The same particular Kildare poster seems to only be happy in Croke Park. Hardly neutral either

True enough.

I think he believes that after all the awful persecution that the poor Lilywhites have had to endure that they should be given a bye into the quarter finals without all this nonsense about having to play some other team.

You can see his point they are a top 4 team after all ;)

I don't think Kerry would hold any fear of Donegal after spanking Tyrone. I think it would be a fantastic game, my money would probably be on Kerry. However, it would be a 50/50 game. Would love to see it happen!

How do you make that out? We've never played in the Championship. At this stage we don't fear any of the teams left and they don't fear us. Actually, I'd say the majority of us down here would fancy a crack at Donegal.

id like to see these

Dublin v kildare
kerry v donegal
mayo v down
cork v meath/laois

IF we beat laois, i dont really know why but for some reason id rather play cork than mayo. i think it would be a brilliant game too and with cork after having a big enough break it would give us more of a chance.

Say Sligo happen to beat Kildare, can Mayo meet Sligo in the 1/4s or is the rule you cant play provincial finalists in the 1/4s still there?

No they cant meet, we cant have the following Q/Finals AFAIK

Mayo v Sligo
Cork v Clare
Meath v Dublin
Down v Donegal

hence the reason theres been no draw yet.

Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6347 - 23/07/2012 17:29:17    1226478

Mayo can't meet Sligo Dublin can't meet Meath cork can't meet Clare and Donegal can't meet down.

None of the winners from Next Saturday's round four Qualifers can meet each other. The winners of Kildare/Sligo, Meath/Laois, Kerry/Clare and Down/Tipp will face Dublin, Mayo Cork or Donegal.

Tullamore or Mullingar will be packed that day...

Dublin don't play outside of Croke Park because as long as they keep making the Leinster semi finals they'll be put through to the quarter finals the following year automatically. The only games in Leinster that are played on a home or away basis (most counties have agreements with each other to rotate home advantage bar ourselves and Wicklow) are the preliminary rounds. So unless Dublin lose their first match in Leinster and fail to make a provincial semi final then there's no way they'll be drawn in the preliminary round.

Their quarter finals are played in Croker because of the crowd they bring, and even then it's often as part of a double header.

The only other way they'll have to play outside Croke Park is through the back door, something that doesn't happen often enough for you to be getting so worked up about.

If in doubt im not getting worked up at all
I just think its a bit rich of dubs to come on here saying kildare are moaning about travelling its alright for them they dont have to put money in their pockets to travel I hear what your saying there always in quarter and semi's year in year out but what about
e.g tipperary v dublin 2010 Qualifier played in croke park why? was that not played in a neutral venue oh yeah it is neutral 'parnell is the their home'
forget about the dubs but
There is also nothing wrong with me saying that we are one of the best travelling support around after losing to meath 11k kildare fans travelled to Cavan who else in the country can say that? not many thats what I meant if we have to go to the hyde we will and we will go there in a big number.

lilywhitemagic, (if there is a gaa god let it be dublin)

you had your chance to meet dublin and got hammered by an average meath team, then needed extra time to beat
limerick. Dublin will beat yee pulling up be realistic.

and people say meath are cocky supporters
