Well who would you want next? On paper Kildare look the easier draw. Cork away would be a stinker and could be the end of us.

As a Kildare supporter I'm in two minds on the one hand I think our best chance would be Longford in Newbridge, but then on the other hand if we really want to see how good we are or how ready we are for D2 football next year, I wouldn't mind a crack at Mayo in Castlebar.

Cork can't barely end a sentence in any code these days.

Kildare or Cork. Not the Larries.

Mayo in Newbridge would be a fantastic occasion and would be a good gauge as to how far away from a good team we are. Longford would be beatable but then we'd probably be back in an empty Croke park for the losers of Donegal and Tyrone.
Cork would be boring and liable to be a hammering either way.

Mayo at home. We're not going to win All Ireland so would prefer novelty of playing a big team in Newbridge with nothing to lose.

The dog track was removed back in the 60's

wasn't it declared a kip in 2006 or so? Could it not be included in a public private partnership , ? Is there no money to do it up?

Health and safety reduced capacity at the time the GAA needed Kildare in Croke park for the Dublin league games a few years ago but capacity is back up a little now thanks to some new barriers and a bit of yellow paint.
Kildare are still broke from building a centre of excellence at Hawkfield and the Leinster Council will not be helping as they are still dreaming of building a 40000 seater stadium on the M50 for Dublin. Kildare, Meath and Louth will be allowed to have the privilege of using it from time to time though.

Give them a break will you, if it wasn't for all the free ham they'd be starving to death.

Will O'Shea be making any lineup changes for the next day? Dillon looked sharp but he doesn't have 35 minutes in him anymore.

moysider · July 10, 2016, 10:58:45 PM

I think Aido will start Andy because he is has been into much into self gratification when brought in last 2 games. Dillon a clearer head to bring in. Actually Dillon looks fitter than a few years ago when he was tied up with injury. He's a half in him earlier.
Cillian O Connor clearly not right yet. Way off the pace still. There has to be an injury/fitness issue there still.

In fairness Sy, McStay/FOD had a bit of a stinker today when it came to tactics. The laboured ball into the forward line has to be changed the next day! If they come up with the tactic to do this can they pass on a memo with tactic to Aido?
