Replying To galwayford: "Dubs by 6 or 7 points. Meath are improving but they are still a long way behind. Dubs V Kildare would have been a better final imho." How do you say something like that? Dublin hammered Kildare in the semifinals. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4221 - 23/06/2019 16:33:09 2199032 Link
Dreadful stuff. Meath petrified at a hammering and only interested in keeping the score down. When their first score in the 32nd minute is greeted with such praise you know Gaelic football is in dire straits. Shame on the GAA for reducing us to this.

Other counties should look at the Ulster championship and try to implement attacking football. This is pure rubbish. Ned_Stormcrow (Cavan) - Posts: 1071 - 23/06/2019 16:40:56 2199040 Link
Meath would have taken your hand off for Dublin only scoring 5 points, shame their shooting is woeful. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 23/06/2019 16:41:01 2199041 Link

Good Lord, what has become of football? Turgid stuff, with the kind of scoreline you'd expect to see in a game of rugby played in a mud bath, on a bad day, between two secondary schools (oh, and assuming you could only score one point in rugby). festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 23/06/2019 16:41:15 2199043 Link
A total bore, full of the usual spite and niggle between these two teams, in other words, puke football. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1794 - 23/06/2019 16:45:29 2199045 Link
Replying To katser: "I fancy Meath in this one" I think I fancy Meath to get another point in the second half. THE_SNAPPER (Louth) - Posts: 2019 - 23/06/2019 16:46:05 2199046 Link
Meath are well organised at the back. They've been very poor on the ball. They aren't trying to support the man on the ball properly or get any numbers close to them. It's been a very strange game. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4221 - 23/06/2019 16:46:33 2199047 Link
Paul Mannion. Cringy stuff. And then coming to the realisation no red card was coming so he changes to a leg injury. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7891 - 23/06/2019 16:47:17 2199048 Link
The Association should take a long hard look, this is the future of Gaelic football and the game will die if drastic action isn't taken. The crowds are staying away and people are bored stiff now. Turgid, turgid rubbish but you can't blame Meath who just want to keep the score down. The GAA have created a monster in Dublin that they can't, or more likely don't want to control. The game is dying a death. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9702 - 23/06/2019 16:49:35 2199051 Link

Replying To THE_SNAPPER: "I think I fancy Meath to get another point in the second half." Don't be getting ahead of yourself there! festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 23/06/2019 17:00:15 2199064 Link
I know the commentators have to stay positive, but to describe this game as "not one for the purists" might be the understatement of the year. Apparently Meath have to be given frees 14 yards on front of goal in order to score. This is car crash football; I want to look away but just can't. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 23/06/2019 17:09:10 2199071 Link

They aren't playing with extra defensive cover. They are just playing very well defensively and very badly going forward. Dublin are actually getting numbers back and Meath don't have a way of breaking through Dublin's defence. It's not a good game but all this outrage is weird. Sometimes a game isn't very good. Meath's handling and basic skills have not been strong enough for the conditions either. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4221 - 23/06/2019 17:10:31 2199074 Link

I normally agree with your posts, but Meath aren't playing to keep the score down, don't know what you're watching if you think that. Meath have gone man for man with Dublin for most of this match, unlike most other team's. They just can't hit a barn door themselves, wilting under pressure as usual. 32_4_1 (Meath) - Posts: 4122 - 23/06/2019 17:12:28 2199077 Link
Dublin sleepwalking and still 8 points up, demoralising stuff for the rest joeteor (Donegal) - Posts: 217 - 23/06/2019 17:15:19 2199079 Link

For play to the dubs great 2nd half. Jim. Gavin said at half time he would cut there wages. So they had to up there game traleegerry (Kerry) - Posts: 738 - 23/06/2019 17:21:25 2199090 Link
This is like a junior c club game that takes place at 11am on a Sunday morning. If you put on Colm O'Rourke he'd still do a better job than these Meath forwards. Cluxton not tested once under a high ball. Thelonesomegoose (Leitrim) - Posts: 204 - 23/06/2019 17:24:38 2199093 Link
