Kerry, Tyrone, Mayo and Derry would beat Meath or Monaghan!

Because they didn't need to. I was at the Leinster final, great occasion and an exciting game between two very average teams. In knockout they won't live with Kerry, Dublin, Armagh, Galway...

[Armagh18]

I wouldn't like to be calling any of these games with any certainty- Mayo couldn't beat Cavan who were tanked by Tyrone and Donegal, they but beat Tyrone, who then beat Donegal. Kerry tanked Roscommon, Meath drew with them but beat Kerry well.

I think there'll be one shock this weekend, although where I don't know.

Haha. Yeah think you need to go to specsavers. Meath would easily beat Kerry again. And Dublin too. Actually I don't see one team in last 12 who Meath would be worried about.
We won't win it for the reason that we are too inexperienced. But easily the toughest team left in it

I think Meath would give us a game, but full out they couldn't live with Rian, Ross and Conaty plus Soupy and co off the bench. Think they have the players to hurt us but we've enough dog about us to beat them.

Derry fan gotta explain how Tyrone fans are deluded. I've heard no-one here suggest Tyrone will win the All Ireland this year. Is likely a quarter-final or semi-final exit but def is improving... we'll see.
In a good place though: have won three of the last four U20 All Irelands, minors are in the All Ireland semi-final this weekend and senior All Ireland winners just 4 years ago.
What Derry wouldn't give for that record after the hype of winning league title last year and collapse since not even reaching preliminary quarter-final this year..
so Derry fan, how are Tyrone fans deluded? 😊 🤷

I think Derry and Tyrone underage teams are closer than the recent record suggests. We were the better side v Tyrone u20s last year in Ulster final but got beat on pens. A couple of years ago McEvoy and Lachlan Murray werent allowed to played by RG.

As for the senior team, Tyrone have outperformed us this year. They had an early preseason and hit the ground running (but still got relegated). I still think our best team beats Tyrone's as they have done in most games in the past few years.

Unfortunately when they engrave the name on the cup there isn't enough room to add those details. Can I add, outside of Dublin and Kerry, Tyrone have won the most Sam Maguires in the last 30 years...

That would be my view. As in Duke, kinsella , morris , Costello and frayne they need a little bit of time. They are probably the best players we have had since 01, I could see any of them rival anything that there was under Boylan. However we have weaknesses elsewhere, particularly with our 3 first choice midfielders missing and depending on a mid 30 veteran. Missing 4/5 certain starters including number 2/3 top scorers this year, it's a huge ask. However I don't see one team bothering us that much. I think inexperience and above all a lack of cuteness will be our downfall.
 But a hefty wager on 26 Leinster and all Ireland success might be the best investment anyone could make

"I could see any of them rival anything that there was under Boylan."

That is hyperbole. Boylan's teams won multiple all Irelands. The current team hasn't won anything. It is only a few weeks since the Leinster final. I can't remember who won that.

it was also a lost Leinster final by 10 points against Dublin in 95. Now without google tell me who won the Leinster and all ire the following year. ? 

[seafoid]

Meath won Leinster in 2010. Tell me what happened the next year . What would be a good result for Meath this year? A quarter final or a semi final?

2010 was a weird year. Didn't really capitalise on it. Got rid of the manager for banty then got in a worse fella. A lost generation of players.
This year ? Well we already in quarters beat both Dublin and Kerry but some critical players lost to injuries has I think hampered us. Particularly the Leinster final. Even now missing 5 certain starters is a problem. So in that instance it's already been a successful year. There's no doubt we are back. We have a fantastic management team who are all proven winners. I think they will give us one more big day out and get to semi finals and in doing so ensure that Donal keoghan gets his well deserved and long overdue all star . And perhaps kinsella getting ypoty. But there is talk that to ensure donals overdose all star they have to reach semis and I believe they will do that.
