Replying To Loyalroyal17: "Grand so are you saying they left the panel? Find it very hard to believe Sean Tobin has left because of an error made on Saturday. I dont think your sources are as reliable as you may think they are seen as everyone turned up for training last night?" So let's get this straight my sources are no good but you have pure truth no lies nothing whatsoever wrong. Interesting!! Reco (Meath) - Posts: 419 - 28/02/2018 13:46:28 2081225 Link

Unfortunately there are a number of deluded supporters who post (some with great regularity) who think everything they say is important and what is posted makes a difference. I also expect that players or indeed management do not read these sites. Some of the guys who are now complaining were complaining about the last manager (forked tongue I would suggest). I wish all players and management past and present the very best. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 28/02/2018 14:19:21 2081236 Link
Ignore the troublesome scribes, if ever a team needs support it's Meath now and if the game goes ahead Sunday I hope we have a good crowd there, although judging by the weather I would expect an early call on postponement for this one, the O'Byrne Cup could be in for another change of date Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 28/02/2018 14:30:28 2081238 Link

We will see what the county board really thinks of supporters if people travel from Cork to be told last minute that its called off. Think we should just forget this O'Byrne cup at this stage.

Headquaters have said a decision will be made of Friday, think majority, if not all games will be postponed to following weekend seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2136 - 28/02/2018 17:54:40 2081300 Link

I think though now unfortunately that there will be no game on Sunday. Huge amount of snow fell last night, and I had a very slow drive to navan and back (work related) today. Obc final will be postponed again. I would be shocked if any games go ahead, maybe in Ulster which is normally the area you would assume would be worst hit. Anyways even if someone is always at the thumbs down thing with me or disagree with me on everything, or agree with me on everything or in between, I wish you all well over these next couple of days , keep warm, look after those who may be less mobile than yourself, but above all keep safe, the next 24/48 are not going to be pleasant. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 28/02/2018 19:32:46 2081318 Link

Looking at the forecast it would be wise to cancel the matches, the travelling public also need to be taken into consideration as lot may be driving on roads that had packed snow which is slow to move. I cannot see pitches being playable even if the snow starts to melt on Saturday (which it may not)- very wet pitches can be quite dangerous for players. Maybe a game of snowballs may be possible though. Rd don't lose the spirit, better times may be on the way- some folk like to wind you up. Wish everyone safe travel and be careful. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 28/02/2018 19:53:02 2081324 Link
Game off lads, sensible decision in the circumstances, the O'Byrne cup will be played the week before Christmas at this rate, weather permitting Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 01/03/2018 12:48:36 2081418 Link

Replying To Richieq: "Game off lads, sensible decision in the circumstances, the O'Byrne cup will be played the week before Christmas at this rate, weather permitting" There should be no panic about O'Byrne Cup. It would be better than a challenge match in the run up to the championship. In the past the competition was held during the summer months. In 1967 Meath played Offaly in the s/f in Navan after the Leinster final and before the All-Ireland semi-final and it did them no harm at all. Just to let all you young one know Sam was on the sideboard lnext month. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1061 - 02/03/2018 10:00:41 2081541 Link

Now there's an interesting stat :-) I wouldn't be in any panic about it either, indeed playing in the run up to the Longford game could be the best time alright Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 02/03/2018 11:23:45 2081554 Link

So harm in playing westmeath later on. MeathWawa (Meath) - Posts: 61 - 02/03/2018 22:12:10 2081644 Link
3.00 on Sunday. Be a late one for the Cork fan(s) getting home for that one. Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6342 - 05/03/2018 14:58:20 2081943 Link
Replying To Jinxie: "3.00 on Sunday. Be a late one for the Cork fan(s) getting home for that one." Was fairly late and us getting home from the Tipp game been played at 7pm. No consideration is ever put in for supporters traveling. Loyalroyal17 (Meath) - Posts: 627 - 05/03/2018 15:39:47 2081957 Link

Well I wouldn't ind that when its down as a night game, it lends itself for staying over if possible aswell. I see its a double header with the hurlers now aswell which is a welcome addition Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6342 - 05/03/2018 16:54:46 2081976 Link
