    Not to get too off topic but I think the feeling at the time was Rossie delegates led the Connacht counties to vote against Keady. Most casual Galway fans are unaware of the debacle though, or at least weren't till his passing.

    On-topic there very front row tickets are on sale for Sunday on ticketmaster. Not amazing from a vantage point but might do the job

    Ah i did know that story, but I don't think I ever heard of it being referred to as the Tony Keady affair. I also don't remember Tony Keady for that, even though that article is doing its best to make sure thats what he was remembered for.


    I also did not know about the vote! That was harsh in fairness! A perfectly good thing to hold against fans that had nothing to do with it 33 years later.


    Personally I have alot of friends in Galway and have always shouted for them in the hurling,and I don't actually know any Mayo fans that don't shout for them in the hurling. When it comes to football I would always shout for them too if we are out of the championship. Seeing as we are still in contention though I would much prefer to lose an all Ireland Final(if we make it that far of course!!!!) against Armagh than Galway so Its Armagh for me this weekend!

    I have a lot of friends in Galway as well.


    They're all from Mayo.



    I never get the "shouting" for other counties thing, I wouldn't shout for anyone bar ourselves... there are some counties that I wouldn't mind seeing win a game, that would vary depending on circumstances, opponents etc.

    This !

    The only team I will be shouting for on Sunday is mayo .

    I certainly won’t be shouting for Armagh . In fact I’d prefer to have another crack at Galway if we get over Kerry……

    Its a friendly rivalry with Galway as I’ve said many times before. If one team loses and the other wins on Sunday there will be slagging for sure. Give it and take it is my motto :@


    On the hurling I don’t know anybody in my part of Mayo and circle of friends who doesn’t want Galway to win when they are playing?

    The only time I’ve come across anyone hoping they would lose was in East Galway when a few lads were unhappy with manager and team selection !They also felt Joe Canning was holding the team back though so the bitterness of club hurling politics was strong with them!

    Heard an interview with keady a few years ago and he definitely still holds a grudge over it. Quiet rightly too as he was singled out and he did point to the Connaught vote.

    Hope ya had a good laugh at that yourself cause doubt many others had .

    Crikey that took a turn. I apologise for bringing it up. It was a spiteful move from county boards who were afraid of hurling spread within Connacht at the time but had nothing to do with fans and indeed fan relationship between Galway & Mayo was probably at it's highest in the early to mid 90's after that. RIP

    There is going to be an attendance north of 60,000 , biggest attendance in 3 years and no special matchday train from the west, its a scandal.

    I've being told it's coming either this evening or early tomorrow morning

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,790 ✭✭✭muddle84


    I've removed the post now. It was meant as a joke but in hindsight it was in very poor taste and I'm not sure how i thought it could be taken as even the slightest bit funny. I did not mean to offend so I apologise to all for it and I certainly meant no disrespect to Tony Keady or his family as he was somebody I had great respect for! Sorry all!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭SomethingElse


    I have one or two tickets going in 307 if anyone is interested

    Banned or goes missing like his team. A clown of the highest order

    Lads slightly off topic but still ticket related - has anyone experience with transferring tickets through TM website or app? I have 5 tickets on my phone for our group but a couple won’t make the earlier match which I’m keen to see. TM saying ‘Transfer Unavailable’ and I understand that screenshots of the QR codes won’t work either. Any suggestions? Cheers.

    Screenshots are perfectly fine. Its what I do when I buy tickets for my siblings and myself. For some games we only arrive at different times and have never had a problem with QR codes on a Screenshot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 Arkiema


    Ok cheers, I get a warning message when I take the screen grab that says ‘no valid QR Code detected’, assume that it’s just a warning only so. Thanks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,575 ✭✭✭dobman88


    Must be, I've never had a warning like that pop up and I've used them for gakes and gigs for a long time now. I've sent screenshots to them for the game on Sunday again as we are all traveling from different parts of the country.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 498 ✭✭TsuDhoNimh



    Not sure who or where said the screenshots or pictures of the QR codes wouldn't work. They're perfect. Vague memories of the headache trying to sort an elderly relative out with the Ticketmaster App early in the year, from what I remember it wouldn't load the QR code without an active data connection which seemed a mind boggingly poor idea as a default. Used a screenshot that day and for every game since.

    If for any reason you did need a backup you could have each person download their ticket from your Ticketmaster account to a Google Pay wallet (or whatever other Apple Wallet or alternative you/they might like). No real benefit but if gives any peace of mind why not. Usual caveats of making sure they have it WhatsApp'd/emailed/whatever to a backup contact they trust and likely to be with them or to a cloud login they'd be able to find under pressure. Couldn't imagine the horror of missing a game due to a dead battery or stolen phone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 Arkiema


    I was reading it on Ticketmaster site, granted it’s the Uk site so might be different systems.

    Can I use a screenshot of my ticket to enter an event?

    No. Your mobile ticket includes leading-edge technology with fraud protection, so you won't be able to use screenshots or print-outs. You just show it on entry

    Maybe there’s a distinction between e-tickets and ‘mobile’ tickets.

    Anyways we’ll go with the screenshot option, sounds like it will work fine - thanks for the replies.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭franklyon


    Was at Kildare game pretty sure it was a screenshot I used and worked fine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭Vish81


    Lots of rain predicted for Sunday.")



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,633 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,709 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Given our handling the last day I can't imagine its a positive

    Can only add to the "chaos" imo and might affect Kerry's play more than or own.
