Reckon it will Dublin Wexford final again. Unfortunately would fear the Dubs would win again. Would reckon that Westmeath might be a problem for the Dubs. In general championship can be very different from the league.

Year of the Lilly will you show a bit of respect. Offally will be no push overs and every team they put out has great spirit and pride in their jersey. Wexford dont become a bad team over night and Laois always have potential. Kildare have a good team but this is championship football and all these team deserve massive respect

Goal - wat the hell are you on about>?????

Who have I disrespected??? I never said any team in the championship would be a walkover so come down from your high horse there.....

I expect Kildare to beat Offaly...if you disagree well that's your opinion.... i have mine... And the whole thing about a prediction page is to map out how you think the championship will go.... by saying x will beat y is not showing disrespect.... cop onto yourself...

So instead of having a stupid rant why dont you map out your predictions or are ya too scared to come out of the long grass???

"Yearofthelilly"

Your very very confident that kildare will beat offaly in portlaoise in 3wks time. I promise you that Offaly will be a lot harder to beat than they wer a month ago...
Your gonna be in for a shock and i hope all ur braggin and arrogance come's back to bite you in the arm!!

Offaly are like a "wounded animal" and go into this game as underdogs which i av no problem with!!
all the pressure is on the lillywhites.. Offaly are underdogs!!!

yearofthelily. Your sneer at stevie g earlier and your general tone about Offalys chances of beating Kildare were disrespectful and fabricated. I think your a clown who gives us a bad name. Personally I think we'd a good league, but based on previous few years championships we cant take anything for granted. I wont be looking beyond a narrow win against Offaly. Would love then to get to the Leinster final and get a crack at the best team in Leinster, Dublin.

'Hill 16 is going to be taken over' was a retort back at the Dublin fans - it's called humour...... Dubs are always a good laugh when it comes to posts..... you lot take it so serious..... Sure if i said Kildare to win by 89 points against Offaly would it matter.....NO!!! All that matters is on the day..... but i'm glad my sneering provoked a reaction...... I actually loved Stevie G's comments about "Offaly beating Kildare".... but because I respond I get slated by you lot..... jesus.... get a life..... Oh, and this whole sneer thing,,,, i predict Kildare to beat Offaly....i did...i do...and i will continue to do so.... We are in better form, better manager, better players, better supporters and overall have worked and trained harder.... i believe that if you work hard the results will come.... The reason Dublin have won 4 leinsters in a row is because they have worked hard the last 6 years....Kildare are only beginning to put in that certain amount of effort....Offaly are not near that level yet..... It takes more than a few weeks to prepare a team for a championship.... McGeeney has been planning towards this game since last October.... I have complete FAITH in Kildare....perhaps you so-called kildare followers should actually start to believe instead of whinging... Offaly have a proud footballing tradition...always remember Darby's great goal and the super Matt Connor but apart from Niall McNamee and Thomas Deehan they are an average side... i harbour more optimism when it comes to this young crop of Kildare footballers

Yearofthesilly, so if we are to go by your way of working it out then the Dubs are by far the best supporters in the country because they have the largest support. Great logic kid.

Kobie,

In fairness to Dublin, they do have great supporters... while not all 80,000 of them that pack into croke park are true fans, they do have an average 10,000-12,000 loyal fans that would follow them anywhere...

I'm not implying that Just because ya have a greater quantity of supporters makes the best supporters.... I know there are terrific Offaly supporters.....but not so long ago ya's played Dublin in a Leinster final and as my cousin (from Offaly) said to me in the Hogan stand - there are about 81,800 dubs and 700 offaly fans.... and ya were playing some neat football that year....

I think the best supporters are the ones who follow their team in the darkest days.... like Kildare gettin beat to Wicklow last year was prob the most dreadful day in the county's footballing history - yet Newbridge was packed for Cavan match in first Qualifier!! That brought a smile to my face,,,,

Or what about the thousands of Mayo fans that trek to Croker every year only to be left high and dry in the final....yet they still return in their droves....

One question for ya... Do you regard Offaly supporters as the best around??
