    In the last few minutes of an important match, Mayo are capable of beating themselves!

    Rubbish

    they haven't a Connacht title for how many years - is it 3 now? and haven't even made the Connacht final in that time

    Even on Saturday we gave them a fair run for their money until the last few mins and we're nowhere near the upper echelons on football counties

    If Kildare people got as worked up about improving that dump of a ground in Newbridge as they are about where this match is played they’d have a 50,000 capacity all seater stadium by now that would be capable of hosting any game.

    This heat is taking it's toll on the machines. Had to clean out the radiator guard 3 times today with all the dust that was flying around while tedding and raking

    Same as that for ourselves here the past 5 mornings. And we're only reclaiming land with the diggers which wouldn't be very dusty. But there is some amount of ****e in the radiators when they are cleaned.

    With the new super 8's and provincial hurling round robin series Stadia will be a huge issue. It was hard all along for Counties in Leinster to provide Stadia as all big games were send to Croke Park. Munster is an unusual province in that because of the number and quality of Stadia. All counties except Waterford have acceptable stadium. Clare's might be a bit small but it still has a capacity of 18K I think the rest are all over 35K and have good quality terraces.

    For Leinster teams it was a tough call to spend money on a stadium capable of having a capacity of greater than 20K. Would the cost of such a stadium be 10-20 million now. Pairc Ui Coimhe cost 80 million with a capacity of 45K. With the GAA rules about holding other games it is hard to recover the cost of such a stadium.

    However I would be critical of former Leinster football powerhouses such as Kildare, Meath, Offaly and Laois . The money has neither gone into stadia or into Youth development. They have used the excuse of Dublin's finances to cover there inability to develop there own youth academys. While Offally have a population issue and play two codes the other three have no excuses

    Mayo are without a decent midfield at the moment.  S. O'Shea and parsons both out for the foreseeable future which means A. OShea and O'connor would be probable choices to be pulled out to midfield.  Kildare would most likely play Moolick and Feely in midfield which in my opinion Kildare would win the battle for Midfield easily.  I think midfield will be the deciding factor on the day as forwards are well matched with Kildares accuracy having improved over the past two games and Neil Flynn is back in the side which was the free taker we so badly needed in the League and game against Carlow.
    The major factor i think on Saturday will be Kildare will have a massive point to prove and i think Mayo will feel the wrath of it. Theres no doubt that once played in St Conleths park Kildare will be well up for it and the talent of lads like mcnally, chris mccormack etc will mean if a man runs himself into the ground for 45/50 minutes a fellow just as able will be coming on to take his place.

    Aidan O Shea and diarmuid O'Connor are more than adequate in centre field....oconnor won all-irelands in multiple codes and played excellently vs tipp.

    No doubt kildare have some nice players but they struggled against longford and lost to carlow. Surely,there has to be more than one decent free kick taker in the county other than flynn.
    Have kildare improved from 16.

    Who have Mayo to replace them in the forwards then? Loftus would be the only player i could think of to come on .  
    Plenty of experience in the Kildare outfit too. 3 Hogan cup winning players, big runs in the u21's. 3 former professional afl players.  Mayo also lost there first match and struggled in their last match for large periods of the game.

    Know how a rotisserie bbq chicken feels after yesterday. Gave 11 hrs up on Big modern JD with all in one glass doors no side windows and aircon not working. Back window opened for all the good it would do. Funnelling heat off back end into cab to keep temp at a steady 185°c
    Air con is a necessity in these new tractors. Getting rid of side windows in favour of huge doors is a mistake IMO.

    Is there room for an ice box in the tractor? Plenty of chilled water is the only job.
