Leinster Senior Football Championship 2025

[Armagh18]

Is the Dublin decline due to Dessie Farrell or lack of quality players coming in to replace the all conquering ones?

He was a poor manager at underage.
I wonder how could anyone perform listening to his moaning droning monotone in the dressing room!

Jim Gavin is shocking hard to listen to as well and he done alright.

Not so sure about poor,  At underage he was Dublin manager when they won the Minor 2012 and U21 2014,2017 All Ireland titles.   The former is what I'd reckon to answer Rosfan.

Reports are now that 50k tickets sold. Plus corporate around 8k. All lower sections sold out. Hill almost sold out nally still not on sale  not sure. Upper cusack over half sold. Still lots of tickets for upper hogan and upper davin could easily top 60k by Sunday and maybe get close to 67+ of 2017. Either way it will be a great atmosphere and proves what a different pairing can do to the provincial games

[Dunneroyal]

One more sleep

[AustinPowers]

Hope Louth win tomorrow  , preferably with a last minute Try.

Up Louth.

[larryin89]

I really hope the wee county win this today. 

[Blowitupref]

Great to see such a big crowd full of noise and colour in a Leinster final again

[trileacman]

Hope this huge crowd today and yesterday serves as a clear rebuke to the argument that the provincials are dead.

If the GAA would help give a leg up to the smaller counties and stop pandering to the 8 big teams then the football scene would be lot healthier.

[AustinPowers]

Forward mark, didn't take it. Then kicks a wide

But gets another  go at it

What a stupid rule 

[From the Bunker]

Both sets of fans enjoying the occasion. Both realise this could be their one chance of a Leinster crown for a long time.

[Blowitupref]

Cagey and nervy affair in the opening 15 minutes.  Meath 0-3 Louth 0-2

Penalty for Louth and scored level game on 20 mins.

[trileacman]

Clear penalty. What planet is Dessie Dolan on?
