Replying To ziggy32001: "yeah pretty poor coverage it has to be said. What games have they coming up?" After the Chronicle did some "exhaustive research" we are playing Leitrim in Dunganny at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 04/01/2017 19:37:37 1943110 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "Meath 3-15 Leitrim 0-14 quite a few of last years minors played in this one.." Seen the team sheet and couldn't believe how many played. Where are the minors of 2014 and 2015 gone ? LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 07/01/2017 15:32:38 1943748 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Seen the team sheet and couldn't believe how many played. Where are the minors of 2014 and 2015 gone ?" Fair point... I think someone said we looked like a minor side v Offaly,perhaps a similar number from last years minors played. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/01/2017 17:55:49 1943791 Link

Although some of them about,Jones is injured,Thomas O'Reilly,Podge McGowan,Daniel O'Neill,Brian Harnan are still there.Perhaps Barry wants to see which players from last years minor crop can make the jump. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/01/2017 18:04:50 1943797 Link

I'd same himself, Brian Conlon and Dan O'Neill will be 3 lads getting the call up LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 07/01/2017 19:08:22 1943813 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "8 points from O'Reilly. I'd same himself, Brian Conlon and Dan O'Neill will be 3 lads getting the call up" Conlon did play.Hopefully Jones will be back soon and O'Neill is around. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 07/01/2017 22:40:48 1943882 Link

Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Is it possible he is playing college's in the O'Byrne cup" No he is in the U21 squad as far as I know he isn't with a college team. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 10/01/2017 21:45:40 1944719 Link
Ziggy , I don't know where your coming from with the Rowe statement, He's a Natural footballer , a enigmatic talent . I hear people talk about James Conlon this year as if he is the New Messiah , from what I seen of the Syddan / St Colmcille games this year , young Rowe is by far the deadlier of the two sharpshooters , and has pace that far exceeds James Conlon ( James is also an exceptional talent , so don't start saying I knocking James ). I don't know what you mean he has a lot of improvement to do . Eamon Wallace , arrived on the Meath Senior Squad , after been overlooked by Andy Mc at minor level ( During their All Ireland adventure) . He was a bench warmer , yet everyone around asked the questions why " and he was recognised by all in the know at that point to be an exceptional talent " and why Eamons participation that year was only as a panellist . Within 12 months the Meath followers were praising him as the best thing since sliced bread . I think a bit of cop on is required here . Rowe has been outstanding for Club and County this year . he's still a young lad as is James Conlon . Does he even need to be included in the Senior set up yet . Look what happened to E. Wallace when he was dropped in , cruciate injuries etc. Meath_True (Meath) - Posts: 285 - 12/01/2017 16:04:47 1945213 Link

At the end of day here lads , Rowe , if he has stalled in his progress , well then maybe joining Andys 50 man squad would have been of great help to him for motivation, , strength & conditioning, etc . But as well all know from outset a agreement was in place that the 21s would'nt join the senior set up untill they 're fall in the championship.Hopefully for this young man , if tired gets his break also that he regains his appetite and has a good 2017, gives Andy a headache going forward. Let's not be knocking our young talents & being critical of them , but encourage them to continue play our game. cilles man (Meath) - Posts: 142 - 12/01/2017 18:47:37 1945270 Link
