Kildare v Sligo

[seafoid]

I've put together a tactical preview here for anyone interested http://action81.com/blog/?p=6035

Very worried that you might be right Emmet. Kildare really need to up it several gears or we will be beaten.

I wonder for how much longer the 'full swarm defence' will be a feature of the game. What will fuball look like in 2022?

Remember the days when coming back from injury you'd be given an easy run out at corner forward?

No team now can afford to carry a passenger on the team, your either fully fit or on the bench. Most corner backs are very fast so you would be shown up if you aren't 100% fit running for a 50/50 ball, ff is different as its more direct high ball, not relying totally on fitness.

Best of luck to Sligo today, hoping my adopted county can do the business that my own county couldn't. A lot will depend on whether they were able to get their act together to focus on this game after the disappointment of losing the connacht final. If they don't it could be another result like against Down a few yrs back in Breffni.

That was a six-day turnaround from a Connacht final where they were favoured to win for the first time in their history. Losing a tight one to a nationally rated Mayo team and having two weeks to recover, nevermind that previous experience, should mean whatever happens today should have next to nothing to with the Connacht final.

It shouldn't have a bearing but doesn't mean it won't.

If Kildare win tonight they will draw Dublin in the quarter final. It's the only potential draw that would comand a full house at Croke park. The Gaa don't want Kerry and Dublin meeting at the quarters stage . It's too early. So it's the dubs I'm afraid!

could we please give these fixed draw theories a rest.They are getting tiresome at this stage and until some body comes up with proof, I do not think anybody wants to hear about it.
