Well done Westmeath.

Not sure if it was fitness or moreso momentum for Westmeath. A team with momentum in sport is very very difficult to stop and Westmeath had that in buckets ad the 2nd half wore on.

That said just as the game entered injury time and down by a pt, Meath had a great chance to level it. Think it was no. 7 only 25 yards out almost straight in front of the posts and instead he hand passed it out to a teammate in a worse position. Then Meath turned it over & in 30 seconds Westmeath had a 4 pt lead.
From being down by 10, that was some comeback.

Cant believe Meath were 1/9 to beat Westmeath. You couldnt have one banana to two bananas with the bookies.

Anyway the handicap for the Dublin game is 11. Will the Dubs beat it ?

So this years standings are what count... In other words down the 9th best (table toppers of division 2 and who only lost to Derry be a point and should have won) got beaten soundly by the team ranked 24th (bottom of division 3) ??

Bruschi whole heartily agree add in the fact we had no Kehoe lost panther to an early black card was Graham's first game back in months the juniors winning Leinster Thursday (of which I believe three are ready made for senior now) thins are starting to look nicely once more and I honestly believe power could be the best thing to happen us in many years

Im not taking away from yere win at all at all and congratulations and I'm a fan of power

My point is merely down are a division one team this year just cause they won a division two i don't agree
What division one opponents have they beaten
Next year they will be

A huge huge win and he's building a good young side but to say ye beat a division one team imo is not correct in as it stands down are a division two team

To beat a huge traditional team where football is the holy grail and the fact yere a dual county is imo a phenomenon achievement and deserve huge credit

But down are not a division one team this year

What an excellent rob from Johnny Cooper! Should be shown to every you defender.

Boom__Boom · 28-06-2015 04:10PM

Kildare getting destroyed on both sides of the kickout game

Could you argue he was he holding an arm perhaps?, but if you give him the benefit of the doubt it was very composed and strong defending to be sure.

Kildare aren't helping themselves here.....

28-06-2015 04:16PM

No upset here guys. Poor old Westmeath are probably beginning to grasp the sobering realities of being the next lambs to the slaughter. Kildare are chasing shadows. Like playing professionals

BoJack Horseman · 28-06-2015 04:20PM

The Dublin-Kildare game is as good as over.

15 mins gone & a 9 point advantage to Dublin.

MattB11 · 28-06-2015 04:22PM

Dubs Kildare turned off already yawnn

Say Your Number · 28-06-2015 04:23PM

Big contrast in atmosphere in these two games, can Kildare keep it under 20 points.

Now you know how the Dublin hurlers feel....

DDC1990 · 28-06-2015 04:26PM

It's going to be a big win here and the forwards will get the plaudits, but Philly McMahon and Johnny Cooper have been immense, especially Cooper.

marco_polo · 28-06-2015 04:30PM

Traditional litany of simply wides from Kildare at least the would be somewhat in touch if they had taken a few of them. Always so frustrating to watch.

jimmytwotimes 2013 · 28-06-2015 04:34PM

The top 7/8 teams are miles ahead of the second tier teams. Two or three tier championships needed.

Say Your Number · 28-06-2015 04:40PM

Smooth stuff by Barry Gary White to make that Kildare point

BoJack Horseman · 28-06-2015 04:43PM

13pt margin at half time.

The money imbalance in Leinster really shows, its becoming ridiculous.

tayto lover · 28-06-2015 04:43PM

Kildare are woeful. This could be 20 points plus.

Wouldnt consider Dublin to have a bad hurling team to be honest. Certainly not a team to be underestimated but playing well below their capablilities at the moment. Cunningham is probably too radical a change from Dalys style. Personally i think they should have went for Donal O'Grady at the time who is one of the top two coaches in Ireland just under the great man from Kilkenny

No such fear for the footballers though. The opening titles of the Sunday game had a Kildare girl bawling her eyes out after the game in 2011 where Kildare last ran Dublin close. She may have knew something that we didnt at the time :pac:

Kildare have been woeful since Johnny Doyle retired.

LeinsterDub · 28-06-2015 04:53PM

Would a best of the rest in leinster team beat Dublin at this stage?

Definitely be smoother if Barry was playing.

In all honesty though would it kill teams to actually make it more difficult for Cluxton to be able to take the short kick outs time and again? Actually make him go long for a change? The financial thing is a factor long term but Kerry, Donegal and Mayo dont have the same finances as Dublin and you wont see them feeling sorry for themselves.

No.I'd say that would be a comfortable win for Dublin as well.

Dublin are just an unbelievably good team and 90% of teams would get a hiding from them.Even Monaghan who are probably the 5th or 6th best team in the country now were destroyed by Dublin last year and in my honest opinion I think Dublin would have destroyed Kerry in the all ireland last year if Donegal hadn't beaten them.

The other 11 counties in Leinster still wouldn't have as big a population or the money to compete with the "Blue Juggernaut/Tsunami".

Have a bit of perspective.

Terrific footballer. Did they ever catch the scrote responsible for that horrific knife attack Cooper was subject to?

ciarriaithuaidh · 28-06-2015 05:01PM

Gary White elbowed Flynn in the face 3 or 4 times there..no wonder Flynn reacted.

Ah sure the leinster final will be a day out for the westmeath supporters
