just stuck them up with no announcement.

Thats the problem; so we have to keep going online on spec to hope we get some.

It'll be tomorrow I'd say that they'll be up.

It was presumably carnage but I got my golden tickets.

I couldn't get in earlier via TM and now all gone. Ffs.

I'm fuming.
