Replying To royaldunne: "Look I wouldn't be too hard on either Menton or toher , both are trying to plug a serious problem in Meath team. I think Andy would give his left arm for a fully fit Gillespie, or a return of Rooney and Nash. But we have to make do with what we have and they need help from both half back and half forward lines. Also por (who was v good today) needs to stop with so many long balls , why give opposition a advantage on your own kick outs? 7/10 at least are going to be lost. One thing cork have is a decent midfield pairing. Can't play into their hands." Cork have a choice of 3 or 4 good midfielders, we will struggle in this area. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2150 - 05/03/2017 21:11:11 1964198 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "I agree with that also. It's heart stopping at times. And I think here lays our biggest problem, do we go short which paddy will make at least one haims of that might end up in goal , or keep going long to a makeshift midfield that will lose possession more often than not. Real 6 of one , half dozen of other." Go short against a team with decent midfield. It's nuts and pure suicide to do anything else! bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 05/03/2017 21:11:32 1964199 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Richie my problem is I would get the KFC regardless of win loss or draw lol." I plummed for a chicken sambo in Cavan instead today's performance had me feeling all fit and athletic :-) Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 05/03/2017 21:15:31 1964202 Link
Ok lads can anyone help me out with this. Assuming and it's a huge IF we were to win all remaining games we be on 10 points , let's assume Galway win all theirs they on 11, now my question is if Kildare win 2/3 loosing to Galway they also on 10 and we lose out due to head to head. What is other counties remaining games. Am I right in thinking that? royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/03/2017 21:20:20 1964207 Link
Replying To Jinxie: "Yeah today isn't his first shambles. Another Michael Collins (referee). I'll never forgive deegan for disallowing that goal for joes v wexford in 08. The dispossession was completely legitimate and a goal then would have stemmed the tide and steadied the ship. But we all know what happened instead." indeed,so many games,he really does seem biased against us,the only ref i would say that about.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 05/03/2017 21:20:36 1964208 Link
Replying To grahamc9897: "Haha yeah remember that ! No idea why it wasn't given! Never forget that game ! It was a piping hot day! We were unreal in the first half ! We fell apart after that ! Was it Limerick who hammered us in the next game" Yeah limerick about 6 or 7 weeks later, but we were completely deflated at that stage.

Replying To Jinxie: "Well the safety first option is long. But if there's enough lads coming to the 45 for marks it should be manageable to take 8/10 or our kickouts. V kildare and Derry when the runs were being made, he was picking out the like of osullivan and obrien but then it'd be followed up by a big drive to the middle which we kept losing in both games." would agree with that 100% ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 05/03/2017 21:25:47 1964213 Link

But go easy RoyalDunne haha, it was a great win today but Cork away will be very tough LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 05/03/2017 21:35:03 1964218 Link
RD, I'd forget about promotion possibilities and focus 100% on the next match. I wouldn't even be thinking about promotion unless it is in our own hands by the time we have to travel down to Clare. The next three games will bring different types of challenges than todays and the player's mindset might vary greatly from game to game.

Does anyone know what the attendance was? Read earlier that it was small but there seemed like a good crowd there? LowerHogan (Meath) - Posts: 24 - 05/03/2017 22:11:43 1964238 Link
Replying To grahamc9897: "Agreed so whats your team then !" Personally I'd go with: POR Keoghan McGill Tobin (another player I think is filling a gap, better suited out the field) Carry Harnan Menton Flanagan Toher Ford COS O'Coileain McMahon Reilly Lenihan I think playing Reilly in the FF line and letting him come out relieves him of the defensive duties he would normally have in the wing which we all know he just can't do, The two I've names I would see as more capable of covering the ground required.

Regarding promotion and relegation this year (it often seems to be changed year on year), if 2 teams finish levels on points is it based on head to head or score difference ?, if 3 teams finish level on points how are they seperated ?. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1358 - 05/03/2017 23:18:01 1964272 Link

Galway have Derry (home) Down (away) and Kildare (home) yet to play, Kildare have Down (away) Clare (home) and Galway (away), Clare have Fermanagh (away) Kildare (away) and Meath (home) and Down have Kildare (home) Galway (home) and Cork (away). If we won all our games to end on 10 points and presuming Galway and Kildare win their next two we would be hoping either Kildare would beat Galway to leave them on 9 points or it would be a draw leaving Galway also on 10 and we would advance on a head to head situation. Down could yet prove to be the fly in a few counties ointment given their recent resurgence and have both Kildare and Galway in their next two games and they would have the head to head advantage over us in any such scenario. Off the wall stuff I know but sure no harm having positive permutations thought of. Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 05/03/2017 23:35:13 1964282 Link

The dispossession was completely legitimate and a goal then would have stemmed the tide and steadied the ship. But we all know what happened instead." Can anyone tell me why Mickey Burke wasn't allowed to come on straight away once Carry got the black card? I have looked up the rule on black cards but can't see anything about it. Management had anticipated that a black card was coming, so Burke was ready to come on. He was half way across the pitch and the game hadn't restarted, but the ref sent him back. Galway then scored a point when we were down to 14 men. I think the same thing happened for our first black card. Galway scored while we had only 14 on the pitch, because the ref didn't allow our sub to come on. Is that right? Are you allowed bring on a player straight away, or do you have to wait until the game restarts, and then stops again, before you can bring on a replacement? anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 05/03/2017 23:39:23 1964285 Link
Check my posts I predicted we beat Galway Fermanagh and Clare. Now if we can get a win against Crok promotion is a real possibility plus a final in croke park which will good to get an extra game. Up the Royal Meathmen (Meath) - Posts: 73 - 06/03/2017 00:21:16 1964291 Link

I admire your optimism.....we haven't developed that level of consistency yet...I think we'll beat fermanagh at home and have a chance to beat clare but Cork away is not gonna happen unfortunetely.... The win against fermanagh should ensure division 2 football next year which is our lot at the moment southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 890 - 06/03/2017 07:03:05 1964310 Link

You have to wait for the next break in play, only exception is a goalkeeper for a penalty LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 06/03/2017 08:04:51 1964318 Link

You have to wait until the next phase of play ends before you can bring on a black card replacement. If a keeper gets a black, you can replace him straight away. royalfan4life (Meath) - Posts: 76 - 06/03/2017 08:12:04 1964322 Link
