Presume it will be
On the Saturday
Kerry v Cavan 5pm
Cork v Dublin 7pm
On the Sunday
Tyrone v Monaghan 2pm
Donegal v Mayo 4pm
Both sellouts

Should be the way it pans out alright in terms of fixtures. The Saturday quarter-finals are usually played in the afternoon, not sure they'll move away from that.

An emotional draw for us, people here still talk about 1947!

Playing Kerry in Croke Park is fantastic experience for us and we should give them a good game. But Kerry have had since their Munster final win to train and prepare for this game, we're playing our 4th match for a fourth weekend in a row. Very unfair but such is life.

Monaghan v Tyrone; I do think we (Monaghan) can win it. It is probably the tightest to call in the recent history between the sides. Even in 2007 when we were tipped to beat tyrone it was more clearcut than this. We wont need a reason to be fired up for this and there is no reason we cannot win it, Donegal defeated Tyrone easily with a style of football we outplayed Donegal at. It will be tight but even as Ulster Champions I still think Tyrone will be favourites. I wish we got a team outside Ulster though (Cork)

Dublin, Kerry, Mayo & Tyrone to win quarters. Dublin & Mayo to win semis and Dublin to win Sam.

Sergeant_Slash, you must remember the following:

The quarter final is always the very best time to catch Kerry out - they won't have played in 4 weeks - they'll be very rusty and will expect they just have to turn up in time in order to win the match. Cavan will have had a handy game today but are still keeping their momentum going. Cavan have a lot more pace and mobility in their team than Kerry which will definitely suit the wide open space of Croke Park. Down beat them at this stage 3 years ago and Monaghan famously almost caught them out at the same stage 5 or 6 years ago.

This game will be no foregone conclusion.

How do Kerry get away with it every year with the handy draw?

Cannot believe that anyone actually believes Cork will beat Dublin.

Dublin v Cork - Dublin were only tested for half a game against Meath in Leinster, Cork were lucky to get by Galway. Revenge for 2010 could be a factor. Gonna say DUBLIN
Kerry v Cavan - Kerry did well against Cork in the first half but have had a long layoff, Cavan are in bonus territory - will they bring momentum or tiredness to the Quarter final. Gonna say KERRY
Monaghan v Tyrone - surprise Ulster champions against a resurgent Tyrone. How will O'Rourke get his lads back to earth after last weekend? Tyrone have ground out wins against Kildare and Meath and look like they're motoring well - Gonna say TYRONE
Mayo v Donegal - Will Mayo knock the reigning All Ireland Champions out for a third year in a row despite not being tested yet? They beat Donegal by 4 in the league but will Donegal fare better in Croke Park than McHale Park? How good are Mayo? Will Donegal bounce back? Gonna say DONEGAL AET

Dublin V Cork

Kerry V Cavan

Monaghan V Tyrone

Mayo V Donegal

Apart from Cavan the three All Ireland contenders are on one side of the draw and one of them will win the All Ireland though Mayo have great chance of reaching another AI final.

Cop on CDK. Here's our QF history:

01 v Dubs - hardly handy
02 v Galway - reigning Champs
03 v Roscommon - very decent at the time
04 v Dubs
05 v Mayo - consistent top 4 team
06 v Armagh - raging hot faves for the All-Ireland at the time
07 v Monaghan - could've beaten us
08 v Galway - just pulled away in the end, fantasic game
09 v Dubs - huge underdogs going in and written off
10 v Down - never lost to Kerry
11 v Limerick - handiest draw we got
12 v Donegal - went on to win All-Ireland

Completely disrespectful comments from you towards Cavan, one of the few counties who can match our tradition and love for the game. Should be a good game, young Cavan team v a wiley, old Kerry side.

I can smell the fear from you down here ......

Would Dublin Cork not be close to selling out Croker on their own?

Without throwing in Cavan V Kerry

Dublin, Kerry, Mayo and Tyrone to progress
