RD. Do you think Meath pull off a Leinster title in 2022?

League form and whatever happened last year or the year before goes totally out the window now. Kerry put 6 goals past Morgan a few short months ago. They couldn't even put one past him, when it counted. There'll be a point or two between the two sides, nothing more when Joe McQuillan sounds the final whistle. And it'll be after a physically bruising, dour, but thoroughly enthralling game. It'll be similar to the Tyrone/Kerry game, but with Mayo defending far better than Kerry. 17 points will win the final. I'm really looking forward to this final. Can't wait actually! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2322 - 02/09/2021 10:36:17 2377202 Link 1 |

Kind of a jackass of a comment to make. * Kerry have lost 23 finals; * Cork have lost 16 finals; * Dublin have lost 13 finals; * Galway have lost 13 finals; * Mayo have lost 14 finals. Actually, the only county with a 100% record in AI football finals, is my father's county, Limerick. Do these statistics mean that I am going to try and make a case that Limerick with no failures at all in a final is a better footballing county than Kerry, the county with the most failures? Not likely, Shem! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2322 - 02/09/2021 10:47:55 2377205 Link 2 |

Ohh heart says yes , head says no. Dublin aren't done with yet by any means. Kildare if they actually decide to play to win against Dublin (maybe new manager needed). And indeed then there is ur own Offaly, who with a nice sprinkling of u20s coming in could mount a challenge, that been said it could be another couple of years for them to establish themselves. I'm hopeful but no more. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 02/09/2021 11:50:12 2377219 Link 0 |

On their day Meath could more than give a game to Mayo or Tyrone. There are shoots of recovery in Leinster football. The minor and U20 All Ireland champions are based there and the two All Ireland senior finalists shouldn't hold too much fear for the likes of Meath over the next few years. You're correct Dublin are Dublin but I don't think we'll see the same dominant Dublin; hopefully they can be taken on in Leinster in the same way they will be in the All Ireland series for the good of football.

Kerry scored more than Tyrone in the semifinal. 5 scores more but still did nt win. Beware I think there s more in this Tyrone forward line. I fancy Mayo but not a given.

By record in All Ireland finals, I was referring to their record of winning and losing. Wins/Loses Kerry 37/23 [14+] Dublin 30/13 [17+] Galway 9/13 [-4] Cork 7/16 [-9] Mayo 3/14 [-11] Tyrone 3/3 [0] baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 02/09/2021 12:49:54 2377231 Link 2 |

In Connacht, the footballers had stiff competition from both Mayo and Roscommon for years whilst the hurlers had none. Kerry complained this year that the 5 week wait hampered their preparation for the Tyrone game but the Galway hurlers, for years, had to wait 8 weeks or more with no championship game as preparation for an All Ireland Semi-final. The system in the hurling was totally unfair to both Antrim and Galway. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 02/09/2021 13:37:09 2377252 Link 0 |

Galway have 9 wins from 22 finals, which is a 41% win rate. Mayo have 3 wins from 17 finals, which is almost 18%. No argument on who has the better record, but it's all fairly irrelevant today. Mayo have been by far the better team for the past decade. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2411 - 02/09/2021 13:56:50 2377258 Link 0 |

I agree Dublin will be the team to beat next year. Offaly's big test next year is to stay in a tough Division 2. It will take a few years for those U20s who make it through to the Senior team, to make an impact in Leinster. Tomas O'Se might be a game changer for us??.

Hopefully. Indeed you are right green shoots are coming but we need to see them flourish.

Great appointment. There's a buzz around Offaly football not seen in a long time. Yes it's vital that you stay in division 2, so when those u20s come into their own it's at a high level.

I'd like to think things are looking up for our footballers too. We beat Wicklow and only lost to Dublin by 8 points in Leinster with a largely young team and our u20s ran Offaly very close too losing by just a point. If the game had gone on for another few minutes we would probably have won. But great cause for hope after a few bad years .
