Any replay in the qualifiers and there is a possibility that Paul could play in the q/f. This is unlikely though because if a q/f was delayed it would probably be played on the saturday which would rule Paul out. Tomas will still miss the q/f as he has to miss at least one game.

Tomas got a one month/one match ban Paul got one month which was doubled. Does this mean he has to miss two matches??

I'm happy to see Down anyway. I've never seen them in the flesh in the Championship.

I attended their game against Wicklow last year and they were poor. I also attended the league finals this year and they were poor against Armagh. They have beaten a poor Donegal team,Longford,Offaly and a Sligo team that shouldnt have bothered turning up. Lost to Tyrone when they were in a really dominant position.
It will be a tough game without question. Certainly with the 2 lads missing. Their backs arent great. Midfielders are tall though so we may have problems there although they dont really impose their size on matters. Forwards are decent enough.
They are not a very defensive or negative team though so it should be fairly open football

You'd think Dublin and Tyrone would be the standalone fixture - also the all leinster clash of Kildare/Meath could be pencilled in as the standalone fixture given the proximty of both counties to HQ - the other two ties to be a double header? I hope its not on the Monday...

They will surely have 2 double headers and be done with it...either Saturday/Sunday or Sunday/Monday (if the Kerry and Golf peoples request is granted)
If it is then you may be looking at
Sunday
2.00pm Cork v Roscommon
4.00pm Dublin v Tyrone
Monday
2.00pm Kerry v Down
4.00pm Meath v Kildare

Jesus Kerry v Down and Cork v Roscommon as a double header in Croker would be a fairly poor attendance. They could do everyone a favour and play it in Portlaoise or something. You'll hardly get 10k to travel between Cork and Kerry on a bank holiday Sunday all the way to Dublin. Roscommon and Down might bring 10k each.

They might but with the golf on in Killarney traffic will be nuts over the weekend and you wont get many to travel. I suppose there might not be a big crowd going up if it was a monday either but people who live/work in Dublin might return back from the kingdom abit earlier to get the game. None of these people will travel home on Friday to travel back up on Saturday/Sunday I'd think.

Just hope we can stick it to Down around midfield because I think there backs are there for the taking. The fella in the half forwards Pollard is a decent player and Benny can always come good with a goal. Haven't been overly impressed by Clarke but he'd still want watching

Kerry will more than likely not be playing on the monday because its not a bank holiday in the North.. I know the Gaa have been asked to schedule the kerry game on monday because of the golf but hardly that request will be granted ? What do people think?

Dublin have got the draw from hell while Cork have the draw they would have dreamed of. If both Tyrone and Cork progress they will collide in the semifinal. That could be the heavy weight contest of the year.
Presumably Dublin/Tyrone and Kildare/Meath matches will be stand alone fixtures. That would leave Sunday for the other two contests. This is not what the golfing fraternity in Killarney want but, as somebody else pointed out, Tyrone and Down cannot play on Monday because it is not a bank holiday up there.
I am old enough to have been a sad witness in 1960, 1961 and 1968 when Down beat us. A lot of other people on the forum will remember a further defeat in 1991. That is a remarkable record Down have against us, better even than Tyrone. Of course their current manager, James McCartan, will this week be picking the brains of his father, James, and uncle, Dan. Both of these were stars on the Down 1960/61 team, James on the forty and Dan at centre half back. James was a genuine powerhouse on the forty. He is a regular visitor to the Listowel races and usually pays a visit to an old foe/friend from those days,Jerh. D. O'Connor.
I know little or nothing about this current Down team. Benny Coulter is as good as most forwards around so, presumably, Marc will be his companion for the day. Martin Clarke seems to be a very thoughtful player and has a delightful kicking style. I am sure Dermot will kindly supply us with a comprehensive dossier.
It promises to be a hectic weekend with the Meath/Kildare match possibly the most intriguing.
My biggest hope for the weekend is that Dublin do not fold like they have for the past two years. It would be a sensational victory for them if they up scuttled the Tyrone boys.

Based on attendances to date, and including Dublin in this, 2 double headers on Sat & Sunday at HQ most likely scenario; Kerry and Cork will probably be on the one programme on Saturday with other matches played on the Sunday; minors could be accommodated on Sat also hopefully.

Its hard to know what the gaa will do. Probably throw out afew suspensions but I think that it would be crazy for them to have Kerry and Cork on the same bill because the attendance would be low. They should put one of the Dubs and the Meath game, the 2 games that will get crowds of 45/50 with one of the Cork/Kerry games which will probably get 20k each at a stretch.

Down 3-20 Sligo 0-10
Saturday, 24 July 2010 Down impressively booked an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final spot after an easy 3-20 to 0-10 win over Sligo.
Second-half substitute Ronan Murtagh top-scored with 1-05 in Kingspan Breffni Park.
Beaten Connacht finalists Sligo trailed from early on, with John Clarke's goal helping Down into a 1-10 to 0-06 interval lead.
The Mourne men failed to ease up on the restart as team captain Ambrose Rogers grabbed his side's second goal and Murtagh also netted, leaving an off-colour Sligo simply shattered.
Traffic congestion forced the throw-in to be delayed by ten minutes and it was Kevin Walsh's Sligo side who looked unsettled, as they tried to bounce back from last Sunday's defeat to Roscommon.
Down made an ominous start to this fourth-round qualifier, winning possession straight from the off and when John Clarke was found, he showed great pace to convert the first score inside 15 seconds.
The recent wins over Longford and Offaly had James McCartan's charges brimming with confidence.
They were all over Sligo in the opening stages, with the Clarke brothers, Martin and John, and midfielder Rogers involved in a superb fist passing move in the third minute.
Rogers laid off for Paul McComiskey to try his luck for a goal, but his effort was brilliantly stopped by Sligo goalkeeper Philip Greene.
Martin Clarke converted the resulting '45' and although Sligo seemed to settle thereafter, the Yeats men were afforded little time and space to create scores.
Rogers showed great leadership, adding his weight to the attack while also making some stunning blocks in defence, with David Kelly denied in the opening five minutes.
Adrian Marren got Sligo off the mark in the eighth minute, landing the first of his three first-half points from placed balls, but Down continued to find holes in the westerners' defence.
Mark Poland and Daniel Hughes pointed either side of a Stephen Coen score, as Down went 0-05 to 0-02 ahead in the 11th minute.
Sligo hit a purple patch in terms of possession and scoring opportunities in the middle third of the opening half, as they began to find a foothold in the midfield sector.
But once again Down gave little away at the back, and Sligo's only reward for a dominant 12-minute spell was a Kelly point from play in the 17th minute.
Down responded by finding another gear before the interval, with John and Martin Clarke again in sparkling form. John fired home a 30th minute goal after Benny Coulter laid off a pass, to push his side 1-08 to 0-03 clear.
Sligo claimed three of the final five points of the first half with Marren and Kelly on target, but Down were still well in command and led by seven at the break.
Any hope Sligo had of staging a comeback were dashed when Down put on a scoring burst as the second half resumed, stringing together 1-02 inside five minutes.
Kevin McKernan and Rogers were on target for points, and the Down skipper then palmed the ball to the net after his initial shot was blocked by Sligo goalkeeper Philip Greene.
Marren pegged a point back for Sligo, but this was a mere blip in an otherwise dominant period from McCartan's men.
The Down boss opted to substitute the unusually quiet Coulter, but it was actually an inspired change. In the round 3 win over Offaly, Daniel Hughes scored within three minutes of his introduction. This week it was Ronan Murtagh who achieved a similar feat, staking a claim for a starting berth in the quarter-final.
Murtagh replaced Coulter in the 45th minute, and immediately showed his worth by scoring three superb points from play within five minutes as Down cantered into a 2-15 to 0-08 lead.
By this stage, Sligo were well beaten and the Ulster side showed no signs of slipping up, with Conor Garvey, Damian Rafferty and Daniel McCartan among those performing strongly in defence.
Murtagh also showed no mercy by adding a 66th-minute goal to his tally.
Substitute Colm McGee tagged on a late brace of points for Sligo, but Hughes and substitute Peter Fitzpatrick cancelled out those scores to ensure a 19-point win for dominant Down and a disappointing end to a summer which began so brightly for Sligo.
Scorers:
Down: R Murtagh 1-05, J Clarke, A Rogers 1-01 each, M Clarke 0-04 (0-02f, 0-01 '45'), D Hughes 0-03, M Poland 0-02 (0-02f), K McKernan, P Fitzpatrick, P McComiskey, C Garvey 0-01 each
Sligo: A Marren 0-04 (0-04f), S Coen (0-01f), D Kelly, C McGee 0-02 each
DOWN: B McVeigh; D Rooney, D Gordon, D Rafferty; D McCartan, K McKernan, C Garvey; A Rogers, K King; D Hughes, M Poland, P McComiskey; B Coulter, J Clarke, M Clarke.
Subs used: R Murtagh for Coulter (45 mins), D O'Hagan for Rafferty (56), P Fitzpatrick for King (57), R Sexton for McComiskey, J Brown for M Clarke (both 60).
SLIGO: P Greene; C Harrison, N McGuire, R Donavan; K Cawley, B Kennedy, J Davey; E Mullen, S Davey; A Costello, M Breheny, E O'Hara; S Coen, A Marren, D Kelly.
Subs used: P McGovern for J Davey (15 mins), S Gilmartin for S Davey (39), K Sweeney for Costello (43), C McGee for Breheny (46), F Quinn for O'Hara (54).
Referee: Maurice Deegan (Laois)

Coulter didn't get a score and his replacement got 1-5 in 25 mins? That catches the eye

All due respect but it's the best possible draw for Kerry. I saw Down in their league final and they looked a fairly average outfit at best. A league final and an All-Ireland last 8 amounts to a good year for them. We were well beaten by them in 91 but I look forward to reversing that. If there was a match we could get by without Tomas/Paul this is the one. We may make heavy weather of it but I think we have too much for them up front.
I think Kildare will win the other quarter in that side of the draw, I was in Croker in Saturday and Kildare were impressive when they got into their stride (helped by a couple of very good substitutions).

I reckon tyrone and dublin will be on saturday.You would imagine at least 70,000 at that game if not going close to a sell out.I reckon Cork and Roscommon at 2 on the sunday followed by Kerry and Down at 4..Been defending all ireland champions,i reckon we will be on the sunday!Meath and Kildare on the monday. My verdict: Tyrone v Dublin- Tyrone Roscommon v Cork- Cork Meath v Kildare- Kildare Kerry v Down- Kerry
Tyrone v Cork- Tyrone Kerry v Kildare- Kerry

It's great to see Down back in the big time, and even better to see them playing Kerry for all the tradition that goes with it. Kerry of course should win but i'll certainly be planting a few bob on Down. More of a chance of Kerry slipping here than in the semi.
