Sadly when we say World Leaders we have a lad in the UK who has never run for PM in an election, who replaced another lad who was the same. He is too busy firefighting at home.

The USA is amoral and with Trump looming the Democrats don't want to lose any pro-Israel money. Again, minding their own house.

In other words the Conservative Party and the Democrats are more important than thousands being slaughtered. That's just two players and others will take the lead from the USA.

It's just perverse that aid is being dropped along with weapons supplied by the same notion...

Happy to see Kerr back in. Mixed bag in terms of O'Shea. There were good things said but then he seems to be floating a bit now.
Would they hope for a lift and then if it goes well do it like the women's team? Keep him on in some form...

Kildare are seemingly missing Ben McCormack, Darragh Kirwan and Kevin Flynn.
Others who we would need to step up are not fully fit and that's on top of the general carnage this year. It could be a very bad trip below...

As someone who grew up a United fan, I am so jealous of Liverpool with Klopp. He really has a crew of men around him and the lads all seem to genuinely get on.
I hate so many of the United players - Antony for one just drives me mad with his flash gear and general shiteness.

Klopp has a great philosophy and can see a goo player, but he also seems to have a great eye for signing good people by and large.

Delighted for Kelleher and I do see him moving on. It just goes to show how a run of games is so important.

The lads on local radio are saying Kildare are trying their best and they are complaining about faceless people on forums and how we need to get behind the lads...
Naturally the Kildare forum is very annoyed and there are some of the usual head-d-balls talking about the players and camp being losers and having no balls...

After all the recent stuff you would presume there would be some kind of siege mentality but not to be. Looks like it's Division 3. If Cork beat us, I could see the wheels are totally off and we won't get a win.

I really worry what Donegal will do to us...

Former Kildare minor captain Paul Mescal. Like after Gladiator comes out he's going to another level.

Just bumping this up again...
Dean Smith or even Graham Potter?
It's a month before the friendlies so surely that's a deadline...

The IRFU went viral with the young kid singing Ireland's Call. Now they have the young Liverpool fan Daire in this week. They are really going after kids and they

I'll ask this as a WTF do the GAA social, comms and marketing actually do? Any campaign comes from the sponsor. There is no content on socials or YouTube for kids. They can tell you anything you want to know about Mbappe but they'd need a research PhD to chase up what a county player likes...

And the poxy thing is that these kids can run on the field after a game and actually meet their heroes.

It will open a lot of marketing options and to be honest the LGFA campaigns with Lidl could teach the GAA a lot. There will be a more Govt funding and a lot of the stuff at club level is moving along that way anyway.

The women's associations actually the issue a lot of the times in terms of fixtures overlapping and general BS. That will need a clean-out there.

Feel sorry for Glenn Ryan?! He knew the media were on the job all week but gave them another story when he attacked a local journalist who has always been very supportive.
Basically accused him of not reporting something and then refused to back down. This is in front of the Examiner, The Indo and The Times...

We are easy fodder on and off the field.

This is terrible...

Bar David Hyland there were no nailed on starters after going off the scene in Kildare.
Kirwan always gets bottled up but shoots anyway. In the end he was hiding out the field.
Ben McCormack did his usual carry it into traffic on the big arc before losing it...

These are main men up top...we are so open at the back but everyone knows this.

Some of the very basic errors are a joke and I always say no other team have such an ability to not learn year on year.

Like that was bad club standard at times.

KILDARE can't win a Leinster...
BUT THE DUBS...
Kildare can't beat Fermanagh...BUT THE DUBS?

We have the worst kip of a ground in the country for 25 years.
No streaming of club games and general lack of vision.

Thank you to people defending us and Meath. Leinster is goosed but Christ we don't need to lie down every year either.

Just to jump on here as I work in D4 and this week the roads around are nice and quiet as the schools are off. Come next week the X5, X7s and other monster truck EVs will be back out dropping the one kid to school in a place where they are really well served with public transport and bike lanes.

They need to stop subsidising rich people buying massive SUVs and put money into public transport.

Well because the Dubs are going into a serious set-up and can be eased in. They don't need a load of players every year whereas we bring lads into chaos and a dressing room with no real leaders and a set-up that's often one year away from a heave. Then they just lose their way.

Also, for a lot of those teams we had a lot of physically big athletic lads who can't do it with fully grown men. The lack of in game intelligence with Kildare at senior levels is a joke too.

That U20 team has serious young lads who had grit and desire, but they will just be lost in the mix again. Sure FFS the Captain and midfielder of the 2018 U21 team was on the bench v Fermanagh while the goalie on that team was starting wing forward...he was hauled off at half-time. We are wasting any hope.
