Leinster Senior football championship 2024

What a shift from the Louth men. Will give the qualifiers a serious rattle

[From the Bunker]

Was tight for 55 mins decent effort from Louth but the Dubs will likely win comfortably now.

The Dubs are hard to beat at home.

It's a big help to be playing at home no doubt about it.

Feel sorry for Louth as they have a lot of good players but they just can't compete against a professional setup for 70+ mins. Not many other teams can either.

Explain how the Dubs setup differs to other counties....? Leaving aside CP

GDO's in every club.
Jobs for the boys (that are often not really job

Look at the money Dublin county board get from the GAA. More than all the rest put together.

OK, but what are the Dublin senior players, management doing that's different to what Louth are doing, Donegal, Derry, Roscommon in preparing for Championship?

They are a 3 in a generation group of players. Time will pass and Dublin will fall back to the crowd.

It's a shame a majority of Dublin Supporters won't be able to say ''I was there when Dublin won 14 in a row Leinsters'' 

I doubt even most of them watched it on the TV.

Last years Leinster final  Dublin 5-21 Louth 0-15 and two championship meeting before that.

2019 Quarter final - Dublin 5-21 Louth 0-10



Handicap betting has Dublin to win by 15 points on Sunday.

Today 1-19 to 2-12 another title for Dublin but the credit goes to Louth on their improvement and much more competitive display today and probably proved themselves as the 2nd best in Leinster if wasn't already known by reaching back to back finals.

63 in total
So the competition used to be competitive

1884 or so to 2004 = 44 in c 120 years
Vs 19 in 20 = Fake

[From the Bunker]

I was at the Westmeath/Laois Leinster Final Replay in 2004. The GAA and the media lamented the attendance of 38,300. This could not happen again - Dublin had to be made stronger to put bums on seats in the new Croke Park.

The rest is a success story - for Dublin.

Ah to be the 90's again, where Dublin kept coming out the wrong side of Ulster Teams.

42 wins in a row
14 titles in a row.

"Thoroughly enjoyable win.
Time for the Meaths and Kildares to get up to Dublin's pitch" says John Casey

If a small county like Louth can run the Dubs as close then Meath and Kildare should be able to do the same.

[Rossfan]

Hasn't Louth a bigger population than Donegal, Kerry or Mayowestros?

Less the Kerry. Meath and Kildare (both play in Leinster) have a much bigger population than Louth. Mayowestros isn't a Free State county

What a shift from the Louth men. Will give the qualifiers a serious rattle

It's just Louths turn on the Leinster merry go round to try and try and burst a gut and still fail and then support wains and the team dies just like Meath, Kildare and Laois.

The pick of the other teams in Leinster wouldn't beat Dublin, that's the reality.

[Look-Up!]

Brilliant from the wee county yesterday. Very pleasant surprise watching it, expected the usual cake walk but Louth played some great football.

You say 'burst a gut' as if that's a bad thing!
