    It's a Mickey Mouse cup.
    You don't deserve a trophy unless you finish top of the table which you didn't
    Kildare are paper champions

    I know Felexicon is only on a wind-up but he's right all the same, this really is only a mickey mouse cup and nothing to get excited about. This Kildare team have been progressing well over the last few years and should be eyeing bigger prizes at this stage. No harm in winning the division 2 title but it's nothing to write home about either, and I'm sure McGeeney thinks that way too.

    Genuine congrats to Kildare, were very, very good yesterday, Fogarty looks a talent, and he could be the person who need to get those 4/5 points from play I reckon you will need in the big games come the summer.

    Mickey Mouse Cup or not, consistency has been shown this year and should be a good Leinster campaign and if Dublin / Kildare are to meet (which they should) it will be a great game.

    Kildare have shown bottle in beating Tyrone that's what I am really excited about, they showed great bottle in second half IMO

    Nobody is talking bout being champions as he has stated the fans are excited the lads are performing well that is all

    The big positive from Kildare yesterday was the performance of the defence. To hold Tyrone to five points from play was a great effort. Bolton had been superb going forward recently (two goals and winning a penalty in as many games) but he was sacrificed yesterday to do a job on Mulligan. McGrillen shut Cavanagh out and Morgan O'Flaherty hoovered up plenty of loose ball. Ollie Lyons has added some much needed pace over the past twelve months and great to see Kelly (my MOTM) back to his best after his injury.

    Up top, Smith and Kavanagh have had better days but Podgie Fogarty showed we have options when things aren't working out.

    To be far it was a great performance yesterday and a well deserved win. If Meath had won a league title yesterday I'd be crippled by a hangover today.
    I really do hope Kildare bring this form into the championship and inject some much needed life into the Leinster championship as I can't see any other team troubling Dublin at provincial level.

    Brilliant win yesterday, the fitness Kildare showed in the second half was amazing. Padraig Fogarty was difference IMO, he came on and scored 3 points, set up 1 and won a free that was converted, hopefully he can keep up that form for the championship. Inspired substitution from McGeeney.

    I thought Peter Kelly was impressive on Mulligan, Mikey Conway's passing was top drawer throughout. JD as usual was excellent and scored a point from a sideline at the end. It's good to show we are capable of beating a team like Tyrone in Croker.

    On a side note very disappointing crowd there yesterday, no atmosphere whatsoever.

    When Meath were relegated myself and several others from here went into Meath thread and consoled the Meath faithful, you choose to make ill wanted comments after Kildare win div 2?? And u were relegated from same league??

    Cop on will you your argument is just stupid, half a Kildare team lost well to Tyrone first league game and lost to Monaghan again missing regulars but Monaghan played really well to be fair!!

    Kildare deserve praise not sniping comments from the bottom of the barrel ie you sir!!

    I suggest you stick to Meath forum and be constructive in discussing your counties massive problems instead of being bitter on the Kildare forum..

    Your obviously trolling, now cop on to yourself please

    I know it has its own thread but do Kildare really want/need Johnston.
    I've seen him a few times for Cavan and of course he stands out as thier best forward. But it is the best of a bad lot.
