I know there seems to be so called Meath people on here hoping we get hammered so they can say they were right. I have a good feeling about Sunday. a little bit of Meath madness and a wet day and all just like 86 and 96

Your wrong and blinkered(if you know what that means) reality is d Leinster championship is finished regardless of views counterviews etc. Dubs will not turn out in numbers until super 8's end off...

The closer it gets to Sunday, the more optimistic I'm getting. There is no pressure on Meath - league promotion under their belts and another shot at the super 8s no matter what happens. All the talk is of how much they will get beaten by. It's a win - win situation or as Andy Mac has been saying "a free shot". Dublin on the other hand are on the drive for 5 and anything less than a handsome win will be regarded as regression. Don't tell me that the Dublin players are not privately thinking about when the run in Leinster will end and the fact that they are always just one match away from it. Meath have never been bigger odds to win a game of football which makes no sense when you think of the progress we've made in the last couple of years. And you know what? I really don't care if i'm completely wrong because for the first time in a long time everything is on the up - we're in Div 1 next year and we'll have a stronger panel at our disposal. Others might say I'm being unrealistic but i just call it optimism and its the vibe i'm getting from the management and players - they're in the right frame of mind to give it a lash.

Are you telling me Meath players would rather play in Parnell park than Croke Park ?

I know the leinster championship is finished and the crowd will be small, whats that go to do with the players wanting to play at Croke Park over a provincial venue ?

We need to get him back ASAP, once the current Co Board are gone I think he'll come back.

1) no issues with you being optimistic. Good on ya. Of course there is no pressure on Meath. I don't agree its win win though, get an absolute drubbing and I wouldn't be so sure your players will recover mentally from that to play potentially Monaghan/Tyrone/Mayo, a decent calibre of team basically, could be wrong though, we will see should that play out how Meath react.

2) With respect If you, as a Meath man, are hoping Dublin, a team who are serial winners, Who have had the bottle and the experience to win every close championship game they've played in recent memory including the biggest of games, all Ireland finals, will feel a bit of pressure about a loss coming either this year or next in a competition weve won 13 years out of 14, then youre seriously, seriously clutching at straws

3) There is a reason why Meath have never been bigger odds to win a game of football and it makes total sense. If Dublin start the game the same as they did v Kildare with maybe rock coming in, they'll start with 180 medals (all Irelands, Leinsters, allianz leagues) between them, The Meath team will likely have zero. Dublin have beaten every opponent in the province and beaten the handicap which this weekend is -12, over the past 3 or 4 years, all by double figures. Dublin are going for 5 all Irelands in a row, Meanwhile Meath haven't played a D1 team in Croke Pk in the championship since, 2016, when Dublin beat them by 10 pts. The bookies are neutral, They aren't interested in supporting one team or the other, and they don't give Meath much hope, most of the country don't give Meath much hope and the reasons behind why are completely logical.

"having another shot"...that in my opinion is one of the reasons Meath haven't had much success in Leinster since the backdoor came in in 2001.

We need to approach this game as if there no more shots.

Your right about 100 All-Irelands this 80 leinsters that. Ok meath Players are way off the mark there, But in 2000 Meath where All-Ireland Champions from 99 and offaly beat first game it was a early exit for Meath. big shock but all the the Irleands we had and Leinsters counted for feck all that day. we where out as it was back then. Similarly Louth got within a point of us in 98 squeaked through that day with Meath Legend like Fay gearthy giles etc. all playing. So minute you start we with have more All-ireland there for we cant not lose its a dodgy path.

It's like saying my da is bigger than ur da mentality.
The Celtic cross can't kick a point or make a tackle, at the end of the day it's 15 v 15.
And we ain't coming to make up the numbers. That's not how Andy works.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

I listed reasons as to why Dublin are 1/50 on in the bookies and was using the medals more as a reason why Dublin being such heavy favourites is logical.

Yes, I agree, Thats is why I said "your right" And I listed a few reasons why All-Ireland medals did'nt count for much but you ignored that.
