I would beg Mick O'Dowd at this point to please just step away from the job, the current state of Meath football is by no means his fault but for whatever reason, he simply can't get a second half performance out of his team, so why stick rigidly to a failed project. Here's 2 interesting dates for yous: Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 09/07/2016 16:47:19 1878941 Link 2 |

Keoghan not injured, I am disgusted, and I will NEVER spend one cent on Meath football if the arms folded one continues, royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/07/2016 17:11:37 1878982 Link 0 |

Apparently Keoghan had concussion.It seemed ok to me,he certainly wasn't happy about coming off.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/07/2016 17:53:45 1879098 Link 1 |
Disgraceful, shambolic, clueless. Plenty of other adjectives to describe that performance. Why was Sean Tobin put on? Too many of them see it as a status symbol. The rumours of going out on the lash were more than likely true. It's about time pride is restored to the jersey. Plenty of lads on the junior team who would do anything to get on that team. Where was the leadership today? Jimin10 (Meath) - Posts: 783 - 09/07/2016 17:54:33 1879099 Link 0 |
You all seemed very confident. Going by the past few years and your 5 previous losses in the qualifiers I'm surprised. Hard luck chaps. I like meath but you are a sinking ship DoireCityFC (Derry) - Posts: 1580 - 09/07/2016 18:31:38 1879171 Link 3 |

I'm ok if he had concussion but why wasn't he replaced with a back Dan o Neill was the perfect option -

Ye I think we're long since sank as well, we haven't been a top team since 2001 and we haven't even been a decent team since 2010. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 09/07/2016 22:04:58 1879557 Link 2 |
Hard to add much to what is already written. Mick O Dowd seems a nice guy but cuteness and toughness not his strong points. A very weak appointment and as far as I could see only got it because Trevor Giles and Sean Kelly were on the ticket. When they moved on it should have been clear that he was not up to it and had lost those selectors, just that they were classy enough not to air the dirty linen in public. oldsam_newsam (Meath) - Posts: 638 - 10/07/2016 09:44:39 1879812 Link 0 |
Yeah thought of that myself! The attack on the supporters was out of order and frankly lazy.The supporters have also been proven right..

If Keogan was concussed then fair enough. He wasn't best pleased at being replaced though. What was the idea in talking off Newman and replacing him with McDonagh. I don't know what the game plan was but our forwards never made runs into space. Seemed to either just stand beside their or run the opposite direction. How many times in the game particularly in the second half where we didn't have a player within the opposition 45m line. Crazy Stuff. Micko is a gentleman but he hasn't much of an idea on how to manage a team or produce a plan of play. Diego (Meath) - Posts: 1205 - 10/07/2016 23:36:01 1880527 Link 0 |

I for one was not confident, and don't believe many were on this site either. No need to stick the knife in, we know where our standing is already. Good luck against Cavan - probably the hardest draw ye could have got but a game you could win though.

I buy the Chronicle most weeks. However, they have generally not rocked the boat at all with regards to the problems with the Meath team. I was disappointed with Collier's comments regarding the fans. In effect they were asking the questions the local media should be asking. I was also disappointed with some of the coverage of the previous rounds of championship games as the Chronicle was always my go to for match reports.
