(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Should be interesting clash to see McGeeney faced with his old team.......how do people see this going?

kildare will win but id rather play Armagh or down as a dublin fan. Can't get kildare obviously and we've played monaghan recently so would like someone different so hope armagh win..... and we get them in the draw if monaghan win or down if kildare win

Tight one. Armagh have the momentum whilst Kildare might be flat after the Leinster Final. Kildare to shape it hopefully.

Interesting game and will play close attention as Tyrone may play the winners. I was very impressed with Kildare v Meath and if they play with that passion and strength I would take them to get a narrow win.

If Kildare are serious about improving on each game I'd be confident of a win. Form is good and they have shown plenty of grit as well.

Think this will be close, especially if Kildare are still a bit flat after the Leinster final. The fact that Kevin Feely can now play wil be a big boost to Kildare.

I expect Kildare to run out winners by 4/5 points.

Pleased to see Feely get black rescinded, he'll be huge boost to Kildare. Thought they played some lovely football in Leinster Final. There half forward Slattery(?) looked menacing when he got service and Flynn was great as well. Scored one of the best points we'll see this year.

I'd think mood is good in camp. No one goes out to lose but they put credible performance against AI Champs.

The chance to stick one to McGeeney will be great motivator too for some.

Armagh on roll too.

Set up to be good match. Like to see Kildare do it. Quarter final place would be a good result for year (with Div 1 promotion) and will lift competition in province.

Armagh are average. Kildare obviously didn't beat Dublin, but they certainly weren't disgraced either. Although teams' motivation at this stage can be hard to read, if both teams are going for it, you'd expect Kildare by 3 or 4 points.

Have seen Kildare up close and Armagh on the TV, the lilies look to be a better side but it'll probably be close.
I'll go for Kildare!

Agree with all you say Aido, except putting one over on McGeeney. He gave it everything while in Kildare and put a bit of pride back in the jersey. Armagh will be well prepared thats for sure.

Got a feeling Armagh will edge this by a couple of points. Mind you I said the same about us v Waterford last Sunday so don't be off down the bookies based on my total lack of crystal ball.

In fairness I like what Kildare are doing and they form serious opposition - Armagh are starting to get their mojo back but worry about their defence - really a 50:50 one but I give Kildare the nod because they've played the best at minute in the Dubs and it's Croker - however won't be surprised at Armagh win. So really haven't a clue!!!!

Yeah both counties have a decent support and it's good they're moving in the right direction. Let's be honest though, anyone else in the QF line up would smash them out of sight!

Kildare by 4+. Armagh are a very pale shadow of what they were. Tipp caused them a lot of problems and Kildare look bigger and stronger than Tipp.

Armagh looked very good beating a very good Tipperary team, but Kildare have been consistent all year and i fancy us to win,

Anyone else in the quarter final line up would smash who out of sight?
