2016 Leinster Football Championship

Kildare to win this pulling up.

[twohands!!!]

Wexford didn't get promoted but they did score 10-104 which was the highest total of all side in the league (sounds great but it was against Division 4 defences and batterings of Wicklow and London at home accounted for a serious chunk of this with scores of 4-23 and 4-20)
The win against Down last year was at home in Wexford Park. The Kildare lads would have more experience with Croke Park than the Wexford boys. The one thing I would be wary about for Kildare was how disorganised their defence looked in the league final - they conceded 2-17 to Clare and the defence just looked in disarray I thought [they looked like a team who would give up a lot of goal chances] - you can't just snap your fingers and get a defence sorted out. If Wexford could get an early goal I could see it being tighter than expected and not at all comfortable for Kildare but Kildare would have to have a very off day for Wexford to get the win.

Are they opening the hill for this?

Great win for Longford juniors over Cavan last night in the Leinster junior championship.

Longford were 10 points down at one stage. Final score was Longford 3-15 Cavan 2-15

By all accounts it was a cracker.

Need big performances from Flats, Neil Flynn and Cribbin to compensate for the loss of Kelly. Get that and we will probably get through a high-scoring game.

Should Wexford not have home advantage with it being a quarter final?

Only Dublin get home games in Leinster beyond the preliminary round. Kildare have huge experience in Croke Park in recent years, unfortunately it is mostly experience of defeats and humiliation. They have lost 12 of their last 15 games played there with an awful lot of hammerings thrown in the mix.

Kildare will win this by 5

I see the Nolan Park fiasco is going ahead....Only in the GAA ...A farce!!!

Is that a genuine policy?

Kildare don't do the whole 'home and away' thing in the Leinster football championship.

21 years since Kildare last had a home Leinster Championship match.

That's mental.

Utterly utterly mental.

Sure Kildare's ground can hardly hold league games it's that bad...Poor location pity for such a county that prides itself in such a big football following!...Portlaoise has nearly been their home for a few years now!

Yeah I know the ground is poor, just didn't think it was that long since they had a home game.

Someone has to bring a crowd there.
