Offaly, Roscommon, Louth, Derry, Carlow, Waterford and now Offaly taking hidings in the Championship. There is a gap emerging that was not in football a few years ago when the back door came in. Hope I'm wrong and that all go on to aquit themselves in the Back door.
Offaly's hiding was so bad they had to be named twice.

Plenty of big teams have shipped hidings in recent years too, including ourselves (!), Dublin, Down and Tyrone.
Also, Carlow drew with us last week.
There won't be many hidings dished out in the qualifiers.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

I think O'Connor would be better off having a pop himself, he has the ability but is obviously working to a game plan.

I think this is something that needs to be worked on. Other teams will cop onto the fact that he's unlikely to have a crack himself and swarm him when he comes down with the ball. He finds it hard enough to get frees as it is given his size and strength. He's well able to take his points but just seems to lack a bit of confidence at times. I recall him kicking some good points when he was full-forward on Crofton's team before all his injuries. I love the physicality that he brings to Kildare's game but he only kicked four points during the league which isn't really enough from an inside forward.


Agree with that lads......................Ive seen that lad do He-Man proud by winning ball around the square only to consistently and constantly hand it off elsewhere........................he should be allowed to have a go at goal

No disrespect to Offaly, but as poor as they are, Kildare should have at least  kicked one goal

It is a very good photo, but it's a bit disconcerting the way everyone is looking in different directions, including the players. And Kildare have 2 number 9s!!! I demand a 'subsgate' type inquiry, albeit without any mention of a replay.

Pádraig O'Neill is in it twice, as is Rob Kelly, Mick Foley and Peter Kelly. Eoghan O'Flaherty is in it three times!

A few of our lads don't appear to be on the field at all however. McGrillen, Morgan O'Flaherty and Tomás Connor have all vanished.  :o
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

So this is what it's come to.
The flourbags are now cloning players.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

I see there's a Kildare player, after knocking an Offaly player senseless, is trying to help him to his feet. That's sportsmanship.

Are you being serious?

Ard-Rí

Kildare people are getting very sensitive all of a sudden.

It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Perhaps Ohtoohtobe was asking if I was serious about the sportsmanship bit?
;D
