There is a sense from some posters about regrouping in the qualifiers, as if the teams in the qualifiers are there to help us rebuild on our way to the quarters. Teams like Galway, Armagh and Derry would be well capable of beating us, Louth will be difficult too, huge gaps in defence and unproven young lads in the forward line, making the quarters with the footballers we have would be impressive. I know we have a good record in the qualifiers but there's a good few teams more likely to beat us this year than in previous years, we may not have to wait for a really big team to dump us out this year! switec (Kildare) - Posts: 525 - 02/07/2013 20:50:59 1422149 Link 0 |
Definitely not switec, can't take anything for granted and that should be the challenge put to these young lads. They haven't become bad players overnight and they need to prove that, as much to themselves as anyone else. The goal has to be to get back to Croke Park. It is vital for Kildare that this team continues to rebuild and getting a few wins under the belt and a bit of momentum will be integral to that. The future is what matters and it starts now. doublehop (Kildare) - Posts: 4172 - 02/07/2013 21:14:22 1422177 Link 0 |

Fantastic lads. Another year through the qualifiers where we will beat below average teams and reach another All Ireland Quarter Final....then we'll play a half decent team and we will get hammered! takeyourpoints_ (Kildare) - Posts: 89 - 02/07/2013 21:50:10 1422258 Link 0 |

Hard luck on Sunday lads, the wheels fell off the wagon for yis. Don't know what the stats were but yis seemed to have a good amount of possession... could it be a case of paralysis by analysis? Floops (Dublin) - Posts: 1623 - 03/07/2013 14:34:58 1422775 Link 0 |

Kildare have gone rapidly downhill since paul grimley left..shows how big a role he had and it obviously cant be filled..ask any of the players who played under him..they'll say how big an influence he had cilldara14 (Kildare) - Posts: 254 - 03/07/2013 21:40:15 1423319 Link 0 |
The worrying thing about this match was how we all seemed to know what weaknesses we had, and how Dublin would exploit them well in advance. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3643 - 11/07/2013 19:26:57 1429364 Link 0 |
Did anyone see the shoulder charge on Graham Reilly in the second half of the Leinster Final half today? No free given - I'd say Johnny Doyle had a wry smile on his face as he saw that. jimski (Kildare) - Posts: 355 - 14/07/2013 16:42:15 1431109 Link 0 |
no Doyle did it when Cooper was crouching down to pick up the ball , you cant touch a player when they are crouching down to get the ball the ref will ping you all day long , McCarthys shoulder on Reilly was textbook , awful sour grapes out of you Murlo111 (Dublin) - Posts: 192 - 14/07/2013 17:56:37 1431219 Link 0 |
Perfectly timed shoulder in my opinion.Does todays result put the lillies into third ranking within the Province,Tank god for the minors and U21's.Hopefully Geezer will be gone by the time they come through. dubya (Kildare) - Posts: 423 - 14/07/2013 19:56:37 1431376 Link 0 |
Are those the u21s that Geezer was over you're taking about yea? sedico (Kildare) - Posts: 1682 - 14/07/2013 20:47:57 1431447 Link 0 |
Given what's happened to Meath today (and a few others), I wish to state that I've re-evaluated my analysis of that game last year! Kildare went man-to-man with the Dubs, all set for a shoot out. It was a suicidal plan, but they did better than most would have done Count_Awesome (Kildare) - Posts: 736 - 20/07/2014 15:32:00 1621913 Link 0 |
Was in watching the minors today and the senior game.Very disappointed with their performance.Only one or two tried and they collapsed.Also given what Dublin did to Meath and what Meath did to us along with scraping by against Clare ,it is clear hat no real structure exists in the county.What pretends to be organised'development squads' are merely a gathering of a select few with little homework done on players except those who are sent to by their clubs.Not Good enough and the results are what we have had yesterday and today. dubya (Kildare) - Posts: 423 - 20/07/2014 18:18:01 1622084 Link 0 |
if we meet them this year, expect the same scoreline! with that said, dublin are not the benchmark for kildare, there is a huge gap between the counties. Meath are firmly no 2 in leinster as they have beaten us convincingly in the last 2 championship encounters, we could catch up with Meath again as they are not great but Dubs will remain what they always are for kildare, a game we are unlikely to win 9 times out of 10! switec (Kildare) - Posts: 525 - 21/07/2014 10:41:28 1622589 Link 0 |
You do realise dubya that it was a minor final you were watching not a first round game ? KildareKelly (Kildare) - Posts: 592 - 21/07/2014 12:32:02 1622780 Link 0 |

Kildarekelly yes I do thanks for asking.Thats what was disappointing although I suspect a tinge of sarcasm in you condescending question.I stayed to watch a football exhibition of sorts in the senior final.No harm to show the kids how it should be done.Monaghan nex t so.You never know......... dubya (Kildare) - Posts: 423 - 21/07/2014 20:49:30 1623461 Link 0 |
