Predict the 2012 Leinster SFC winners

[BennyCake]

Kildare could be close, but I can't see past Dublin.

[Ard-Rí]

I'll take a gamble on Contae na Mí.

[Croí na hÉireann]

I'll take a gamble on Contae na Mí.

You're mental. But not as mental as those who voted for Carlow, Longford or Offaly 

[heffo]

Kildare for me - Dublin have pocketfuls of Leinster medals and Kildare will want Leinster a lot more..

[Jinxy]

Gerrup!

[Ard-Rí]

Not really that mental. We nearly got relegated in the 2011 League campaign and played Kildare in the the Leinster Championship, and were leading at half time. Not only were we leading, we were playing the better football. Kildare as we know are many people's favourites for Leinster this year, but while they have beaten us repeatedly in the last year or two, look at the margin. Last year's Leinster, bet us by 6. Last year in the Qualifiers, bet us by 3. This year in the League, bet us by 1. And that was an injury time point.

Now, admittedly the wheels have come off a little bit in the last while, but Banty has not given up either. He knows the pressure is on to win something, and the only thing we're in with a shout for is Leinster. It is  a gamble, but it's not that unsound. As I see it, there are two possibilities for Meath; complete collapse, or to come out stronger than before.

The problem is, we're developing quite a taste for the first option.

I thought the collapse had happened already.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Can't see anyone stopping the Blue Wave. Discount their league form - simply a case of blowing out the dirty diesel after a winter on the porter. They'll have gained huge confidence from going all the way last year and are bound to improve again - even O'Gara looked like a footballer this spring. That's without even mentioning all the talented lads from their all conquering u21 team that they can now add to the mix.

Kildare have plateaued. We have no settled midfield pairing and the whole Cavanman will he/won't he farce is bound to have caused unrest in a once united camp. The county is broke after this vain pursuit for an All-Ireland and no sign on the Curragh horizon of an Arab Sheikh to give us a digout like the 90s. Glorious failure once again is the best we can hope for.

[laoislad]

Longford.

[AZOffaly]

Sure Offaly are going to bate Kildare.

[Dinny Breen]

Sure Offaly are going to bate Kildare.

and bate them well.

Wicklow will beat Meath FFS.

If anyone else was playing Dublin in the Leinster final I'd fancy them, Dublin don't like Kildare and have our number, Kildare will win nowt this year.

[Billys Boots]

I'll take a gamble on Contae na Mí.

Ah c'mon lads, will someone vote for poor oul WestLucan?

[Shamrock Shore]

For pig iron I voted Longford.

If we do win it I will march naked down O'Connell St at midday on 14 Aug 2012 waving a Westmeath flag.

I wouldn't know whether to sit at the top of O'Connell Street and wait for you, or sit at the bottom and see you set off, following you up the street wouldn't feel right.
