Have a bad feeling about this one, hopefully the young lads can step up and make a game of it, but if we get a hiding it could set them back a lot.

Best of luck lads, give it your all!

Meath are on the way back. Some very impressive natural footballers on display today. Kildare should stick to the hurling.

Many thanks Dingus, very sporting of you, and bad luck today. I am as astonished as I am delighted by the result. I predicted a hammering from Kildare today - 10 pt plus! Clearly the sending off of Flynn and the instantaneous reply to Kildare's goal through Peader Byrne were pivotal moments, but I would have expected Kildare to have been out of sight at the stage of the match anyway.

There was huge pressure on Kildare today and it was a game that they could only lose. Meath, given the League, and given the recent spate of defeats to Kildare, would have been driven by an incredible a hunger to win. But you have to be good enough to turn that hunger and the hurt of previous defeats to your advantage, and Meath certainly did that.

Kildare will pick themselves up, and Meath will see this game as potential turning point. I hope it is. After enjoying today, the next thing for Meath will be to ensure that they prove that this was not a flash on the pan. In order to do that they will need to put it to Dublin in the Leinster final. In particular they need to play well enough in that game for the result to be in doubt with ten minutes to go. If they can do that, then anything is possible in the Leinster final.

@juniordangerous, credit where it's due, the right substitutions at the right time, especially lenehan in the 1st half - there was a bad situation developing there (no disrespect to lenehan) and it was nipped in the bud.

That was a performance with a bit of the traditional spine about it!!

Poor old Kildare always the Bridesmaid never the bride. They need to introduce young players and the older ones should hang up their boots. Dublin needed to win the all-ireland last year but based on their first 15 mins of Wexford match it could be a Wexford meath final.

Meath1986, like I said, gutted, but very sporting of you to acknowledge my post. What can I say, well done; you did yourselves proud; we didn't.

Dingus (Kildare) - Posts: 271 - 01/07/2012 16:32:25    1206333

And no 1986, Darly Flynn being sent off didn't change the game really; obviously it was going to make it harder for us but when Mikey Conway scored that goal you replied with a brilliant goal of your own and in fairness bossed midfield and were better all over. What can I say, only well done.
