If, and IF being the biggest word in this whole paragraph, Meath come through, Id like either Mayo or Cork. Just personal preference, not a slight on either team, but would rather them than Donegal & we cant face Dublin.

My personal favourite for the Quarter finals would be Mayo V Dublin, however I would love to get Donegal or Cork too.

You really a Gaa fan Paddy?

If Kildare beat Sligo it doesnt matter. On performances to date I wouldnt fancy meeting anyone.

Jinxie ye will beat Laois.

I would love to see the Dubs and Mayo. I reckon Mayo could take them

Mayo and Dublin are provincial champions and form no part of a quarter-final discussion.

I dunno. I know on paper so far we look a bit stronger but this Meath team are such a Jeckyll & Hyde outfit ya really wouldnt know where they are at.
Just look at the 2 Carlow games. Stumbled through the drawn game, yet turned it on in the reply.

the whole 6 day thing doesnt bother me tho. If we lose, it wont be due to that. Intercounty lads train so hard so often, 4/5 times a week for 2 hours that the 2 games in 6 days isnt a massive factor, especially if the opposition have also played the previous weekend.

I think Mayo would be the perfect opponents for Kildare. Could only see a Kildare win and itd bring vital confidence going into a semi, but I wouldnt fancy Kildare to beat any of the other 3. at least not in a 1/4 final anyway.

I most certainly am sedico, look back at my previous posts I am right about most things. I predicted that Meath would beat Kildare and the Kildare would need extra time against Limerick. I predicted Antrims win over Galway, and Sligo's victory over Galway.

again these are all ifs and buts for the exercise id love to see
dublin v kildare
cork v down
donegal v kerry
mayo v meath

now reasons behind my wish list, kildare have gone on so much about the should have beat the dubs this that and other, lets put it to the test
cork down, a replay of 10 final intriguing
donegal kerry, what a match up
meath v mayo, ahh come on the history of these two counties would be enough to pay in, no matter how good mayo are the cant beat meath, and all the other stuff written about them, i think mayo would win and if they get that off their back could go on and challange
thats my wish list gotta say it be some qf round of games

Paddyogall did you predict Dublin's win over Meath ??? Or Mayo's forthcoming demise in 2weeks time unless you find two scoring forwards :)

To the Kerry man above. All Provincial champions play in the Quarter final, so they do have a say here.

Anyone but Cork if we reach the Quarters!!! We would get slaughtered again. Id' take Mayo or Dublin.

I said I Almost get everything right Jimbo. But I am correct 98% of the time. Who here predicted Tyrones 10+ victory over Roscommon and Kerry's 10+ victory over Tyrone? credit where credit is due.

You want to see Mayo v Dublin in the Quarter Finals, this can't happen so it's irrelevant. That's what he meant.

They don't have a say in terms of provincial finalist being drawn against each other when it can't happen. Dublin won Leinster. Mayo won Connaught. They cannot be drawn against each other for the quarter. If both get through their quarters, which they should, they will meet in the semi-finals.

I reckon the draw will be

Kerry v Dublin
Kildare v Mayo
Cork v Down
Meath v Donegal

no point talking about mayo v dublin it cant happen and mayo would humiliate them just like we did already this year, mayo need to be playing top teams at this stage and dublin certainly are not a top team
