Kildare v Louth QR2

[Dinny Breen]

Not looking forward to this. The wise money should be on Louth.

I'd still expect Kildare to dust themselves down and get to the quarters....If they survive this one.

Kildare should be just good enough to get through this but it is hard to know how many beatings Kildare can continue to take and still want to come back. They must be mentally battered at this stage having been touted as the big challengers to Dublin over the last 5 years yet failing constantly. McGeeney has done a decent job and will have them as well prepared as any team in the country but he his game tactics and strategy has let him down. That coupled with the fact that they lack the necessary quality in certain areas to make the jump from nearly men to winners.

One of us will be put out of our misery, the winner only delaying the inevitable.

Louth have more natural carbon-based footballers.

Me too. They might get lucky then and meet Kerry...

Very good Jinxy.

Will this be held in Newbridge?

Aidan O'Rourke will know the Kildare players inside out and that could give Louth an edge.

Newbridge probably won't be able to hold the crowd, move it to Drogheda.

He doesn't even know the Louth panel inside out at this stage.

Jeez you louth boys are hard pleased. Surely Louth's only hitch year was a loss to wexford? Stuffing laois in portlaois and dealing with antrim more comfortably than ulster finalists monaghan isn't a bad start.

Leave our Armagh lads alone...

[The Hill is Blue]

I really feel for Kildare supporters today. I've had many Monday's like this over many years watching the Dubs. The day after is always worse than the match day itself – the adrenalin has stopped flowing and you're just left with the terrible disappointment.

The last time I felt like that was after the "startled earwigs" quarter final against Kerry (1-24 to 1-7) in 2009. That day I saw lads throwing their colours on the Hill and leaving at half time. I thought Dublin would never come back from that, yet they were All Ireland Champions only two years later.

Keep the faith Kildare. (But get a new manager – ideally a Kildare man)

Oops. Someone somewhere isn't getting picked...

Any chance this will be on the box?
