Some amount of steps for the Donegal goal.

He was dropping it onto his foot on the 4th or 5th step to shoot and was fouled, ball bounced on the ground and he finished. Didn’t over carry.

Bumper crowd in Croke Park to see the foregone conclusion.

Like the Tyrone game final scoreline doesn't reflect just how dominant Donegal were

LuckyLloyd

40k+ they're saying on RTE. Better than expected.

It shows the size of croke park when it’s not even half full.

And clearly had another gear too. Impressed with Donegal.

If the game was tighter and they needed more scores, there were at least 3/4 points in the second half where they had a good sight of goal and could easily have took a shot, but fisted over the bar instead. They were in cruise control pretty much the whole second half.

If meath keep it to less than a 10 point loss, they'll be doing reasonably well

shrewdness

Sad state of affairs when you can't get too excited about a Dublin v Meath Leinster final because it's a foregone conclusion.

Best thing you could hope for is for Meath to come firing out of the blocks here and make it a hectic, competitive start. Anything more would be a welcome surprise.

Itssoeasy

It’s damage limitation for Meath today.

Strumms

Justice, never a free in

dundalkfc10

Knee in the back, no free!

Strumms

Defenses on top so far, 5 minutes in and no scoring, little in the way of opportunity either

RMAOK

The meath full back is playing well

km79

Rochford was a huge addition to Donegal
Excellent coach with a great tactical brain
Pity he wasn’t part of Horans backroom team .......

Strumms

GREAT bit of defensive play at both ends there

John.Icy

If Meath get as many goal chances as Kildare did, I think this game could be interesting. Kildare could easily have had 3 with a clinical goal scorer in the team.

F**k it. Meath to win by a point.

shrewdness

McStay reckons the tackling is "crispy"...

STB.

Meath have come out like 5 furlong sprinters.


Hope they stay the 3 miles.

Strumms

Dublin buildup play is slack and slow,

OldMrBrennan83

Not a sniff of a score for Dublin in 10 mins. Really good harassing from Meath.

Mahony0509

Meath full back line winning everything here

RMAOK

Poor wide by Costello

Hopefully Rochie will be involved with the Mayo set up at some stage again.

shrewdness

Wonder what's the last Dublin game where there wasn't a point in the first 10 minutes

LuckyLloyd

Dublin looking very lax. A lot of dirty petrol in there.

Mahony0509

Christ thats an awful kickout, free score

shrewdness

That's a feckin Junior C kickout there

dirkmeister

Strike forwards......Jesus

SecretsOfEarth

Meath showed well in the first ten minutes but really basic errors are killing them.

Their forwards seem to have butter fingers

Ridiculous decision from the ref to throw the ball in, dublin player wouldn’t get out of the way
