That was criminal in a game which we were coasting in.

Much better 2nd half in certain ways but still no forward play at all. Very reliant on finnerty and afraid we are a very ordinary team. A lot of fit and athletic lads but with the new rules not feel we are still missing 2 or 3 more footballers. Of course this is without Walsh, mc daid and comer.

Replying To fathermurphy:  "Wasn't much to talk about yesterday, kildare stood back, got a taste and looked at us, 4 weeks time on a tight pitch in Newbridge we won't know what hit us with the intensity, this game will destine our championship, im really worried over yesterday's match, Wexford will be hot favourites now, Kildares aim is to stay up and are going to target wexford and offaly, Kildares Dublin game will come too soon after the wexford game .Kildare strongly believe they still can beat us, watch out Wexford"
So much positivity....

A 21-point beating will do wonders for Kildare's confidence

I don't care who likes who. None of my business. Just like those on the left that cheered Charlie Kirk's death. There's all types out there.

Replying To mintyfresh:  "Absolutely disastrous result. To be 8 points up and lose like that. Stuck in Division 3 and not ideal form heading into championship"
We are playing with a goalie / 3 defenders / 2 midfielders / 9 forwards / and then to defend our lead of 7 points we introduced 2 more forwards. While the lads were unlucky today, Wexford missed 3 other solid goal chances to our zero. It is no wonder that all the strong teams in the Division have beaten us. Hugely disappointing.

Honestly, was anyone else getting flashbacks to the Leinster Championship v Wicklow 22 months ago? That was shocking. Another year in Division 3

A good league campaign across the 4 codes. Both ladies team in div 1 finals. Hurlers comfortably retain div 1 status. Footballers a bit squeekier but we back in div 1 again . I think Cork join us next year as only div 1 counties in all 4 codes

And another exhibition of how to throw away a game brought to you by the westmeath footballers. Csnt believe we left it behind absolutely cluesless on the pitch and on the sideline. Cant control games and deserve to stay where we are in Division 3.

Replying To legendzxix:  "When Kerry were pushing for Joe Mac finals and Meath - Kildare were swapping places up and down, it was clear the Joe Mac had to expand. The chopping of the preliminary quarter finals gives great scope for a more vibrant tier 2."
Its vibrant as is. A great competition. Leave it alone.

Why do the footballers need an outside manager and the hurlers don't ??

Replying To sponger:  "And why do the footballers probably get vastly more funding than the hurlers ?"
I could be wrong but I'd imagine it is due to larger playing numbers for football than hurling. People might correct me if I'm wrong but there are 29/39 clubs in Wicklow, all of those clubs play football? How many hurling clubs are there in Wicklow - less than 10? If there was a question posed at a county board meeting about switching funds from football to hurling, how would clubs vote? I think Wicklow hurlers have done brilliant under Bosco and I hope they win their league final and are competitive in Division 2. On the other hand, I think Wicklow footballers have massively underachieved over the last 40+ years I've been following them. Somebody asked why the footballers have an external manager which is a fair question. It would be much better if a Wicklow man was managing the Wicklow footballers but if I look through the list of club managers in Wicklow, there are very few, if any Wicklow born managers. Who are potential managers of the footballers? In the last 30 years, only Harry Murphy and Hugh Kenny from Wicklow have managed Wicklow footballers compared to 6-7 external managers during the same period. One final comment, I don't think the footballers underachievement over the years is due to who managed them, it is a lack of a winning mentality. When Wicklow players get themselves into winning positions in important games, they stop playing, they freeze when the winning line is within sight. For me, it has to be a mentality thing.

Shambolic today. Don't see any point or advantage for Roscommon in today in Castlebar. We had a chance to get to a League Final and we were hammered. Most likely that we'll be back to McHale Park in 5 weeks but today's performance won't help. How can any senior Roscommon county selection be that bad. Our senior club champions beat their Mayo counterparts with ease and were nearly All Ireland champions. Strokestown were good intermediate champions. Shades today of that dreadful day in Croke Park against Mayo in August 2017 when a huge Roscommon support slumped out of Croker after a hiding in the quarter final replay. Mayo love doing a number on us but I see no excuse for that Roscommon performance today. Totally takes the gloss off a good League campaign.

Good luck to Wexford. Can't fault them in our loss. PS. Whittaker and Cooney were immense today."
Whittaker especially had an amazing game. Hard luck lads.

This Galway team are way off it in terms of the new rules. So slow moving the ball. Handpassing around the ark. Also what's the story with playing about 8 backs on the team?

Replying To Spinx:  "I don't think we are ready to go up. We have being gradually improving over the 2 campaigns under Solan. I just think if we go up this year, we'll be straight back down."
After the never give up attitude shown today, the last part of my message is null and void!! Fair play to the players, but especially Mike Solan who has, bit by bit rebuilt this team. There will be some good tests for them next year. Onto next week, although it would be great to win a bit of silverware, we have to remember that just getting promoted is a huge huge step forward for this very young squad. Enjoy your night tonight lads as it is richly deserved.

Replying To GDL:  "Great win, it wasn't looking great for a long time. The changes were positive when they came. Mulhern is a joy, always looking to kick. Rob was brilliant but for the penalty. Finally, we need to sort out the long range frees and get McDaid back."
Mulhern I think is getting turned over more than others on the team. He needs a fair bit of strengthening over the winter to hold off the first tackler.
