Congrats to Kildare

I'm sure you boys are delighted with the bragging rights ONCE AGAIN over Meath

It's some run you boys are on... I'm jealous.

I'd say Meath are sick...

brilliant game , two very good teams who should probably be in division 1 , think kildare will go very close to winning the all ireland this season , 18 points away from home is some tally needless to say

Meath or Kildare in Div 1?

Wy would they deserve to be in something that they are not good enough to qualify for... Meath were blessed not to be in Div 3 this year!

And Kildare had a poor Div 2 last year...

Childish post.

If you have nothing constructive to say its usually best to say nothing - a 1 point defeat is not a humiliation - both teams deserve respect!

Kildare deserve respect after their fine away win in Navan alright...

Kildare showed good character to reply to the Meath goals. Meath showed improved character too which was good to see. In the past, we might have accepted it wasn't to be our night but in fairness, we stuck at it, and kept creating chances right up until the end. Shane McAnarney had a brilliant chance to win it but hit the post.

From a Meath point of view, our midfield was found out again. Plus all the wing-backs and wing-forwards could have done better. Seamus Kenny in particular I thought had a poor night.

Kildare are a good side and I can only see them improving as the season progresses. They have strong options in all positions, and 18 points is a big total for a team who are supposedly bad score-takers.

On the balance of it, Kildare might have edged it in terms of effort. The goals came at crucial times for us, and we should have tagged on some points to kill the Kildare threat.

One of the best league matches in a long long time from a Kildare point of view. There was no humiliation for Meath. Far from it. They really put us to the sword and Kildare can be delighted about how they responded to the monumental courage and desire Meath showed . For me both teams showed tremendous character and have a lot of positives to take from the game. Two very evenly matched teams playing with a winner takes all attitude. Great stuff.

i see 'meaths better natural forwards' tried to con the referee into giving them frees and a penalty late on in the game.

A humiliation? In my opinion is an 11 point defeat in your backyard, like say 5-9 to 0-13?
A 1 point defeat in march is not.
Ref made some questionable calls but fair play to Kildare 18 points is a fantastic score.

I'd say poor old royaldunne is heaving into an oxegen mask at this stage...only joking!! Great game from two very evenly matched teams so fair play for serving up a great game.

Have to say I was shouting for Meath on this one simply cos we know how hard it is to get a monkey off our backs and it's not nice. Still lots for Meath to be excited about. Some very pacey players. They actually made Kildare look sluggish at times. And for Kildare, 18 points is a great score tally in any game! Leinster is gonna be exciting this year I can feel it in me waters!!!

First off very well done to Kildare, I thought it was an excellent game last night and I have nothing but respect for them after the way they dug deep and finished us off in the end although if I'm honest I thought neither team really deserved to lose last night. Also I just want to say I'm a little bit disappointed that such a good, tight, tense game has been reduced to a thread with this title but what can you do. Finally I'm generally the last person to take positives out of defeats because I think most of the time it's just clutching at straws but I wouldn't be too down beat about last night, we performed pretty well and never dropped the heads so I hope we can continue with the good attitude.
