Kerry V Meath AI SF Semifinal 30th August 2009

comethekingdom · August 09, 2009, 03:31:13 PM

Well folks, Mayo were favourites to be there. Instead we have got Meath. I hope we dont lie down like 2001. Heres hoping we can extract some revenge for that dark day in 2001!

Lets hope both teams ware green and gold again

Mike Sheehy · August 09, 2009, 04:05:03 PM

Meath complacency will probably be a factor in our favour. I think they will expect to hammer us again like 2001. Hopefully, our lads will show and give them a decent game.
We were hammered by Cork and both Sligo and Longford should have beaten us. The Dublin game tells us nothing so overall you'd have to be worried.

So over all I'm quietly pessimistic but, still ,its great to make the semi-final and hopefully everybody will have a great day out.

Good one . You surely must in the running for cute hoor of the year now!

Meath are an unstoppable force right now.

Very true Mike. In '01 we were hammered by 15 pts. Keeping it to single digits this time will be an improvement.

Mike Sheehy · August 09, 2009, 04:25:58 PM

Absolutely. Meath are very difficult to stop once they get a head of steam up. You'd have to be worried about guys like Sheridan running amok. Bray will be back for this as well won't he ? Also, I'm not convinced by Griffin at full-back the Mike McCarthy will be targetted as well, what with him not playing inter-county for 3 years. An AI semi will be a huge step up for him.

single digits is probably the best we can hope for I suppose.

ah yeah .. should be a walk in the park for meath.

Darragh gets his chance to beat one of two counties he has played against and not defeated in championship.

Aye, though it was a weakened Tyrone team and to listen to yourselves you'd swear that you'd no chance at all on the 30th. You've something better than that

Sure what do the bookies know - hadn't they the Dubs odds on last Monday.
