No reason at all why Meath won't win it. Beaten 3 of 4 start of championship favourites.

Would love to see it.

Too right you're there on merit. Donegal will be favourites but taking nothing for granted."
Kerry still in the tournament though, so no point dining out on beating them, until you actually ko them.

Yeh many of us had completely written off Meath.
It's plain to see they're in the semis on merit. A team with a very bright future,
And maybe, even the present.
Donegal too driven to get caught out? We'll see soon enough.
Kerry v Tyrone will be good. Head games galore!

No one is writing Meath off. Your in the semi final on merit and if this weekend is anything to go by no match can or will be taken for granted. See you in 2 weeks.

Yes that would be great, But i would go 1 step further , it should be played on All Ireland final day at 1pm just like it used to be

Will Jimmy McGuinness lodge a complaint that Navan is only an hour from Croker?

Well my predictions were more or less on the money.
Bringing on Con with one good leg was never gonna be enough for Dublin.

So now I am going for a Kerry v Meath Final.

There is an All Ireland in that Meath squad (be it this year or in the next couple of years) - they will only get better and have a lot of youth on their side. Along with Keoghan & Menton for experience.
Rafferty, Caulfield, Morris & Costello would get on most inter county teams.
And I reckon there are a couple of All Stars amongst them 4 this year.

If I was a Mayo supporter I would be in hiding after the year you have had? Bottom of a group with Cavan in it says it all.

That was a hell of a performance by Kerry today.

Any team that can score 32 points v Armagh....

Write Kerry off at your peril, that never changes.

It is theirs to lose now imo. They will have far too much for Tyrone in the semi.
And their experience will tell in the Final.

Gas how they could do the draw this evening with a 13/14 day semifinal turnaround, and had to wait til Monday mornings the last 2 weeks, with teams only having 5or6 day turnarounds.

Definitely - great idea and makes a lot of sense....
