All ,bar Kildare, Division 2 teams. None of them will be in the semi finals. Meath are slowly making their way back.

Balls.

Ulster teams and the likes of Roscommon don't yap about unfair advantages, they put the heads down and maximise what they have.

Monaghan and Roscommon were promoted. Meath had a chance of promotion but hammered by Monaghan and well beaten by Louth. A late fightback made the score closer then it was. They are far away as ever. The best forward out will miss the championship too. Jordan Morris.

Bad news. Just when  dared get optimistic about Meath things go sour again. Would be good to know why but it'll left to the rumour mill. With Morris out and now this we could be dumped out sooner than we think.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Wicklow made us look like gossuns in the recent League fixture. All we can do is play for pride on Sunday. We are in a bad place.

Winners are prob the losers, except at the gate. Get 3-5k Dubs in your gate the following Sunday will improves the coffers.

But there prob is a point where the Dub supporter says, fuk this. I cannot bodder me hole. We may have crossed that point.

Surprised that Meath have shot themselves in the foot. No so much with Carlow. Had heard about the rows in the camp. We need a hard decent Meath. Kildare - forget about it.

Great to see my adopted Offaly (my late dad played for them in NY in the 50s, despite having no Offaly blood) doing well. Power in the rosaries lads.

Sensible move.

QuoteLeinster GAA has decided to switch both provincial SFC semi-finals outside of Croke Park, meaning that it will be the first occasion since 1995 that both provincial last-four encounters will not be played at GAA headquarters.

The semi-final fixture are down for decision at the end of April, making it likely that two standalone fixtures will be arranged at different regional grounds.

Last year's Leinster semi-final doubleheader attracted just over 21,000 at Croke Park making it the lowest attendance for that stage of the competition for 14 years.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Why has it taken this long to shake it up a bit? The life was gone ages ago. Dublin hhave won 14 in a row. They will win it handy again this regardless.

Kildare haven't won the AI in nearly 100 years and still have twice as many as Armagh.

Dublin will win it pulling up. You could argue that the populations in the counties surrounding Dublin are mostly Dubs after buying 'affordable' housing.

Perhaps previous generations in Kildare were of more use. However, your comment understates the challenges of playing GAA in the 6 counties in the past.

Fairly embarrassing for Kildare given the population difference and the fact about half of what we do have wouldn't be too GAA inclined. And the fact we were abit busy with the Brits up here for most of the GAA's existence

If population is all that matters then Antrim are the GAAs greatest failures.

But it isn't and your just on the WUM.

Wicklow are more watery than Antrim. Antrim clubs have won all Irelands in the last 15 years. Antrim hurlers are decent. Wicklow have no presence in either hurling or football.

Hence why kildare and meath have improved at underage in last 10 years.
