Replying To ziggy32001: "are those derbies bigger than meath/louth though?" I was at the Armagh and Down Division two league final in 2010 and there was no love lost between the supporters. Kildare and Laois is another match where there would be plenty of fireworks. It all depends on where you live Ziggy. You are an Ashbourne man so you would probably see Meath and Dubs as a bigger derby match than Meath and Louth. Louth is an unique position because Meath is its only Leinster neighbour while Meath have Leinster borders with Louth, Dublin, Kildare, Offaly and Westmeath.

No offense to Wicklow but I think most Meath people expected Louth to be our opposition. Anyway has the makings of a good game, I think last year's affair in Parnell Park lacked a lot of quality but both sides seem to have improved this year and hopefully that will show. Only worry is I'll be just home from a stag that Sunday so if you see a lad curled up fetal and babbling, buy him a pint and maybe if you're half dacent looking give him the kiss of life ;- ) Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 22/05/2017 18:15:31 1989514 Link

And the only one of them bordering counties that I dont mind is Louth (as in not despising) where I grew up I was 4 miles from Westmeath, 6 from Kildare and 2.5 from Offaly, and dubs I just hate, its in Meath dna I guess, but as I said I lived on border with Louth for quite a time and never had one problem. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/05/2017 18:26:50 1989522 Link

Is that near Castlejordan Royaldunne? Edenderry is not too far away from that neck of the woods. The river Boyne is the border between Offaly and Kildare just outside Edenderry.

Replying To ziggy32001: "dubs will always be the ones i dislike the most." Its 50/50 between them and Westmeath for me with Kildare a close 3rd. I live in wm and have dub in-laws so its always a toss up, cant they both just loose? royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/05/2017 20:16:15 1989561 Link

You would be correct Ollie, actually the parish is Ballinabrackey. I went from one end of county to the other in bettystown :) If you go on Facebook a lad did a very funny thing on Ballinabrackey, it's un Meath but cant get to it without going through either Offaly, Westmeath or Kildare. Its a world of its own out there :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/05/2017 20:38:01 1989570 Link

Get practicing for that streak now, we'll been winning Leinster soon! Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 23/05/2017 17:36:01 1989912 Link

I'm already practicing:) if you find that leggy blonde maybe she might streak with us :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 23/05/2017 21:23:42 1990010 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "I'm already practicing:) if you find that leggy blonde maybe she might streak with us :)" Think I'll head into this, and for God's sake RD, show me some passion, I'm expecting to see two teams really go at it, because if the intensity is not in this game both sides are wasting their time going forward. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 24/05/2017 01:01:49 1990070 Link

Well that's the main thing Andy has brought, passion. Yes the players are playing to a coherent plan, but for the first time in many a year they are playing with passion amd belief. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 24/05/2017 09:53:57 1990124 Link

Absolutely jimbodub....Meath are under severe pressure the manger who is nearly 9 months in the Job could very well be handed his P45 after the louth match win lose or Draw :) WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 24/05/2017 20:51:33 1990422 Link
Replying To Whammo86: "Will you be able to buy into this one on the day?" Doubtful, last year not one ticket available on day, lot more optimism from both Meath and Louth this year, expect tickets to be gone by next Friday v royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 24/05/2017 21:10:24 1990424 Link
