Screaming verbals at his marker while he lay on the ground and after he scored.

Really negative stuff and needs to be looked at by the powers that be."

That meath player actually got a dirty knock from the mayo player and hobbled away after giving out to him. You need to look at the entire incident.

Replying To Wally:  "Down through the years, down through the years.

The usual line from Meath. Always living in the past.

You need to get used to the fact that you are no longer relevant.

You did not get there on merit. You got destroyed in your provincial final. You got the handiest of all draws in the qualifiers. Now you have got beaten by cricket scores in your 2 super 8 games."
Wally, many of the Meath posters on this site are rampant traditionalists. Between populist statements lacking depth, long two page essays, and inbuilt cockiness, we have it all in Meath. They grew up watching Meath teams destroy, literally as well as figuratively, all around them and they don't know what else to expect, and they don't know what other role to fill.

I agree with your sentiments to an extent but I also think your tone is more aggressive than it necessarily needs to be. This is a young panel, they've had a good league, and I would say a "lucky" championship. They're not ready for the step up to Div.1 as things stand without some new blood and positional changes and may not be at all, time will tell. There's perhaps 5/8 teams of Meath's quality who are knocking on the door at the All-Ire Qtr. Final level. The real issue here is that there is a gulf between the top 4/5 and the chasing pack. I agree Meath as it stands aren't up to the challenge, but I struggle to see the alternative team that would do so much better at this stage of the championship. As fans of the sport, we'd do well to put aside the surface issues and focus on underlying problems.

Replying To Belclare:  "It's a very very valid point, I hope Kevin walsh watches that today, wonders how we were bet by Mayo and do the decent thing and resign... because that today was pure rubbish, Mayo constantly giving out about Galways blanket and yet they did it all game against a limited Meath team..."
did anybody tell you Galway are out because they got well beaten time to move on and as was said before mayo still the only connaught team standing going into last round take note

For a man with a self confessed obsessive hatred of all things Meath you certainly dedicate a lot of your time commenting on us.

Also if you believe we are irrelevant, then why do you spend all this time commenting on us? Do you secretly have a little hard on for us, bet you do ;-)

Well done to Mayo, the experience in the last 10-15mins was telling, they pressed on whereas we had nothing left to give.

Both goals were very disappointing to give away, Colgan who'd had one of this better days from the kickouts had a nightmare in final quarter culminatimg in a black card.

Mayo have a straight shootout now with Donegal in Castlebar, which will be very interesting, whereas Kerry will be coming to Navan to seal top spot.

It would be great to take a scalp and get a result against Kerry, although I have to admit, this seems very unlikely at this stage.

If that is the Boyle incident in fairness Boyle half poleaxed the Meath guy. Look closer. Of course verbals are not nice but Boyle believe me brings it on himself. Great servant but niggly in every sense.

Have to disagree on that incident.

The Meath forward got hit after the ball in a very dangerous tackle on his standing foot.

He could have been badly injured.

Conlon was was completely took out and kicked after he kicked the ball. Very funny coming from a Tyrone supporter though. Irrelevant in Gaelic Games until 2003 only won 3 all ireland's ever and 2 of them were using the back door.

I wouldn't bother with genuine responses to his nonsense Young_gael, he's already confessed his bitter hatred of all things Meath so you're wasting time trying to reason with him.

Replying To ponga:  "Mayo, despite a nine point win getting slated on here again. With some of the regular contributors on here that's to be expected due to an amount of bitterness and lack of football knowledge. However the stick Meath are getting is pathetic. A team having been in the doldrums for a long time is re-emerging and taking one step at a time. They will definitely be competitive in the coming seasons and the game will be the better for that."
Good post.

Meath are an emerging force, who need to work on their attacking game and kick out plan for next year.
Defensively they are tough/sound. I noticed yesterday and also in the previous match Ballybofey, entering the final quarter of the game it was a very tight match, then Meath seemed to hit wides and lose midfield at key moments, and subsequently allow the opposition to then string a few scores back to back to kill off the game in the last 10-20 minutes. The lack of depth on Meath's bench is definitely part of that, but they can work on that.

Mayo getting their usual media slack, but seem to be improving game by game. Can they beat Donegal and reach an All Ireland Semi final or Final? Yes, they essentially have an All Ireland QF knock-out match on McHale park home turf in 2 weeks time. Can Donegal go down there and get a win or draw? Yes, they have the players, the organisation etc to do it. Makes for a very interesting contest.

Replying To cuttothebone:  "In fairness I think Galway, Armagh and Kildare need to take along hard look at themselves when these 2 teams are able to progress further than either of us..
That game probably had the worst ever level of skill ever on display in croke park at this stage of the championship and we couldn't get this far.
O'Neill was man enough to fall on his sword, Walsh and Geezer, who I've alot of time for, and who both have proper quality players should really have questions to answer and starting to feel the pressure.."
Kildare are at their level this year. We are off the pace of the top few teams in the last 8 as we don't have a good enough squad and are missing forward talent. Having seen them in the league in Navan, against Dublin in Croker and on TV against Tyrone Kildare have better forwards than us this year but overall we are a better team, our full back and half back line is good. I think your delusional if you think the players Kildare had available this year would be capable of doing better than Meath in the super 8's.

If Boyle jumped into my standing while I was kicking a point it wouldn't be verbals he would get. One of the most dangerous tackles in the game when a player has his full weight on a standing leg. And Boyle lying on the ground hoping the ref wouldn't notice him shows how guilty he was. Think you might need a better grasp of the incident.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head there. Keeper and kickout strategy badly need work ahead of next year, need to find a midfielder from somewhere too and strengthen up there and we do need a few new forwards to liven things up. The likes of Conlon will improve next year too, shot selection and patience on the ball needs work, the wrong options were taken too much this year, shooting from bad angles / under pressure. Goal chances need to be taken too, lost count of the amount of goal chances we squandered in the past few games. We are also a bit naieve and nice still, don't have players with the edge that you need (polite way of putting it).

Fair and accurate post. Mayo are not finished, and Meath are emerging. It will take a year or two, but we getting there. And both these aspects seem to annoy some posters from a few counties.

True for you, Mayo have been getting away with this type of stuff for years, diving and mouthing to refs too, we are going to finish them off in 2 weeks time anyway so that will be the last you'll see of the boul Colm Boyle in Croker. enjoyed that goal he got in the first half of the 2016 final though I have to say.
