Replying To ziggy32001: "Kevin Reilly thinks we haven't a chance up in Derry.." "We haven't chance " that's a bit harsh. Where are you reading that ziggy ? bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 07/07/2016 12:14:06 1877829 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "Kevin Reilly thinks we haven't a chance up in Derry.." Wouldn't mind him. I'd have zero time him. He couldn't keep his mouth closed inside the dressing room and he's as bad now outside of it. Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6344 - 07/07/2016 12:16:12 1877830 Link
Replying To Jinxie: "Wouldn't mind him. I'd have zero time him. He couldn't keep his mouth closed inside the dressing room and he's as bad now outside of it." Whether you agree with him or not,if I was in his position I wouldn't be saying what he is saying. Although I hope the players read what he said as it may help motivate.I really really hope we win,but my head is telling me otherwise. Team selection will be interesting. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/07/2016 12:20:19 1877836 Link

Out of interest, when was the last time we beat Derry? I certainly can't remember us beating them in the recent past. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 07/07/2016 13:33:03 1877890 Link
Replying To Jinxie: "Wouldn't mind him. I'd have zero time him. He couldn't keep his mouth closed inside the dressing room and he's as bad now outside of it." Agreed Jinxie... those who have played against him on the club scene can attest to the kind of character he is. Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 1319 - 07/07/2016 13:47:41 1877902 Link
"How not to throw a grenade" should have been the headline to Kevin article ! Look come 5 pm Saturday evening he could be right ! WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 07/07/2016 14:04:18 1877916 Link
Replying To Crinigan: "Agreed Jinxie... those who have played against him on the club scene can attest to the kind of character he is." Lads posting comments under a veil of anonymity on a forum are well-positioned to criticise... At least Reilly puts his name to the comments. I'm not sure what the big deal is - he gave his honest opinion. So what. BarneysTie (Meath) - Posts: 258 - 07/07/2016 14:17:36 1877931 Link
Don't really see what the problem is with his comments, he's telling it as it is instead of sugar coating it like some other people. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 07/07/2016 14:38:43 1877946 Link
I think Reilly is using some reverse psychology here, issuing a challenge to the team to show he is wrong in his estimation of the team. This is a must win for Meath for a number of reasons, 1) get back on bike after Dublin pasting 2) beat an old unbeatable foe, 3) break the record of bad " qualifier" runs 4) maybe keep MOD in place . If beaten then MoD needs to wrap it up. nemlodoak (Meath) - Posts: 170 - 07/07/2016 14:40:57 1877948 Link

Well Kevin Reilly said we must keep MOD,now he says we have no chance of beating Derry who are very average. He also put this up on his twitter after the Dublin game.. "Insanity doing the same things and expecting different results" Now does he support the MOD regime or not? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/07/2016 15:16:21 1877969 Link

I don't think reverse psychology would work with these boys to be honest ..i think them feeling sorry for themselves after getting spanked by their Dublin Daddy is what they prefer ! Trust me these boys wont beat Derry or the Derry u12 team this Saturday because they are already gone on holidays ! WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 07/07/2016 15:18:45 1877971 Link

Unless Kevin knows more about what has gone on the last few weeks.Something that Moyles suggested recently.Its up to the players to prove him and people wrong on Saturday. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/07/2016 15:22:17 1877974 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "Do you think Meath have NO chance though?" Ok I wouldn't agree with no chance I think it's a 50/50 game. But he is right that it must have been very tough after the loss to Dublin, luckily we had the two weeks to prepare though. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 07/07/2016 15:23:59 1877978 Link

That "thing" moyles suggested is fairly well known I think. Sometimes it's not even the night of the game it's the following day as well.

I don't think Kevin's doubt lies over the quality in the Meath team he doubts if the lads will be able to motivate themselves after the beating from Dublin. Derry will be in the right mindset for this game but the Meath lads might be lacking some motivation after focusing on Dublin for so long. I know as supporters we had very large doubts over if Meath could beat Dublin but I'd imagine every single player in that Meath team trained and believed they could beat Dublin and after losing that badly I'm sure the majority of them are still sick. With that being said I'm sure Louth were in the same boat after losing to us yet weren't too far off Derry, so we'll see. Uncle_Fester (Meath) - Posts: 217 - 07/07/2016 15:51:09 1877998 Link
God, Reilly comments are harsh. Its hard to know what to make of them comments, He is probably just saying what he thinks. I am not sure Meath where that gutted and at a such a low after the Dublin game. I sure they will pick themselves up ok. I still reckon they Meath will put decent performance against Derry. bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 07/07/2016 16:06:24 1878010 Link

Should they not be used to losing to Dublin(as annoying as that is)? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/07/2016 17:07:32 1878044 Link
