In a recent Indo article Andy Mc said SOR would not be able to commit to Meath. Level of training required would be too much for his damaged hips

Yep I agree but if Louth beat us this time last year you'd have been up in arms like you were over Westmeath as good as the manager may or may not be he can't tog out we are what we are we have to realise this and stop expecting what this squad can't produce

Not sure but Forde could have been deeded the third man in which lead to melee from both sides, which from what I understand is straight red.

Knives outbafyer obc game, no, after loosing to Westmeath for first time in 130 years yes. Let's get into perspective that was a nothing game, and actually probably did more good to loose than win.

A few players rushed in from both sides though,it wasn't one person as such.Tackle on Reilly that lead to the incident was very poor.

You are 100% correct,but the movement and support play was very poor.Everyone seemed slow for whatever reason,we weren't like that in the previous games.

He was the third man in and made some contact with the Louth guys head, so was a red.

Yi have seen a total different attitude to Andy's team than last year, jesus it's only January in first year, he has to be given time to succeed and he will, the team is there they were mismanaged for long time, it will take time to rectify this. But the early signs are good, this is not a continuation it's a total rebuild

Where they training on Saturday? They looked very heavy legged.

Out of backs only Keoghan who is guaranteed starter! I like forde as a half back option despite his red card.No one else really stands out for a starting place ??? What about Connor Donwey he scored 2 points from play when he came on. Could have done with him from the start. But I guess he was looking at other players. I would very surprised if he doesn't start against Kildare. Actually I would shocked. bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 22/01/2017 20:37:54 1947873 Link 0 |
Well done Wayno on your win today.Yes kildare finished poorly but it was only in the last few minutes that Dublin went ahead. It was Kildare's poor passing particularly in the second half that gave Dublin the chances that they took to win the game. Having said that it was very disappointing to lose to a third string Dublin team, who were very hungry in the second half with the Number 10 Hazley? outstanding. Conor McHugh and young Hudson were also excellent and all three have made their case for inclusion on the Dublin panel. The fact that both Kildare and Meath lost today makes it difficult to predict who will win in two weeks time. The O'Byrne Cup will be well forgotten by both teams by then. The prospects of both teams in the league can only be judged or rather relatively so, after the Navan League clash. Ps Wayno there was about 50/50 attendance at the game today. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2990 - 22/01/2017 20:39:57 1947874 Link 0 |
Fair point! He should be in with a shout of playing

"I just think it's something that has been happening to Kildare teams for quite a while. It's this thing of playing in fits and spurts. When they play with a positive edge, like we did in the first half, we do a lot of damage. But there's this sort of regular thing of going back into themselves, independent of the opposition". Cian O'Neill about his Kildare team today. Sad thing is if you replace the word Kildare with Meath and told me it was Andy I would believe you LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 22/01/2017 20:46:13 1947880 Link 6 |
Do we really wanna be playing Kildare two weekends in row if both teams won today. He used enough players now to pick his squad. Its only O Byrne cup, didn't do any favours for us last year when we won it. Bugsy (Meath) - Posts: 58 - 22/01/2017 20:47:23 1947881 Link 1 |
Fair enough but a bit of realism is needed don't be putting undue expectations on the squad and management we are a long way off the top teams

I'd agree with that. Meath were very flat on feet today. And while it wasn't the case , they never looked like a team bursting a gut to win, I would think two weeks training will bring on both Meath and Kildare, no intensity today . I guess it was all about objectives and I feel we had already reached all ours in this comp.

The game between Meath and Kildare is very important for both, as a loss puts either under serious pressure. No real idea where Meath are at, but expect a very tight game from Kildare

Agreed, Andy is aiming for promotion, I am with him on that,, and I believe in him that we will so our very best, if it's not to be it's not to be, it won't change my mind that we have best man for job, we won't become all ire contenders in a year or two, but I would like to think In 5 years we would be
