I think Dublin were always going to win regardless no shame on Meath but even if they got half of their scoring chances on the board it would only have been a moral victory. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 24/06/2019 18:51:32 2200153 Link 0 |
I don't want to see anybody who wasn't at yesterday's game at the next one. I drove in snow to ballybofey, and drove home. I drove almost twice to ennis (turning back halfway there due to cancellation) but next day out again, I drove on a Saturday afternoon to pairc ui rinn and drove home , I drove to portlaoise, and 3 times to Croke Park. I don't want to see anyone at the next game who couldn't bother their ass to go to a Leinster final. Rant over. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 24/06/2019 19:38:08 2200188 Link 1 |
You're out of luck because I'll be there. I went to all league games this year bar 1 home and away all championship matches bar the leinster final. If Meath fans boycotted in protest of funding like I did change would happen sooner. The price of the ticket also needs to be changed. Now there was probably only 6k or 7k meath fans in Croker which is well short of the 20k/30k we've taken to big matches before. Next year if we play Dublin far less meath fans will travel and rightly so. We'll have more meath fans in navan for our league matches next year please god then went to the Dublin game on Sunday.

What right have you got to say who should or shouldn't go to a football match??? If you're happy with the status quo in Leinster that's your right but many more aren't happy and have a right to demonstrate that. jimski (Kildare) - Posts: 381 - 24/06/2019 20:33:39 2200240 Link 5 |
Did Meath Mentally Collapse Yesterday? NAIL_BAR (Meath) - Posts: 457 - 24/06/2019 20:34:57 2200241 Link 0 |
100% they bottled it. Poor passing and shooting caused purely by lack of confidence. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8591 - 25/06/2019 19:53:00 2200841 Link 6 |
All that driving and still driving us all mad.

I just think Meath do not have the full team to play in the style that would have got them much nearer. gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 25/06/2019 22:00:45 2200940 Link 1 |
Don't worry you should get a good rest from all that driving very soon!

It's hardly the managers fault They had the correct tactics. The players hadn't the composure to kick the scores. They got the ball to the D as many times as Dublin but couldn't kick them over. The players need to take ownership. Managers can't kick points tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1109 - 26/06/2019 07:24:20 2201040 Link 1 |
Its the manager's job to instill confidence in his players, if he can't do that, he can't manage.

They didn't mentally collapse, they are just simply not at the level required. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 26/06/2019 16:09:23 2201332 Link 7 |
They did wayno, I've heard their conversion rate was top notch in training etc, so its not as if they can't play ball, they just didn't believe in themselves.

They didn't mentally collapse, using the word 'collapse' would suggest that they were in a position of prominence in the first place, which unfortunately they weren't. And I'm not suggesting that was their fault, they just were never gonna be good enough. pati (Meath) - Posts: 80 - 26/06/2019 16:58:37 2201357 Link 1 |
Of course. They were popping them over all over the place against donegal etc. what happened ? No one knows to be honest.

Quoting mdm "Andy McEntee is the best manager I have ever played under".

Was that in basketball? :D Listen, I know he managed the club scene very well, and if he learns from that disaster, and brings Meath on from that, he will have achieved something very worthwhile. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8591 - 26/06/2019 18:49:58 2201400 Link 4 |
Very true managers cannot kick points, however they can put a five foot seven: ten stone, inexperienced lad in as our lone target man and move our regular full forward out the field and away from scoreing zone. Its not as simple as blaming lack of composure. All parties have questions to answer, hopefully these can be addressed before next game.
