Meath versus Galway

Replying To GlasgowRoyal:  "Why is Royaldunne taking such a hard time on here? The majority of us wanted Andy to get the gig and knew he wouldn't be working miracles right away. I'm as disappointed as the next man with the Kildare and Down results but there's nothing we can do about them, we just have to move on to the next match and hope for some consistency in the games ahead."
I don't know tbh , but as you know I've been around this forum from around 05/06 and old enough and ugly enough to take it. It actually doesn't bother me one bit.
My only concern is that Meath football improves , Andy is the man to do this. There is no one more qualified who is not in a management position. And I bloody admire him for taking it on when he didn't have to, I thank home for that unreservedly.
But cheers for the support Glasgow, means a lot :)

Look i guess there's no point in arguing with a Lad that's honest ...fair play to you for admitting your ugly and god love that good looking Dublin women of yours Declan :)

But here is the thing..reason why we lost to Kildare ,louth, and Down because the manger is only a wet weekend in the Meath job..he is only six months in a job and he is trying to find out about his players weakness and strong points !

Mod has nothing to do with the now ! When Andy reviews the video tape of the Down match with the players and points out the fact that system failed because players were lazy and also not accurate and didn't knuckle down ! So when Andy asks a player after reviewing the down match "why did you not cover space" "why did you not help out in defence or attack " "why were you sloppy with your passing " And the player replies to Andy that" i made all them mistakes because its Mods faults he scarred me ! "

Don't give the players any more excuses to be lazy...Mod didn't train the lads in Syria !

Anyways i am off to play some playstation 4 ;)

GRAHAMC We are all on the same hyme sheet when we all want the best for Meath football. Some of us have strong views on how that might be brought about,and they might be different to any one s individual views .This forum is all about opinions,and it would become very boring if we all say the same thing just for the sake of it.... The person never was attacked . the views yes and that ok.

There's no need to apologise, but I appreciate the offer. I actually agree with u on many posts, and I have never giving you a thumbs down. Look we all want what's best for Meath, we may differ on our approach but our goal is the same.
What do the say in companies together everyone achieves more :)

It's not as good as the PlayStation 3. Now let's argue about that :)

I cant see us winning this one COS most probably is not going to play. He was badly missed the last day even though he played he clearly was not right. Biggy is playing every other week he cant be in good shape either. That's our two best ball carriers and attacking players not working of 100%. Sheridan is not the answer ff. I can see Galway coping quiet well with anything we throw at them not optimistic. I Hope I am wrong.

Shane Mcentee almost certainly will be out too, not sure about the options on our bench to replace Shane and cillian, none would fill me with confidence anyway , our injured players like tobin newman harnan cant comeback soon enough

I think COS will play, he played for Moynalvey on Sunday, the problem with COS is he was probably our best performer in our first two league games this year so he will be focused on by the opposition and this is where other players need to step up. I know I have defended Brian Sheridan but I don't think he is the best option going forward but I think Newman is the only one that can come in and start ahead of him.

Hopefully Harnan or D.Tobin are fit enough to come back into the team. Harnan has played a number of games for his club and surely must be fit enough to play now, unfortunately we don't have a good enough squad where we can be waiting weeks for a player that is fit to come back, we are serious contenders for relegation so need our best players on the pitch. I also hope some of the u21s are on the bench for this game, our bench looked poor last week.

Lastly I think we will win this game.

Regarding Shane McEntee, is it injury or do you think he will be dropped?

I'd play Menton and Forde as the wing backs and tweak the midfield pairing from what is available. Doubt it will happen though :)

Considering a lot of injured players played for their clubs at the weekend, I assume their fit so this is what I would go for

Hannigan (POR not at it last week)

Keogan
McGill
O'Coilean (didn't think he had a bad game)

Harnan
Tobin
Forde

Menton
Flanagan

Toher (Doesn't catch kick outs, would be better option at HF as gets on good ball. Also COB not inter county standard)
O'Sullivan
Biggy

Lenihan

Posted that message without finishing it by accident. Ironically I was just going to write AN Other for the other two FF positions as we simply don't have anyone good enough to play in there at the minute. I'd give Sean Tobin a go maybe

injury, seemed to pull his hamstring or a muscle in his calf in the second half against down, highly unlikely given the lack of options that he'd be dropped

He didn't last long in the Moynalvey game though - I think he came off after 20 minutes or so. Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me to see him starting against Galway. I believe he is pretty much held together with pins and wires at this stage, so a small thing like a broken nose shouldn't hold him back for too long!

Looked like a hamstring injury, say out for a few games , he has been inconsistent but then so have most lads, I do think there is potential with him.
