It was lovely to watch as well compared to the shite on offer today

[Shamrock Shore]

Is it 20 years. Sweet God. That was some game alright.

I was quite pleased with the shite Kildare produced today.
The semi final against Meath should be a very good game, potential for a classic. They have an extremely potent attack but a poor back line, a clown of a goalkeeper, and an unproven midfield. Judging by the way they pulled clear today fitness shouldn't be an issue for them anymore, it was under the previous regime.
In the league game Kildare could have scored 6 goals but we had Ben McCormack on fire that day while Meath themselves created openings and have improved a lot since.

It should be a high scoring game anyway and the winner will be rightly considered to be in the top 8 teams in the country.

Cillian O'Sullivan was poor by his standards today.
Will need a big game from him the next day.

He was your best player in the league game. His direct running can cause real problems.
Niall Kelly could have got more involved today from our point of view, he is capable of a lot more and when he plays well it brings up the standard of those around him.

We have plenty of direct runners now, the problem is they often take the wrong option when they have to shoot/pass at the end of the run.
Butchered a few goal chances today.

Kildare have come on a lot. It's good to see

It was heartening to see young Jones running at them as well. We need more than just Reilly doing that if we are to win things. The last few years it was just him and he was spent by half time.

I don't think it's too much of a problem if Cillian had a quiet game if we still scored 27 points.

Fitness and mental resolve have markedly improved compared to the Mick O'Dowd years.

The subs did well when they came on too.
Did Menton just have cramp?

Any reason why Offaly Westmeath wasn't played this weekend??

[manfromdelmonte]

Any reason why Offaly Westmeath wasn't played this weekend??

gives the Dubs a chance to study them in more depth next weekend, and then those counties have one less weekend to prepare

[From the Bunker]

Any reason why Offaly Westmeath wasn't played this weekend??

It was so all the GAA people who would have gone to the Carlow/Dublin game could go to both. All seven people were delighted with this!

[Rossfan]

Jim Gavin and his 6 staff?

[Jinxy]

Is the Meath v Kildare game exclusively on SKY?
I'll be at it, so makes no odds to me but if it's not on RTE that's a disgrace.
