I wonder will the kildare fans be queueing up outside Breifni to get Jelly's autograph like last time?

[Donnellys Hollow]

We certainly won't be racking up 3-20 like last time anyway.

Barry Reilly is too light, heavy pitch, strong wind, physical opposition. It'll be attritional, I'd rather see Corr or McEnroe if available. Kildare will be very dangerous and will have to go for broke tonight or else face Division 3 next year. We need to see more from Dunne tonight, I would back Terry to the hilt in his decisions usually but his insistence in persisting with Dunne who isn't performing anywhere near good enough is frustrating.

Will you be bringing your "we love Seanie" posters?

No need for the digs. Donnellys hollow was against the transfer anyway

No but I can bring 18 months worth of post and junk mail from a vacant apartment in Straffan if it's any use to you?

Only a bit of banter, rodders. DH - there's probably a few boxes of teabags in the house too that u can drop back to him.

I very much doubt that a Cavanman would be leaving unused teabags after him!

Was he not a Kildare man at the time?

You can take the man out of.........

I'd say he brought his hurl back home with him and used it for firewood!

I know what shouldve been done with his hurl!
This is a big game for Cavan and Hyland. If he doesn't do something to fix the full forward line it will be hard to keep the faith much longer, we need them scoring. 3 points from play between Dunne and Mcdermot is a poor return. Is Argue fit? I would stick him into the full forward line and let him cause some bother. Saving the U-21s is all well and good but at this stage would we rather win another Ulster U21 or stay in Div 2?

Another disappointing day for us. Two key moments went against us, firstly the penalty which I felt was pretty harsh but when the ball broke  the referee clearly impeded the Cavan defender who tried to go down on the ball, it breaks to Kildare and in the net. (at the end of the 2nd half when he interfered with a Cavan attack he threw up the ball). That aside the red card for Damien O Reilly was the killer. Damien needs to have a long hard look at himself as this was totally stupid and gave Kildare a chance against the wind. It could be a big red card as it may be the one that gets us relegated. 

A couple of professional fouls by Kildare prevented us getting in for a goal which may have made a game of it.

In fairness to Cavan we tried something different in the forwards but it just didn't work as the ball in was not good enough. McDermott does so much right but then foolishly runs into contact and gets turned over. Martin Reilly doing the same. I really worry for us now, hard to see where the next 3 points are going to come from.

Dont think the ref beat us but the goal was a joke. A clear throw ball. Thr difference today was that Kildare took their scores from distance when they had the wind, Cavan were unable to do the same. Cavan hadnt a clue how to play with the wind, nothing learned from last week. Damien O'Reilly's red might have been a small bit harsh i thought, but if you do stupid shit like that you are leaving yourself open to it. Why did he get involved? I think we might have gotten something out of the game if he hadn't been sent off. Kildare are a good strong side and had the edge over us in the physical side of things. It really highlighted how much of a loss Givney and Keating are. Both are big, strong ball winners and could have made the difference tonight.
I think we are going backwards at the minute and I'm dreading the thoughts of Monaghan. What can the management do to improve things? Who else can they bring in?

[Donnellys Hollow]

Who's the Cavan Maor Foirne lads? He'll do himself a bad turn one of these days if he's as animated as that all the time.

[rodney trotter]

Reilly would want to stop getting involved in the niggling stuff. He was sent off against Fermanagh in 2013 after less ten minutes. A big set back when he went off today, .. the delivery of ball into the full forward was poor, Clark hardly touched while he was in there.

Cavan need more physical athletic players but they don't fall from the sky. The 4 u21 winning teams have produced a lot of pacy players but on the small side, need more then that at Senior.

Cribbin and Flynn were good for Kildare, and Niall Kelly early on.
