Dublin vs Meath - Leinster Final

[Jinxy]

Buddha is still carrying a bit of winter condition.
He's too 'nice' for the corner anyway.

[Jinxy]

We'd be in with a prayer though.

[Jinxy]

Anyone know where the Dubs have their pre-match meals?

[Shamrock Shore]

Jesus lads. Having Mohammad in at CHB may insult our Muslim contributors here.

Could there be a fatwah issued against some of ye?

I do agree that Buddha has 'wintered well' and needs some major conditioning work.

Is St. Jude not a Dub btw?

[AZOffaly]

Sure there's a few dubs lined out for Meath over the years. Look at Anthony Moyles.

Why? Is he more of a forward? Well the selectors and I are asking him to do a job for the good of the county.

Mick O'Dowd should read this,

interesting analysis from Tony McEntee on Dublin..

"Dublin are indeed impressive but like Donegal, Mayo, Cork and Kerry they have not really had any serious opposition yet."

That must be sickening to read, Dinny.

Spillane reckoned if Dublin win the AIF their style of play could become the template for other teams, I doubt it, in fact the opposite most teams would be reluctant to take them on in a straight shoot out, teams will set themselves up more defensively if anything.

Good article again and Tony McEntee is clearly a great thinker and strategist. Some of his observations are those made by someone who would have to be at the match to comment. It would be a real contrast in styles were Dublin to meet Donegal in the AI final and I would love to have been a fly inside the car of McGuinness and Rory Gallagher on the way home from Croke Park yesterday.

[Declan]

Good article alright and I thought his observation re the sweeper dropping back was excellent:
Interestingly this wasn't a fixed person but a result of what appears good communication on the field.

Always the sign of a well coached team when lads are given the responsibility to think for themselves.

It will be fascinating to see if O'Dowd does what McEntee did with the minors last year and set up just to restrict the scoring chances from Dublin and not really have any plan to try and win the game.

Royal lads last night were really looking forward to the final and a chance to puncture the Dubs bandwagon

[Jinxy]

It's the coach bringing them to the match we need to puncture.

[Declan]

We might have a spare though Jinxy

[Jinxy]

No doubt ye do, with all your millions!

Na Seafoid, one thing you'll have to admit is that the Kildare posters here are realists, the truth doesn't hurt nor should it. It wasn't an unexpected result.
