All Ireland Senior Football Quarter Finals 2012

[Man of Kent]

Not last year, all four provincial winners reached the semis! Good chance of the same happening again this year. Kildare are not rated (for now). They were well beaten by an average Meath team and had difficulty against Limerick. Kildare have not beaten (or got far enough to beat) Kerry, Cork, Dublin and Donegal.

Ok. The season before?

What about dates and times for these games? Presume the jacks will be give a stand alone on the BH Monday?

Dubs will be 2nd game on Saturday

Do you know the days for the other games, any game on bank Holiday Monday this year?

Thats far from confirmed but I'm guessing:

Sat: Cork v Kildare, Dubs v Laois
Sun: Down v Mayo, Donegal v Kerry

[heffo]

Mayo have most cause to be happy out of the eight teams drawn imo.

They'll either face a Laois team who they'll fancy to beat or a very undercooked Dublin team.

Ah, i'd say must provincial chamions are happy to have avoided Kerry! Believe me as the week drags on Down won't look as soft of a draw. Remember the guts of this Down team were in an AI final 2 years ago.

Cork v Kildare would be the marquee pairing why would they be curtain raiser to Laois v Dublin?

How so? Cork will bring about ten fans and Laois beat the team who beat Kildare.

Dubs are AI champions.

As much as I'd prefer Dubs to be on first, they've always been second on the bill for every game since Croker was the Quarter finals/qualifiers were introduced

That's the thing with Kildare they tend to lose close games against the stronger teams.

Would very much like to believe this, but just can't see it. We just aren't good enough to win a 6th Sam with this side, but we might be good enough to beat Mayo.

Down got mauled by Donegal in the Ulster final. Surely they won't progress passed the last eight?

Wouldn't dream of writing ANYONE off. That's one of the things I like about GAA. After the Ulster final perhaps I should be praising Donegal rather than writing off Down.
