Very good post. Lets hope the footballers take a page out of the hurlers book. On fitness levels the hurlers are so much fitter than footballers royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 26/06/2016 09:42:02 1872128 Link 0 |
Talking to some of the lads from our club who were involved in the team, they never once doubted themselves or their ability to win both of these games, the press were writing them off, the bookies were writing them off but every time I spoke to any of them they were determined they were going up there to win, nothing less than victory. That's a fantastic mindset to be going into any game, you can train seven days a week but if you haven't got the self belief in your abilities to go all the way as a team you're wasting your time. People sometimes underestimate the importance of psychology in sport but the Meath back room team should be applauded for instilling this belief in themselves, if only we could bottle it and give it to the footballers. With the right support mechanisms in place there's no reason why Meath GAA shouldn't be competing at the highest level in both codes, we need to be looking forward not harping back to past glories, the county board needs to sit down with the clubs and develop a long term strategy to get us back to the top table whatever it takes, there isn't a GAA fan in the entire country that wouldn't have given anything to get what we got yesterday. The lads have shown us what can be done its up to us now to drive forward and build on this. An Mhi Abu. Wedgie (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 26/06/2016 10:40:54 1872161 Link 0 |
Two all Ireland finals in the one month I can't believe I get to do it all again today with another trip to the home of Meath GAA (Croke Park) to support the footballers in the Leinster. Wedgie (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 26/06/2016 10:43:56 1872163 Link 0 |
Do the footballers have this belief? The evidence suggests that they don't.. These hurlers had a lot of setbacks in both games and it didn't bother them.

Very well done to our Hurlers, it can't have been easy to get back up for this game given the farcical circumstances but they got the job done and showed great character and determination along the way. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 26/06/2016 12:57:45 1872246 Link 0 |

A very good well deserved result for the hurlers and the best of luck to them going forward, the have come a long way with little support and a small catchment. I would add if a guy needs a psychologist to tell him he can win a match then he should not be on the team or indeed the panel. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 26/06/2016 13:12:14 1872257 Link 1 |
Who said anything about a "psychologist"...?

What a day in Croker Saturday, the emotions were unbelievable. We'd lost it, we'd won it, it was a draw & then we broke their hearts again. RedMeath12 (Meath) - Posts: 117 - 27/06/2016 09:22:38 1872576 Link 0 |
No he's not. Sure he score 1-14 in a league match for Kiltale last week. RedMeath12 (Meath) - Posts: 117 - 27/06/2016 09:51:43 1872596 Link 0 |

Why's tryout talking about somebody who was not involved ? Consentrate your comments to the lads that done us proud on Saturday ! duelplayer1 (Meath) - Posts: 97 - 27/06/2016 13:12:36 1872735 Link 1 |
Absolutely delighted for this team and management. What a proud day to be in croke park. This proves 2 things....the small ball is alive and well in Meath and also nobody is irreplaceable. The 26 lads that chose to represent their county and we're willing to commit themselves are the ones that we should be talking about. Well done to all involved! billyjack24 (Meath) - Posts: 40 - 27/06/2016 17:45:26 1872946 Link 1 |
I heard that the messages are flooding in to these lads from every corner of this country, Roscommon, Donegal, Down , Kerry, Longford,Clare Leitrim,Offaly,Laois, and too many more to mention. Who could have known that so many people were right behind the Meath Hurlers . What a great day for Hurling in Meath. This team are known for sailing their own ship. Best of luck to team and management for next season ( which is not too far away , Oct/Nov). What a year. Unbelievable. hurley1 (Meath) - Posts: 45 - 27/06/2016 18:49:32 1872981 Link 0 |

What a game. What spirit. Where does this leave Meath next year in the Leinster Championship ?. I have heard some staying they are in the preliminary group while others saying they will be straight into playing one of the big boys ? bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1349 - 27/06/2016 20:34:02 1873018 Link 0 |
