Cavan v Kildare

[mup]

All the cameras will be at the club hurling in Kildare.

Sure don't RTE have the inside track into all things hurling in Kildare these days.

[heffo]

Surprised it's not on the box.

Its on the same day as provincial finals not a hope in hell of it being on the television

I was referring to the decision to schedule it at a time when it clearly wouldn't be shown on tv.

This isn't a great draw for Cavan at all...

Despite yesterday's result you'd have to figure Kildare are still in the Top 6 teams in the country   (Ya couldn't find too many to put ahead of them other than Kerry, Cork, Dublin, Tyrone and Donegal... and well Meath too I suppose)

Wanted to avoid them, Tyrone and Kerry in the draw.... Hard to know what way the inevitable media circus will have on the match and/or the two teams but I doubt Kingspan Breffni Park will have seen anything like it before

Top 6, you've been reading the Sunday World again. Jez, who have Kildare beaten (of worth) in 5 years? What trophies have they won? Why are they an annual participant in the Back door? Why have they played most of their League football outside of Division One?

Last weekend was seen as a surprise just like last years defeat to Donegal, Just like the year befores defeats to Down and Louth, just like their 2008 defeat to Wicklow.

Look as far as Ranking goes there is a Top 3. Then there are about 4 or 5 other teams who can cause a surprise, each no better than the other.

I hope Johnston plays but I bet he and kildare will chicken out and not follow through with the mess they started . Win lose or draw we will be cacan at the end of the game and I just hope Johnston plays so everyone from cavan in the crowd can see what he is when walks on the sacred breffni pitch in a kildare Jersey. Have kildare and sean Johnston the balls to finish what they started?

[Dinny Breen]

They will be hoping for a good gate in this one.

Do Kildare travel in big numbers around the country DH?

Yeah we've quite a decent travelling support. I know there are some that are disillusioned with the whole setup at the moment but most of the hardcore will travel regardless.

Sure it's a handy commute from Kildare to Cavan these days afterall!

Will travel up Sunday and while I think we'll win and want us to win well, part of me is of the opinion that a loss might not be the worse thing that could happen to Kildare football.

I'd say there'll be changes next year regardless of how the seniors go for the rest of the year. The clubs' lack of access to their county players cannot continue for much longer not to mention the inevitable financial cuts in order to balance the books. There was a fairly lively county board meeting tonight I hear. No prizes for guessing what issue dominated the agenda.

As a Longford man, I'm just dreading Glen Ryan leaving us to take the Kildare job next season. Unless Geezer wins Sam his future is over. Most decent Kildare people would swap right now. The Johnston saga has pulled a great county into an awful place one that is making them enemy no1 in the rest of Ireland. The same player hardly got a kick of the ball in last years game against us and it's been awhile since he performed to any great level in the c'ship against a top team. He scouted two other counties last winter before the lilies bought into it. Fact.

Geezer's a bluffer, only embarrassing yis. Best thing Kildare could do would be to get rid of him as soon as possible.............

He's waiting for the final. Only a matter of just toggin out in these qualifiers sure.....

Losing to Meath and then Cavan two weeks later would be pretty bleak whichever way you look at it. Dont throw the towel in just yet. We were 7/1 to win Sam on Saturday, we cant be tht bad. A couple of wins would have us playing likes of Clare/Sligo/Meath/Down for a place in the quarter finals. Not all doom and gloom.

Interesting....
Care to elaborate?

[Main Street]

Kildare supporters have the odd dramatic bout of fatalism whenever they get beaten in the early rounds, only to recover when the ball gets rolling again.
However, I sincerely hope that Cavan puts these GAA robots to the sword.

And its def going to true as he has fact at end of message.

Seanie is a fool. Kildare are a one trick pony and at least Cavan are on the up. He should have stayed and fought for his place, let himself down a bagfull.
