Replying To Jack_Goff: "When Dublin are eventually beaten it will just be another meath vs Dublin in 2010 scenario. It will motivate Dublin more and you'll go onto win another 4/5 in a row until you eventually lose. This sport has no future when the county with all the natural advantages gets all the resources.
It's amateurs vs professionals and there's really nothing to be proud of regarding Dublin. You're just doing what's expected of you.
BTW can't wait to see Dublin do the 8 in a row in leinster next year. Such excitement." Kerry won the League final and the 2014 All Ireland. Donegal in 2012. We lost the last 2 All Ireland's, though the scoreboard is a bit misleading, Dublin are masters at closing big games. So it's possible to get close to their level.
No one is denying that Dublin don't have advantages. But they're not responsible for the slide in some counties standards. Using it as an excuse not to at least put all your efforts into striving to get to their standard isn't sport, it's denial.

I suppose that it's Dublin's fault that Kildare humiliated Meath this year?
Are Kildare all professional players Jack Goff?
Or well WM have also had Meaths number in recent years..
Are they professionals too?
They must be going by your own logic..
What you reckon?

Why should amateur players make such commitments only to be beaten out the gate against a team of professionals who have every possible advantage gratuitously bestowed on them by the GAA?? Why? It's not a competitive sport anymore. And don't give me the Mayo have come close argument. Mayo are as far away as ever from winning an All Ireland and haven't won one since 1951 so don't go lecturing people from more successful counties about throwing in the towel...this is not about throwing in the towel, this is about basic respect for the sport. Millions have been thrown at one team who already had huge advantages and now we have a competition that is a farce.
Again watch the intercounty scene fall apart in the next 5 years. Nobody is going to watch and fewer and fewer players are going to bother taking part.
Just wait for the amount of players from my own county who are leaving the panel, it's a mass exodus and we can't be the only county.

Ye have plenty of pickings, don't give me that resources rubbish, ye have no excuses, ye could have put in the work years ago but ye didn't. Quit your bellyaching, the Meath greats must shudder when they read stuff like that.
If we lose and are motivated to come back even stronger, that's a testament to our attitude and resolve, where has Meaths gone?

You must be heavily involved in the Meath set up considering their slide from a once competitive side.They need blokes like you when the chips are down. Positive approach and making sure you are the best you can be.Keep up the good work.

Now they're so far behind they want ye split in two to give them a chance.

Have you heard anything from cuederocket lately?
He's a sound old skin and was a great contributor to the Kerry page and the main page as well.
Anyway I hope he's ok and just taking a break from the madness.

What you reckon?" We did that to Meath twice this year...........just saying:). The only way you can go play Dublin is with a positive, attacking attitude. Fair enough we got beaten by 9 but apart from Mayo, Kildare were the team who got nearest to the Dubs and that was by playing an open attacking style. Sit back and you will get picked off. Can't believe how much of the spirit is gone out of the Meath people on here nowadays. Leinster needs a competitive Meath team.

I've you personally ever won an All Ireland? Some counties need to look and fix from within besides maiming about Dublin's advantages.

What more resources do Kildare, Kerry, Mayo, Galway ,Tyrone, Donegal, Tipp, Clare, Roscommon, Westmeath etc etc have over Meath??

Between 1997 and 2007 six different counties won leinster. It's no coincidence that meath are not the only team incapable of beating Dublin in the province. 4 other competitive counties are also miles off.
When we are resorting to putting Kildare on a pedestal who got hammered this year you know things are bad. They haven't won a provincial title in 17 years. the reality is Dublin are at a professional level while everyone else is either amateur or semi professional. It's not a level playing field.
If meath had the resources and player base of Dublin, and Dublin had the resources and player base of meath the results would swing.
Meath would hammer Dublin annually and Dublin would win nothing. the gaa has become an embarrassment. Anyway, enjoy winning 8/9/10 in a row lads because I know one thing for sure. I'll not be going to anymore leinster championship games. And judging by attendances in the province, the vast majority of leinster gaels are already boycotting the province. Bring on the hurling.

Yeah, bring on the hurling.
It's not like anyone was dominating that for 15 years or so.
