Replying To TrimJim: "This thread is just full of bitters, we may have been relegated but we'll storm Div 2 next year and take a few big scalps this summer and the faltering Dubs. We'll be the ones laughing when Galway's season of promise comes to a limp end as per usual." What a comedian lilypad (Kildare) - Posts: 1363 - 03/03/2020 10:10:17 2271879 Link

Replying To OGarmaile: "Who is everyone expecting in the final?" Meath, I cannot give any logical reason for it , I just have a feeling. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 03/03/2020 11:12:21 2271900 Link
Replying To Richieq: "And behaving in stadium tunnels isn't for everybody either it seems, I'd be more concerned about the drop off in Dublin's discipline since Jim Gavins departure than about what division we ply our trade in if I was you." Fair play for the concern Rich me oul bud but with 7 all Irelands in the last decade, millions of leinsters, Allianz leagues, unbeaten record and the like, Even if the whole thing was to fall apart under Farrell I reckon id be happy with our lot for a few years. No pressure on us. But still like, we will play D1 football next year despite being brutal in the league so far so every cloud and all that... waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 03/03/2020 12:42:30 2271931 Link
Royal must be too busy with Will and Kate's visit to answer the question about his strange remark about Joyce living up to his name. The_Fonz (Westmeath) - Posts: 213 - 03/03/2020 12:48:00 2271933 Link
Replying To The_Fonz: "Royal must be too busy with Will and Kate's visit to answer the question about his strange remark about Joyce living up to his name." Its fairly obvious is in it not? He was comparing him to lads with same surname from Moate. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 03/03/2020 13:11:54 2271943 Link

Galway V Kerry Final with Galway to win by 5pts jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 03/03/2020 15:08:02 2271980 Link
Replying To jacktheDub: "Galway V Kerry Final with Galway to win by 5pts" We have Monaghan in innishkeen which is a tiny tight pitch that won't suit us and Donegal in tralee so we have probably the hardest run in of all the div1 teams and we'd need to win them both to be sure of a place in the final. But I hope you're correct about us getting to the final. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 03/03/2020 16:12:08 2271999 Link

You see there's the thing, despite all the accolades you mention that your county has gathered the last few years your mind is still occupied with Meath and having a sneer, your probably not even old enough to remember the rivalry at its peak and yet your intent on getting your digs in, I know one thing for sure if we had that level of success the past few years I wouldn't give two shiny s**s about the Dubs unlike your good self Richieq (Meath)** - Posts: 3734 - 03/03/2020 17:00:07 2272008 Link

Reading this I decided to check out MONAGHAN - after all it must be a hotbed of success considering you are having a great laugh at Meath at the moment.

I'm willing to bet that posting this list of former glory is going to have the exact opposite effect to the one you were hoping for. I'll give you a hint as to why: Former accomplishments do not excuse present whinging. In fact, they do the opposite and stand them in stark contrast. PS Thanks for the reminder of 2001. I was living and working in Dublin that year, and what a year it was. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 04/03/2020 21:41:12 2272263 Link

I am quite happy with the 4 all irelands that I witnessed in the flesh and I wouldnt swap that experience for anything. Sure we lost in 1991 and 2001 and, try as you might, I am over those games now. Most successful panels lose a few finals - well up until this dubs team. If you have a bitterness towards me and Meath in general go ahead - I couldn't care less. My post was about my surprise about a guy from a county that have won nothing having a laugh at us celebrating a division 3 cup etc. oldsam_newsam (Meath) - Posts: 638 - 04/03/2020 22:50:02 2272273 Link
