rte balance?

[his holiness nb]

I think we can accept there will be no quality on show between Dublin and Meath - it'll probably be exciting but there will be very little quality and will probably finish 3-26 to 4 - 23.  As I said, neither teams will be about at the business end of the championship unless by default so from a media point of view it would make sense to concentrate on a game like Tyrone and Armagh.


how is it snobbery jinxy?

At least the game will be somewhat close Pints.
Judging on this year, Tyrone v Armagh will be very one sided.

Or are ye back in the "big three" now because Tyrone won the AI?? 

[Jinxy]

Dublin are a good distance a better team than Armagh.

Well obviously:

13 Apr 2008
Armagh 3-13 - 1-10 Dublin 

05 Apr 2008
Meath 3-07 - 1-06 Armagh

04 Aug 2007
Meath 1-13 - 2-08 Tyrone

But to give us both a good laugh...
Down 0-12 2-13 Wexford
Dublin 1-8 3-14 Tyrone

It was only a matter of time, but bejasus you're scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I said just after that game that we were very poor on the day (despite the performance against Donegal just previously), and that most teams would have taken us that day. I also said that Meath were a very mediocre outfit, as Cork duly proved in the next game.

You were comfortably beaten by a very young, inexperienced team at the quarter-final stage of the All Ireland championship in 2007. You were beaten by Down in the Ulster championship this year too don't forget. You were also blessed to scrape by a very average Mayo team. Lest you buy into the hype that all of a sudden you are the ultimate gaelic football team.

There's no higher than SAM for 2008, sin é é. Now, stop embarrassing yourself

Meath 1-13 - 2-08 Tyrone

Well precisely - you can get stats to prove or disprove everything. You could also say that Down beat Tyrone and were in turn beaten by Armagh, so therefore Armagh must be better than Tyrone... it could go on forever. But i can't see how Dublin are "a good distance better" than Armagh. What's the basis of this?

[Jinxy]

Well Dublin are better than us at the moment and we haven't had much trouble from Armagh recently.

[magpie seanie]

I think we should do away with the championship and have a selection of grudge matches decided by the Gaaboard CCC!

[Gaaman]

Jinxy.....You really are a twisted wee shite.  But I hope you's have your act together against Dublin.  Lets be honest, I you's cant beat Dublin you's are just pure dirt
