Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[trailer]

The smaller pitch is probably worth a few points to Kildare and has certainly appeared to hinder Mayo in recent years.

Kildare are a tall team and with Mayo missing SOS & Parsons you'd imagine Kildare will press the Mayo kickout, having a quick think I can't imagine any of the top teams will have a smaller middle 8 then Mayo will have this summer after been one of the tallest for the last 3 or 4 years;I know they might play Coen in their or in the half back line but I just don't think he should be anywhere near a team thats been so close to winning an AI.

Are this Kildare team actually a tall team? Their kit is brilliant for making them look tall. A single colour, on jersey, togs and socks, always makes you look taller. Bill Shankly did the same think with Liverpool when he went to all red, rather than white togs.  I always seem to think Kildare are tall, and then when you stand beside them, they're just normal. Tall lads, short lads and medium lads.

Our middle 8 players

Moolick 6'5
Feeley  6'3
P Cribben 6'3
Conway 6'2
K Cribben 6'0
J Murray 6'2
K Flynn 6'0
Brophy 6'2 will drop out as well while N Kelly 5'8 will push in

Dan Flynn, Hyland, Kelly, Donellan and O'Grady all 6 foot plus

just checked even Neil Flynn is marked as 6'0

So not a small team not Galway Hurlers big though, just not playing well enough to win this.

A Kildare jersey makes everyone look taller, just a beautiful jersey.

Measurements no doubt, supplied by the players themselves.

Will Bradys be firing out the ham sandwiches Saturday evening, Dinny?
Great marketing opportunity in front of a global audience.

They do it every game, might pacify the thousands locked out knowing at least they will get fed.

That won't do. Time to recall big Willie Heff and Jason Phillips. Roli might as well tog out too given the amount of time he is spending on the field these days. Is that Broughal guy from Towers still around?

Jesus Brough, Moorefields favourite player, happily retired and coaching underage girls out in Kildangan, still tipping away at the odd game of rugby.

[Dinny Breen]

The GAA will try and move this to Portlaoise or Tullamore. The Kildare CB are jellyfish so it will be moved.

What a mad week

Make no mistake, management and player driven with the full support of the county.

"Sir, please! The ham is all gone!!"

[AZOffaly]

I'd say Micko went back to Waterville with a boot full of ham that day.

And the knives and forks.

Classic "Oh Jesus!" response from the Irish mammy in the sunglasses.

I don't think you'll live to see the day of a Red Ireland, seafoid.

[Jinxy]

He'll settle for a maroon Ireland.

I'd be happy with a 3 in a row, Jinxy.
