No reason at all why Meath won't win it. Beaten 3 of 4 start of championship favourites. Would love to see it. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3687 - 29/06/2025 19:31:05 2622276 Link
Replying To shaggykev: "You have beaten the three highest ranked winners of Sam in a single season. Too right you're there on merit. Donegal will be favourites but taking nothing for granted." Kerry still in the tournament though, so no point dining out on beating them, until you actually ko them. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4288 - 29/06/2025 20:15:07 2622302 Link
Yeh many of us had completely written off Meath. It's plain to see they're in the semis on merit. A team with a very bright future, And maybe, even the present. Donegal too driven to get caught out? We'll see soon enough. Kerry v Tyrone will be good. Head games galore! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8808 - 29/06/2025 20:27:49 2622307 Link
Replying To Proudroyal: "Yeah keep writing us off.we are there on merit but feck the begrugers" No one is writing Meath off. Your in the semi final on merit and if this weekend is anything to go by no match can or will be taken for granted. See you in 2 weeks.

Replying To Saynothing: "Minor Final between Tyrone and Kerry needs switched to Croke Park before this semi final." Yes that would be great, But i would go 1 step further , it should be played on All Ireland final day at 1pm just like it used to be germac (Down) - Posts: 572 - 29/06/2025 20:55:58 2622324 Link

Bringing on Con with one good leg was never gonna be enough for Dublin. So now I am going for a Kerry v Meath Final. There is an All Ireland in that Meath squad (be it this year or in the next couple of years) - they will only get better and have a lot of youth on their side. Along with Keoghan & Menton for experience. Rafferty, Caulfield, Morris & Costello would get on most inter county teams. And I reckon there are a couple of All Stars amongst them 4 this year.

That was a hell of a performance by Kerry today. Any team that can score 32 points v Armagh.... Write Kerry off at your peril, that never changes. It is theirs to lose now imo. They will have far too much for Tyrone in the semi. And their experience will tell in the Final. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4410 - 29/06/2025 21:59:47 2622365 Link
Gas how they could do the draw this evening with a 13/14 day semifinal turnaround, and had to wait til Monday mornings the last 2 weeks, with teams only having 5or6 day turnarounds. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4288 - 29/06/2025 22:24:02 2622380 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Minor Final between Tyrone and Kerry needs switched to Croke Park before this semi final." Definitely - great idea and makes a lot of sense.... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4410 - 29/06/2025 22:29:08 2622385 Link
Tyrone will hopefully make a game of it to some extent; but we haven't a hope of winning, or even drawing. Some second half by Kerry. Blew Armagh away. Not easy to do. Tyrone tried hard to beat Armagh in Ulster final, and couldn't get near them. And Kerry blew away the team that Tyrone couldn't get the better of. Kerry was everything you'd want from a team today - forget skill, all teams have skill, it was their hunger and relentlessness which were exemplary. None of this careful probing stuff. I haven't seen us being as full-on as that since the 03-08 team. I think Kerry will beat us by 5 or 6 minimum points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 301 - 29/06/2025 22:34:56 2622387 Link
Great to see Meath back at the top table but hopefully we can stop them at semi final stage this year, they are big strong and young team brimming with confidence, if we play a first half like we did against Monaghan they will be out of sight by half time, hoping now the 2 week break will give us a chance to rest the bodies and help clear up some injuries and knocks. I think Tyrone will give Kerry their fill of it, hard one to call, all down to which of them gets their best performance out on the day.

Replying To Scenicparish: "If I was a Mayo supporter I would be in hiding after the year you have had? Bottom of a group with Cavan in it says it all." Very good. Only having the craic Scenic. A lot worse than losing to Cavan, and finishing bottom of the group I think. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8151 - 29/06/2025 23:22:01 2622412 Link
Replying To Fionn: "Definitely - great idea and makes a lot of sense...." It would of course make sense but would make even more sense if they had left it in its traditional place of being a curtain raiser to the All Ireland Final… putting the world 'sense' and the GAA into the one sentence never seems to work…!!!

A performance like that is always in Kerry, like the Kilkenny hurlers you just cannot write off the Kerry footballers. Sean O Shea and D Clifford are just different class and is was O Shea who hit top gears today but if both of them hit top gear on the same day it's curtains for the opposition.

I think Kerry should. After all 40 All Ireland titles. Munster championship is a joke. It should be scrapped too. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2625 - 29/06/2025 23:47:08 2622425 Link
