Fair enough, I get the impression you're hard pleased though.

Can I just ask what is a Meath man doing refereeing a match with a Leinster team in it?

WTF was Keiran Hughes at there.

Threw the ball at the Kildare players head twice.

Well done for not reacting.

Well you can hardly call him biased .......

Kildare management fcuked up in the second half.They were doing the right thing in the first half being more direct and spreading the play out a bit more but for some reason began running the ball through the middle too much in the second half.

Also its bad preparation going into a match without a left footed freetaker.

Terrific match and looking forward to another 20 minutes.

Those Monaghan lads are very dirty and always niggling their opponents.

fullstop

The Monaghan lads are always at that kinda thing. Looked like Wylie tried to stick his fingers in his opponents mouth just at the end there too. They have that laughable decision by the ref to thank for extra time.

That Monaghan effort just now was awful in fairness.

Game over.

aveytare

Great point and goal.

Say Your Number

Hard to see Kildare coming back from this

tayto lover

Kildare should put Moolick into full forward and kick high balls in.

Taking Tomás O Connor off was a bizzare call considering the amount of tired players Kildare have. He wasn't bad.

Slattsy

Turned out to be a decent game in the end eh :P

Kildare the better team, barely.
But. Sure listen, if ye cant kick shít off a stick you dont deserve to win games.

That dodgy free at the end was well, eh dodgy !!


Dublin next up. Monaghan will revert back to their Ulster final tactics i assume. Should make for a great spectacle :rolleyes: :mad:

Say Your Number

That's it, Kildare threw it away in the second half

Say Your Number

Big miss

harpsman

Yeah Kildare stopped playing after Callaghan miss, and still nearly won- shows you how bad Monaghan were! Ciaran Hughes bit of a "lad" as well- are there any Monaghan players who arent?

Happyman42

Big performance from Monaghan, didn't panic and got the job done in awful conditions. Gave as good as they got in fairness. Bolton should have got the black card earlier.

Good effort from Kildare, a very young team who will hopefully develop more from this experience.
I'd almost hope Dublin annihilate Monaghan as there are a good few unsavoury characters in their team. Kieran Hughes should have been sent off for his attempted elbow on Keith Cribben. Coldrick is usually a decent and fair referee but he gave McManus and Mone frees far too easy when it is known widely that they go to ground without much assistance.
That being said Monaghan were the marginally better team for the majority of the game and Kildare will need to learn from this. The decision to take O'Connor off and leave a tired Smith on was baffling.

'Annihilation'...'unsavory characthers'?

It was a 50/50 game in awful conditions with both teams transgressing at times. I understand your disappointment but calm down mate.

Certainly did, hate when sour grapes results in that crap reading of a game, especially when both teams gave their all.

You might have noticed where I said Monaghan were the better team but I now understand how opposing fans in Ulster detest the shenanigans of the likes of Mone and Golligly. Dirty digs, diving, playacting and then crowding around the referee, of course all teams do this to some degree but Monaghan are bad offenders. That is why I will take some solace that they won't progress any further in the championship.

That being said if I was a Monaghan fan I wouldn't care and they are one of the countries big overachievers in terms of population so they deserve credit there.

Brush it off if you like man but Monaghan play a pretty awful brand of football. They have heart and good engines but less footballing ability than most other counties. In fairness they are a small county that punch above their weight so good luck to them.

I saw good spells of football from both teams, but Monaghan's came at the right time and Kildare had no answer.

Kildare's only forward outlet was Alan Smith and when he tired we were out of ideas. Kildare battled and played to their ability but without real scoring forwards it just sapped too much energy to get enough scores to win.

Monaghan are going to struggle against Dublin as Dublin are just a different level to any other team especially the likes of Kildare. Monaghan would need about 5 goals to beat Dublin and Monaghan aren't great for getting goals.

Yep they are up against it, but it is where we want to be. Monaghan learnt a lot from the Donegal game, there was a maturity in the way they didn't panic today and were able to up their game enough to see it out.

Just saw that Kieran Hughes incident... Kieran Hughes throws a ball into a players face twice and pull his hair and get no punishment... I suppose the only justice is that even if he had been red carded, and was replaced by the good Lord himself, Monaghan will still get absolutely demolished by Dublin next week..

If you post it in enough threads somebody might get excited I suppose. :rolleyes:

Leave Dublin to the big boys.
