Hard to blame the county boards solely for that, especially when you factor in that maybe the players simply aren't in Meath at the moment?
Kildare are doing fine currently (winning minors and u21's in Leinster) and are performing at about their rightful level! People tend to forget that aside from the Mick O'Dwyer years Kildare for 50 years previous, they won f**k all. I grew up playing with Laois underage teams when the lads a few years ahead of me were winning Leinsters and All Ireland's. Laois simply don't have the players and haven't had them for the last 6/7 years underage. Yet, Kildare, Laois and Meath county boards have all overseen developments of top class centre of excellence facilities. I think it's just unfortunate that Dublin GAA (footballers) is now a monster and the rest of the counties in Leinster simply haven't got the rescources or even the players currently to bridge the gap. I do think money and more funding for coaches would help no end in the smaller counties and the GAA should be doing more, but I don't think money is the sole reason Dublin are ahead of the pack, not at all. They're just a brilliant side and their attention to detail is that of a Premiership football club or a top Rugby side.

Kildare and Meath for starters. They've been nowhere near as competitive over the last few years as they should be given the size of both counties.

Why are you dodging the question? Which county boards made a bollix of things? See the 2017 Football Championship thread.

Really ? Might of known you'd stick your beak in here given the obsession you've had with me at times.
Kildare and Meath are two fairly big counties who should be competitive in Leinster and haven't been. Dublins success is not an excuse Edited by Denis Irwin - 30 Jul 2018 at 12:21am |

Again, which counties were these? I seem to remember you half dodged the question the last time I asked you. Giving Kildare as an example and not knowing they had Hawkfield.

Yes that's exactly it and not some of the other CBs making a bollox of things ....... Dublin haven't won any of their recent AI's finals by a huge margin generally only a point or two

I'd say there were a few Moorefield supporters gone to beat the traffic at that stage. In saying that they did similar against Portlaoise being 4 points down at the end but wom by 1 so maybe most hung on until the end.
I don't care who it is but when I see a team trying to close out a game by back passing or tip tapping around the corner flag I am delighted to see a team do what Moorefirld did yesterday. Few cynical fouls too that the ref punished. Lomans could be waiting a very long time to get as close again. sh*te christmas for that team. |

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

It was mental, fair play to them for keeping going because they were completely battered for the whole second half. Loman's were so much stronger for the 30 mins, self destructed then. Really should've closed the game out - slowed it down, fake an injury etc. Lost the momentum completely but once Moorefield got a sniff they drove it home. Sweeney was immense, some going for a 37 year old.
Wonder how many left the ground when the 60 minutes were up?! Imagine missing that

Moorefield with a sensational comeback to beat St Lomans!
6 points down on 57 minutes to come back and win by 1 with the last kick of the game! Absolute bottle job from St Lomans, mind but fair play to Moorefield.

Clarke is definitely the best shot stopper in the game but in Gaelic Football the role of a goalkeeper is so much more than that. The restarts and possession are so critical, particularly in the third quarter, and Cluxton (despite being capable of a meltdown moment here and there) is the master at it. |
