Replying To lilypad: "Well done to armagh, deserving winners today, I see the Meath lads are quite pleased, sadly for them its the only pleasure they'll get for the foreseeable." Don't tar us all with your one big brush, I wanted to see good representation of Leinster teams in the last 8, sadly that is not the case.....

Replying To festinog: "Leinster, the most populated province in the country, has only one team left in the championship. And Leinster's second best team has now been beaten recently by Ulster's and Connacht's also-rans.
What does this say about Leinster football? Meath, Laois, offaly, stop your messing and get on with it! Louth had a bit of blip there, but seems to have fallen away. Westmeath occasionally sputters, but never ignites. Longford? Do they have a team? Wicklow? Is it all the hills getting in the way? Carlow? At least they try. Dare I even mention Kilkenny who don't even have the hurling anymore? (Cheeky, I know!) But speaking of which, at least Wexford are back in the mix with the small ball, so they have some sort of excuse. What's going on in that province, does anyone care to explain?
Shockingly bad." Your not very well educated about the work going on in Meath if that's your opinion, you couldn't beat us in the League in Navan so perhaps ye have a few issues yourselves to resolve!!!!

Replying To MesAmis: "The Big Bad Wolf theory doesn't explain the rest of Leinster's bad record against teams that are not Dublin though.
Dublin can only knock them out of the Leinster Championship." Don't ask Ulsterman difficult questions like zollander he's limited to one look and one answer only to all questions , if you asked him his mothers maiden name Im sure its Mrs Dublinsfault

Shockingly bad." In fairness Laois have beaten Armagh the last four times they met. At the same time Kildare have beaten Laois the last four or five times at least. I wish I could explain it. Just some teams play better against certain teams.

Ulsterman any comment why Antrim gave a walk over in an All Ireland under 17 semi final this week, your problems are a lot closer to home than looking south

The perception that Leinster football has fallen behind highlights the need to do away with the provincial championship.
I have been calling for it for years. A champions league type format.
