Replying To royaldunne: "Ahh jasus Ollie that makes for horrid depressing reading altogether. :(. Think we need to get 12 virgins to dance around newgrange to lift the course. On second thoughts it will probably be easier to get Louth to win a Leinster than find 12 Meath virgins :)." Any reason why these virgins have to be female? Because if male one will do, a forum devoted to talking about football is probably a good place to start looking ! anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 09/11/2017 20:05:18 2061467 Link

Easy to talk about curses but the reality is Meath football has been exceptionally poor. The exodus of players this winter has a real nail in the coffin feeling for Meath football. Accepted I wont see us win an All Ireland in my lifetime again. We're the new Kildare. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 10/11/2017 11:54:02 2061568 Link

We're the new Kildare." 2 players (Jones and O Caoilean) is hardly an exodus!!! Keoghan will be back ater his masters is finished which is understandable and Harnan is still only a rumour at the moment!! Even if he isn't, then its 3 players for the year and 4 for the league!! ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 10/11/2017 12:18:54 2061576 Link

Don't bother supporting the team if that is your view. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1790 - 10/11/2017 12:26:25 2061581 Link
Replying To bert09: "Don't bother supporting the team if that is your view." Why wouldnt I support them? They're still my team. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 10/11/2017 12:32:21 2061582 Link

We cant absorb those numbers. Dublin losing 3/4 is water off a ducks back to them, not for a limited team like Meath. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 10/11/2017 12:36:19 2061584 Link
From what I hear not all of the players leaving the panel are walking away, some have been invited to walk away, O'Caolain and Jones are big losses, longroadback (Meath) - Posts: 324 - 10/11/2017 13:03:40 2061594 Link

According to the Meath Chronicle Harnan gone for 18 months. I think the league is more important than championship for Meath,but losing Keoghan would be a serious blow to any chance of promotion. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 10/11/2017 13:29:41 2061602 Link
Apparently mcKeever and McCabe are in the Meath panel ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 10/11/2017 13:45:24 2061609 Link
Replying To ziggy320001: "Apparently mcKeever and McCabe are in the Meath panel" worthy inclusions surely given how they've done in the last couple of years. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 10/11/2017 14:23:41 2061615 Link
Replying To brian: "worthy inclusions surely given how they've done in the last couple of years." TBH would like to see Kane and Gallagher in too,perhaps they are but don't know. I think McGeever gives you massive workrate has an eye for goal and is reasonably strong physically. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 10/11/2017 15:12:05 2061622 Link

Replying To ziggy320001: "Apparently mcKeever and McCabe are in the Meath panel" yeah was talking to a lad from Wolfe tones during the week who seemed to know what he on about and he also gave them 2 names from simonstown (tho i doubt if they would be in yet, with them still involved in leinster) along with Glynn from the Tones, Halligan from Rathkenny and Ferguson from kells. he said there were others but those were the ones he was sure of.

Kane was asked in last year but couldn't commit, and he hasn't gotten worse since last year so why not ask him again? When I hear of some of the other players being called in it's a joke he wasn't asked in. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 10/11/2017 18:28:11 2061662 Link

Interesting stuff.. Wonder how Forde is getting on with his injury. How old is Glynn? ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 10/11/2017 18:41:14 2061665 Link

I've read a lot of nonsense on here. But I think yours is the most nonsensical post, for what I presume wasn't a tongue in cheek, but a serious comment. My advice ? stay at home don't go to matches. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 10/11/2017 21:35:29 2061676 Link

Royalbadger count yourself lucky that you have seen your county win an All Ireland. There are plenty of people who did not and will not see their county win an All Ireland.

Writing off meaths chances of winning an all ireland for decades to come because two regular starters and a few subs have left the panel, shocking what a losers attitude Royal.Legend (Meath) - Posts: 665 - 11/11/2017 13:15:44 2061716 Link
