This got me thinking about a mid-sized stadium and I found out that back in 2011 Dublin GAA launched their new 2011-2017 strategy which included a proposal to building a new mid-sized stadium. I'd be fairly sure somebody put the kabosh on this because we're into 2014 and I can't find anything on it. Anybody have any news or recent progress reports on that initiative or the strategy itself?

Keenan was quite for Louth. I like George at no 3, but he had a far better first half, made some poor calls to leave his man in the second half, he's strong, likes to set his man up for the shoulders. The ref seemed at sea with the black card, Nelson got one for what looked like a late hand in the face, them Keenan did the same to Cooper but got a yellow, cynical stuff from both sides got yellow cards, it's early days on the black card alright.

There's also the Mayo GAA blog which lists the same thing. Perhaps there's some redevelopment in McHale park that weekend or something?

We played Mayo in Croker last year, or am I mad!!! The year before was the cancelled match due to fog in Mayo. Am I missing a year
