While I would like to think that we can take Kildare I do agree with the above.

Should be the winners.

ONeill

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Tipp will ask more questions of Mayo than Limerick anyway.
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

Jinxy

The flourbag's soft, upper/middle-class underbelly will be no match for the Larries tough, working-class steel.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

One bonus for ye is that it'll be on in Longford.

Can't see us taking Armagh.

Tipp v Mayo the tie of the round. Potential banana skin for Mayo if they play like they did this time last year and presuming Tipp can improve on their poor performance v Cork. But you'd still think Mayo will win comfortably enough. Home advantage not worth a feck if the home fans don't turn up.

Sligo might give Armagh a game, and it will be very interesting to see how Carlow fare against Tyrone.

Overall it looks like results are all very predictable, but I'd be surprised if there's not a surprise in there somewhere.

Hope they do, it's not like they have the hurlers to follow for the rest of the summer now. ;D

They might but didn't give Armagh a game in the league this year and were hopeless against Galway. Hopefully the surprise results are wins for underdogs such as Carlow and Tipp.

After this round we have an open draw within the qualifiers. If the teams in bold win above you could potentially get to super 8s by beating say Louth and fermanagh/laois/cork (assuming they lose provincial final)

Of course you could get rotten luck and have two very difficult games.

There will be a big home support and hurlers gone will contribute to that. Mayo will probably bring 12k or so? We'll be outnumber but most teams are against them

I'll be very interested to see how many of the teams left standing at the business end of the qualifiers went into the pot in round 1.
My hypothesis is, if you're going to exit your provincial championship, get out good and early.
This is a particularly insidious premise in Leinster, where you know you have zero chance of winning the thing.
Meath & Kildare were both much improved in Round 1 (I know we still lost) after losing to Longford & Carlow.
If we had beaten Tyrone in normal-time, today we'd be looking at playing a round 2 team, and against anyone other than Monaghan, I'd fancy our chances.
Longford are heading into the qualifiers on the back of a hammering, but they are infamous back-door specialists, so maybe they will park the loss and embrace the challenge ahead.
If you were any use you'd be playing.
