Replying To ratlag: "Tomorrow for us as far as I know, players were being told either last night or tonight at training but its normally onlya day or two before hand when Andy releses it to the public, a few games last year he kept it quiet as long as he could if i remember corretly" Yea you're right he did, just hope he doesn't keep us in suspense for too long. We are all waiting patiently! Loyalroyal17 (Meath) - Posts: 627 - 25/01/2018 11:25:44 2070539 Link
Replying To ratlag: "I'd still stick with close to this team, possibly McMahon in for McKeever as he hasn't played enough with county to have claimed the starting spot, but may have impressed in training challenge games" Good looking team. Id like to see Tobin starting but not sure who i would take out of your selection. Loyalroyal17 (Meath) - Posts: 627 - 25/01/2018 11:28:27 2070540 Link

For me Tobin is the Ollie Murphy like player of this team, the sub who comes on with 20-25 mins left and causes havoc, he doesn't seem to be as effective when starting for Meath in any of the games I've seen him play in ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 25/01/2018 11:35:08 2070543 Link

I Think Andy Will pick This team..Personally I Would make changes to it but... 1.Colgan 2.Lavin 3.McGill 4.Burke 5.Keoghan 6.McEntee 7.Conlan 8.Flanagan 9.Menton 10.Reilly 11.O"Sullivan 12.Wallace 13.Lenihan 14.Brennan 15.McKeever grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 25/01/2018 11:46:29 2070548 Link

Murphy was one of the best corner forwards to play the game. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2149 - 25/01/2018 11:47:58 2070549 Link

I cant remember Oliie been a super sub. Started almost every game. Where you thinking of some else Jodi devine maybe ? bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 25/01/2018 12:00:22 2070555 Link
Replying To ratlag: "I'm comparing him in the way I feel he is best used, not in his ability" I agree to the point that when we need him to step up for us 2nd half and come on as sub be is capable of doing so. Loyalroyal17 (Meath) - Posts: 627 - 25/01/2018 12:05:19 2070556 Link

You may as well compare Bob o malley with Micky Burke. Lets be realistic here and i know for most that is asking a lot. Sean Tobin was anonymous for his club last year and if i recall he didn't feature for Simonstown in the 2016 run in, (when they were playing well). To compare hlm to a complete footballer who is known the land over is obscene. Next you will compare this current team to the Kerry side of the late seventies.

Please read the post and actually use your head when interpretting it. I said he is similar to Ollie Murphy when he was used as a super sub in the last 20-25 minutes of games to have an impact. Ollie was used in this way in the early 2000's (say 02/03 onwards) near the end of his career with the county team . Tobin I see as someone who doesn't impact the game when starting but when brought on in second half is energetic, a handful and able to kick a score. There was no comparing Murphy to Tobin as an overall player at any stage. I'm comparing Ollie when he wasn't starting anymore but being used to impact a game to the only was I see Tobin being used at the minute. ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 25/01/2018 12:49:27 2070564 Link

I should have been clearer in my ionitial comparison of Tobin to ollie Murphy, its Tobin now compared to how Murphy was used from say 2002/2003 until his retirment in 06 I think it was. ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 25/01/2018 12:53:32 2070565 Link

Ahhh i see, i would compare him more to Colm o rourke with his left foot. That is Colm o Rourke of 2014 when i seen him play a charity match. Very similar Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 25/01/2018 13:48:00 2070572 Link

Digging and hole that you cant talk yourself out of!! I actually like Tobin and Think he is pressing hard for a start this year..Either way he will be a plus this year grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 25/01/2018 14:28:03 2070583 Link
