Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Anybody know if there are any bus' travelling from anywhere in Meath for this game ?" Meath Supporters Club are running a bus to Owenbeg on Saturday next for the Derry versus Meath match. The bus will leave O'Mahonys car park at 9-30. Return fare €20 contact Tony O Brien on 085-7364378 or Jack Kiernan 046-9021465 seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2149 - 05/07/2016 15:37:57 1876856 Link
Replying To Jinxie: "Absolutely. Still can't fathom the reason for it. I'm working Saturday till 12 and can't see how I'm gonna get to Dungiven in time. There was very little thought and consideration for travelling support. I thought it was one of the things the GAA were banging on about a few years about fixing games at a safe time to allow adequate travel time for people getting to games.... 2.30 on a working day doesn't seem to tick that box....." If it was 7pm people would be moaning that they wouldn't be back from Owenbeg until all hours/couldn't bring kids keeping them up late etc (as was mentioned by some ahead of Dublin 6:35 throw-in). If it was at 5pm it wouldn't suit people working a full day. It's impossible to please everyone... BarneysTie (Meath) - Posts: 258 - 05/07/2016 15:38:48 1876858 Link

Anybody know what time the bus would arrive back to Navan at ? LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1462 - 05/07/2016 16:00:13 1876865 Link

The issue with the Dublin game was an exceptional situation and also involved television, this game has neither. What's the difference in leaving Derry after a 5pm game or leaving clones or somewhere after a 7pm game? None. It would have been a much more suitable time.

Replying To umpireview: "Then why have you picked two other players instead of him for derry game???????" Thats not my team..thats ziggy team..he asked the question about Eamon Wallace playing of Newman..so i but Eamon in corner forward and moved Jones in ..i thought i pressed reply to his post ! Don't worry i would have young Douglas in my Team :) WhyTheLongFace (USA) - Posts:392 - 04/07/2016 20:41:14 1876440 ____________________ This was my reply to "umpireview"..i explained that it was Ziggy team..it was the Eamon Wallace playing of Newman conversation,and God love me i made a mistake by not pressing the reply button to his answer :) Listen i don't pick Teams on here because you all seem to get disgruntled about it when i do..i picked a half a team once and Browncow nearly had a baby or a calf and he is still not the best after it ! Anyway its ziggys team and he is from Ashboure and has a good taste in music :) WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 05/07/2016 16:54:25 1876898 Link

You're working until 12 on Sat Jinxie, so 4.30 or 5 would suit you just fine. Some people wouldn't like that because it'd mean not being home until 10pm or so. Some people are probably working until 5. So 4.30/5 wouldn't suit them. Some people aren't working at all, so 2.30 suits them fine. No matter what time it's at, there are some people who it won't suit. BarneysTie (Meath) - Posts: 258 - 05/07/2016 16:59:30 1876902 Link
Also you are overlooking the fact that this is a designated home game for Derry, so they couldn't play it in Clones. I assume if Meath came out of the hat first and it was at 2:30 in Navan you'd have no problem with the throw-in time. BarneysTie (Meath) - Posts: 258 - 05/07/2016 17:06:04 1876908 Link
Living in Limerick , times of the matches don't bother me that much its a full day where ever we are playing. its travelling so far down the years to see a second half collapse in most matches that really annoy me and I cant see much change for the Derry game. I Haven't missed a game in a long time but cant watch stuff like we all witnessed vs Dublin second half so I will miss this one . hopefully new management and fitness coaches will come in after this game because I think we have a fairly good panel of players that are not playing to 100% SheridansTry (Meath) - Posts: 180 - 05/07/2016 17:45:18 1876929 Link

I wasn't for a second suggesting that the game should have been played in clones, I was making the example of it as a venue and fans from say donegal last sat evening. I don't see why it has to be so early when there's a long journey involved. Not saying it needs to be at 7, but there's a compromise. Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6344 - 05/07/2016 18:52:55 1876967 Link

Well thats the keyword Jinxie that does not seem to be in the GAA dictionary anymore "compromise" Unless of course your from Dublin WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 05/07/2016 19:59:13 1876988 Link

The point is the the GAA don't really care about the likes of us.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 05/07/2016 20:23:35 1877005 Link

I think a totally new set up would restore my mojo about Meath football and I hope it would for you too. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/07/2016 20:47:06 1877015 Link

Replying To BarneysTie: "What was he saying?" Buy the paper! :P Seriously though you have to read the whole thing really too much to repeat. He said we have very good footballers.That he was disappointed that we didn't have a cut of it against Dublin.Hinted that we lack belief ad that there are no excuses going up to Derry. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 06/07/2016 12:03:52 1877241 Link
Should beat Derry , depends on who we get after that but think that will be end of the road for this group . royalpainter (Meath) - Posts: 874 - 06/07/2016 13:06:07 1877271 Link
