Congratulations Dublin. A win without playing too well. Fair play to Meath. Absolutely refused to lie down in the second half and fought until the end. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7981 - 18/07/2021 18:20:54 2361191 Link
Replying To realdub: "Leinster football is back, fair play to Meath, Dubs will be in trouble when meeting a serious side!" Be careful or you'll probably be called a troll or something for having an opinion like that around here Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 18/07/2021 18:27:05 2361202 Link

Irreversible damage done in the 1st half, but it will be spun by the media in a different light.. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 18/07/2021 18:30:02 2361206 Link
Replying To Forpucksake: "Fair play to Meath for giving it a go in the second half. My God, Dublin are fierce boring to watch. Hopefully Brian Fenton will be okay after that violent challenge that won him a penalty. The Dublin physios will have their work cut out to get him right for Kildare." What were you watching, Fenton had the ball passed for a "gimme" goal b4 the ref blew. Fenton played on wasn't lookin 4 a penalty, and would have been a goal anyhow. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 891 - 18/07/2021 18:32:24 2361214 Link
First time I've ever left a match where the loosing supporters were happier than the winning ones. Pride restored in the jersey. Penalty that was, not given. Penalty that wasn't, given. That been said Dublins experience paid in the in. No complaints. Congratulations to them and I do hope they do the 7 in a row. As for Meath ? We move on with renewed hope and enthusiasm. To quote someone. "We haven't gone away you know ". Hon the royal. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 18/07/2021 18:34:41 2361216 Link

Hopefully he will be ok, very similar to the violent challenge Sterling got when he fell for England's penalty against Denmark!. Seriously the 2 big penalty calls the ref got wrong distorted the half time scoreline a bit, no way Dublin deserved to be 11 up at half time. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1413 - 18/07/2021 18:35:25 2361218 Link

If we get by Kildare and you Galway, you have a serious chance against this Dublin side. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8752 - 18/07/2021 18:35:32 2361219 Link
Replying To arock: "Bizarre game, one thing is certain this Dublin team will not win an AI final. A dud on the side line and more than one dud on this team. Hard luck Meath." Agree with the dud on the sideline. Who are the duds on the team? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5246 - 18/07/2021 18:41:11 2361230 Link
Nothing to see here. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 18/07/2021 18:42:49 2361233 Link
Didn't see the game but maybe people now can see that just like Kk in hurling teams can dominate for longer than historically but they always always come back to the pack eventually. I have loved watching Dublin play and think they're the greatest men's GAA team of all time but their current team should not put fear into all the rest. They may well win the all Ireland again but their panel on paper is no longer anywhere near as strong as it was. You can't continue to lose the pampers they have lost (regardless of if they no longer started) and ms I rain where you were. They're still going to be at the top but the talks of 10 in a row, etc will never happen. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 18/07/2021 18:44:18 2361235 Link

The last 5 mins were very boring but effective, it's sad to see keep ball in last 5 mins. Dublin had better fitness in the end. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1413 - 18/07/2021 18:44:59 2361238 Link

Nonsense. He felt two hands on his shoulders and hit the deck. If there's a definition of playing for a penalty, you saw it there. Forpucksake (UK) - Posts: 131 - 18/07/2021 18:46:04 2361239 Link

Replying To yew_tree: "Dublin 10 points up already. Will there be a national outcry like last week? It's one thing to worry about Leitrim but Meath are a traditional football powerhouse and are so far behind Dublin playing in 3rd gear here." Easier to pat Leitrim fans on the head than Meath ones. kick-it (Leitrim) - Posts: 33 - 18/07/2021 18:59:48 2361260 Link
Replying To The_Fridge: "Never in doubt. 5 in it. Easy win" I'm sorry for your troubles, it must be disappointing for you and you expecting to be able to slate Meath after a 20 point Dublin win. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1413 - 18/07/2021 19:02:51 2361265 Link
Gaps not closing. Dublin stopped playing in the second half. Don't be fooled into thinking Leinster is anything other than a farce. But the funding is safe for another year. That's the important thing after all. Daith (Kildare) - Posts: 1172 - 18/07/2021 19:08:33 2361273 Link
Replying To Daith: "Gaps not closing. Dublin stopped playing in the second half. Don't be fooled into thinking Leinster is anything other than a farce. But the funding is safe for another year. That's the important thing after all." Are you suggesting we let them back in to make it look tight? realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8752 - 18/07/2021 19:22:03 2361285 Link
Replying To realdub: "If we get by Kildare and you Galway, you have a serious chance against this Dublin side." Mayo have lost more players than the Dubs to retirements and injury. Dublin should get to the Final likely against Kerry which would be a hard game to call. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2406 - 18/07/2021 19:22:34 2361286 Link

Seriously the 2 big penalty calls the ref got wrong distorted the half time scoreline a bit, no way Dublin deserved to be 11 up at half time." The ref did his best for Meath from the 25 minute to the end giving easy frees all through for Meath. Dublin maybe got 2 or 3 frees in the last 45-50 mins with the ref blatantly refusing to blow the whistle for a Dublin free. I will have to see the penalty decisions again to make judgement on them to be fair. I think Conor lane should not be refereeing at this level. Another thing is that Kildare or Meath will not beat Dublin in Leinster anytime soon which is sad because Dublin were very average today and still never looked liked loosing superdub (Dublin) - Posts: 392 - 18/07/2021 19:23:39 2361288 Link
