What can I say , we never turned up particularly our forwards, we left our scoring boots well and truly behind. 11 scoring chance in first half to dubs 9, yet went in with only one point on board, Meath had 22 scoring chances dubs had 25 in total. The score line doesn't lie . We all had asked for a performance unfortunately things just didn't happen at all, we couldn't hit the side of a hay shed. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 23/06/2019 19:29:35 2199261 Link 5 |
Just back, bitter sweet victory with what looked like a bad injury to James and I fear a bit for him, huge irreplaceable loss if he's out. Terrible conditions there today. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 23/06/2019 19:30:07 2199262 Link 3 |
Made the unwise decision to cycle in to Croker. Could have come home in a canoe. Only thing worse than the weather was Meath's performance. They were a shambles and would have been embarrassed by most teams in the country never mind the Dubs. They may forfeit their promotion to division 1 if that's the level they're at. You'll get no sympathy from me if the best players in your county can't execute the basic skills of the game. Pantani (Dublin) - Posts: 48 - 23/06/2019 19:35:23 2199264 Link 6 |

My initial response was to a Mayo poster who was slagging Meath about kicking wides..

To be fair on Meath they didn't look ready to renew rivalries with Dublin. This in itself added extra pressure on them never mind facing the best team of all time mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1042 - 23/06/2019 19:40:43 2199272 Link 0 |
How many wides did Biggy hit?

Yes but Dublin missed a penalty, missed another sitter and went for points when goals were on. They were also not at their best. In truth, Meath could have been beaten alot more if the Dubs were up for it. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 23/06/2019 19:43:53 2199276 Link 4 |
They were 4 well taken points in fairness. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 23/06/2019 19:45:50 2199281 Link 1 |
I think some being quite harsh on Meath. Played bravely in first half but the lack of quality in the forwards did for them. Then tiredness (mental as much as anything) set in during 2nd half and the Dubs opened up. Hard to keep going against them when they get a run on you & you see the sheer quality of subs coming on.

How did the GAA "force" Meath to play like that?

Why thank you. Commisserations to Monaghan on their untimely departure too.

Certainly not. He disposed a few dubs with ease and if the oldest player on Meath team can do that, imagine what the Kerry lads would do. Missed 3 Newman missed 3 Brennan missed 4.osullivan only took one shot and sent it wide. All had a bad day. Why pick out one player? royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 23/06/2019 20:14:56 2199315 Link 0 |
Are you planning on signing Dermot Connolly with that money? Meath is a single code county, has a comparatively large population which is increasing and within close proximity of the capital so no training or emigration issues and has a mighty football tradition. 4 points against a backfiring Dublin in a Leinster Final was just tragic. You could waste €1.5bn on that Meath setup and I still think they'd get whipped. If you have no tactics, no heart and can't take points from 15-20 yards out then you're not going to win the community games never mind a Delaney Cup. What are they doing in that fantastic facility, holding bingo nights? That was simply awful from Meath and Dublin were very poor in that first half. Not too sure where the Royal go from here but nobody will fear that.

"We not as bad as that" how you know you're not as bad as that? How do you know that's not Meath's level?

Overhyped by one or two here for years.

I know Jackeen as Monaghan are the only team that give you a game.
