Kildare V Tyrone QR3 20/07/13

[God14]

Might as well get this one started now. Will Newbridge be fit to hold it lads?
Id imagine it will be the televised fixture.

[Jonah]

Probably be in Portlaoise.

[BennyHarp]

Wonder would there be any chance of a double header in Croker with Wexford v Laois?

[Rois]

Another 20 mins down the road for travelling fans? Would hardly be fair. Stick it in Croke Park if necessary.

Here we go lads, the draw neither of us really wanted but sure what the hell. Winners face the head stampers in the next round. Kildare bound to be favourites for this we had a lucky win in the league down there, Kildare unbeaten in back door since 2006 (?) and McGeeeny will want to tear us to shreds in his last year. Lump on the flourbags, we've no chance!

This is bound to be the televised game which would mean it is scheduled for 7pm on Saturday evening.

[Dinny Breen]

It will be in Newbridge. Restricted capacity of 7,500.

[ONeill]

Small oul pitch, isn't it?

[Dinny Breen]

Small oul pitch, isn't it?

Aye, Stevie O'Neill will have no bother knocking over sideline balls.

[ONeill]

At least there's no chance of teams with one eye on the next round with the head-stampers lying in the long grass.

[orangeman]

It will be in Newbridge. Restricted capacity of 7,500.

7500 will be plenty big.

Tullamore - 3000

Hyde Park - 3500

Where will the crowd come out of ?

[Jinxy]

May the best team win.

[Dinny Breen]

May the best team win.

Who would you prefer Jinxy? Tyrone in Brewster or Kildare in O'Connor? Just curious like..

[sam03/05]

Tyrone have no chance of making the quarter Finals. Cant see them bearing Kildare and would really struggle against that Meath team.

Very unlucky in the draw each year, can't remember when we last got a home draw. Must be 2008.
