Monaghan Vs Kildare

Replying To Mon99:  "Kildare beat a mayo team that struggled to stay in division one. Mayo just didn't have the hart for the fight again. Missing a couple of there best players and a couple of the other ones were carrying injuries. Monaghan have been beating top teams for the last few years now and will win by 4 to 5. Including Dublin in croke park."
New name, same nonsense.

Replying To kildare73:  "No we're coming off a huge win against the same Fermanagh team that beat yourselves. The more I read of your ramblings the more I'm convinced you haven't actually watched much football. Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself more than anything else. It'll be a tight game."
You should stop using fermangh as a reason for having a chance at beating Monaghan. All Monaghan have to do is look at the carlow game. Do you think if we had played them in the back door they would have beating us. Mon by 4 or 5

Replying To Mona1:  "The teams in the top half of div 1 are miles ahead of the rest. Kildare, Roscommon, and Cavan, etc are on a par with the likes of Longford, Meath, and Carlow."
You keep talking about the top half of Division 1 as if that confers on Monaghan a certain status and as if you are way ahead of other teams. In 4 of the last 5 years you have reached the Al Ireland quarter finals - a fair achievement - yet you have never got to one semi-final of the All Ireland (the ultimate test of a team) - you are closer to the pack than you are to the top 3/4 teams in the country.

Replying To neverright:  "What county are you really from? Your posts seem to be trying to build up antipathy towards Monaghan."
Its pretty obvious to the Monaghan folk on here neverright, nonetheless here are a few clues:

they are our near neighbours;
they had some great teams in the past but the recent generations have tarnished that record;
they are currently looking for a manager;
their home ground was unusable this year;
their club football is a joke. they say its too many clubs but we know the real reason;
they are fond of roughing up the ref when things go against them;

yes indeed, this lad is definitely from....louth

Funny how it is a Galway supporter on backing up kildare. I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact Galway just got over the line. I actually think Galway will finish last in the group.

If you read the post properly you would see I was correcting your fellow county man on what Kildare are coming off the back of. We are coming off the back of a game v Fermanagh. Dunno how you would have done against Carlow, they are a cut above the div 4 teams you met in the qualifiers bar Laois and Monaghan didn't exactly blitz Laois out of it. I think we'll be ok.

The more I think of it the more I think Monaghan have a great opportunity to put down a marker this Sunday similar to the performance against Tyrone at the start. A win on Sunday would be a huge step to the semi finals for either team.

Wrong there. I'm no Caavan man. What's wrong with being confident about our chances. Most real Monaghan supporters feel that we have a shot at Sam. This is our year to grasp it. Our team is stronger than ever before and we may not see its like again. We're better than the other teams bar Dublin.

Mona1 + mon99 = A non Monaghan supporter. I just hope that the good folk from other counties realize this

I think we should ignore those two from now on and debate between ourselves lads and lassies. On the face of it two evenly enough matched teams. The bookies favour Monaghan, the media pundits seem to slightly favour Kildare. Problem is you don't see too many poor bookies! Should be a really good game.

Think kellerz1992 can be added to that list. I think at this stage in the championship the number of posts from these so called supporters tell us all we need to know about their motivations on this forum.
Pathetic.

I genuinely don't understand how we're odds on when literally all the media appear to be picking Kildare, and they're supposed to be the "experts"(even though in reality, few are). I see the Sky Sports GAA team had a panel preview show at K Crokes yesterday, and 5/5 picked Kildare to win. Rarely have I seen a supposed bookies favourite get so few predictions.

Are those lads getting a bit carried away with Kildare's last couple of weeks, or do the bookies have it all wrong? On the face of it and taking everything into consideration, it's probably 50/50 but we'll know alot more soon enough.

Eddie the Exile, from a Kildare perspective I have a feeling that Mick O'Grady will be the one tasked with marking McManus rather than Peter Kelly....

Can't wait for this now. Should be a cracking game.

Tomas O'Shea has favoured Monaghan even though tentatively

I'm suspect it's complete 50/50 game with slight favoritism for Monaghan - the bookies seldom get it wrong and the reasons they are slight fav's is probably more to do with what they have achieved so far this year. They have beaten Kildare already at home by the minimum and beaten Dubs in Croke Park. Kildare fans will recall that place has been a graveyard for us for the past few years so it should stop the giddy ones getting too exciting about getting a head of steam!! Has potential for a great game but it actually may not turn out that way and Monaghan with their experience could turn it into a real grind...not something we need after a couple of hard weeks on the go in silly temperatures. If we turn up and get a good hold on midfield than we have a sporting chance but i would worry about our backs conceding easy scores. McManus has to be subdued and we have to keep a real physical tempo to our game to keep them under wraps. Looking forward to game but more in hope than expectation.

Haven't seen that yet, I'm sure there'll be alot more predictions between today and tomorrow so it could even out yet.
