I'm sorry that ref is an absolute prick.

This Meath team are more div3 than div2. How can they be so poor? I am almost feeling sorry for them. Almost....

Closest we have looked to being comfortable in a game this season so far. Not gonna look into it to much as where playing a bunch of no body's here but decent performance much better.

Yeah not happy with how much we have dropped off in second half and let them back into it. Need to play for 70 mins.

One near the end and a Dublin player, clear as day was tackled aggressively around the neck. Deliberately, not as if the arm rode up or close…. It was a free and a card… not even a free was awarded…..he was about 8 feet from the challenge with an unobstructed view…. The only reason he didn’t blow and sanction ? Just didn’t want to. Had to have seen it, looking straight at it.

“ sure look it, already x points down “ was probably the mindset.

Don't think.C Kilkenny is anywhere near his best. I thought the Lucan corner back Newcombe was poor. He let a simple pass go under his legs and out for a sideline in opening minutes with nobody near him. It's a long time since i saw such a lack of concentration like that at this level. He then finished the half by clumsily fouling a Meath man when there was no need. Plenty to work on.

Just going by the scorelines, Meath have been no better against Dublin in recent years.

2020, 3-21 to 0-09. 2021, 2-16 to 1-13. 2022 1-27 to 1-14.

i said that the night ye beat us in croker ad was shot down by one or two idiots , i made the point that while tyrone were still on the raz last year and in transition this year but monaghan and several others were boxing above the weight of division 1 football , there is nothing between them and kildare us or limerick ect

Not sure about that normally Armagh play cagey. But I was at the Armagh v Galway championship game and it was a great game.

McCaffrey picked up a small injury prior to Derry game. Lahiff is playing at wing forward with Fenton and Jamsie in midfield. Dias worth a look at as POCB has not progressed. Midfield for championship will be Jamsie or Howard partnering Fenton.

Yes, i posted that team after looking at the Dublin team named on Dublin GAA Twitter few hours before game.

Lahiff is not good enough for wing forward imo.

McCarthy might not have the legs for midfield anymore.

Off course it counts. Dublin played a more direct game that year than in previous years. He played Con at 11 and Kilkenny at 14. Brought McDaid, Bugler and Paddy Small into team that year.

Dublin 6 in a row success was a combination of good work done by Jim Gavin, Dessie Farrell and Pat Gilroy into Dublin GAA at all levels in terms of structure and culture.

Hopefully a decent performance tomorrow not sure where we are really after beating a really poor Meath team last day.The Mickey Harte effect seems to have Louth going well enough and they will be well up for this with a big prize on the line especially for them .

Big pitch - Croke Park. Even Dessie can't mess it up surely? Even though he tried his best v Clare to do that.

If it was away I would be much more worried. Assume there won't be much of a crowd at it as well. So it will have an O'Byrne Cup feel to it.

I expect to win but our Croke Park performances haven't been great so far if we end up playing like versus Clare or Kildare it could be on the line so not the comfy win most seem to expect .Obviously hope I am wrong and we turn in a good performance and do the same to Derry .
