is there a last gasp of life in Leinster football, besides big blue? best to both teams maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1226 - 02/07/2018 18:28:48 2117853 Link
Both teams will fancy this, good draw at this stage for both to get their teeth into, and a chance of the Super 8s for Kildare who, remember, were beaten by Carlow, amazing stuff. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8753 - 02/07/2018 18:34:59 2117855 Link
Fermanagh 11/4 to win this, some value there I think. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4516 - 02/07/2018 19:05:01 2117877 Link

Kildare will learn from the Carlow game and I'd imagine they will bring an intensity to their game, not allowing Fermanagh to settle into their system. Brolly was right about Donegal, they didn't fall into the trap, when you stop overthinking the Fermanagh system, play with intensity and push up on them, you find they are very limited. Fermanagh will battle but Kildare by 5 plus for me. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 02/07/2018 20:53:23 2117906 Link
I was surprised to see that Kildare were clear favs with the bookies in this one. I'd have it closer. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8753 - 02/07/2018 22:04:06 2117930 Link
I'm going to the other thread, there's something different about it realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8753 - 02/07/2018 22:05:13 2117932 Link
Agree with other comments. If Kildare have learned from Carlow game, we will win. If not, we won't. (I don't blame Carlow's defensive style for our loss by the way, I blame Kildare's inability to cope with it. ) KildareKelly (Kildare) - Posts: 593 - 02/07/2018 22:24:02 2117938 Link
Replying To kildare73: "Firstly, the venue was always neutral. Secondly, if you were that good you wouldn't be in the qualifiers." How neutral is Navan? Maybe Fermanagh fans would judge Clones to be equally neutral. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 02/07/2018 23:25:39 2117961 Link
Replying To witnof: ":) 1. Becuase it's Kildare 2. Can you imagine the fit the Brolly with the holes will have....its not about participation anymore just style it seems. 3. Get Arlene down to Croker sit her with Leo, she'll be alright he won't lay a hand on her! 4. Can you imagine the worse Jim Mc....will have..................no not the Donegal lad but the TUV one" Think you had better leave out the Mc on this occasion. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 02/07/2018 23:29:53 2117963 Link
Something tells me that Fermanagh are going to go for it and give it a right lash. They have the basis of a good team if they drop the ultra defensive style. They scored 2-15 against Dublin this time 3 years ago going man for man, has anyone managed that since. The midfield battle could be decisive here, both very strong in this area. Fermanagh will be fresh and they don't usually do self pity. If management realise that what they are doing is outdated. the people that say it is one to be avoided could be wrong.

I like many others will want to see the underdogs, wee Fermanagh going through to the Super 8s. I think Kildare will be extremely worried if they looking back at their weaknesses this season and with Fermanagh being a cleverly defensive won't help the Lilly's confidence either.

Replying To neverright: "How neutral is Navan? Maybe Fermanagh fans would judge Clones to be equally neutral." Possibly so. I didn't really mind where it was. It was always going to be one or the other. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 03/07/2018 15:20:40 2118114 Link

Not sure if Fermanagh are that much of an underdog. They got to an Ulster final after all although I accept Kildare will be buoyed by the victory last Sat. All I know is that Brewster or Newbridge will be very tricky on wend July 21/22 for our boys even if we are improving incrementally. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1973 - 03/07/2018 15:36:13 2118119 Link
In a pre-game message... "Fermanagh's Seamie Quigley promises the Lillywhites an knockout blow!" abc1234 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 409 - 03/07/2018 19:03:26 2118182 Link
In the last 3 years, 15,16 & 17 their have been 12 round four qualifer games played. Out of those 12 games 10 have been won by the team on the qualifier end of the draw and 2 have been won by a losing provincinal finalist. Thats an 83% success rate in the last 3 years for teams coming the qualifier route. The two games that were won as losing provincinal finalist were donegal in 2015 & 2016 but they were a top 5 team in the country....at least at that time. So in short....its not looking good forFermanagh Laois or cork this weekend. abitawit (Fermanagh) - Posts: 274 - 04/07/2018 20:06:54 2118623 Link
RD where is the handiest spot to park for this game? For the league game I was down in good time and parked in Lidl. Can't see that working this time though. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 05/07/2018 12:59:53 2118809 Link

this one is really too close to call...kildare may just shade it by a point, but it really is very close..kildare certainly not good enough to be overwhelming favourites mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 05/07/2018 18:59:37 2118904 Link
Great first half by Kildare. Really hitting form in these qualifiers. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 07/07/2018 19:41:21 2119412 Link
