2016 Leinster Football Championship

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Hard to know whether that was worse than the Dublin and Kerry hammerings last year. Westmeath had the little bit of quality from Sharry, Heslin and Martin that Kildare don't have but the lack of balls from Kildare was the main thing to take from the game.

Football is dying a quick death in the county and it is no wonder that no young players have any desire to play for the county when you have tepid displays like that in a terrible atmosphere. When I was a young lad growing up footballers were seen as gladiators, youngsters today can only see them as idiots who waste half their year training to get humiliated every summer.

Contrast this tepid shite to a Connacht or even Ulster semi-final. Dublin won't have much trouble winning the next ten Leinster titles.

They won't even win the next 5. Look at Mayo

Fair play to Westmeath
Kildare join Derry Down and Armagh in the home for the bewildere

Dublin will go even further ahead by staying where they are because the rest are going backwards. Dublin are more stable than likes of Mayo who have too many dysfunctional and self-destruct buttons that they cant help pressing.

Man Utd couldn't do it . Chelsea can't do it.
Every super team dies.

[Owenmoresider]

Any one else have the sneeking suspicion that Kildare don't want to win this? A mauling by the Dubs in the final, isn't exactly a great prize awaiting the winner.

If that's the case they must have been trying to throw the Wexford game as well, as they were putrid in that too.

I have counted three "very much so" and two " it must be said"
We could have a record today

[inexile]

Meath off to a good start 03 to 01

[clarshack]

dublin pretty flat in 1st half yet still score 0-11.

[thejuice]

That's alright so far but we haven't the danger up front to really claw it back. Backline not looking solid enough. Mickey Burke probably lucky to be still on the field, Graham Reilly lucky too. Wallace needs to think before he shoots.

[Beffs]

Is Burke the lad who stuck his hand in Eoghan O'Gara's gob & then tried to spin it that he was bitten?

[skeog]

the dark arts alive and well still in meath dirty act on connolly

[thejuice]

Same lad.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Real manly stuff from Colm O'Rourke's lads.

[thejuice]

You mean brolly and O'Sé

[thejuice]

Great workrate and tackling by our lads but final touches and decisions are letting us down

[Donnellys Hollow]

Back to our beloved qualifiers. Happy days.

MDMA and Mickey Burke the battle of the bicep!!!
