Kildare v Louth QR2

[All of a Sludden]

None of the qualifiers have been on TV so far, I would prefer if it wasn't on TV, more people will attend it.

If H&S have capped the capacity at 7,500 it should sell out regardless.

Has the makings of a good match.AOR has louth in great shape,fitness levels way up and playing to a system that suits.Past reputations mean nothing either with.My only worry is midfield,bar paddy Keenan we have no other natural midfielders and if he struggles like in the Wexford game we could be in trouble

Newbridge will be full for a qualifier either way. Always a sickener for emigrants when these games aren't televised.

Will this be held in Newbridge?

Newbridge probably won't be able to hold the crowd, move it to Drogheda.

Aidan O'Rourke will know the Kildare players inside out and that could give Louth an edge.

He doesn't even know the Louth panel inside out at this stage.

While there are several games I'm not putting money on this weekend, if I was picking just one to avoid this would be it for sure. Really hard to get a feel on this one as there are so many what-ifs.

Strong team.Good to see Keenan and white renewing their midfield partnership that went so well in 2010.O brien and ray finnegan coming in as expected and Donnelly the one left off.no surprises bar Shane mc coy in goal that plays for O Rourkes club team in armagh

[Ohtoohtobe]

That's a scary full-forward line. I'd expect a very high-scoring game on Saturday and my major worry is that Louth's greater accuracy from frees by White might swing it.

Kildare team:

Connolly; Hyland,Foley,McGrillen, Callaghan,P.Kelly,Bolton; Dar.Flynn,O'Neill; P.Cribbin,N.Kelly,E.O'Fla; J.Doyle,Dan.Flynn,Brophy

No change in the six backs shows how light we are in that department with Lyons and Doyle injured. Morgan O'Flaherty might consider himself unlucky not to be included ahead of Bolton.

It's a hard one to call. Louth love playing Kildare and they will have no fear of travelling to Newbridge. Kildare will also be fragile enough after such a comprehensive defeat less than two weeks ago. I'm looking forward more to the minor final on Sunday than this to be honest.

Have things got that bad that Bolton isn't assured of his place? On his day the only HB that can equal or better Karl Lacey.

On his day, yeah, but hasn't had 'his day' all year. Can't remember him doing anything special since the Limerick qualifier last year. Not sure what's up with him. Has given us so much that he probably deserves to keep his place though. Hopefully get a big one out of him. Lads we're seriously vulnerable in this match.

[Donnellys Hollow]

I don't think he would be starting if Lyons and/or Doyle were fit. For a long established regular, he has been poor for a good while now. To be fair the same could be said about Flynn, Foley and Callaghan against Dublin.

These older guys who have been at it a long time have given a lot to the Kildare cause but it looked the last day, and to a lesser extent against Offaly, that the well might be beginning to run dry. I hope I'm wrong and that there's a kick left in them because no team can rely solely on promising youngsters.

[Dinny Breen]

I got a bad feeling on this one

[seafoid]

I am not sure about all this Lily béal bocht.

The Kildare money is out in force again
2/5 on
