Replying To RoyalBadger:  "Amazing how these out of the skin performances reserved for Meath from Louth/Kildare/Westmeath etc will disappear as soon as its Dublin they have to play."
Plenty of days Meath lay down against Dublin in Leinster the past few years. . .

Monaghan v Derry was a magnificent game. It highlights the importance of a death ball specialist and long range free taker. Mr Joyce, go and get Barry McHugh.

Time to stop crying about Luke not playing.
Yea be good to have him.They lost to wexford and Laois with him, Wicklow last year.
So be it. There's enough talent on the pitch to win today.

Replying To RoyalBadger:  "It's a pity some of these Leinster 'football' counties can't motivate themselves against Dublin the same way they can against Meath"
Are you Kevin Keegan in disguise?

also the fact as far as im aware, getting to a leinster semi wouldnt have been the end to the year either, i think getting to a leinster semi gaurenteed an all ireland preliminary qtr final against a munster team...and who knows what could have happened. this could and should have been a journey where no westmeath minor team had gone before.
the more i think about it the more frustrated i get and disheartened....

Pretty prophetic post. One of our greatest ever victories. Every player a hero. Three more championship games guaranteed. Brilliant support too.

Replying To if_in_doubt:  "Fun while it lasted but normal service about to resume in Leinster with another easy title on the way for Dublin.

Meath must be kicking themselves."
Very ungracious post. Westmeath better team. So you think Kildare would stop Dublin? They couldn't stop a clock.

Brilliant from Westmeath all over the park today especially in extra time when after being deflated with a last second point taking victory away from them -they powered on in extra time and were worthy winners.Huge support for Westmeath today which was great to see and great for the lads-roll on the 17th and a crack at the Dubs in Croker.

Replying To Gantric:  "Down in the Tailteann Cup so, they might offer some challenge but I would still not show my hand here and wait for the proper qualifiers."
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Replying To southmeathgael:  "I was there, no they didnt, stop making stuff up. Lack of humility in victory just shows how winning isn't really something you are used too. We take it as a compliment when a team goes on like beating us is winning their all ireland. Hope you enjoyed the 2 week celebrations"
Two more weeks now to celebrate and plan for final!!!

Replying To M Lyster:  "Down had to beat Donegal (1st in National League) then Armagh (6th in NL) to reach the Sam Maguire stage,

Meanwhile Kerry just had to beat Clare (24th in NL) to make it. Until this discrepancy is rectified we'll never have a truly level championship."
But Kerry would have qualified anyway as 2nd in the League. The Clare game was irrelevant to the AI SFC, just like yesterdays Derry/Monaghan game was.

Plus if Down had stayed in Div 2. they wouldn't have had to worry about beating Donegal or Armagh.

Extremely disheartening and unfair. Trying to be positive and thinking we should have 3 good years at u20 with this group, just hoping we keep them all together. The plan should be for the vast majority of these lads to go on to hurl senior and hopefully be back in Leinster by then too.

Replying To Tadhg2020:  "Sure that was decided too.."
Thats a decision that would need revisiting if we went back to a 5 team Leinster Championship. Not fair that any Munster county can have a poor year with no penalty for it, while no Leinster county can.
Relegation would add a layer of excitement to the Munster Championship also.

To a man westmeath were outstanding today but I have to give special credit to the back three dillion, drumm and scahill outstanding. Defenders dont get much credit but the tackling and turn overs were brilliant. Brandon deservedly gets man of match and took the game to kildare. No doubt tge best team won today, well done mark mchugh and his management, what a turnaround in player belief in a year, roll on leinster.

Would it be too much to ask for RTÉ to put the score on the screen why they're showing highlights?

Replying To hootervillian:  "How many All Irelands have you got. You win a game and you start spouting. The Kerrys, Galways, Corks and Dubs can talk but Westmeath really have very little to talk about."
Lot more tonight than ye. What's Robbie B doing with the lads in the five weeks off!!!!!!
