I don't know really, Coylers Elbow. We do seen a bit weak down the centre of defence, think in the final twenty minutes of a game Moyles could struggle, maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think we could ask for too much better wing backs and corner backs, the ones we have are very good. Just Kevin Reilly can be a bit dodgy, he was more or less at fault for the goals against Kildare in the League. I'd like to have Moyles somewhere on the field though, he's one of the few leaders, and given that we are lacking a bit in CHB department, that looks the best option - and maybe only option - for him.

Big worry for Meath against will be where the scores come from. We'll be looking to Bray, who hasn't really been in great form recently and Farrell, who is injured a lot lately to get them so if they don't fire, we are in trouble big time.

Dublin are hardly world beaters though, a low scoring game would probably suit us, maybe a help as well if it wasn't played in good conditions too. With fifteen minutes to go though, I'm fairly sure it will be anyone's for the taking.

294837 And what is reality for a Meath supporter, JJ1?

Surely, going on the League, Meath are at least as good as Kildare?

That may be the case we shall see. Kildare have a good draw and as a result I see us being in the championship proper longer than Meath. That is the reality for meath as I see it

jj1 i still think you cant grasp the concept that all meath dublin games are tight and this will be the situation again wheather you like it or not. other leinster teams arnt the same. they dont raise their game to another level when they play dublin if they arnt leinster contender already. kildare were in 98. when have they ever made a real impact or put it up to the champions when the wernt actual contenders

say what you want. ye, meath are probably way behinf dublin but on the actual day it will be extremely close like it always is. all form goes out the window when these two meet

i cant believe meath fans are talking up joe sheridan.meath football must be in some state if sheridan can even get near the panel.the best player yiz have is moyles and sure he was born and bred in blanch.

32_4_1 : I think you should check Kildare results against Dublin in the last decade or so. Think you'll find its better than Meaths

The only team I can see beating Dublin this year in Leinster is Meath.... and that's because Meath might be able to raise the bar against Dublin with the rivalary at stake... If this turns out to be the case then it's an open shop between Wexford Laois and Meath, possibily Kildare.

Meath won't win Leinster but imo their the only team capable of raising the bar enough to compete with Dublin

ye and they were one of the tops teams in leinster then when they beat dublin and dublin were going through a transition period. when kildare have weak teams they cant play above themselves like any other leinster teams except meath and dublin. just face the reality jj1 dublin forwards arnt going to have a field day, dublin arnt going to hammer us and the only way kildare have a chance of getting to the leinster final is if they get the luck of the draw, which they have. if meath or dublin were on that side they wouldnt get close to the leinster final. and if they do get there they arnt going to win it as they will have to play meath/dublin

and finglas full ba its called sarcasm

32_4_1 : Sounds like you are quite jealous of Kildare to me. You must be worried
