Supposed to be medial ligament damage so I'd imagine he won't be seeing a white jersey for the rest of the year. Its an awful pity as he was starting to go well there and it also would have released JD to the forwards with Flynn coming into the reckoning. Alas its not to be and we'll just have to get on with it.

If I was to have a flutter i'd have money on no goals in this game.

Would disagree I think, in Navan last week Kildare were in a few times and blasted shots over the bar.And with o' Connor causing havoc under the high ball I think we will see a Kildare goal anyway.

I respect Derry, but I am confident of a win tomorrow. Kildare by 4ish.

Tickets for Kildare’s crunch qualifier match against Derry tommorrow, Saturday July 23, at Croke Park were stolen during a robbery last night at the Hawkfield training centre and offices outside Newbridge.

Local gardai say that a quantity of tickets for the match were taken during the incident, along with a quantity of cash. The thieves also caused a considerable amount of damage at the training centre.

They broke in through a ground floor window at Hawkfield, and caused a considerable amount of damage to internal doors at the property while breaking into offices.

However, in some good news for Lilywhite fans, gardai have this morning recovered a number of the tickets, along with three laptops and some gym gear and jersies that were taken during the robbery.

It is unclear at the moment whether all, or just a portion, of the tickets taken have been recovered.

According to local gardai, CCTV footage of the raid is being downloaded.

Its in the bag so - well deserved!

So we play Donegal in the quater-final, have to say im happy with the draw once we avoided Kerry.

It will be an interesting game between to very big and physical teams, Donegal are a very defensive team so I expect it to be very tight throughout.

I wouldn't go as far as saying we're very defensive, we do defend in numbers and play a counter attacking game, our forward line is one of the best in the country. I think we have what it takes to dispose of Kildare. It'll be close but I'd say we can nick a goal or two which could be very important in a tight defensive game like this.

The battle between Mick Foley and Michael Murphy will be interesting, Foley's having a great year so far and Murphy will be a huge test for him.

[curry-muff]

Yeah, I just hope Murphy doesn't have to drop into half forward, he's much more dangerous in the full forward position, our supply into him as the start should dictate where he will end up playing. Foley has been great this year so far but Murphy is a 'different' sort of player, it'll be interesting to see how he copes.

My biggest worry though is our midfield, we were quite poor at winning our own kickouts against Derry and Kildare will have a good chance at dominating us in midfield if we can't get Kavanagh and Cassidy back to their best.
