Mickey Newman should start the next day out, he looked good when he came in. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1349 - 01/07/2017 20:02:33 2008487 Link 1 |
All that matters is the result. Meath are capable of so much more. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1790 - 01/07/2017 20:07:12 2008491 Link 0 |
Oh my nerves are just about settling down after that game. First of all well done to the lads for grinding out a hard fought win. Sligo pushed us all the way and almost forced extra-time in the closing stages. Newman did well when he came on and has to start the day day. We're going to be right up against it the next day and Clare, Mayo and Donegal will all want us in the draw but that's the way we want it. Roll on the draw Monday morning, it's great to be still in there. RoylerKing (Meath) - Posts: 809 - 01/07/2017 20:07:49 2008493 Link 3 |
Disappointed with the result but well done to Meath. Surprised that a lot of Meath supporters here didn't give Sligo a chance beforehand. There was never going to be much in it. Hope ye got a bit of a fright anyway. letsgosligo (Sligo) - Posts: 98 - 01/07/2017 20:08:04 2008494 Link 2 |
Really poor standard of football. We made error after error and whilst I understand that the players are doing their best I don't think we make it past the next round. Foley91 (Meath) - Posts: 418 - 01/07/2017 20:19:16 2008499 Link 0 |
Cheers letsgosligo and hard luck to Sligo, could easily had won it, personally I was surprised myself with the confidence in here. Now I'm not criticizing lads for having faith in the team, but after the consession of 3-9 v Louth and the hammering by Kildare I couldn't see us running over Sligo.

Well done to the lads for finishing the game strongly, all round the manager won't be pleased with the lacklusture performance but we're still in there, that's the main thing. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 01/07/2017 20:26:28 2008505 Link 5 |
By the sounds of it, a less than convincing win, but a win nonetheless. Think this is as far as we'll go this year sadly, but I hope they'll prove me wrong. GlasgowRoyal (Meath) - Posts: 293 - 01/07/2017 20:28:44 2008506 Link 0 |
That was far too close for comfort. Sligo kicked a fair few wides in that second half or it could have gone either way. I know Meath kicked a few as well. The team's confidence has taken a big hit from the Kildare game. But there was a serious lack of hunger for large spells of that game. Good job Sean Tobin and Mickey Newman could tale those late scores when others were wasting good chances, with a strong enough breeze behind them. Jones was the pick of the bunch early on till he picked up a knock and had to go off. Biggy only plays when it suits him (fits and starts), not good enough for a captain. COS was very poor apart from a nicely taken point. Why did they play a counter attacking game in the second half, with so many players behind the ball ... allowing Sligo far too much possession and inviting them on to them ... instead of taking the initiative, controlling possession and dictating play. I thought Conlon did well second half and is worthy of a starting position. GlasagusOr (Meath) - Posts: 1348 - 01/07/2017 20:41:18 2008515 Link 3 |
ya it was a nervy display,but look we won it and we are through. but look mayo and donegal struggled today too. thought conlon did well when he came on,also newman did well too. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 01/07/2017 20:43:21 2008518 Link 4 |
Firstly a wins a win so well done for that ! Team pulled it out when needed so fair play.We will have to improve big time to progress any further and hopefully that will happen ! I was critical of Graham Reilly but without him we wouldn't have won that game ! He showed leadership when needed ! Now for the negatives firstly Paddy O'Rourke is an accident waiting to happen ! Such a defensive set up 15 players in our own half at times ,little or no gameplan still ! Too many passengers ! Sean Tobin should is not good enough in my opinion! O'Sullivan making wrong decisions ! Sligo were beyond terrible that should have been an easy victory . grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 01/07/2017 20:44:03 2008519 Link 7 |
People now understand why Newman is needed big time , grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 01/07/2017 20:45:22 2008520 Link 9 |
Well it was as ugly a meath performance as I've ever seen but we got the win in the end which is all that matters. Important for this team to be able to grind out a result in game like that. royalfollower (Meath) - Posts: 77 - 01/07/2017 20:45:55 2008521 Link 1 |

Can't remember the last time I was so disappointed after a win. I'm not sure what it is about us, are we moving the ball too slowly? Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 01/07/2017 20:53:22 2008530 Link 11 |
Lads I'm having a much needed stiff drink after that, Christ on a bike but that was too close for comfort with some terribly frustrating play at times. Thank God for Mickey Burke who I thought had a stormer today, good grit shown at the end but it was an ugly win, anyway back to my pint to sooth my strained throat Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 01/07/2017 21:01:56 2008543 Link 11 |
What did mickey burke do wrong to be dropped?
