Well done to Meath.  Survived the storm.

Well done to Meath. The beast has been taken down. At long last. And the Leinster final is a rerun of the 2010 final, the last time the Dubs lost in Leinster, between Meath and Louth.

It always been said
that Croke Park a serious advantage to Dublin. Would Meath won that in Croke Park, probably not.

It must be embarrassing for Monaghan supporters that they haven't won more Ulster titles despite the Clones advantage.

Untold damage done by the GAA for years giving Dublin a Procession of home games. They basically did not give a flying f€€€ about any other counties, because the coffers were filling up.

Thank god I've moved away from the inter county game.

Methinks the county boards of most other leinster counties did not protest too much as they were looking at the revenue stream.
It is wonderful to see these games at provincial venues, with a real atmosphere.

How many did the dubs play in Parnell Park?

Likes of Laois, Kildare and Westmeath were spending big money on management teams.

Well done to Meath, great to see what it meant to so many young and old supporters on the field celebrating afterwards, lets not forget such on field celebrations are barred in Croke Park. Dublin's first defeat in Leinster for 5,418 days and looking at how things are going for them at U20 level they have a big period of transition now with not great underage teams to call on like before.


Bord na Mona man

Well done Meath. I wouldn't have expected this from them at half time in Navan two weeks ago when Offaly were 10 ahead.

Taking Dublin out of Croke Park is the smaller factor. It's the new rules have thrown a cat among the pigeons.
Dublin being the best resourced county team, have been well ahead of the rest in implementing systems to dominate under the old system. The big reset has removed this, but there's a good chance Dublin will pull ahead again in the coming years once they suss out the best ways to win.

Write boys

Maybe a Tyrone man reffing again 15 years later 🤔

Just as I predicted.

Have you though. Liverpool have won the league yet you break away from the celebrations. #Triggered  :o
