Is anyone really surprised with the results today? Granted the amount Carlow won by was a surprise but as we seen in the league Kildare aren't up to much. You would have to ask what is going on there? They've won Leinster titles at minor. U21 and Junior in the last 5 years so the players must be there.
The Longford result isn't a surprise at all imo. As poor as Kildare are Meath are on a different level and not in good way

11786 attended Dublin v Wicklow. That crowd hardly justified moving the game out of Aughrim!

Roscommon and one from Laois and Carlow will be in the final round of the qualifiers. Mayo or Tyrone would fancy their chances surely against any of those if they get that far. Round 1 qualifier draw is on tonight i think.

You would want to be a complete die-hard or a close relative of someone on the panel to travel from Dublin for that today. The GAA need to take a look in the mirror, it was always going to be a beating for Wicklow but moving it out of Aughrim turned it into a massacre. Leinster is a basket case.

Id say there was easily 16,000 at it. (Someone pocketing a few bob)There is a hardcore of Dublin fans who will travel no matter who we play. Id say 13,000 to 14,000 travelled today for a game we knew would be nothing more than a training session. Personally id have rathered this game was in Aughrim ,Wicklow earned that right . The GAA really has to look at this. Carlow and Longford winning today are great GAA stories. But Meath and Kildare really need to stop blaming Dublin for all their woes and look at themselves.

Ye should give them back the all ireland that ye owe them for being denied home advantage today. As a sort of reparation. Call it the treaty of Aughrim!

How was that not considered a colour clash in Portlaoise today? Two teams in blue? Bizarre!

Cork will be entitled to have their tails up playing in their new pad against Kerry rebuilding, assuming Clare are beaten first. Cork, with a win behind them and playing at home, are an entirely different proposition to Tipp in Killarney. Potentially, that's two tough enough games for Kerry in Munster this year. This should do us no harm at all for down the road. Just saw the highlights there and was talking to a Cork man that was at the game yesterday. I think we will get enough of it to be honest. On their day a midfield of Walsh and Maguire will more than hold their own against anything we can put out. Plenty of running there. Based on our defensive perfomrances the last few years our defensive will have their hands full with whatever combination Cork put out with the likes of colm O'Neill, Cronin, Connolly, kerrigan and Hurley.

Aside from the fact that a lot of Dubs who moved out to Neath and Kildare the two counties have booming populations and should be achieving a hell of a lot more.
Clearly there is something seriously wrong here. A much touted Kildare minor team were sent packing by Kerry last year if I remember correctly. Other than that neither county is doing anything at youth level. Dublin don't seem too bothered about minor level and are dominant at u21. There seems to be little or nothing coming through to warrant optimism. How can Meath especially still be so far off. They have had decent club sides and have more recent success. Perhaps the Cty board need to take a good look at themselves. I saw there that even up to two or three weeks before the April club break that there were no fixtures decided yet. That looks like serious disorganisation.
As for Kildare they look like a hopeless case. I have contacts up there who have nearly given up on the county team ever producing. They expect no improvement either.
Blaming the Dubs is only a smokescreen for their own ineptitude.

While that is true in regards to the two counties being badly managed.the rampant success of dublin is definitely a major factor there is a whole generation of people in both counties that dont know what its like to be competitive in leinster.success breeds success, failure breeds apathy and from working with many people from both counties apathy is the overriding feeling very hard to see a way back. Great to see carlow/longford getting there day in the sun but it must worry the suits that so many of the formally big guns in football are so stagnated at the moment. Meath, kildare,derry,down,armagh are all at very low ebbs for an extended period with little hope of improvement sad to see.

They must have some sort of players who a good. Lads from 2013 should be between 23 and 26 at this stage. Where are these fellas?

This should do us no harm at all for down the road. Was talking to a Tipp colleague at work. He said Cork are better drilled and slicker than in previous years but also said Tipp didnt perform and two players, Sweeney and OBrien were injured and shouldnt have played. He said the end of the hurling game was one of the most entralling and nerve wracking he even attended.

That Cian O Neill is a bit of a spoofer - you would only have to ready Tomas article and read between the lines - that is what he is alluding to - sometimes coaches should just stick to what they know - coaching - they don't always make good managers as Cian O neill is finding out the hard way

For starters the players that went to Australia came back inferior players which seems to be the trend. 2-3 years away from developing their own game seems to be very detrimental at that stage of a players development.

Not enough credit being given to Carlow. Monaghan struggled to beat them last year if i recall correctly. The dubs didnt steamroll them either.
