Replying To foreveryoung: "I will take Cavan a long time to recover from that defeat. It's not just losing. It's the way they lost-scoring 3-21 and losing. They'll be so despondent that even Kerry would beat them the next day out, if they draw Kerry. I'd prefer to see Kerry draw Derry. They don't like playing against teams from Ulster, or at least they don't fare well against teams from Ulster. Cavan, although from Ulster also, will be in a stupor for the rest of the year.
Fair play to Westmeath. They're a good side to watch---some fine footballers there who can kick. Onwards and upwards." They played Ulsters three best teams in the quarter/semi,and final last year, and won all three games easily .
Think before you post...

Replying To iarmhiabu: "I don't mean to put a damper on today, sitting here in Cusack and the colour and atmosphere around the town is just fantastic to see. The difference is Roscommon, a County of similar population and resources, have a group of people with the expertise, connections and persistence to drive a major development project like a Centre of Excellence. They don't necessarily happen because one County has more money than another, they usually happen because you have people who can navigate government funding schemes, dedicated fundraising structures and a coordinated team of volunteers willing to spend years on a single project. We do not have the right people steering the county / project at the right moment, leadership, capability, long term vision and timing are the real issues. Launching a €100 per ticket draw just days before a Leinster Final so we could just meet the costs of preparing a County team tells you all you need to know, a County reaching a provincial final should ideally have fundraising campaigns planned months in advance, with the final itself being an opportunity to maximise support rather than scramble for it. Winning the Leinster title has brought back people who have not been at a Westmeath match for years, it would be a good time to launch a properly run supporters club. Even €10 or €20 per month from a few thousand supporters would be significant, have monthly lottos etc. Approach businesses with sponsorship packages, there are loads of businesses who would like to be seen supporting the county. The key is turning this success and momentum into something permanent." Thankfully not even you with your incessant criticism could put a shadow on one of our greatest days. A credit to all aspects of Westmeath Gaa in terms of organisation but most importantly we have unearthed a team of heroes who display all that's good in terms of character, team work, resilience and skill and managed wonderfully by a team of clear thinkers on the sideline. What an occasion, what a win and what a team.

What's with opening the hill? It was closed for league finals? Is it just when dublin are playing it's opened automatically?

So Louth beat the Dubs for the first time in the Championship in 53 years. Fair play to them. Well done Louth.
Scoring 1-24 would win a lot of games but conceding 4 goals is criminal.
Only 16,610 turned up in Croker this afternoon.
Same hardcore fans on the Hill around me today.
But for how many more years…
Parnell Park is defo calling the DCB at this stage…!
Dublin have back-to-back championship defeats for the first time. And imo any team who loses 2 games in the Championship should be eliminated automatically anyway.
This season has panned out as many of us feared unfortunately. Hopefully it is a quick learning curve for all the newbies. If not….. :o(

Replying To yew_tree: "Mayo have a split personality. Excellent first half and a shambles of a second half. Win is a win though. Up Mayo !" Gave up at least 8 legitimate goals chances.
Any decent team would have beat them out of sight.

Well done Louth, a good response from the Leinster Championship. I thought that Niall McDonnell, James Maguire, Conor Grimes, Craig Lennon and Ciaran Byrne really stood out.

Replying To joeteor: "Are they games home and away after this round or neutral?" Home and away. First team drawn out has home advantage.

Monaghan lacking any kind of quality, a poor division 4 team would beat them.

What a performance in the second half. Who would have thought after the game 4 weeks ago that wee would go on to beat the Dubs. A huge performance from Niall. Conor grimes in the second half aswell as Sams work rate. The bench was immense. Delighted for Casey after a tough few years. Ryan Burnes two pointer at the start of the second half to settle the team was massive.James Maguires first championship score and some way to do it. Dara McDonnell kicked a great two pointer when it was needed.
A great opportunity now to push on to an all Ireland quarter final. The draw will be crucial on Tuesday. Hopefully wee can avoid Donegal and Armagh and get a home game. But wouldn't be writing us off against anyone bar maybe the two Ulster teams away.
