2016 Leinster Football Championship

[muppet]

I've previously done 1000km, 950km & 720km round trips following Kildare in the past. I haven't gone to a game in 3/4 years.

I don't like where the GAA is going. Very disillusioned with the whole lot.

Have you tried using a GPS or even a map App?

[mup]

Ehhh what?

[muppet]

Ehhh what?

It is less than 300km from Naas to the main pitches in either Donegal or Kerry, so a 1,000km round trip following Kildare either involved a very bad navigator OR an instance to travel via either of the above counties no matter who you we playing.

He did it on horseback though.

Ok and what if you lived in the south of the country? Like Cork.

I was thinking there, you know the way Galway play in the Leinster hurling championship.
Could Dublin not switch to the Connacht or Munster championship just to see how it would go.
The fans would love it getting days out down the country and it would give the team a new challenge.

It would also make Leinster a lot more interesting and give teams more of a reason to lift themselves instead the annual hammering to the Dubs.

Of course it won't happen but it would be an interesting experiment for one year

They're all yours if you want them.

Why Dublin? Why Connacht and Munster? The Ulster Championship has been a Turkey shoot this year! None of the Dublin games would be outside Croker. If they were in the Connacht Championship, no one from outside Mayo would travel to Croker to play them. The Connacht final would be in Croker. In the case of Munster, a season like this year would be undermined for Tipperary.

It's a silly idea! It would suit the bored Dubs and no one else. And we already do enough to suit Dublin Football.

[Croí na hÉireann]

Paul Cribben and Dan Flynn out with concerns still around Kelly. Westmeath should win this now, from a Kildare perspective I wouldn't be too worried if we did considering the injuries and age profile. I could see our young Lilies blooming in the qualifiers, week in week out would suit a young team.

We've our own problems, missing a host of players for one reason or another ourselves. This will be a dour defensive battle, whoever makes the most of their limited opportunities will sneak it.

Then I wouldn't support Kildare!

It would suit the 10 other counties in Leinster!

Although Dublin would have to be made play away from Croker more often and all provinces should be treated equally.

Changing my mind around the qualifiers. Mayo, Cork and losers of Donegal/Monaghan and Kildare/Westmeath on same side of draw. Not going to get much joy there.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Not going to get much joy no matter what happens, just hope they can get through the championship season without any more serious humiliations and hope that some decent players appear next January.

Where's our f**king pride?

We fear no one in the qualifiers.
