Good luck v Dubs. A bigger test than Longford.

I fully expect Dublin to win, but if Meath cant be at least competitive this time out, i worry for you. This is not the Dublin team of 2015-2019. ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 05/07/2021 10:07:08 2356376 Link 1 |

I fully expect Dublin to win too. Although come the day I will have convinced myself and anyone else who listens that there is no way we won't win. But that is a different story. :). Tbh Meath have been poor this year with the exception of yesterday (you can only beat what in front of you ) gk still a big problem IMO, midfield without either menton or Jones is from last year I think is also a worry. That been said harnan is doing a good job. The pluses ? Morris has matured and is in great form, joey wallace has started to look like the exciting player we all thought he could be, Newman is back (probably just has 35 in legs at this stage) but still it's a plus having that experience around this very young team. Hickey is a outstanding player that likely will become a Meath great over the next 10 years fionn Reilly also looks in that mould, Mathew Costello too. The real plus I took from yesterday was the return of James mcentee, he looked sublime and is a tough player. He has been greatly missed. ( see I'm already convincing myself we can win). But I think Andy has reached all he can do with this team, we are in a better place now than when he came in, but I feel we have stagnated a bit. And that is never good, a new voice to kick us on again will probably be required for next year. On a side note Dublin best performance last year came against Meath , no matter what has happened Dublin will perform a hell lot better than v Wexford when they see the green tops. As for Kildare ? I fully expect Westmeath to win. Westmeath were a better team against us in league than Kildare (yes we won against them and lost v Kildare) but we were atrocious against Kildare and pretty good against Westmeath if that makes sense . So for me it's a Meath v Westmeath Leinster final. :). royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/07/2021 10:51:38 2356414 Link 0 |

On yesterdays showing i think this is going to be massively competitive, a lot closer to the Dublin Vs Meath games before the last decade. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4541 - 05/07/2021 11:25:46 2356442 Link 1 |

As Meath played well enough v Westmeath and won by a point. Worst Meath performance of last few years was against Kildare , and it took a sublime save in injury time not to go to extra time. It makes sense looking at it like that.

Are you forgetting the first 55/60 minutes when Kildare wiped Meath off the pitch? Only for taking our foot off the pedal, something we are doing far too regularly, it would have been a double digit victory. You worry about yourselves and we'll worry about Westmeath. Dublin - Kildare final

Dublin - Kildare final"]You seem fierce worried about Meath for some reason though... A game is 70 minutes long, taking your foot off the pedal is inexcusable... saying ot would've been a double digit victory otherwise is the the equivalent to if your granny had balls... playing for 55/60 minutes isn't good enough if you can't get the job done on the day. Admittedly yes you finished the job on the day and I've no complaints as a Meath man. We weren't close to good enough And you're right you should worry about Westmeath because they'll not be easily beaten, we know that here in Meath they're never easily beaten and given the respect they deserve brian (Meath) - Posts: 2000 - 05/07/2021 13:32:12 2356529 Link 2 |

I was replying to a Meath poster who tried to summarise the game into the last 20 seconds.
