Replying To ratlag: "Well i'm a man of about half that so back in the days of Ollie and that I was learning the hop and solo rules, only had the millenial appearances in the memory bank im afraid" Good man Ratlag. My football status has reached Ratoath. Some say that the great Paddy Keenan learned a thing or two from myself. Anyway if you are heading over to Rossieland could you and your Royal Buddies go in and shout for the Wee County hurlers even for the second half. I will return the favour if the Louth footballers and Meath hurlers are playing on the same double bill providing the hurlers are not playing the Wee Hurlers. Best of luck on Sunday to the Royals.

Disaster of a game and we played well in the first Half too grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 25/01/2018 22:08:33 2070681 Link
hope i'm wrong but i think we will do well to avoid relegation battle in div 2. overthehill72 (Meath) - Posts: 334 - 26/01/2018 08:22:14 2070696 Link
Replying To grahamc9897: "Yeah I was at it too..Ollie broke his hand or something??? Disaster of a game and we played well in the first Half too" Believe Ollie dislocated two fingers and something and told the physio to pop them back in and taper them up. Physio had to tell him that he needed to go off the pitch and think about his career outside football. That was an odd day and year, classics with Westmeath in leinster and the quarters, Dublin weren't great but it was still Meath and Dublin. Semi v Kerry was the strangest game ever, you knew there was something up when John McDermott was scoring goals... and ended up winnng by 15 points.. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 26/01/2018 08:54:38 2070703 Link
Ahh those were great old days. But back to here and now. Sunday looks like been quite windy from forecast I got this morning with passing heavy showers, might be a bad day for open football, but win is all I care about. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 26/01/2018 09:30:13 2070713 Link

Replying To grahamc9897: "No Under McEntee no chance thats Gonna happen!!! Were strong this year and will be competitive big time" The Divisio is that close in terms of the teams in it that I can see the difference between a 'relegation battle' and 'promotion candidates' will only be about 3-4 points I would say!!! ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 26/01/2018 11:15:20 2070746 Link
Replying To overthehill72: "hope i'm wrong but i think we will do well to avoid relegation battle in div 2."

Replying To grahamc9897: "OK but still no way were gonna be involved in it" We shouldn't be IF we play to our potential, hopefully no slip ups like Down last year and we should be challenging at the right end of the table come April time. ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 26/01/2018 11:58:10 2070757 Link
