Disgrace that this evening’s game isn’t in Mullingar.

Think Westmeath will provide a decent test for Dublin but class will out.

Dubs by 6+

Agreed. It’s tough on Westmeath facing the Dubs at this stage of the Leinster Championship, I reckon they would have had a great chance of making the final if they had avoided them. I suppose they could still upset the odds today, but like yourself, I expect the Dubs will come through.

Predilections:

Kildare 3-17 Offaly 0-9
Dublin 3-21 Westmeath 0-9
Derry 2-13 Down 1-13
Clare 1-19 Waterford 2-17
Kerry 6-23 Waterford 0-6

Kildare 1-21 Offaly 0-11
Dublin 2-16 Westmeath 1-13
Derry 1-15 Down 0-16
Clare 1-20 Waterford 2-14
Kerry 3-20 Waterford 0-08

Offaly sticking with Kildare.

I’d say westmeath will put up a decent performance but still expect the Dubs to be 6/7 points better.
Derry will beat down.
Clare will beat Waterford (but I’ll be shouting on the Deise)
Kerry will beat Waterford

I think we’ll beat the bejaysus out of Westmeath. I know they got promoted but I think Westmeath seriously rode their luck and they lost the last 2 games to Derry too (regular round + final). Dublin were operating at a different level and there looks to be serious competition for places under the new manager.

Signing in for TV coverage of Dublin v Westmeath.

:o

Kildare beat Offaly by 4 in the end.

O Hara wearing a leitrim watch how’s that for hawkeye

Ridiculous decision not to award a free kick to Westmeath in front of the posts.

“It’s not a square shoulder challenge.” - Kevin McStay.

Mannion looks fairly sharp so far. Always like seeing a forward going for goal from those chances rather than fisting it over the bar. Heslin seems like a bit of an eejit.

Jesus Westmeath are killing themselves with brutal slow play at the back.

Kev will be delighted when he sees the long kick passing into the forwards by Dublin so far.

W/meath cant kick for shite

This looks like it’s going to be a total rout.

Its hard to know if Dublin are really this good or Westmeath are just shite.

This is incredibly boring.

Well I think it’s hard to know the first bit. Westmeath are definitely shite.
