Galvin has a heap of All Irelands so Of course it was revenge of the hurt of the other beatings that had him crying obviously he would have liked to get more chances at getting more revenge at tyrone instead of one qualifier but that didn't happen, Dublin winning in '11 was always going to be historic after not wining it in 17 years it didn't matter who we played and revenge had nothing to do with it we just wanted an All Ireland (even doh it was nice that it was kerry).

hardly expect the dublin players this weekend to be looking for revenge
sure 90% of them were watching the match like the rest of us on here that day.

I'm going to go for Donegal Cork Mayo and Kerry to win this weekend. Although Dublin are a league team so they could win, tough one to call really.

The only reason I say Dublin are a league team is ye won the last 2 leagues (back to back) :-D but ye'r not a bad championship team either and ye'r team of the decade for now ;-)

Very good performance from this Dublin side tonight, Jack McCaffrey is becoming a serious player. Terrible result for Kildare, that is not a good Meath team!

A very sweet win :)

While disappointed with the result, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed a gripping game played if front of a big crowd who really got involved in proceedings & gave the match a championship air. More games like this would see crowds flocking back to league games!!

Both teams went at it hammer & tongs & while neither are at full steam or anything like it they didn't leave anything behind them either. There is now also a bit of an edge between them & should they meet again this summer, I for one will relish the occasion.

As I posted earlier in the week, Dublin really wanted to win this & they really impressive. Defensively they were unrecogniseable from the shambles of last August & the biggest compliment I can pay them is that they looked like Donegal at times in the way they hunted in packs & forced bad shooting decisions. Granted they are not the full duvet, but they are a lot closer to it than the man to man defending advocated by some on HS. Are Mayo now the only leading team standing up for old fashioned values & the way the game "should" be played?

Donegal were bit of a curate's egg, good in parts poor in others. Both Murphy & McNiallais faded in the second half. McFadden is a mile off the pace & some of the decision making, McHugh's chance in the first half springs to mind, was poor. However there were also some good performances, McBrearty especially, & I look forward to the rest of the summer.

Goals win games, last August it was Donegal who got them, yesterday it was Dublin. Such is life.

Good win last night meath always seem to wait till the second half before they have a proper go at it which against the best teams is always way too late Id agree with you realdub it's not a good meath team but it has proven to be the second best in leinster which shows the poor standard in the province

Good result by a old style meath last night. Dogged, not pretty but effective. Tormey was outstanding. Eamonn wallace came on near end so that's one back, reilly getting black card was redicules it wasn't a black card. Nearly cost us the game.
Management still at sea but some players really stood up.

You just worry about your own team, thanks

Fair play to Dublin last night. They were the better team and we just didn't take our chances when presented. I said earlier in the week that last weekend all the teams that won took their goal chances and what a goal Mc Caffery got last night.

It was real manly stuff last night with big hits coming in from both sides. Deegan had his work cut out for him and thought he performed poorly.

Our lads will improve and this game will do them no harm. With the players that Dublin have to come back added to the defensive edge they showed last night they will be a tough but to crack later in the year.

Really enjoyed the craic with the dubs fans last night. Witty banter all the way.

Don't take it personally, it's a forum and it's just MY opinion! I thought Kildare would win last night as I think they're a better side but I was wrong about that for what it's worth.

the black card for Reilly after 5mins,honestly I do not get it,you see proper black card offences not given as black cards.. Meath done well,they battled,but overall it was another poor display,luckily though that Kildare are a very poor side.
