Very disappointed to hear the Kildare players won't play for Leinster in the inter provincial semi final this Sunday.

Extremely dissappointing. What chance has the competition got when people treat it this way. I'm annoyed at this I have to admit.

Are they all from Leinster?

Does Seanie Johnston count as a Leinster player?

I'm sure the Kildare players are disappointed that ye are all disappointed.

I'm sure when they read this they'll surely change their stance.

So what?

If they don't wanna play then leave them off. Nobody should be forced to play in a competition that no-one cares about.

I say fair play to them. Hopefully more and more players don't bother with it and the competition can be put out of its misery.

Sure they have an Armagh and Wexford man in charge

Split loyalties.

Could Seanie Johnston play for Leinster?

Not making excuses for the players but does anyone actually care about this? Really?

I couldn't tell you who won the last time and wouldn't be that bothered who wins this time. Why should the players be any different?

Who gives a rats about this Inter Provincial nonsense seriously ? What is the point in it ?

I'd rather the Dublin players involved pull out aswell .. What if someone gets injured ? Its more hassle than its worth. I completely agree with the Kildare players.

With an ulcerman in charge what do you expect?

Id rather see it kept on that that mongrel game with the aussies.

The inter pro's should be taking centre stage next October.

I'm sure they have better things to be doing than playing in a worthless match no-one care's about!

The Railway Cup doesn't mean anything to the GAA public judging by the crowds it gets. Why should the players care if the public clearly don't?

Kildare men first, Leinster men second.

There'll probably be more people moaning about this than there will be at the actual matches.

Why though?

More people are interested in the International Rules games then they are in the Inter-pros. That is just a simple fact. No-one cares about the inter-pros.

As if in doubt says alluded to if the amount of people who complained about the lack of prestige given to the inter-pros actually got off their **** and went to watch their province then the tickets would be like gold dust.

But they don't. Because no-one actually cares.

Lads I think your missing the point, forget about the importance of the competition and think for a minute , all of the other Leinster county players are willing to show up but Kildare feel there to big for such a competition. My god the arrogance of that county is unbelievable. How you all think what there doing is right il never know. And then people wonder why I hate Kildare
