Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Awful to blow the lead but we are still not out atleast" Sounded like a good tough competitive game . Let's hope a few of these players develop into seniors in a few years time. Any stand out players from this particular game to watch put for Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 22/04/2017 17:29:55 1981706 Link
outplayed dubs in the first half but 2nd half far too calm and too deep. ref bottled a pen late on too. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 22/04/2017 17:44:08 1981708 Link

Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Shane Walsh, Adam Murphy, Robbie Clarke." spot on. walsh did his best,but had little support in that 2nd half. laois up now ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 22/04/2017 18:13:50 1981716 Link
Very disappointing result. We seemed to want to protect the lead after half time and that completely back fired. At the time I though taking off Jordan Morris was a mistake and then we brought him back on too late in the game. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 22/04/2017 18:20:57 1981720 Link
Laois next in 2 week time, not sure if it's home or away. Win or go home time and a loss isn't acceptable. I still think there is more in this team LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1455 - 22/04/2017 18:36:21 1981724 Link

Something about Colm Coyle and losing 10 point leads...... Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 22/04/2017 20:33:01 1981757 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "yeah we sat back,but hopefully they learn from this." This was very similar to that day in Carlow when another Meath team managed by a man I have huge respect for did something similar. Go for the jugular in this position, should never sit back. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/04/2017 20:38:51 1981760 Link
I don't know whether I would blame the manager for this defeat, we did have a few chances in the second half but didn't take any of them and were not doing the basic things right. If we do meet Dublin again it would be another close game and I would fancy us to edge it. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 22/04/2017 21:47:12 1981773 Link

With respect, don't throw out a comment about a referee bottling a decision when Meath were winning by ten at half time and lost by two. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 23/04/2017 10:02:31 1981821 Link
Replying To waynoI: "With respect, don't throw out a comment about a referee bottling a decision when Meath were winning by ten at half time and lost by two." doesn't matter what happened in the game,he ignored a clear penalty. should he ignore it because a team was 10 points up? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 23/04/2017 10:41:14 1981824 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "doesn't matter what happened in the game,he ignored a clear penalty. should he ignore it because a team was 10 points up?" No, absolutely not. The point I'm making is its the height of irony to blame a referee for losing a game that you where 10 points up in at half time ? The referee may have "bottled" a decision, But your lads bottled a 10 point lead. Don't be trying to use one blokes decision as a reason you lost, We scored you 1-11 to 0-03 in 50 minutes of football. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 23/04/2017 10:53:32 1981829 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "doesn't matter what happened in the game,he ignored a clear penalty. should he ignore it because a team was 10 points up?" Yes we should ignore it. There should have never been extra time. 10 up at half we can't blame the ref LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1455 - 23/04/2017 10:57:48 1981830 Link

Well it shows that this group of the layers have it in them to beat Dublin , however it also shows a lack of team understanding on behalf of the Mgt team . When your team is ten points up and dominating , you don't revert to a holding defensive role . Like has happened . You let loose the hounds , you ask your players to go for the jugler . You tell them that they are the better team and that their first half display proves it . You don't , say ok guys we're 10 points up , now we're going to hold things , , I'm going to take off one of my better forwards , and start sweeping . What message is that sending to a team that are up for it . Management got that one wrong . They asked them to sit on a lead instead of extending it Meath_True (Meath) - Posts: 285 - 23/04/2017 18:52:15 1981941 Link
