We should win. Don't expect Kildare to do anything other than lie down and get beat. Anyway lets get a good performance and result going into the championship.Onwards and Upwards. Up the Royal. Meathmen (Meath) - Posts: 73 - 27/03/2017 15:06:10 1971846 Link
This will be a tight game and we will we do very well to get a win . Galway should beat Kildare at home anyway, but at least we are safe in Div 2 now SheridansTry (Meath) - Posts: 180 - 27/03/2017 15:49:02 1971872 Link
Can't see Galway losing to Kildare although all pressure is on them and none on Kildare. Kildare would probably see Galway as being more of a threat then us and would rather knock Galway out and play us in the final. Still, we won't have played a tougher match all year then clare in ennis who might need to win to avoid relegation. Is this going to be yet another one of many years in div 2 where one slip up along the way has cost us promotion. It's looking very likely but here's hoping we finally buck the trend. I'd love promotion to the big league along with a div 2 final in April against neighbours Kildare. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 27/03/2017 16:58:10 1971916 Link
We are no where near ready for div 1 Another year in div2 much more benificial For the progress of this team. Or would be bad for the moral to go straight back Down next year head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 513 - 27/03/2017 17:53:08 1971949 Link
Kildare v Galway - out of our hands so forget about it. Meath havent won away from home in the League. The form continues I think Meath will win but won't be a whole lot in it Royalio11 (Meath) - Posts: 757 - 27/03/2017 18:13:06 1971953 Link

In that case biggy is a must. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 27/03/2017 18:23:59 1971956 Link

Royaldunne I'm a fan of Biggy but he's had a poor year! You can't say that he cant or won't be dropped ! He simply hasn't played well this year and that's a fact! We need performances out of him!! And the minute he's living off past year performances!! grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 27/03/2017 19:35:01 1971996 Link

He was by far best Meath player v Kildare, missed Derry game, was good v Down was good v Galway was above average v cork and was average v Fermanagh, however he has also averaged 3 points from play per game, plus an average of 3 fouls on him in scoreable positions, set up 3 goals with direct last pinpoint pass to scorer. Look je is tired no doubt, but a 50% biggy is still worth at least 3 points. No other player shows that scoring potential from open play . So therefore he must play and Andy knows this too. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 27/03/2017 21:49:06 1972056 Link

Look I'm not going to get into a long argument about Graham.Looks he's a good player and on merit for sure deserves to start yes ..But Royaldunne I think your bring very generous on his performances this year ! Now I can't comment on the cork game as I couldn't travel but saying He was not our best player v Kildare that was a terrible performance from 1-15..He was poor v Down yeah he kicked a couple of scores but over 70 mins he was poor!! Galway he was OK but plenty better ! And yesterday you say he was average.. Come off it injury or no injury it was correct decision to take him off ! You keep banging on about scores ! Sure James McEntee came on and kicked 3 points yesterday !! You just need to realise that he's not the be all and end all off this Meath team! You just cant admit hes had a poor year for Meath ..I think he should be on the bench next week ..Now come summer he will be back playing in the first 15 for sure! But he needs to raise his game big time!! grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 27/03/2017 22:45:30 1972083 Link
And your comment of no one else does that from open play are you forgetting Donal Lenihan.. Cillian O'Sullivan..Brian McMahon..Tobin kicked 3 points yesterday ! Micheal Newman If fit..Wallace and others !! grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 27/03/2017 22:50:18 1972086 Link

Good man Royaldunne how is she cutting? As a neutral on Biggy I think he is a very good player. He had some year in 2010 and he scored four points against us in the Leinster Final and he should of won young player of the year that year. Do you think yourself that Biggy's underachieves when he plays against the Dubs in Croke Park? OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 27/03/2017 22:59:44 1972089 Link

Micheal Newman If fit..Wallace and others !!" Not game after game they don't, its consistency on grahams part. Now no way am I saying he doesn't need a rest. There us no other player on that team that has played so many games without a break for club and county. Fatigue is bound to play a part. Look Andy even dropped O'Sullivan for Fermanagh game, and btw I have said taking him off when game was won was absolutely right decision, and if we in same position v Clare I expect same thing to happen royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 28/03/2017 06:57:47 1972115 Link

Denying yourself at least 3 points from your final tally would be the definition of stupidity.....plus the 2 or 3 he gets fouled for. He had a quiet enough league and still scored very well.....to say he had a poor one is just plain wrong. Leno has being very hit and miss too...we'll drop him so.. Keogan got roasted twice v kildare and Cork..let's drop him too. Ridiculous. The league had one game left....he can rest for 2 or 3 weeks after it southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 888 - 28/03/2017 07:46:00 1972117 Link
