Replying To meath1977: "very true and a cavan ref last night yes the better team won but cos was hit with a shoulder heading in for goal in first half no free second half early stages Shane mc entee great shoulder to one of Kildare men free in and a lot other soft frees to Kildare" I'm glad someone has mentioned that tackle of shanes in the second half. It happened right infront of me and was absolutely no free. It was a perfectly fair hit. Afternoon restart when we got a bit of momentum we had to scrap for scores, but I'd say 4 of 5 of kildares scores which kept them in it were handy frees.

Also, while I haven't seen a replay, I think the Kildare number 7 should have gotten the line for the off the ball incident with ROC. Seemed from where I was standing that he gave him a knee.

Looking at the highlights on TSG, most of the teams we could draw in this round of qualifiers will be difficult enough to beat, especially if they have home advantage. A home draw is what we need in the morning. GlasagusOr (Meath) - Posts: 1348 - 18/06/2017 23:11:48 2001483 Link
I think I had a typo in previous post. Would go with the following upon further reflection. This team needs a fit of freshening up & a couple of risks taken as the team so far are just not good enough. These might not cut the mustard either but worth a go imho. Work rate from forwards needs to be upped. Paddy O'Rourke Keoghan McGill J. McEntee Conlon Power Harnan Menton C. O'Brien A. Douglas M. Newman R. O.Coileann Lenihan G.

Replying To ziggy32001: "lets be honest,we should beat any of those teams." Why should we? Who have we beaten in championship in last few years? We need a home draw to get us up and running again seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2135 - 18/06/2017 23:39:07 2001505 Link
Replying To WhyTheLongFace: "I am going to try a make a stab at this see can i guess who will play who ! Sligo(h) v Donegal(A) Mayo(h) v Longford(A) Clare(h) v Laois(A) Derry(h) v Meath(A) I could be way out after tomorrow morning .." Mayo v Longford is a cert!

Yep and biggie got closed lined and wasn't given a free , clear black card, the tackle on roc was a red clear as could be. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 19/06/2017 00:34:18 2001531 Link

Howya Meath lads You'll have to sort out your defence You've conceded a bucket load of scores in two goals - most notably 5 goals in two games I'd be looking at setting up like Dublin after the trimming Meath gave them in 2010 If you continue to be so open at the back you'll soon be out and it'll be a very poor championship Time to shore up a bit and try and regain a bit of confidence and go on a bit of a run But some serious tactical changes needed! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 19/06/2017 10:51:55 2001662 Link

Hard to disagree with that, we may not be playing Sligo after all, awaiting to see if they used too many subs on Saturday. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2135 - 19/06/2017 12:01:30 2001725 Link

Really don't like being negative but after seeing them in both Parnell Park and Tullamore, I think Sligo will beat us! Whilst I'm certain there are better players in the county, the current panel has way too many passengers and will struggle to get a win over an underestimated Sligo team. They have decent forwards whom will look to benefit from the severe confidence drain after the Kildare game. Tweety (Meath) - Posts: 30 - 20/06/2017 13:30:53 2002508 Link
