Meath have now matched their score in the 2019 Leinster final

Can they beat it

It would be a moral victory

In all seriousness, Dublin will easily win the next 4 or 5 All Ireland's.

By that time, everyone else won't even be taking county football in any way serious.

The Leinster championship has been dead for years. The AI will be the same.

And you know what? I'm delighted. Genuinely hope the Gaa are on their knees in 10 years financially wise.

Can you explain your thinking on that?

Because Im pissed off that they've destroyed football.

If you think tactics and a game plan are the difference here you're talking out your shitepipe. raw talent, conditioning and athleticism that is unmatched by any other team in the country.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Fair enough. You'll get your wish.

OK, but how have Mayo managed to so consistently compete with Dublin in that case?

In truth McEntee isn't a top coach or near it, he's Banty level

He's done alright in a limited way with Meath in that he got them into Division 1 but this tonight is the brutal, brutal truth

The teams are playing different sports

Meath should have nabbed Malachy O'Rourke last year when they had the chance

I wonder would they go for Mickey Harte

Maybe Jim Gavin fancies a challenge
harte has had a much better Tyrone team and not got near this Dublin team.

Is that what the football championship is being reduced to though? The hope that once every five years a team might give Dublin a run of it?

Dublin bet Mayo by ten points last year. If the two sides meet again this year, I would expect a similar margin of defeat.

Meath cannot bridge the gap with the Dubs under the current system.
The Leinster fuball  championship is pointless.

I don't think I'll bother watching the second half or next season for that matter. What's the f**king point. No one is going to get even close to Dublin, not Donegal or Mayo.

The only way Meath is close to Dublin is at the county boundary.

Things have changed a lot since 1991.

I've said it before but when will the penny drop?

Ten in a row? 15?

One of these years they'll be caught out on a bad day, but they're going to win at least four out of five All Ireland's for the foreseeable future.

Maybe by 2030 we'll be talking about a split.

I'd argue Harte has been holding Tyrone back. He's still relying on a defensive game plan that teams have figured out.

You let Dublin have the ball and they'll destroy you. Mayo and Kerry going at Dublin are the only ones to cause them problems
