No I am afraid not . The manger needs to make hard calls with certain players . Andy has showed a lot of inexperienced at this level. meath1977 (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 23/07/2017 16:05:07 2021804 Link
Really a need for another thread of this? The one from the kildare, sligo and donegal games have all discussed essentially the same thing, as has a few other threads. If you have a particular agenda to discuss however, then create a thread for that and be straight up about what you want to talk about, rather than create false threads like this and the one about Bernard flynn when the real agenda is to discuss and air your disapproval at management.

I am not calling for the mangers head but he needs to do much better. you are very happy with things in meath at the moment fair enough but you won't stop me from giving my opinion meath1977 (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 23/07/2017 16:46:39 2021840 Link

I'm far from happy with how thongs are in meath, but I've seen enough chopping and changing in the last decade to know another heave isn't the answer. And after 4 games in the championship it's incredibly premature to start judging yet either. A little bit of common sense would be a welcome change here Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6342 - 23/07/2017 17:57:28 2021889 Link

The agendas against the mcentees is actually disgusting, even people at cb level WANT them to fail. I can't help but wonder is what is the cause. A few years ago I met a old man at a match and we started discuss potential managers and he said mcentee wasn't wanted I Meath, his reason was he was "the wrong colour" ....... royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 23/07/2017 18:33:21 2021921 Link
No one here is calling for Andy's yet. I think the topic deserves it's own thread as it has been brought up on multiple forums. We have improved in certain areas we seem fitter not by much however and we have a stronger mentality to see games out when we are in a good position. I didn't expect to see a transformation over night but I had hoped things would have gone a small bit better, we still have no game plan, physicality we are a mile of Kildare, Dublin and all the top teams and I don't think Andy had the best players. I watched 4 club games over the last few days and a lot of the county players didn't stand out UsernameInvalid (Meath) - Posts: 355 - 23/07/2017 18:42:12 2021923 Link

I am not against Andy and I hoping things will improve next year but I am losing faith in him. I can't understand why he can't find a keeper we can trust. a lot of things has to change but it has to start at number one meath1977 (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 23/07/2017 19:21:38 2021955 Link

No, and it's going to get worse, some lads on the panel are already telling me they are thinking off not going back next year because of relationship with manager, SS6 (Meath) - Posts: 149 - 29/07/2017 11:33:32 2025280 Link
Replying To SS6: "No, and it's going to get worse, some lads on the panel are already telling me they are thinking off not going back next year because of relationship with manager," Your really stirring the pot here, I heard from a few players myself who are very optimistic about next year, time will tell Royal.Legend (Meath) - Posts: 665 - 29/07/2017 13:08:08 2025311 Link
Things have improved all right. Remember how bad things had gotten. After beating Carlow in June 2014 we went 9 championship games in succession where we were outscored in the second half. The team was way off the pace in terms if fitness for a few years. Failed to win a qualifier match for years before this year. MOD stayed in too long after all lost confidence in him (after Westmeath disaster or maybe even after the beating Dublin gave us the year before) and in his last year because of this morale was at an all time low. We are still well off the standard of the better teams but fitness and morale has defiantly improved this year. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1344 - 29/07/2017 19:03:07 2025451 Link
This was the rating given for top 13 listed on 27th July on home page, movement from last year given in brackets: Dublin, Kerry, Tyrone, Mayo, Kildare (+3), Galway, Roscommon(+4), Monaghan (-3), Donegal (-5), Down (+4), Cork (-2), Armagh (+6), Tipperary, Meath (-3). You all can make what you like out of above and obviously as championship progresses the rating numbers for some counties will change. I do not know how the ratings are formulated. I would say that nobody should pay too much attention to comments like ; I heard a guy say 'this' or 'that' as most such comments remind be of pub talk or similar. I see now that the Donegal tread is giving the same abuse to their manager as some posters here gave to the previous manager. I would like to think/hope that abuse like that is not repeated again as it is more a reflection on the poster/posters. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 29/07/2017 19:58:03 2025473 Link
Looking at Kildare today getting beating by a limited Division 3 team....it hard to know really ! Kildare win against Meath in June was it a fluke performance ? were one team didn't show up? WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 29/07/2017 20:47:34 2025494 Link
Replying To WhyTheLongFace: "Looking at Kildare today getting beating by a limited Division 3 team....it hard to know really !

Replying To ziggy32001: "to be honest kildare always think they are on the way up. flatter to deceive as usual." again it's show where meath are at. no improvement the two teams that beat us are gone now and they were only middle of the road teams. we didn't give away big leads this year but we didn't have them to give away either meath1977 (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 29/07/2017 20:59:56 2025507 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "to be honest kildare always think they are on the way up. flatter to deceive as usual." As i posted after the Meath v Kildare game that Kildare might not win another game for a whole year..i just can't see them winning any games in Division 1 next year ! and i am not being disrespectful about it.

Kildare are a good enough side, however Armagh has improved as championship progressed and maybe were lucky enough to win some of the earlier backdoor matches. When there's only a point or two in a match it can go either way. A decent run in the championship gives a team confidence and that improves all teams. Donegal were in Div 1, Monaghan were in Div 1 and were very close to getting to the Div 1 final. Either of those teams would have great difficulty beating Armagh who were lucky to survive in Div 2. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 29/07/2017 21:09:29 2025523 Link
