If Meath can't 'get at' them...then what hope have the rest of us?

the rest will be hoping Dublin are peaking themselves and might get caught on the hop against a blanket defence. Dublin's All Ireland to lose.

Like a training game for Dublin. The level of opposition to Dublin is average at best.

26 min  Kildare 1-6  Dublin 3-9

That's about 0.75 scores per minute!

Or a score every 82 seconds!

0-6 to 0-7 in the remaining 34 minutes did Dublin ease off or did Kildare improve.

Last years final the man was at about 65% with his shoulder injury. He will be better than the two mentioned in time , i predict he will be poty this year and Mayo wil win Sam Maguire.

a young lad like him getting so many injuries should be a cause for concern. How fit was Brogan in last years final? He hasn't started many games for Dublin since. Mayo will have to improve if they want to reach another All Ireland final as their form in games against Roscommon one point win and almost conceding 3-20 to Galway is not the form you were in last year.

Some scoring. More top Dublin forwards on the way?

Is it really that far fetched to make such a suggestion ? Gooch is not around, Cillian is certainly up there with the best of them including the likes of brogan and o Donoghue.

Mayo would have won one of the last two All Ireland finals if he was at the level of those three forwards did O Connor even score from play in those finals?

Revenge gained and to score 1-17 away against a side on the rise takes some doing. One win away from the quarter finals for Armagh now and not many would have predicted that after the disappointment of relegation. McGeeneys good record in the qualifiers continues.

Haven't read back maybe the answer is on this thread. What year did Donegal last defeat monaghan in a championship game?

1983

Donegal due a win then.

I hope I'm wrong but think this might be one game too far for Armagh. Four weeks on the bounce away from home against an in form Roscommon side on the way up. The form guide says Roscommon but I just hope there is one more big performance in this Armagh side. The winners of this game have a great chance of playing in Croke Park on AI quarter final weekend, the best weekend in the football calendar. I'm informed Dyas is out injured unfortunately and he has been our best player over the last 2 seasons. Roscommon will fancy themselves but if it comes down to a grinding match we have a 50/50 chance. If that's what it takes to win so be it. One positive is Mc Geeneys record in qualifier matches both withArmagh and Kildare. Played 20, won 18, drawn 1 and lost just one. That's why I'm confident that if it comes down to a dogfight we will win. We have to make it a dogfight.

Armagh looked in peak condition last weekend and any win against Tyrone is serious momentum to have. Going by the Roscommon v Mayo game this should be another dogfight. McGeeneys record and seeking revenge are two things that should swing it for Armagh.

All gigs off latest Garth Brooks statement.

Playing at home Roscommon wouldn t want to go losing this now. That d be a step backwards and a bad blow.

after beating Tyrone in omagh it would also be a step back if Armagh lose this game.

Revenge on the menu for Armagh. Meath for the winner in the next round as kildare who should beat Clare can't face them again or maybe Meath can pull off the shock of the summer.

No idea how Messi got that. 3-4 players ahead of him.

Messi gets the golden ball. wtf?

He wasn't even Argentina's best player Mascherano was.

Well done to the Germans. Messi unable to step out of the world cup shadow of Diego Maradona.
