Replying To Proudroyal: "That is a big coup if true.Would make sense fitzmaurice wouldn't have to be at every training session so wouldn't be travelling up and down all the time.He is very knowledgeable guy who knows his stuff and with o Rourke s passion and knowledge of Meath football and Bray and Callahan also working with the forwards it looks promising.You would imagine every player in the county would be chomping at the bit to play for the management team?The best of luck to them if it's true."

Replying To Thejoeshow: "I got this from a source that wouldn't be likely incorrect" one thing for certain....we wont be out of the national headlines next year...hopefully, the news on us will be positive Thelongwoodslasher (Meath) - Posts: 385 - 25/07/2022 15:28:59 2434313 Link
Replying To southmeathgael: "Did you even read my post" There's a split if you are from the North of the county and ya have a chip on your shoulder and ya think world is against ya, the south of the county view meath as a whole and are happy to have a team of North meath men if they are the best players. southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 777 - 25/07/2022 13:47:18 ================================================================================================== Replying To Jinxie: "On the button Brian. There are plenty of splits in the county, but this tripe that its down to North Meath gaels is rubbish. Thats the sort of midset that stops the real issues getting resolved. Like kids pointing the finger over and back, its them, not its the others..." Exactly Jinixe, I'm born and bred Kells and I couldn't care where a lad or girl is from, so long as they want to pull on the Meath jersey they have my support. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1780 - 25/07/2022 14:12:57 ================================================================================================ So I've a chip on my shoulder do I. The worlds against me is it.... The above post clearly shows I don't but keep believing your little fantasy's. On what should be a great day for the county, with the news that's circulating and the county board doing something good, as you always do, you have to drag it back to a north v south debate which doesn't exist. It's about all you talk about on here. Maybe take a break and go out in the sunshine and think it's a good day for my county and everyone's happy with the news that's out there and smile. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 25/07/2022 15:30:47 2434315 Link
Replying To brian: "Once bitten, twice shy, but looking at everything that's being put in place, and ratification being a formality, you'd have to say that's great work by the county board and Committee. You can fully understand why they've been as tight lipped and played their cards so close to their chests. O'Rourke, Fitzmaurice, Bray and Callaghan Buckley and Eivers That's a top class management and coaching ticket, Bray and Callaghan have time to soak up everything they can from it, Fitzmaurice can assist with the defence, and it's really putting it on the players now to perform. They can't have any excuses if that's what they have looking after them." I was only just saying there I had full faith in the CB to get it right …. ;-) Thejoeshow (Meath) - Posts: 687 - 25/07/2022 15:31:10 2434316 Link
How good is it to see some positive news for a change. I didn't think he would want it after being overlooked so many times but glad he still has the fire to do it. I personally think its a very good appointment as he knows all the issues we have as a county, understands the internal politics game and knows the talents involved at everyclub. It can only be a good thing. I just hope he can unearth some more talent and start to bring some belief back to the county Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 631 - 25/07/2022 15:32:45 2434317 Link

Replying To Thejoeshow: "I got this from a source that wouldn't be likely incorrect" Ah dont doubt you for a second Joe but hearing different rumours over the last few weeks would have you doubtful of any news.That is some lineup and credit to the county board for it (and no doubt the new sponsor)for getting them on board.Its hard not to get excited and hopefully we will be on the up and closer to top teams in the near future.

Replying To Thejoeshow: "I was only just saying there I had full faith in the CB to get it right …. ;-)" love it Joe...in fairness i'll have a few pieces of that humble pie you're eating too , as i dished out a fair few comments on their ineptitude in the past, meself Thelongwoodslasher (Meath) - Posts: 385 - 25/07/2022 15:44:00 2434324 Link
I welcome this appointment and I expect we will get something different from Colm with considerable variety in his approach. Expect a much more attack focused strategy where players will be encouraged to take an occasional risk. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1066 - 25/07/2022 15:46:25 2434325 Link
Replying To Thelongwoodslasher: "love it Joe...in fairness i'll have a few pieces of that humble pie you're eating too , as i dished out a fair few comments on their ineptitude in the past, meself" There's a not enough pie around for half of us here Longwood! Wait till it's all sealed and delivered but fair play to all involved Thejoeshow (Meath) - Posts: 687 - 25/07/2022 15:57:08 2434331 Link
Great news regarding orourke and his team. Best of luck to them. Hopefully he gets the full support from the whole county regardless of who he picks. southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 890 - 25/07/2022 15:57:22 2434332 Link

Replying To Thejoeshow: "Ah we had it sussed weeks ago brian" ;) exactly joe, fair play that you didn't let it out of the bag like. I almost did a week or so ago ;) #brianandjoewereintheknow :) brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 25/07/2022 16:47:13 2434360 Link
Replying To Thejoeshow: "There's a not enough pie around for half of us here Longwood! Wait till it's all sealed and delivered but fair play to all involved" I'll bake up a fresh pie for myself and eat some, i gave them plenty of doubt in the last couple of weeks, based on what has happened previously, hopefully this is them turning the corner. Think the fact they have done all this, there were no leaks at any stage and was done and dusted before the championships were in full swing is a great sign. I know there's been a few games already in junior and intermediate but the appointment of a person from within the county can only have helped. As you say joe, lets get its signed, sealed and delivered and then I'll tuck into the humble pie ;) brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 25/07/2022 16:52:53 2434363 Link
Replying To southmeathgael: "Great news regarding orourke and his team. Best of luck to them. Hopefully he gets the full support from the whole county regardless of who he picks." Well said, hopefully every player gets a clean slate and makes themselves available. If some don't choose to play that's fair enough. I think to be fair to Colm he will pick the best players available to him regardless of if they're from in the immortal words of Boylan.... Oldcastle, Dunboyne, Ballinabrackey or Laytown. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 25/07/2022 16:56:35 2434364 Link

Yep he will pick the best players regardless of where they are from. As did Andy and as did the 5 managers before him since Seany Boylan finished.

Best of luck to COR, good appointment by county board , hopefully county gets behind him and we can start to rebuild an empire , but it wont be easy.On the sponsorship whispers are that Devenish have pulled the plug! Oldsam (Meath) - Posts: 30 - 25/07/2022 17:43:48 2434388 Link

Congratulations to the people who took the opportunity to accept the need for a new beginning... Total support to Colm in his attempts to instill a can do culture again, and where continous improvement means we take charge of our own destiny. Great to see that the sticking plaster solutions were by passed. Well done to all. ! nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1227 - 25/07/2022 18:24:33 2434406 Link
