Lowest ever attendance at a Leinster final

Carlow and Louth could be close too, Louth have gone back a long way while Carlow showed some promise in the League. Still Louth should have enough.

No idea where you are getting this from. Louth won Div 4 along the way beating Carlow in Carlow by 13 points!  I seriously doubt it will be close, anything less than a 10 point defeat would be a sort of success for us sadly.

I still expect Louth to win but Carlow have had a good league by their low standards and Louth are nowhere near as good as they were 3 or 4 years ago. I just would not be surprised if Carlow ran them close.
Granted I haven't seen either team play recently with the last time I seen Louth in person was Kildare annihilating them in Croke Park 2 years ago in one of the most pathetic displays I can remember.

We'll bring a good crowd.

I'm not missing out like I did by not putting any money on Leicester City.

€50 on Longford it is.

It would be great if the dubs did a Chelsea or Man U this year

3-16 to 18pts win for Laois here in Portlaoise.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Marvellous attacking football on show in both games.

Yet more evidence that Leinster remains the most entertaining of all the provincial championships.

Hats off to the four teams in action tonight.

Eagerly anticipating the midlands showdown between the Biffos and Larries in Tullamore tomorrow.

Saw highlights on Rory's Stories, looked good.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Offaly 1-12 Longford 1-6

Superb scoring in 35 minutes of football. The Leinster Championship just keeps on giving.

No Sunday Game Live today?  Are they afraid that the lazy free-state bastards won't get off their fat euro-a-block builders arses to go to the game if it's shown on tv??

Says the buck wondering about TV coverage when his own county is playing..

Or the province where the teams have the least idea how to defend as a team

Jonny Magee's comments about the fact that Wicklow were able to score 18 points against Laois not boding well for Laois's chances against Dublin sound fairly ominous to me.

The upping in standard when the Antrim Fermanagh game came on was very noticeable compared to the Leinster matches, some hilarious scores in the games in Leinster. They seem to be playing some sort of hybrid tag defending, space everywhere, inside forwards winning balls about four feet in front of their markers, handy scores being clipped over by unmarked men.

In the Ulster game you had some great scores being kicked in the face of tigerish marked and confined spaces. Wee Pete has done a terrific job there and in terms of attitude and approach to the game they are an example to any other county. No fear, no respect, they go out and play the game the way they feel suits them best and they're getting good rewards in doing so.

Antrim were a bit disappointing, thought they would have given Fermanagh a better game of it with the players they have back this year and the decent league showing they had.

If gaelic football was art, the Leinster championship would be a painting by Salvador Dali.
The Ulster championship would be a CAD drawing.
