It's a distinct . Development teams don't have championships . Don belittle the achievement of this group of players . Meath_True (Meath) - Posts: 285 - 01/08/2017 15:54:57 2027451 Link

winning at underage/junior inspires a winning mentality and confidence.. anyway who is going and what are the ticket prices? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 02/08/2017 18:40:07 2028036 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "winning at underage/junior inspires a winning mentality and confidence.. anyway who is going and what are the ticket prices?" Exactly Ziggy , and it fosters something that is difficult to address on a training field , and that is mental strength and a winning mentality that comes for winning achieving a goal . Because the pressure encountered in the penultimate stages of a competition are unique to those stages . You can train for intensity , volume etc. coming up to a final . But you cannot train for the innate mental pressure of been in that environment ( the fear of underperforming etc. ) . That is why Sport Psychologist / Analysts always hark back to the old saying , "they've been here before , they know what it takes " . so dismissing a winning mentality at any stage in the development of a player is wrong . Because they no matter at what level they have competed or won , have a mental knowledge of the innate mental pressure that is exerted in these situations . (It is also another reason why Sport Psychologists agree that the lack of success of this current May team is a mental thing ..... Which has been proven time and time again . ). People talk about a break through in mindset when it comes to winning , Mayo have not been able to achieve it at the level they require ..... A winning mentality is critical at all levels for Meath to be competitive again . That is why , when I hear PARTICIPANTS on this forum OR OTHER FORUMS , dissing , or downgrading achievements at any level , it gets my goat up ..... Winning is winning ....... No matter at what level ...And it adds so much to the armoury , that it cant be quantified straight away . Meath_True (Meath) - Posts: 285 - 03/08/2017 09:05:54 2028254 Link

Well beaten by Kerry, 1-14 to 2-19 seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2150 - 05/08/2017 16:27:09 2029316 Link
Hard luck to this group of players who have done exceptionally well this year in winning a provincial title and reaching an All Ireland Final, Kerry sounded the stronger team which given their championship format is no surprise but it sounded that Meath never lay down and kept on battling which are all important attributes, hopefully their experiences of this year will stand them in good stead going forward.

Good run this year from Meath. Overall their opposition wasn't great up until the final and that might have worked against them not playing a tough match but in fairness a few lads really stood out. I expect 4/5 to be in training with the seniors next year. The manager must be kicking himself for dropping Conlon, came on after 20 mins and kicked 4 from play. Would it have affected the overall result if he started, probably not but it's still a sore one. What's ifs and maybes. Changing the rule to having an under 23/24 team whatever is was is definitely the way to go. Maybe taken more seriously again next year and lads in training a bit sooner. Onwards and upwards for these lads. Tough run for the lads involved, back to A league Monday and championship during the week. Player welfare and all that.

poor stuff another reminder where we are at as a football county meath1977 (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 05/08/2017 17:42:43 2029337 Link
`thought it was closer than the score suggested. meath missed some good goal opportunities for,but kerry were the better side and their players have a mentality of winning that we just don't have right now. thought conlon was good,he is light,but quick,make great runs and can score. rowe didn't have his best game,but the lads kept going. flanagan was a major disappointment for a player on the senior panel.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 05/08/2017 17:53:11 2029340 Link

Kerry were streets ahead of us today, we were nowhere near their level. Our seniors were a big let dow unfortunately RoylerKing (Meath) - Posts: 809 - 05/08/2017 18:45:41 2029368 Link

Indeed, no disappointment in reaching a all ire final after winning Leinster well done to all concerned. Hard luck lads this experience will stand to you in the future.

Wouldn't agree with Ziggy ref Flanagan. He controlled mid field and caught great ball. But as usual, he must have been instructed to hold back from.going forward. Covered a lot of ground. Was Meaths best player IMO. Alf1 (Meath) - Posts: 1 - 05/08/2017 20:08:45 2029418 Link
