Leinster football needs Meath.
I would say the all Ireland needs a competitive Meath.Well done on the win today I don't think they will win it this year but the age profile of team I would expect they will get one in the next 5 years.

Kerry defeated Armagh to book their place in the All Ireland semi final. They will be joined by Meath who defeated Galway in the match before that. They joined Donegal and Tyrone who made it through yesterday by beating Monaghan and Dublin respectively.

This has created a headache for the GAA as Meath and Donegal play in the same colours. Meath opted to play in their away top which is white with a green trim. Donegal will play in their home colours of green and yellow. In the second game Kerry and Tyrone will play in their own colours.

The last time Tyrone played Kerry in the All Ireland semi final, Tyrone won by maiming David Clifford before extra time. Clifford was left reeling by a punch to the face by Morgan and then Hampsey came in and kicked the Kerry man full on the thigh. This was the latest installment in heinious attacks by Tyrone men on Kerry forwards. Colm the Goochie Cooper lost the sight in one eye in 2005 when Ricy McMenamin tried to remove his eye during a heated exchange. In 1986, Jon Lynch tried to scalp Mikey Sheehy.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on June 29, 2025, 05:50:36 PMThey not the weakest team to win an All-Ireland, they won a bad final last year, but showed all the right stuff this year.The goalkeeping issue they need to focus on. Plus they changed their midfield past 2 game. The defence next yr need major surgery. Great going forward, poor at actual 1 on 1 defending.
Grimley/Crealey for me is the best midfield combination that we have both were off it today. This was an area expected Armagh to be on top especially with O'Connor out.

Why didn't Rafferty not kick it out there more instead of trying to hit Murnin when he had that meltdown.

At least if you lose it it's on the opposition 45.


To be fair Murnin is excellent in the air.

Not disputing that but he must have hit him 3 or 4 times when it wasn't working. Put massive pressure on him.

Kerry were missing their first choice midfield you'd think it was Armagh who were.

Kerry whilst exceptional in the second half were gifted alot of aspects of the game by armagh's naeivity which is something we haven't said about Armagh in a long long time.

O'Shea absolutely uncontested for 3 or 4 two pointers is unheard of. They must have been so caught up on the threat of Clifford in behind that they forgot about O'Shea.

Is there video evidence? Always thought Clifford was carrying an injury or cramp. Or maybe I've misread the tone.

Leinster football needs Meath.
The Leinster Championship will need Croker for most of its games next year!
Those involving Dublin, Meath, Louth and Kildare anyway
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

That's the clever thing. There was no video evidence. Tyrone knew all the camera black spots.

Galway, Armagh, Dublin and Derry really was the group of death - the 3 that made it out died at the 1/4 final stage.

Tyrone will be confident but they been turned over 2012,15,19,23, with only 2021 the change in a run where Kerry were big favourites. If they don't improve a 100% they could be in trouble. Tyrone strong at Midfield and even after the day it's a section Kerry not strong in.

Thank you to both of you.
For what it's worth I don't think we will win it either. This year was all  about building from the speech that we didn't have a David Clifford or con Callaghan. And bs about needing 5 more years to get us back to this level that Robbie , Shane and Connor has brought us to in a few months. The embarrassment of not qualifying for the all ire,
We are in bonus territory at this stage. However we are where we deserve to be . Who knows if we get run of green we might win it out  :-\ 
Again just to thank the players. I just watched the game on tv after we got home. What work rate what attitude. Someone said on here that the heat and humidity weather would get to us. My word we are the fittest team in country that can turn over ball and quickly up the field.

Headquarters will be rubbing their hands. The Vendors and Corporate boxes have taken a hit the last couple of years. Dublin can go back to saying they love playing outside Croke Park - with the full knowledge they won't have to play a fixture outside Croker.

Philly McMahon will tell everyone if they have no bread to eat Cake.

That Galway keeper had the ball out before the hooter. How come they couldn't play on?

Yeah didn't like how that game ended. Think there could be controversy, imagine that was the final

Wildweasel74

It's clear as day on the Sunday game, he tapped it to himself more than a few secs before the hooter.

DaleCooper

Anyone got any clarity on the last play in Galway Meath game?

The ball went wide before the hooter sounded, Galway keeper went to take kick out then ref blew.

Seemed iffy enough, Galway themselves to blame but surely one last play is in the interest of entertainment?

 What does the rulebook say?

What exactly do you think was clear as day?

Gleeson threw the ball out. Then the hooter sounded. As the ball was rolling he kicked it forward.

He most certainly did not "tap it to himself" seconds before the hooter sounded. Even if he'd kicked it before the hooter sounded, he kicked a moving ball from the incorrect location and it failed to make it beyond the 40m arc.
