So much for the whingers on here banging on about the unstoppable blue machine, the various 'advantages', the full time coaches, the population, the home advantage, the millions in games devlopment grants and whatever other excuse you can come up with for your own county's failings. That's the blue minors now out, U21s also out. Well done Meath on proving that there is no substitute for hard work and belief. At the end of the day it's 15 v 15 and a leather ball. Split Meath in two! Let's hope the seniors can buck the trend this year.

Some good players on that Dublin side,but Meath were impressive today.Some lovely footballers on that team and well coached by Barry Callaghan.I have watched some of Meaths development squads too and Meath are without question getting their act together.

So a couple of your underage teams lose therefore the advantages are a myth? Jaysus I didn't realise every county was on exact level footing! It could be lietrims year any year now!

If all the money spent on coaches was the main reason for success it should be most obvious at underage level. Yet underage in Leinster is competitive and Dublin certainly are not dominating nationally in minor or U21. Maybe results like this will help people realise their senior success is mainly down to having an outstanding group of players come together at the one time.
We'll done to Meath today, a great result for them and hopefully a sign that they are making their way back to the top table.

Actually it was 15 vs 14, red card was a turning point.

But congrats to Meath.

Red was a turning point??

Meath lead 0-12 to 1-2 when it was 15 v 15,so I wouldn't go that far.

Excellent result, well done to our minors, first big result for Meath football in quite a while, our seniors have been up to nothing for years now, so hopefully the young lads can give the aul lads a boost!

All jokes aside, this is an important win for Meath football, time for the football people of the Royal county to draw from it.

Indeed its very important to build on, this is Meath football biggest win in 6 years, but it will count for little if they don't push on and win Leinster.
