He's 29 and he's probably best utilised as a full forward right on the edge of the square

Replying To Damothedub:  "Regarding Stuart Lowndes , I think a tremendous talent , left my own club and sorely missed not going to go into the club politics of it all , but hes transferred and good luck to him , and for those who may think not good enough for Dublin not good enough for Meath , for me he would not be out of place in our Dublin team ."
Well that's good enough for me,
Thanks for clearing that up for some of the more ignorant posters with regard to this.

I've said on here for months Lowndes should be a shoe in for Meath this year, his quality isn't up for debate when he's been the best player on the park more than once in club games up against county starters. Andy will have seen all this too. Nor is his heart or commitment in doubt to Meath seemingly, takes a fair bit of balls to have a go at this so he should be applauded. Meath family, supports Meath, now plays in Meath so a very welcome asset. O Connor the same with Meath family and supporting Meath, and although I haven't seen much of him I'd trust Andys judgement if he deems him worth looking at. It's all very encouraging news as far as I can see, even if early days.

Played with him for a few years decent player ... No game changer at county standard an average player to slot into a below average county team

If all these players that you have in the club are so good (and I'm not disputing your statement) then I would have thought that your team should have won the championship by a significant margin (and according to RD's comments our senior teams are of a very low standard and he should know!).

If you asked anyone before the quarter finals not many could see past Dunboyne this year, nor the bookies, that's just football, not sure what relevance that has to the merits of Lowndes. I'm happy with anyone that can come in and improve us, be it player or manager regardless of clubs

Anyone Dunboyne lost to the winners after extra time.Whoever won that game I felt would win it out.

I now know who you are, your micko . Obsessed by excuses , and longing for a return while hoping the new regime fails.

I am not really into this OConnor fellow being on meath team but as a Dublin club player he must have declared allegiance to meath as deegan does the other way round

Lowndes is now for the time being a meath club player so he is fair fame in my mind as James colgan from Ashbourne if he decided to take that road

What about Robbie McCarthy the other dub transferred to dunboyne has he got a trial or is he interested

Brownepat (Meath) - Most supporters do not care were a player originated from as long as they are committed and prove themselves. At the beginning of SB's term he had guys were playing their club football inside the county on the team, who had played in their respective county teams

Royaldunne - you obviously have a poor understanding of basic English- a good rant though. I think you may have to improve your performance in 2017!. I support who ever is put in charge of the team and it is a difficult job. As I have said in many posts previously I wish them the best of luck going forward and I expect them to do well as the Mc A's are very committed individuals who have performed well in their management- their campaign does not commence until 2017 with O'Byrne cup

Would you go away out of that mick. You were talking about tests against Laois,
Look micky mouse would-be better than previous set up. No matter how passionate he was (I never seen it myself, ) he couldn't manage, end of story.

RD I think you should make your New Year's resolution to stop repeating yourself about the MOD era and the man himself. You've made your views perfectly clear at this point (at every available opportunity). Time to move on, don't you think?

We have moved on, thankfully, just never forget where we coming from and the low base we at, that Andy has to somehow rectify. And when people given out about dubs or Joe or whatever else, they should remember it was not Andy who made a laughing stock out of this great proud county, or who has us lingering around the bottom of the top 20 counties in Ireland.
Of course we have to move on and thankfully we have, even if its 3 years later than it should have been.

I honestly can't say why Lowndes hasn't had a look in before , he was taken out in the o Byrne I attended one of his games he couldn't buy a pass , that's the nature of trial games , he played in a struggling club team which certainly didn't help , regards his play he's a high fielder lovely hands and scores off both feet , he's also a serious hard worker on his game , heard a story not sure if it's true some time ago he was asked a question re ambitions and he answered to play against his brother for Meath I will leave it at that

Go home RD we have heard enough of your ranting there is no point in talking to you or your mates MOD had prepared the way for McEntee and in time his good work will be seen by all

All that wants to see it that is

Go home? I suggest you cop yourself on.
The mod crew like yourself will now try to create what Andy does as a reflection on mod? Get real. Mod was a disaster. End of story. He is now gone thank god, and we have somebody who actually knows what they doing.
Forget about him, its 2017 and all he is is a distant memory.

Yes it's probably true alright, all over Dublin there are hundreds if not thousands of kids who would quite happily settle for a Meath jersey if there was no Dublin one on offer. Ask yourself what jersey they'd be wearing if they were standing on Hill 16 as a spectator watching both teams in a AI final.
