    It's blatant enough alright. The same last year when Meath and Louth were the big story and drew each other.

    Hats off to them I say though. The GAA know a money spinner and take advantage of it when they see it.

    sure when youre at it isnt a Dublin Meath final a fix then so!

    Kildare county board are puppets of croke park working to boost their coffers by throwing the semi final and alowing a much more high profile game than a Kildare v Dublin final.

    Or......
    maybe the draw was fair and everyone is just looking for stuff to be humpy about seeing as their team couldnt beat a Div3 outfit like Meath.
    Cavan jammily avoided being a Div4 team so Kildare should have nothing to worry about. It should be an easier task than the Leinster semi.

    Easy it won't be.Cavan are generally a poor team but the performances are getting better and I think they are consolidating the panel.They put in a gutsy display against Donegal and beat Fermanagh on their own turf.

    Given that the prodigal son Seanie may step out onto Breffni in a Kildare shirt, he may be subjected to hostile crowd.Kildare may not perform given the expectation put on them and they are failing to deliver.

    Even without Seanie playing, Kildare are going to be subjected to a hostile crowd I'd imagine.

    Cavan aren't near the level Kildare are at to be honest. Terry Hyland started a 3 to 4 year plan with the Cavan team only a couple of months ago when appointed. Kildare are coming to the end of their 5th championship under McGeeney. Only last week in a Hogan Stand interview Pauric O'Reilly, team captain, commented that the team realise it takes 2 to 3 years of hard conditioning to be successful and they are only starting this.

    You are correct about consolidating the panel. I think the stat is that Cavan had had 76 different debuting players in the last five to six years. The huge change of the panel each year is not working so the plan is for Hyland to bring the lads up from the U21s that he was so successful with and have a set panel that can be worked with for a number of years, with only a small amount of additions/leavers each year.

    I'd be hopeful of us giving Kildare a game in a home match, we've players like Jack Brady, Gearoid McKiernan and Eugene Keating who are capable of causing them problems. That said, the eldest of the three lads I've just mentioned is 23 so experience is a huge problem. David Givney, a promising midfielder and great fielder when playing in the forward line, went off injured with a shoulder injury also yesterday and I wouldn't expect he'll be back.

    A hostile crowd will spur Kildare on lemlin! Cavan can be as hostile as they like Kildare will be up for it BIGTIME


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Lemlin thankfully Givney will be ready for Kildare in 2 weeks time the injury was not as bad as it seemed. I agree with the rest though, Cavan are a long, long way behind Kildare and once the ball is thrown in and the media circus is forgotten, I expect Kildare to beat us and beat us well. This is a case of showing some heart and keeping as close as we can to Kildare.

    Kildare and McGeeney will face a hostile crowd in Cavan. We are great for turning out in numbers when things are going well and I would imagine the interest in this game will bring out a large support for Cavan. Strangely this game more than any other will bring together the players and the supporters, against Donegal there was barely a murmur when Cavan took to the field. Expect a different reaction this time.

    I would imagine this to be the case. Kildare are not as bad as made out from yesterday but the draw has been kind to Kildare.After yesterdays display, I would fancy a team like Tyrone to beat Kildare if they were to reproduce the same level of performances again in the next round.

    Seanie is a lily white and we will cheer as he buries bad memories of brutal football in cavan

    yea rite:p

    i suppose your right,kidare are more than capable of blowing cavan away,thats the level they are at,but when will they be able for any of the stronger teams?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 995 ✭✭✭Hammar


    I see i'm not the only one thinking it was a fix.
    They will probably have this as a stand-alone game,hoping that they will get a big crowd of neutrals from Meath,Monaghan,Longford,Fermanagh etc who will come expecting "blood".
    Unfortunately we are not close to Kildares level at the minute ,they are a top 6-8 team whereas we are borderline top 20.
    I don't expect another Cork debacle because we have a better team than in 2010 and i don't think this Kildare team are just as good as that Cork one was,but we will struggle to keep this close.
    Kildare by 6-8 points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    The average age of Cavan's team yesterday was 23. 22 when the subs were included. There were only 3 players on the pitch for Cavan over the age of 25.

    This is very much a team in progress and I think the county knows that a Cavan team in its first year of development are no match for a Kildare team that have been playing for 5 years now under McGeeney.

    As another poster said above though, it'll be a big match for our lads on our home ground and, after the Louth Meath televised game last year, will give another chance to showcase Breffni.

    I genuinely think Cavan can cause Kildare a few problems in this one.
    It was the new Meath players that caused Kildare problems yesterday and I think Cavans young side can do the same.
    Kildare play to such a tight structure under McGeeny it strangles any individual flair from his players.
    When they were met with a fresh Meath side who showed no fear and had no baggage of prior defeats, they seemed unable to adjust. It was like they couldn't understand why the same tactics used to defeat Meath in numerous recent games wasn't working.
    Like Meath yesterday, this Cavan team will not fear Kildare as they have no history of multiple defeats to them.
    9 out of 10 times Kildare win this match up. But there is always that chance


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭AGC


    Yesterday was an awful result for Kildare and they got lucky with the Draw this morning. They should see off Cavan easily but yesterday shows that McGeeney hasn't done a good enough job with the team he has.

    How did they not use the ball into Doyle who was doing damage?? He then took him off.

    A result for football IMO after the way Kildare have carried on recently.

    Meath had a good mix of youth and experience yesterday though. Players like Bryan Farrell, Joe Sheridan, David Gallagher, Peadar Byrne, Cian Ward, Eoghan Harrington, Stephen Bray, Bryan Meade, Graham Reilly and Mickey Burke have been around that panel for a good few years now and have experience.

    The young Cavan players don't have that support. Other than Mark McKeever, Ronan Flanagan, James Reilly and Pauric O'Reilly, there's very little intercounty experience in the panel, and alot of supporters don't even want to see Ronan Flanagan starting. There's no real alternative for the management there though because the players just aren't there in the 25+ age group and that's been seen from our results over the last few years. Cavan went through a lull in the '00s where players just weren't committed and its clearly been decided that its better to start afresh with a committed, young panel then try to get older players to curb the problems of the past.

    If Cavan are within 5 points at the end, I'll be delighted.

    It is obvious what I meant, the whole thing is being played out like a circus while Meath took full advantage IMO.

    McGeeney has to take a lot of the blame.

    If I were a Kildare supporter I would be far from happy ad yesterday was the tip of the iceberg for some I spoke to yesterday in Croker.

    It may be obvious but I'm not quite sure what you mean either.
    Is it in relation to the Johnston saga? If it is I don't think that had an effect on the outcome of yesterdays game.

    McGeeney should shoulder SOME of the blame as should the players but more than anything the Meath players should be given credit for thier attitude to the game.

    If you want to say something just say it. There is no need to vague about it, you won't hurt anyones feelings

    Meath players deserve full credit, they were excellent even with the injuries. Sending off may have been harsh but Meath still would have had enough IMO.

    I think the Johnston saga has had implications, around Croke Park yesterday all people were talking about was the comical scenes of him playing in that hurling game.

    McGeeney as manager should have dealt with that whole situation months ago, it is now going to keep rumbling on because they got Cavan.

    Kildare have a panel strong enough to beat Meath and on a good day win Leinster dependant on their luck. For so much media time to be given to Seanie, who, I don't think is all he is cracked up to be, is taking away from the hard work the Kildare squad have put in themselves.

    If I was a Kildare player and watching all this unfold I wouldn't be happy knowing that he will be involved some day. certainly as a young lad coming through to see I might loose out to him would p**s me off.

    This is what Kildare football will be remembered for this year and not any success on the pitch.

    EDIT: I am not trying to drag up old news with this but the amount of time dedicated to him in themedia I feel it hasn't helped Kildare.

    I disagree with most of the points there but I'm not going to discuss the Johnston issue here as it is not the place. The regular Kildare posters here seem like decent lads and I don't want to derail the thread.
    If you would like to discuss it with me feel free to pm me or start a new seanie johnston thread

    Not only that. He has Longford playing some very good football. I think at the moment Kildare have better pure footballers than they get credit for. With the shackles of McGeeneys system taken away I actually think they could achieve alot more.

    The Cavan job isn't available. We're quite happy with Terry Hyland. He delivered three Ulster U21 finals in 3 years and two Ulster championship winning U21 teams.

    He has more than earned his shot at the top job in the county.

    But the Armagh job is, presumably that is what he meant. I dont think McGeeney has done a particularly good job with Kildare actually, have never understood the fascination with either him or this team. Yesterday made Meath look a lot better than they actually are. Remember they needed two goes just to get past Carlow. McGeeney has failed to win a two/three horse race five years in a row now.

    Glenn Ryan has done a great job with Longford and would bring Kildare on another bit. A Leinster is achievable for this team, would say any more than that is beyond the limits of their ability. Another mazy run through the qualifiers lies in wait for them now but the next time they meet a top 6 team (which they are not themselves) they're likely to come up short.

    Has he really done a great job at Longford though? They've got some fabulous players who are household names yet this year's game against Laois is the only Leinster Championship game that Longford have won since Ryan took over in 2009. They also snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the replayed Wexford game. He has done well to get them to division 2 and in the championship they've had the scalp of Mayo a few years back and ran Kerry close, but Derry are an atrocious team this year so beating them wasn't really a shock in my view.
    Personally I think the jury is still out on Ryan as a manager.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,041 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    I think he's done well considering it's Longford we're talking about here. They do have some good players but have a very small pick. There's not much between Longford and Leitrim in terms of population and clubs but he has Longford able to give anyone a game when, size wise, they should be one of those teams, like Leitrim, that some people want to make a B Championship for.

    I think he deserves a shot with a bigger team and with McGeeneys time coming to a natural end with Kildare, he seems like an obvious choice to come in. Really, the jury will be out until he manages someone else, because he can't be expected to be at the business end of the championship with Longford.

    it will take more than glenn ryan and the present kildare squad giving there hearts on a plate to him to win a leinster ,never mind an all ireland,

    this team is just not good enough,no natural scoring forwards end off.

    Don't forget Glenn also took Kildare U21's to an AI final in his one and only year in charge.

    He's a very good manager IMO.

    Why do you think the County players would play any harder for the Ryan?

    Have you spoken to many of them about how they feel about playing under Geezer?

    How he helped Smith in his personal life by getting some others to come down and talk to him,such as McConville etc.

    How he had the panel in tears in the Keadeen they year they lost in the semi.

    How 4 county players have told me they would walk on hot coal for him.

    That a player at my own club who is no longer on the panel has said he has never met a more dedicated and intense man and he drove the best out of every player.

    Ryan has done a good job so far but Kildare have beneifted greatly from having two "outsiders" in as manager.

    Geezer deserves more respect than talking about Ryan coming in now.

    How he facilitated the transfer of a player from another county rather than stay loyal to the young Kildare players at his disposal?

    That's helpful johnny, thanks. He's given plenty of lads chances. If a pal of yours didn't make the panel, there must be a reason. It's not Geezer's fault they're a bit behind the rest.

    The players I have spoken to all seem to have no problem with Seanie and in fact one of the players most under threat(Alan Smith) has seemingly taken it as a reason to improve his attitude and effort for what its worth.

    I know how the lads feel about mcgeeney he isn't just a manager they count him as role model, friend etc too!!!

    I'm not trying to belittle him he has done wonders for the county there is no doubt about that!! But I think Ryan returning to Kildare is at back of a lot of people's minds really in the long term, do you really think if geezer is offered Armagh job that he will not consider it?

    Geezer In my opinion has improved county fortunes to a huge extent he will always have my support also that post was trolling ;)

    But at same time if he does ever decide to walk Ryan would be a great addition don't you agree???

    Also just to add I have no wishes for Kieran to leave, I have been ultra happy with him throughout his career with us
