Firstly regards your underage sucess. Well done. But that's easy part. Because kildare have problem with underage sucess. They are one of the few counties in Ireland who cannot underage sucess into senior sucess. Meath who are always opposite to kildare always turn underage into senior. Everytime Meath won underage All Ireland within 5 or 6 years Meath have won senior All Ireland. Everytime kildare have had underage sucess. Those players within 6 or 7 years are in div 3. I'm not making this up. 3 times kildare had underage sucess. 1 Kildare in late 60s won U21 All Ireland and reached their only ever minor All Ireland in early 1970s losing to Tyrone. Team showed bit promise got to leinster final but within 6 years those kildare players ended up in div 3. 22009 kildare won U21 leinster title and reached U21 All Ireland final losing to kerry. Again kildare howed promise but by 2015 those kildare players 6 year later were relegated to div 3. 3 kildare won U20 All Ireland in 2018. I was really impressed. But again kildare shows promise reached leinster final, but 6 later those group of kildare players in 2024 got relegated to div 3. The key is to stop boom bust cycle of kildare foot all. Have underage sucesa show promise reach leinster final land ose than within 6 years are in div 3. Kildare have yo yoed division for ten years. 4 or 5 relegations in 10 years. Kildare have huge issue with hype. Building up young players. Not building on underage sucess. It's mystery why kildare have never built sucess on underage sucess. If its that easy to beat Dublin. Why can kildare never bear Dubs. If its that easy to beat ublin how come kildare beat Dubs in championship once or twice every half century. If that's easy to beat kerry why can kildare only beat kerry once every 100 years. If that easy to beat Galway why have kildare not beaten Galway in 102 years. If that easy to beat the top teams why have kildare only beaten two top teams outside leinster since 1928 eg Kerry in 2018 and Kerry in 1998. Kildare have only beaten 1 top team in Croke Park outside leinster in 100 years. If its so easy why cannot kildare ever beat Dublin or a kerry or a Galway. Let see kildare next year beat Dublin Galway and keery in championship. Let see kildare in next 5 years beat Dublin or a Galway or a kerry in championship. Let's see kildare bear Dublin next year. In last 40 years Meath have beaten Dublin 9 times and 5 draws in leinster championship. Let see kildare in next 40 years beat Dubs 9 times in championship. Beating Dublin anytime in leinster by any leinster is toughest opponent for any leinster team to beat. The Dubs have always had aura in leinster. Kildare have always feared the Dubs. Let's see kildare beat Dublin next year. For first time in 26 years. Kildare always degrade Meaths successes. Jealousy and bitterness is terrible. I have seem Meath All Irelands and kildare fans telling me Meath were lucky. I saw Meath winning leinster titles and kildare fans saying Meath are useless. If Meath won ten All Ireland in a row kildare would say Meath are lucky or dirty or crap. Jealousy of Meath is deep rooted in kildare. When Meath beat Dubs keery Galway not a peep out of kildare. Meath lose they are dancing on the Streets of kilcock and Athy. Also Meath didn't just beat Dublin and kerry they played brillant football v Dubs and kerry. Meath were 12 pts up at half time v Dubs after outstanding exhibition of football. Kildare wins in 98 scraped over average Dublin Team and 2000 Dubd played kildare of the field in first half. Average Dublin Team. Kildare only other leinster was in 1956 v average wexfotd team. And kildare All Ireland winbs in 1920s 1910s was when very few counties took game serious. Its only in 1940s All Ireland championship because competitive nationwide competition. Meath were outstanding v kerry. One kerry journalist said it was best performance he saw by team from leinster in championship other than Dubs in 20 years. It was kerrys biggest defeat in championship in 24 years. Let's see kildare hammer kerry next year. Kildare are curentky struggling to beat div 3 div 4. But let's see them beat Dublin and kerry. Seen it so east to do, according to you. Meath beat Kerry Dublin Galway. Yet kildare are struggling to beat Fermanagh and Limerick. As Colm.Boyle said today in paper kildare have a long long way to go. Meath and Down in Tailtean cup played some brillant football in their finals and semi finals. Kildare were dreadful in both games. Fermanagh was worst game on tv this year. Kildare were lucky to beat brave but limited Limerick team. Kildare look like have no structure at back v div 3 teams, midfield still reliant on Feehily. Same old kildare upfront. Cannot score in Croke Park. Another thing kildare have a problem with. Kildare really struggle in Croke Park. Up to Tailtean cupI think only 3 wins in Croke Park in last 25 to 30 games. Something dreadful like that. Kildare supporters tell me always they hate playing in Croke Park. Kildare are decent in Newbridge but once they play anywhere else, they lack confidence belief and play poorly. Struggle to beat div 3 div 4 teams. Celebrate wins over div 3 div 4 teams. While if other counties beat Dublin or kerry, kildare say they were lucky. Maybe kildare will get lucky one day. I will finish this. Kildare are already starting hype machine. I see it. This is what ex Dublin player said to Colm Parkinson on podcast a couple years ago. He said i went to college with some of the current Kildare footbalkers. He said kildare have a tendency to lick themselves after one or two wins. Lose the run of themselves. Dublin footballer and Parkinson laughed. That's what Dublin think of kildare. Yet kildare fans like Joe Molloy on Irish indo podcast says he wants Dublin to win, like Dublin team. That's kildare problem. Imagine Meath man saying he would like to see Dublin winning 5 in a row. That's what another journalist said on national radio. Yet Kildare hate Meath, jealous of Meath, but neutral towards Dublin. While Dublin players make fun of kildare on podcasts. Meath are obsessed with Dublin, that why beat them, kildare are obsessed with Meath. That's why you beat us, but no top teams. Let see if kildare can actually beat Dublin kerry Galway next year ot next 5 years. If its so easy to do, surely even kildare can beat Dublin and kerry and Galway next year.

I said championship. I said no mention of the league. Kildare have beaten Dubs twice in championship and 2 draws in last 50 years. Kildare beat Dubs in championship in 1998 and 2000. Meath beat Dubs in championship 9 times and 5 draws. Meath 10 wins over Dubs in championship in last 40 years were in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2010, 2025 and Meaths draws v Dubs in championship were in 1983 and 3 draws in 1991 and 1 draw in 2007. I was talking about championship meetings not league games. Meath are first team to beat kerry and Dublin in championship in 18 years. It very rare achievement. Many teams have played kerry and Dublin in one year for 140 years. Outside leinster only Tyrone in 2005 and 2008 and Armagh in 2002 and Cork in 1989 have beaten Kerry and Dubs in same championship. In leinster only Meath in 2025 2001, Offaly in 1982 and kildare in 1927 and 1998 have beaten Dublin and kerry in same championship. Think of all the times Cork have played Dublin and kerry and all leinster champions that have played kerry and Dublin. Its happened very rarely, a team to beat Dublin and kerry. And Meath are first team ever to beat Kerry Galway Dublin. These are facts. JackieboyfromTara (Meath) - Posts: 11 - 14/07/2025 20:54:34 2625729 Link 0 |
