Why are the county squad not playing football for their clubs over the last few weekends ?
Meath do not play until the 4 of June and none of the county squad played for the clubs last weekend.
This is a disgrace ! The county football manager said that he wanted the players to play for their clubs as much as possible but yet here he is stopping them playing seven weeks before they play Louth or Wicklow.
I know their is a 13 day championship rule that the county manager can enforce , but for pete sake Meath dont play until the 4th June.
another round of A League football this weekend and the clubs will again be without the county players.
The county board need to stop this from happening , this is a proper disregard for the clubs.

Andy Mc has gone back on what he first said.

Hope all those knockers of Mick O'Dowd now realize what we have bought.
Remember after four moths last year Miicko had secured our Division 2 status and won the O'Byrne Cup
Andy Mc already behind on that score.
Also by April last year Meath County Players had played at least 5 club matches. Some this year haven't played one.
Absolutely farcical that A.McEntee allowed dictate like this. County not playing for 6 bloody weeks. Come on.

Mick O'Dowd we were 6-8 in championship. Wins against Wicklow x2, Wexford, Carlow, Kildare and Louth. We lost to Westmeath to the first time ever. Went 0-4 in qualifiers. And ohh yeah we also lost to Dublin 3 times by 7,16 and 10 points. The 16 and 10 point losses being our worst to Dublin since the mid 70s. And yeah we had a few decent league campaigns (9 points in div 2 twice, same as we got in Andy's first year). But his last year was the worst of the 4 leagues. Most importantly only one time in the 4 years MOD was manager (1st half Dubs 2013) did I feel an ounce of pride about the team I was watching and that is sad.
So yeah maybe I will be proven wrong about Andy and maybe he won't be as good as I think. But to say he is behind a manager who brought Meath to all time low's because he won a Mickey Mouse cup in January is nonsense and you know well it is. So give Andy a championship and then come back and slander him, don't just push your own agenda. RANT OVER

Andy is a staunch Dunboyne man so he certainly won't want weakened Dunboyne teams losing to Ashbourne but that is not his responsibility, and it's the league for Christ sake, it's all about the championship for 90% of clubs and whether there is even a 10% is debatable.
With regards the ludicrous Micko comparison, we went down to the last day chasing promotion. We went down to the last day last year fighting relegation, so its nothing alike. As for the O Byrne cup, I honestly despair.
It is this sort of meticulous planning required by our county team, if the Dublin's are doing it we sure as hell need to as well. You may not like it but that's how it is. It will have been this sort of planning and attention to detail that saw Andy win the All Ireland Club championship may I add. He is doing his utmost to bridge the gap against the odds, took that task on when the county was crying out for it, and he's doing a good job of it too.
Our year as it stands revolves around the 4th of June, and there will clearly be no stone left unturned. That is what we bought in to.

Thank Andy is 100% wrong in not allowing county players play with their clubs at this stage of the season. Love to know why he has changed his mind on this.

It is interesting how Ibbecek has unleashed a good few rants from a few posters. Can anyone explain to me how coming 3rd in Div 2 this year (with 4 home games) is away better than coming 3rd last year and the year before -without a rant please. Some poster mix up facts with fiction. Anyway I do not judge as it is early days yet and as in the past I wish the present management well in the future in what is a difficult task. I do think that the club football in every county is being undermined and it is good to see an association formed to right some of the wrongs that is going on in almost every county.

Replying to LeitrimRoyal99: I do not agree with your statement, "The 16 and 10 point losses being our worst to Dublin since the mid 70s." Might I remind you that Dublin beat Meath by 5 points in 1974 by 2 points in 1976 and by 4 points in 1977. Hardly close to 16 and 10 point defeats.

We didn't come third last year, we stayed up on points difference on the final day.

Simple explanation, we didn't come 3rd last year. We came 5th and won two games .....

My club has another get together this weekend.
Our players are not being released to County Management as we require them for our own chat.
After all we have championship coming up before Meath play.
Btw. Meath got 7 points is 2016 league. 1 win less than 2017. Was at all of the matches.
up the Royals.

And it's funny browncows saying that some posters mix up fact with fiction and then he says we came third last year. We had to beat Laois on the last day to avoid relegation if my memory is correct. At the start of the league last year the management were aiming for promotion but by the end of the league they tried to make out our aim was always to maintain our div 2 status.

We came 5th last year and stayed up only on points difference /head to head. Its this type of inaccurate posting and trying to rewrite what mod actually did is what annoys me most. Surely you knew we finished FIFTH ?

I love it when smug posters play the know it all card but are in fact wrong.
As one poster once said, "you are indeed wrong"
