I wonder if Rochford will be back for another year? I rate him highly but I just don’t know if he can take this group any further now. The dreamer in me wants to see Horan back for one more go at it with the same group but that’s unlikely for a lot of reasons and I’m not sure if he could do anymore than Rochford has.

Could be a difficult rebuild ahead with all the injuries and possible retirements.

Hard luck to mayo.may the players enjoy a few pints tonight and relax for the summer.they have serious mileage done this past few years and owe nothing to anyone.you wouldn’t know the rest could do them good and freshen the heads.

We need a change of ideas at the top. Thanks and good luck Stephen.

i think its the end of Stephen Rochford too. Some strange subs, Loftus should have been brought in earlier and Donal Vaughan comes back for his first start of the season when the game is at a crucial point (not blaming him at all)

Over the last few years with a dearth of forwards, I could never understand how Rochford hasn`t given Loftus more game time.

franklyon

Yeah don't think we were going to go must further than the Super 8's this year anyway. It will be good for the players to get that break both mentally and physically.

Better team won. Our lack of midfield options was going to get found out eventually. Better to go now than get wiped out later.

Yeah but in fairness if Leitrim has a ground with nearly twice the capacity of st conleths, but the county only has a 7th the population of kildare. If leitrim can have that why not every other county??

If a county feels it`s ground`s capacity are suitable for their own needs I would not see why they should feel the need to go into debt to facilitate visiting teams.
Dublin`s county pitch doesn`t have the capacity to handle the vast majority of even their games, so should not the same apply to them ?

Hard luck today, but after that result the GAA will have fun attempting to change venues based on ground capacity.

Honestly, I was a bit fearful of the Super 8s.

Too many question marks against the team this year.

Andy was always going to find it very difficult to repeat last years form.

Cillian wasn't at his sharpest either, he had some injury problems too.

Everyone knows losing Tom, Seamie and Harrison had weakened us.

Regrouping might be the best thing in long run.....although hard to take right now

Fair play to Kildare for performing.... after all they've been through this week

After the performance against Tipp, this shouldn't be much of a surpise I suppose.

Disappointing obviously, but some part of me thinks thank f**k we are out now instead of going on further and possibly end up losing another final. That scenario was getting to be well nigh unbearable at this stage. Great adventure since 2011 with these lads. They don't owe anybody anything.

Cosmo Kramer

Out in June for the first time in 8 years. Anyone else a bit relieved to get a break from it all for a summer?

Might be the end of the team, might be the rest they need to come back and have another shot at it next year.

cocoman

End of an era.

martyos121

Well that’s it then. Could be a tough couple of years ahead now until some new blood rises up to the requisite level.

[Deleted User]

Well that my friends is that.

franklyon

Well done to Kildare, very disappointed but we looked a tired team all year. Time to give tired minds and bodies a rest, get the injuries cleared up, the loss of Tom Parsons and SOS meant that we were always going to be up against it this year.

Panrich

As well off losing at this stage.

That team just didn't have the legs for another run at the qualifiers.

End of the road.

Loafing Oaf

Vindication for #NewbridgeorNowhere I guess...

Very questionable bringing in Loftus cold in the dying minutes.

I'd expect the GAA to make the necessary changes so they won't be in this situation again. Does it have to go Congress though to do it?

Seeing as they have been using the bluff of health and safety to change venue before being caught out this week, I imagine they will have to go to congress if they are going to try and change it.

I would not see them having a hope in hell at congress.
It would be looked at by the majority of counties in the same way as a second tier championship.
How many 3rd. 4th. or even 2nd. division teams actually need a 20,000 capacity ground for their games other than the once in a lifetime they draw one of the big teams ?
They would have better things to put their money into.

The GAA have been playing fast and loose with health and safety, making it up as they go along, and many counties are feed up with it.
Neither have they done themselves any favours with the Super 8`s with Dublin now having Croke Park for their one home game and at least one of their neutral games. Two in the unlikely event of Kildare progressing.

Yeah but in fairness if Leitrim has a ground with nearly twice the capacity of st conleths, but the county only has a 7th the population of kildare. If leitrim can have that why not every other county??

Make some god damn changes

I think I would prefer it if we were 3 down at this stage.

Really big miss by Durcan when he got that point. Goal would have killed it.
