Meath V Offaly - 9 Like(s)
Replying To royaldunne: "Look I agree. But we are better than we have shown this year.. we haven't scored more than opposition apart from Carlow . Also was talking to a Offaly man today, he was happy but stated that Offaly will be beat easily by louth if the don't improve massively. Said it is a very ordinary team and without some of their best players yesterday, but that Longford etc were better than Meath. Worst Meath team he has seen in 60 years (his words ). He said when we luckily drew with them last year they were a far better team. The problem is as yet we have no game plan, no structure, no heart , no fitness etc. that is down to management, we won't be winning all ire or Leinster but we should be beating the likes of a very poor Offaly side , a Limerick side that had already decided to sack their manager and a louth team we would have better players than. That is down to Colm. No one else ." Would u have better players than Louth don't think so

Meath V Donegal - 5 Like(s)
Replying To JackieboyfromTara: "It was great to see hype, colour, fan support. The amount of young people at games, wearing jerseys was unreal. It was great to see. It was like this summer, a new generation of young Meath fans were awoken. It keeps the fire burning so important.
I think we are different to teams like Cork Armagh Dublin Derry Galway. The are aging teams many of them have peaked and need to rebuild in comparison this Meath team is youngest team in div 1 or div 2. Look at age profile
Hogan 21
O Halloran 21
Coffey 22
Caulfield 21
Gray 21
O Neill 24
Duke 20
Kinsella 22
Curtis 23
Morris 25
Costello 24
Frayne 22
Hickey 24

That's Youngest Meath team ever to get to semis. This team wouldnt peak for another couple of years. While kerry Galway Donegal Armagh are a their peak. To beat Dublin kerry Galway and team I'd only really together 1 1/2 years compared to Donegal team who r 5 or 6 years together. It was noticed so many of thr players who we played v Donegal in 2019 2020 are still on Donegal team. That Donegal team is years ahead of us in terms development." Half a kerry team half a Dublin team and a very poor Galway team

Replying To southmeathgael: "Louth are well deserved leinster champions, a brilliant team building year on year, but I don't think they are ever gonna be a division 1 team, yes they might go up, but straight back down. Not even in the same conversation as monaghan, never have been and never will be." Did meath go up one year and back down the next

Replying To Proudroyal: "Well Brian,I personally think you would learn more from the Kerry game than you would say beating division 3(maybe Down ,Westmeath apart)/4 teams by a few points.I get your point winning will breed confidence but there is a big jump in standard from 3/4 to divison 1 and 2.I know getting hidings is not the answer either but apart from Dublin Kerry we could be competitive with most teams if the right structure gameplan in place.Who knows another manager comes in it may be the same but there has been no progress made since winning TC.On a new man in ,while of course most of us would like it to be a Meathman, I dont care where they come from if it improves the team then great..Of the names you mentioned Brennan and Bohan would maybe be interesting.I think Malchy o Rourke would be good but not sure he would take it?Alot of questions is right but important we get a good man in as the young lads need to hit the ground running in the next couple of years." How about Mickey Harte could be available very soon

Replying To Rebel2020: "As a neutral I agree regardingthe referee, I counted poor decisions against Donegal and none v Galway. Moving a free in for dissent so late in the game shows a shocking lack of empathy for the adrenaline rushing at that stage. Donegal ever so slightly the better team I felt but the soft goal, and Gallan miss the key moments" Better team usually wins

Replying To SheridansTry: "Yes but they kept the ball for along time without using it as the forwards were well marked. Why are you on the Meath forum when you have nothing of use to say ?" Should I not be on it have u a problem with that. Donegal were 2 points up what would Meath have done in the same situation

Replying To royaldunne: "Ok am I right in what I'm thinking? Kildare are on opposite side of Dublin in Leinster draw so they have a distinct possibility of still reaching Leinster final. As I believe louth are on dubs side too. (Really should have looked it up before posting). So the 8 finalists reach the round robin. Are cork opposite to Kerry and or Clare ? If they are they also will reach it by right. Should Meath get another win we may not need the bye from tc last year and get there on merit. (If we get passed Longford dubs will hammer us). So no chance there . I am again speculating but I suspect that the provincials will be dub Kildare Kerry cork 2 of Roscommon/Galway mayo . And say for argument sake Derry and Donegal. (Could be anyone in ulster just picking those two as an example) that is the top 8. Then it goes to league. Plus Meath. Majority of div 1, will be in it so next 7. One thing I don't know is the two who get relegated from div 2 ranked lower than two going up ??" Louth on same side of draw as Kildare. Meath on same side as Dublin

Replying To Fionn: "Ok last post of tonight....
I know, I and others have suggested Ger Brennan as the next coach of the Dubs, but the more I think of it now, I am not so sure anymore. I think it might be too big of a task for him. Nothing against his achievements with Louth, but in reality, Meath are a better team than Louth, and blew that Leinster final, imo.
If I had to choose Ger or Robbie - I would go for Robbie B.
But he wont be leaving Meath.
So, the big question is, who do we go for next...????
I am gonna throw a real curve ball in here and suggest Austin O'Malley, ex Cuala.
Although if I am in Mayo CB, I would be jumping in there first to get him.
Interesting few months ahead for the Dublin County Board." Don't see how u can say meath a better than Louth . Louth beat Meath twice this year

Replying To Horsebox77: "Yes fair point, why do both teams change. But seeing as the gold design Is a new addition and in only year 2 of the cycle this will i imagine be our jersey on Saturday.
If you think back to the golden years video we rarely wore the Munster blue back then. Offally in 80, Meath in 86 and mayo in was it 81 semi.
The final jerseys for 81 and 82 were class and retained the green and gold. Truth be told i love the current green and gold design by Paul but was disappointed by the gold/blablack addition. If it was gold/green now that would be a different story .
Either was still expect a win Saturdsy night gold jersey or no gold jersey" Team picked yet lads
