Neither of them would hold a candle to Cork and let's not even discuss their chances against Kerry.

Here's another one though. Would either of them even beat Limerick or Tipperary? But didn't Meath play Limerick last year?

How did tht finish?? tee hee

fredrickwood we dont take ourselves that seriously,but in any case jacks is short for jackeens and go and find out what the term actually means .and no its not because we hung the butchers apron from our windows so the black and tans would not kill us.it actually means a few things but it was mostly used as a way to describe an aggressive dublin drunk in the 1800s.you might be offened if somebody called you that but not me sir,iv much more important things to worry about.
oh the jacks are back
the jacks are back
let the hill 16 go crazy
cause the railway end has never seen
the likes of gilroys army.

priceless

Finglas full ba your a poet and ya dont know it.proiceless
Now put down tha can a dutch gowld an tell is who's gonna win on sunday?I reckon the dubs will run out comfortable winners by 5/6 points.Your confidence is well placed ffb gilroy has inherited a good squad and its hard to know where to look for inspiration from a meath point of view.

Lads we don't expect you to understand.. So keep out of our business. This is between us and Meath. It's a very old rivalry that goes back decades...and it means a lot to both sets of players and supporters. We've never asked to be acknowledged in anyway for our rivalry, but it's a valuable traditional rivalry that exists and has existed for a very long time, it's a Leinster thing. It's a shared border thing. It's between us and them.

The atmosphere will be fantastic. So sit back and enjoy, You're welcome.

Someone from Louth slagging the historical legacy of Dublin and Meath is a bit like, I don't know, maybe a Celta Vigo or Barnsley supporter claiming that the Champions League final was a bit dull and over-rated.

Yes Jimbodub..

You hit the nail right on the head..

Unfortunately though theres plenty of imbeciles who are envious of our rivalry and would love have such a thing to enjoy themselves...

So Leinster rivalry, history and hard tough football/hurling is OK but when Ulster neighbours compete against each other it's thuggery? You can't have it both ways lads, there is an awful lot of hypocrisy and double standards going on here. I love these matches with the proviso that they can get out of hand BUT a lot that is down to parochialism and provincial rivalry. While not condoning some of the nonsense that goes on you have to accept that it will, it happens in all sporting derbies across the globe. I bet if they knock seven bells out of each other on Sunday there won't be a tenth of the negative criticism Ulster got last week. Look at the Leinster hurling matches, Laois and Galway descended into a free for all while there were some awful dirty strokes and very bad swipes in the Wexford/Offaly game. It was all virtually ignored so you can see why Ulster fans, managers and pundits get annoyed and angry at the two faced nature of the Association and Southen media.

Some posters like RLF brag about Ulster football all the time, but becomes very angry over Meath's prodigious history and say it wasn't fair.
Well playing games can be a lot of fun, but boasting when you win, or getting angry when you lose spoils the fun for everyone, and pretty soon, nobody will want to play with you. So take a tip from me, be a good winner and a good loser. You'll enjoy your games more and so will the people who play with you.

You MIGHT have a point if that were true. However, there is no historical legacy to this derby. Certainly not in the same way as there is with Dubs V Kerry or Kerry V Cork. Finally and more importantly I was noting how their clashes (of the 90s) were very forgettable experiences (apart from the fisticuffs that would put Ulster to shame) and apart from the unusual nature of the 1991 series there is absolutely nothing of note that any young player or GAA fan would want to learn or remember. As I said a veritable YAWNFEST so stop the senseless hype!!

RALF: Listen in order to experiecne a Leinster Final against Meath.. you need to reach one. There's an incredible atmosphere.. I cant describe it any better.. memories that stay with you for life..bad and good. Now please stop the non-sense, it's very obvious that you really dont have a breeze about Leinster football.

jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20763 - 04/06/2009 13:08:27    301654

RLF says the clashes of the 90s were forgettable apart from the unusual nature of 1991...

1993..Jack Sheedy last minute point wins it for Dublin
1995..possibly the best Dublin performance ever in this fixture gives Dublin a 10 point win
1997...Bealin hits the crossbar with a last minute penalty handing Meath victory

some yawnfest

bubba not SOME yawnfest an ABSOLUTE yawnfest and exhibition of bad football and pulling & dragging as the phrase was coined.

The poor football merges them all into one. I have never missed a Leinster final and seen countless Leinster championship matches yet apart from 91 not one match of the 90s stands out.

RLF, what about meath v kildare in 97, 3 clsaaic games and the royal come out on top yet again.

millhouse (Meath) - Posts: 892 - 04/06/2009 15:55:24    301841

RLF those "yawnfest" Leinster finals in the 90s gave the province 8 All Ireland finalists and 3 Sam Maguires...so much for the poor standard.

Maybe it will improve vastly if Louth ever make it to the final!
