A Royal view: Dublin beating Kerry would do you a favour…

It’ doesn’t matter how many All-Ireland’s you've won in the past ten years, they've been soft! To a lot of neutral football people you've been fake Champions, ask football people outside of Kerry and they know in their hearts that Galway, Armagh, and Tyrone have had sides every bit as good as and better than Kerry over the past ten years. People, who know they’re football, know that it is a painful fact for Kerry people.

Armagh and Tyrone’s victories over Kerry in finals demonstrated further that Kerry had only won their recent All-Ireland’s by default. The sooner the All-Ireland open draw comes the better, you won’t have anything easy then.

Winning a Leinster or Ulster title has been harder to win than the All-Ireland final opposition Kerry have played.
There's no Mayo around to lie down for Kerry this year and do you seriously think you can beat serious opposition from Dublin and Meath in the one year? It isn’t going to happen. I laugh when I hear excuses like 6 week lay off and no hard games, while Ulster and Leinster counties are slogging their guts out. What a joke.

It’s fair to say Monaghan lost that quarter final more than Kerry won it. Kerry used up all their luck for 2007 that day, you won't be lucky again.

I know for a fact you'd be better off losing to Dublin because the Meath forwards would humiliate you’re backs just like 2001 (Ole, ole). You met a Meath team in 2001 that played hard, direct football, and you’re team and supporters were scared of Meath, with good reason as it turned out. I'm sure that the victory for Meath in 2001 showed other counties in Ireland that Kerry were very beatable in Croke Park, Armagh and Tyrone have a lot to thank us for. I lost all respect for Kerry that day; you're not so tough when counties stand up to you. I think the Dubs will get at least 3 or 4 goals against the Kerry back line. I hope Dublin win big because then their heads will be swelled into outer space and perfectly set up for the Royal county to pounce.

Royal Meath to rule over Ireland in 2007!

Kerry Cork final.

Something about swallows and summers came to mind when I read that post .

[austinstacksabu]

If, if, if we're lucky enough to get to the All Ireland final, and play Meath, can somebody post that down to Pat O'Shea? There's enough motivation there to last three All Irelands.

It's a pity to see people from Meath so cocky - they won through the back door and a weakened Tyrone team because they refused to let themselves get carried away with what was going on. If that's the attitude in Meath now, they're setting themselves up for another 2001 like fall.

where did that little beauty come from,i wonder did it sping up from the soil with all those bulldozers beavering away along the new M3 motorway,did you ever notice when you go to dig out a new building you can sometimes disturb vast famlies of rats which go squailing around the place in severe states of extreme dementia.

That was the very day that I lost respect for Meath and meath football, its my first memory of the ole ole brigade and boy was it sweet to see Galway put ye back in ye're box. Come back on here in 2 weeks if we're both still involved.

joyce was sublime that day in croker

Royal Meath to rule over Ireland in 2007!

If i were from Meath and read that, wouldn't I be proud.........sorry not the right word...maybe more along the lines of embarrassed and disgusted!

But being from a county that has as many All-Irelands as we do, and are the current All-Ireland Champions, I think it's hilarious!

[jackiel]

As someone who lives in Meath and whose in-laws are heavily involved in Meath GAA scene I'm convinced that this post didn't come from any Meath supporter. There's an intrinsic hatred between Meath & Dublin - especially as many of our small villages have been overrun by Dubs with their jeeps, decks etc - thats why "The Popes Children" was filmed in Ashbourne & Navan. All genuine supporters only want to see good football regardless of who's playing.

[MrRasherstoyou]

Reads like a good wind-up from a Kerry fan to me, but I wouldnt put it past some Meath fans to come out with this. Their latest bitter begrudgery was to film themselves tearing down a Dublin flag from a pole outside Croker, must have been revenge for Dubs helping the economy in Meath

[kerry07]

Common the Rebels....the only team in Ireland able tro cope with a bit of rough.....I am going

to enjoy this one...

[kerry07]

I did enjoy it thoroughly... King of Tara Thanks for an insight into Leinster football... now crawl

back to the Division 2 and take your medicine..ole..ole..ole

[MrRasherstoyou]

An honest question, in light of the fact that I've been saying all summer I didnt think that Meath played all that well against Dublin (ie the standard wasnt what alot of people have been saying, and that includes people on here), would yis say that Munster is much stronger than Leinster at the moment?

[Deleted]

Depends on how you measure this.
Kerry and Cork are good and would beat pretty much everyone in leinster handy bar the Dubs but the rest of Munster is rubbish and would be worse than most teams in Leinster.

[Piggy]

its hard to say especially after cork hammering meath sunday.apart from dublin leinster have no other contenders for the all ireland for the past 4 or 5 years.would Limerick/tipp and clare be on the same level as the other counties in leinster is the question to be answered.
personally i think they would beat alot of teams in leinster but laois,kildare and maybe louth are abit ahead of them at the same time.
the likes of wexford,Wicklow,carlow,westmeath etc would be the same standard though
