    40 wins in a row. My god. No wonder most ppl couldn’t give a flying fiddlers about Football anymore. Maybe just maybe, the Dubs might realise the Money, home advantage and population might be the reason to this. Or shall we just hope Wexford or Westmeath beat them next year?

    @John Paul Mullins: the government gave Dublin the money, they did say yes please, they can’t control the population, Derry Mayo and Kerry have small populations and can beat Dublin in the top games, the Dublin team and supporters would love to come out of Croke park, but both Leinster council and Croke park want them to play there, population agreement would have Dublin winning hurling and camoige and under age football championships all the time, just saying

    I was in the Hill when Dublin missed a peno to beat Meath in a Leinster semi final in 97. The place was packed. And the three games that Meath played against Kildare after that was packed too. Those days are gone. Today’s crowd was embarrassing. We need something new.

    @Ultán Corcoran: Think the referees take into account the fact he was fouled while heading towards goal. Always play advantage and balance out one foul with the technical foul. That way he doesn’t stop a goal chance or stop the flow. Just a theory

    Obviously the money and the resources dublin have puts them way ahead of most Leinster counties but the real story in Leinster is how bad meath and Kildare are, monaghan beat dublin in the league and with 5 minutes to go In the all ireland semi final last year were level, Derry beat dublin in the league final and have a genuine chance of winning the all ireland, neither of these counties have superior resources or tradition to meath or Kildare they have no reason bot be competitive

    Meath has a bigger population than Kerry, Tyrone, Down & Mayo – all counties that have been competitive in the last few years. Maybe some inward reflection required on why they cant put a good squad together

    No one outside leinster would watch it. Fair play to Colm for saying it as it is. Dublin doesn’t have a serious game until at least the all Ireland semi’s. Ulster is the only competing province now. Something needs to be done and fast

    The GAA is in a poor state ATM. The majority of games that took place today and last week are irrelevant, Dublin won’t be stopped in Leinster, Mayo/Galway won easy Connaught and Armagh won at a canter against Fermanagh.
    I’m a GAA man but also an avid sports fan and it’s hard to watch GAA when the Premier League is coming to an exciting climax and one of the 4 majors in golf is on all weekend.
    I turned Meath/Dublin on for 15 mins and went back to the Arsenal game as the outcome was always going to be one way.
    The GAA has done this to itself in my opinion not changing with the times and sticking with the same old same old championship structure that has run its course.
    Very sad to see
