Longford three up on Laois at half time looks a decent game there. All to play for. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 3671 - 08/11/2020 14:26:19 2306070 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Meath travelling to aughrim today kinda blows that theory out of the water. Hell of a lot smaller etc than cusack pk in Mullingar." Won by 7-14 to 0-7. No problem to Meath in Aughrim. MicktheMiller (Offaly) - Posts: 112 - 08/11/2020 15:11:31 2306081 Link
Whats going on down in Aughrim? Slaughter house material! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 7772 - 08/11/2020 15:11:33 2306082 Link
Replying To Ulsterchamps_32: "Agree, if ever the Leinster council and the gaa in general had an interest in fairness they would have found a way to get this match in Westmeath. They clearly aren't interested." How can an empty stadium possibly be classed as "home advantage" you could play these games on a club pitch never mind an empty stadium. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4434 - 08/11/2020 15:12:07 2306084 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "What has the size of grounds got to do with what I said?" I'm talking about the surrounding area. Ie aughrim lot smaller to hold those attending than Mullingar. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 08/11/2020 15:24:53 2306098 Link
Replying To MicktheMiller: "Won by 7-14 to 0-7. No problem to Meath in Aughrim." None whatsoever. We will go anywhere. That's no good for anyone though. Beating Wicklow by that amount doesn't give me one bit of joy, we were methodical, still plenty to work on but we were playing division one this year Wicklow playing division 4 and unfortunately the gap showed. Again take no pleasure in that score line as it will do no good to football in Wicklow. That been said we have found one hell of a player in Jordan Morris Hon the royal royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 08/11/2020 15:28:58 2306107 Link
Replying To realdub: "Whats going on down in Aughrim? Slaughter house material!" Shocking. We even had the pleasure of taking off the likes of keoghan and O'Sullivan 3/4 way through. Just feel for Wicklow. A defeat like that won't do them any good. That all been said we are a coming team and in Jordan Morris we have found a forward to match any in the country. Bring on the next opponent, then and only then will we look at who is next :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 08/11/2020 15:31:47 2306111 Link
Replying To arock: "How can an empty stadium possibly be classed as "home advantage" you could play these games on a club pitch never mind an empty stadium." Because you train there, you know the surroundings, you know the pitch dimensions, it's more convenient, you don't have to travel as far. Do you not agree?

Mayo looked very strong in the opening quarter against Roscommon. I switched over to Fermanagh and Down after that but they're looking quite good this year. They'll be a huge test to Kerry in the semi-final who will be coming in cold. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13145 - 08/11/2020 15:35:43 2306118 Link

Replying To royaldunne: "Not a word of Meath ??" Aye, Meath should win Leinster this year. Shocking lack of consideration for Wicklow today. That'll set them back no end. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 1647 - 08/11/2020 16:18:49 2306146 Link
Wicklow appalling today no other words for it, but once the dust settles promotion has been achieved. After today we are under no illusions for lies in store if we do not prepare for what lies ahead in Division 3. I'll forget about today and take solace in the fact that we do actually have some good minor teams etc coming through. Minors beat Dublin and Meath in recent years. Today was a freak result, usually only 4-6 points between Meath and Wicklow. Sit tight in Division 3, let our talented youth, D'Arcy, Ging etc find their feet in the higher division. I'd be more disappointed if we were staring down the barrel of another year of Division 4 football. Wicklowman (Wicklow) - Posts: 1057 - 08/11/2020 16:21:06 2306147 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Not a word of Meath ??" Unlucky against Carlow last night by all accounts. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13145 - 08/11/2020 16:31:48 2306151 Link
Kerry look very ponderous and wasteful. They were wasteful in both the drawn game and hte replay in the final last year. For a team with such huge talent in the forwards it must be maddening to supporters to miss so many chances. Cork good value for the 1 point lead at the minute but in reality Kerry should have had at least 1-2 extra on the board. The conditions are a factor but look at Tyrone and Donegal in much worse conditions last week with the wind a huge factor too. Yes the ball is slippery and that but still, they don't look like they will be beating whoever comes out of Connacht on that first half showing. However I'd still expect them to figure it out and pull away in the second half. Might do them no harm in the long wrong that they've struggled a little here.

Replying To Bon: "Where are all these lads getting their hair cut during lockdown?" At home. Like most lads - there was a big run on hair clippers during the first lockdown greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 830 - 08/11/2020 18:07:11 2306182 Link
