This will probably be played in Thurles, not a happy venue apart from a league win over Tipp a few years ago and the Trip to Tipp in 90 and 91, our knock-out record here is not great. Kerry beat us in the qualifiers in 2002 with a Brosnan wonder goal the highlight, Kerry beat us in u21 AI final in 2008, Tommy Walsh being the destroyer and last year in the minor AI quarter final beaten again by Kerry. Jesus hopefully the game will be against Cork.

The reward if Kildare win a quarter-final away to Dublin or a quarter-final at a neutral venue against Cork/Kerry. Sure if you're not in the game you can't win.

Kildare never play well against coastal counties.

I remember hearing about a bunch of Kerry lads from Killarney who made a mint backing Brosnan as any-time goal scorer during his forward years with Kerry with the bookies. Seems like it took an age for the bookies to twig what a goal threat he was.

Pity there is such a high number of coastal counties in Ireland.

Kildare will be up against it in the game - I don't think the 6 day turn around will help all that much but I do think Kildare would have a better chance with Cork.

I expect either Cork/Kerry to win this one.

No way!

Will be Cork v Kildare. Thurles. Cork have too many good footballers to slip up against Kildare.

Happy with that draw. The odds are it'll be the end of the line but I think Kildare will give a much better account of themselves then they did in the Dublin game.

If we assume Dublin will win their AI quarter, then Kildare's next three games are Cork, Kerry, Dublin or Kerry, Cork, Dublin.
I'm fine with that but worried three tricky games might take it out of us ahead of the final.

Acutally I'm wrong, amn't I, in that the Munster champions are on the same side as the Ulster champions?

Making our likely path to Sam Cork, Kerry, Donegal, Dublin.

Perfect.

Up Leinster.

I'd be worried about complacency when we get to the final. Would be like 98 when we knocked Dublin(95), Meath (96) and Kerry (97) out in a row.

Who do we play in the Goal Challenge?

Our minors, probably the 2nd best team in Ireland.

I thought Dublin's 1/4 final is vs the winner of Kildare/Munster runner up?
