Replying To JJ1: "Meath will have a 2 week break before the qualifiers and then a good 10 months before the first round of the Leinster" Hopefully you wont draw mayo in the qualifiers or you will have a long summer. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 12/06/2017 21:30:20 1998762 Link
Replying To JJ1: "Meath will have a 2 week break before the qualifiers and then a good 10 months before the first round of the Leinster" in all seriousness the losers of meath/kildare will play either mayo,clare or the losers of tyrone/donegal. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 12/06/2017 22:00:07 1998775 Link
This has the makings of a classic. Both made serious statements of intent with Kildare very eye-catching I fancy Meath to win maybe after a replay and give the Dubs a fair rattle. Kildare may well do some damage in the qualifier's . salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 12/06/2017 22:00:45 1998776 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "in all seriousness the losers of meath/kildare will play either mayo,clare or the losers of tyrone/donegal." Clare are certainly no pushovers. Improving all the time and have some very handy forwards. Would be a tough away draw for most teams JJ1 (Kildare) - Posts: 547 - 12/06/2017 23:22:51 1998826 Link
Serious amount of trash talk here I like it. Two counties of proud footballing tradition (despite the fact that ye have 3 Leinsters and 0 All Irelands since 1935 compared to our 20 Leinsters and 7 All Irelands but we'll leave that there). It really is 50/50 and hard to call. Your midfield is definatelty better than ours but we have more scoring forwards. Could go either way LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 13/06/2017 01:23:10 1998842 Link

Btw all slagging aside. Where is lillywhite1 ? One of my favourite posters on hs, a real gent who knows his stuff. Anyone from Kildare know. Honest question as I am worried , thought he be all over this thread. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 13/06/2017 07:39:56 1998856 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "would say our midfield has got better though?" Yeah it has an we have Paddy O'Rourke's kickouts which we didn't have in the league which is an advantage despite his proneness to a meltdown. Our midfields strength is their running and ability to cover ground. On the Kildare kickouts though if they go long Jones and Menton give up 3 inches each to Feely and Moolick. We have to hope we can get punches and win breaks. But if they get on top they could just mark and mark and mark the thing and control the game LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 13/06/2017 11:38:16 1998964 Link
Plenty of white flags on display on Saturday anyway. Mostly from Meath points, not the terraces mind. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 13/06/2017 11:40:42 1998966 Link

Midfield still crucial in the 'modren' game. We were beaten there in the Galway games but destroyed most other teams in the league which provided a good platform for our forwards. Feely and Moolick are a very good partnership and compliment each other quite well. There are a couple of areas where i have some concern. Our backs - the half back line were excellent the last day but i temper any of that with how bad Laois were. Still have tendancy to give up big scores. Free taker - Neil Flynn injured. Feely took frees the last day but not near as reliable. Still fancy us having enough to beat Meath on Saturday despite the above frailties, however would be a bigger concern if we were playing better teams.

http://hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=271562 Huge game. Whoever wins crosses over to the weaker side of the draw and would fancy their chances of being in the last 8. The loser could see themselves with a tough 3rd round qualifier fixture if they get through round 2. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4222 - 13/06/2017 13:47:25 1999087 Link
Just bought the Leinster Leader and ah lads, we haven't hope if this is anything to go by. They're basically advertising the game as a family fun day, just come down and watch the Kildare team have a bit of a kickabout sort of thing. We have things like: 'Kildare of course gave Meath a big hiding in the opening game of the NFL' (About the same game) 'winning 3-17 to 2-7' (on their recent Leinster Semi trouble) 'The time is ripe for Kildare to finally put an end to that semi-final nightmare'. 'O'Connor Park is a stadium one feels will suit The Lilies' Basically Meath are screwed. Well on the back of that I for one would like to congratulate Kildare on their semi-final success and wish them all the best in Leinster final. Hopefully you's can keep things tight and give the Dubs a right run for their money. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 13/06/2017 14:12:18 1999102 Link
