Ye didnt score in the whole of the second half - I think ye were 8 points up at half time.

Ollie what has Limerick beating Meath by 20 points at one stage this year got to do with Meath outscoring Louth by 1-12 to 0-0 in a 2nd half of football???? Meath were absolutely awful this year, was the worst Meath team I've ever seen take to the field, attitude was all wrong and it was clear the management had lost the dressing room.
I never really knew how much Louth folk despise the Meath footballers until I moved to Drogheda. After asking around and checking out the stories behind it, it seems there are a few stories that have accumulated the hatred. It all began when the All Ireland winning team of '57 were driving back through Gormanstown and the Meath fans hung black flags out the windows. This has never been forgotten and ever since Meath have hardly gone out of the way to endeer themselves to Louth folk, what with winning numerous Leinsters and All irelands at all ages, coming from 4 points down in injury time to win in a Championship match and most recently coming from an 8 point deficit at one stage to win by 11!!!!

Meath have had so much success in the last 20 years whereas Louth have had very little. Naturally with close neighbours, jealousy sets in.

I don't think it has soo much to do with football, we simply don't like meath people just one of them things, listening to two headers like Hector & Tiernan would be a good example.
