Perhaps the Longford players will be motivated by playing Dublin at home in front of a packed atmosphere less empty Croke Park.

The apathy around Kildare is at an all time low, less than 1% of the population of the county will be at the game. Today for the same price you can go to the 1k Guineas, the new Grandstand for joe public would exceed the Croke Park or Aviva corporate experience and all kids u18 are free.

The Leinster SFC Champion is dead, The Munster SFC Championship is dead. The GAA are at a cross roads, they picked the wrong path 15 years ago, though now its probably too late to save Leinster.

How does the Kildare team today compare to the one that started v Mayo last year?
Are all the changes negative, no new young bolter ?

Predicted Kildare team today.

Donnellan, Dempsey, D Hyland, M Hyland, P Kelly, Doyle, K Cribben, Feely, Conway, Slattery, McCormack, O'Flaherty, Tyrrell, Brophy, N Flynn

No Mick O'Grady, Johnny Byrne, Kevin Flynn, Tommy Moolick,  Dan Flynn, Paul Cribben from that game  or no  Niall Kelly off the bench.

Dempsey the only u20 from last year's AI winning side starting, promising young players such as Luke Flynn, Aaron Masterson and Jack Robinson no current interest in Kildare.

Apathy from players to supporters to clubs. I was at a club game yesterday, guts of a 100 at it, mention of Kildare zero, mention of Carlow/Meath that was on at the same time 1, and that was me.

The only remaining footballer in Leinster outside of Dublin with an All Star award. Says it all.

Such a shame that this game didn't get live TV coverage. Was always going to be a competitive contest

Replay required to find a winner.  O'Connor Park next Sunday at 3pm.

I thought games at this stage had to be finished on the day?

That's the qualifiers.
The provincial councils hung on to right to hold replays after extra time for the moolah.

Right, I thought all games before the provincial semi-finals had to be settled. Probably mixing it up with the fact that extra-time must be played.
