Official All Ireland Senior Football Championship 2010 Thread

Ger Canning is a better commentator on his own.

Watching with the sound down so I’ll have to take your word for it.

Outrageous from Joe. He’s a class act. Meath have big scoring forwards, they trouble some of the big teams yet.

I would consider them a big county, but not quite a big team at the moment.

Laois need to be more direct, Kingston will win ball and score or bring other guys in. Laois have an outstanding vorner back, the captain, can’t get his name.

Padraig McMahon, I think. Very good player.

Deserved to go. Thats dangerous, and plenty guys do it. Could be split with the blades if nothing else.

Keeper off for Meath in case guys aren’t watching it. Good sub keeper though for Meath.

A couple of very nice points from O’Rourke here. Sheridan has been top class this evening.

Ya, they are both excellent. Laois getting very ratty now.

Its amazing the way the more things change the more they stay the same.

A former neighbour of mine in Wexford town before his family inexplicably moved to Meath.

Does that come against him with the fact he’s up against an O’ Rourke.

Side note, Ward is looking fitter and faster this year.

And another note, that sliding tackle there by the Laois player for the 45 wasn’t a yellow was it?

Graham Canty was fucked over i tell ye.

Any take on the goals lads? Looked hugely questionable from my view and thought ref was incredibly poor. No arguments overall, Laois played very poor tactically and never threatened once the second goal went in. Feel for Paidi McMaHon, never lets the side down.

It’s good to see Sheridan coming into his own at inter county level. For a few years there it looked like it wouldn’t happen for him at all. A couple of lovely scores from him tonight.

RTE radio were reporting that both of them were borderline square balls

Second goal looked fine to me. Not so sure about the first one though.

first one looked stone cold for me, second one was messy. Referee looked clueless. Ryan starting that game was a disgrace, taken for 1-2 in ten mins. Begley was a loss and when Quigley and Kingston didn’t fire the game was up.

Honestly i’d have to look at them again, but square ball never crossed my mind. The first would have been stupid from Sheridan as it was 1-on-1, no need to be in there, he was all alone. 2nd no way, the ball was hopping around and sheridan came in on a break, the ball was actually broke out.

Meath were too big for them on the smaller field. But as you say, your 2 stars didn’t really motor, so it was always going to be tough.

Meath are a very very decent outfit IMO, and will go far this year.

the very point I made about them last week. tactically inept, and despite having a better team out on the field, if the tactics arent right it doenst matter who plays.

further than last year?

Ya, win the Leinster title, so thats one improvement. Depends on draw, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see them in the final.

Gman do you really believe Laois are better footballers than Meath?

You’re a better poster on your own
