Why didn’t he just fist it into Brogan’s chest though? It was fairly bizarre. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was trying to solo the ball.

I actually laughed when he gave that foot pass. It was fugly.

Impressive for 15 minutes.
Rubbish for the next half an hour.
Devastating for a minute.
Game over.

Glad they extended the halves to 46 minutes. Stick to the hurling mate.

Fucker. I had it fixed pretty quick.

Well he avoided any chance of an interception. Most people would have handpassed it I reckon. Looked strange but he timed it right and the outcome was good anyway.

I thought it was a fairly ridiculous thing to do. It gave the keeper time to come out and close Brogan down completely given he had to scoop down to gather the ball. The keeper jumped over Brogan’s effort though. Just weird all round.

Paul Flynn’s back on his 2011 form today.

[Bandage]

What a ridiculous game of football.

[Rocko]

What was O’Carroll doing standing in front of Cluxton for the goal? Get out and close the shot down you mong.

[Appendage]

One would think Meath would’ve went man for man on Clucko’s kick outs? FFS.

[Appendage]

Of the additional 2 minutes the ball was in play for what, 20 seconds?

[Rocko]

Mad ending - Giles looked like he wanted to hit that last free himself.

[cluaindiuic]

1-4 to 0-1 in the last 10 minutes
Garbage time pretty much. No way Dublin should have let Meath have even a sniff of a draw.

Going by the two games today Donegal would beat Dublin easily enough.

2 poor performances there. Messy (I wanted say sloppy but Jason has already used it twice today) passing and shooting.

Typically gracious by Cullen. Made hard work of it…

Gas listening to Davis and Spillane trying to up their game when faced with someone who actually knows something about the modern game in jason Ryan. They’re in awe of him because he’s talking in something other than cliches and generalisations.

Is that slurring cunt drunk making his speech?

Not really, it’s Kerry and it’s a qualifier against a rebuilding Tyrone and they won by 10 points. I’d say Tyrone are probably smugly smirking away to themselves, wait till we get a year or two jn us and ye lot can bring on All these marvelous underage players ye have…oh hold on, ye don’t have them.

Even reading the 2 Dara’s recently would give you into the Kerry psych right now, it’s all about hope more than expectation really. Mentally they have lost a yard on Dublin, Cork, Donegal, Kildare and Mayo who are all fitter and more dynamic than them. They need 3-4 serious game plans that will stretch Jack to his limits over the next 6-8 weeks to win an All-Ireland. I don’t expect he’ll be able to pull it off. Their main problem I believe is their backs and a flaky midfield. Tom O Sullivan is an unbelievable loss when you think of ut, his loss has a huge effect on Marc O Se who will be fighting fires everywhere. Cork and Dublin you know for certain will get enough ball into their forwards (good forwards ) to expose the backs. The counter attacking of Kildare and Donegal will make an aging half back line turn an awful lot, Mayo to a lesser extent will do the same. Sheehan at midfield is not a defensive midfielder and gets caught out alot by his marker, whoever his partner is won’t be up to it. I genuinely believe they could get a pasting soon. CP for once will be somewhere they don’t want ti be.

Since the final last year I have watched closely what the Kerry players and management have said, I have a feeling they don’t really believe in themselves like they used to.

Good man Kev!

Touting Kildare even still. Oh and Mayo too. It must be hard trying to follow things on the internet.

It will be between Dublin Kerry Cork and Donegal. With Dublin after today you will wonder if they have the hunger. They have the raw material.

Worried about an aging half backline: try Cork. ye wont want to face Kerry!!

I think you’re mistaking Jason Ryan with someone who actually has a clue. Two appearances on RTE in 4 days as he positions himself for a more attractive job after getting knocked out of the championship by Tipperary, Limerick and Roscommon in 3 of the last 4 years and taking three attempts before getting promoted from Division 3.

Yeah but he’s managing Wexford, a county that hasn’t won a provincial championship since the 1940s.

Exactly. He’s a nobody that doesn’t deserve the platform of being on RTE twice in 4 days.
