    Yeah they've had one or two minor knocks but it has more or less been as you were since the Wicklow game back in April.

    Laois were well beaten by Galway yesterday so on paper this match should be much harder than the Leinster Final. Winners tomorrow will face Kerry on 28 August.

    Why?! Galway beat Mayo by 6 points, we beat Laois by 11 points and Galway beat Laois by 7 points (Galway conceded 8 points in the last 12 minutes) ! On paper we should beat Mayo if you are going by that analysis!

    Of course it will be different on the day but if I was a bookie, I'd make us favourites

    Bookie Logic: Us 1/2 Mayo 7/4 Draw 4/1. :D:D

    Laois were blessed with the draw to reach the final. I would expect this to be more of a test like the Leinster Semi Final in Navan than the Leinster Final in Croke Park which Kildare were never in any danger of losing.

    That said I'd be confident that if this team plays to their potential that they will have enough in the tank tomorrow.

    Ref is absolute cat. Took him 10 mins nearly to sort out the scuffle. Jimmy Hyland was on the ground with 3 mayo players on top of him yet he got black carded

    You would think KFM, for a county quarter final could just dedicate the full two hours to the match. Instead of playing silly 1980s tunes at half time, get a former player in for the afternoon or something and analyse the game live.

    More goals in the Mayo forward line, Kildare seem to have a bit more quality though.

    Marnell and Masterson seem to be taking over in midfield now. The wind is an obvious factor in this game.

    Robinson is a fine little player.

    Kildare pulling away now.

    Referee's awful. Jack Robinson is the winning of this game for Kildare at the moment.

    Great win, well done to all involved.

    Scoreline probably flattered Mayo considering the referee thought it necessary to black card Jimmy Hyland n the first half. He came across as a right jobsworth.

    The black card has to go, it's ruining games.

    Thanks for beating the Dubs. To be fair, Kildare and Meath were the best two sides in Leinster by quite a long way. As was said, Laois were blessed to reach a Leinster final.

    As an aside, I can feel ructions coming down the line in Kildare with our club championship in full swing, it'll be interesting to see if these minors will be released to play for their clubs, many of which rely on a lot of these lads.

    No reason why not. The semi final is almost a full month away.

    Players choice at end of the day and I know for sure most players on that panel wont want to risk themselves. Nor will clubs put any pressure on them.

    players choice! like an intercounty gaa player could wrap their head around that concept, if there's one thing for certain it is that it wont be the players who get to decide

    You're on a roll today. :rolleyes:

    The players won't decide, they can't choose what games they can play, there's lots of time and money invested in these lads, if they're told they can play club championship, they will have to.

    Clubs won't put pressure on the young lads themselves but they will let their feelings known with the CB. Again, it's the clubs who have produced these players and it's only right they can use them for championship. The likes of Ballyteague and Clogherinkoe rely heavily on Hyland and Robinson, not every club can field 3 or 4 teams like the Sarsfields and Moorefields of this world.
