No way have Dublin better forwards than Meath and most would admit that without B.Brogan they would struggle.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 21/05/2011 11:18:10 936106 Link 0 |
To be fair these players would be too proud to line out for a crap team like Meath at this stage of their lives. Nick (Wexford) - Posts: 1100 - 21/05/2011 11:22:24 936110 Link 0 |
This is typical of what banty done with monaghan, relying on older players and trying to squeeze the life out of them. He will probably do the same with Graham Geraghty. Even if he does play well is he going to be around to play for meath for the next few years. Banty said "I'm not looking for birth certs" and never did with monaghan and that cause he never give to many young players a chance and thats why this year we eventually got a new look team. Its a wonder hes not trying to bring back the last full all ireland squad to try to win something! Muineachain76 (Monaghan) - Posts: 180 - 21/05/2011 11:53:07 936143 Link 0 |

Going back to the league?? Come on you know better than that!! Most of Dublins games where in Croke Park,big open spaces when teams are not fit!! ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 21/05/2011 12:27:35 936178 Link 0 |
A lot of Dubd wouldn't even have Quinn on the Dublin team... Only B.Brogan and Mcm would be on the Meath forward line.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 21/05/2011 12:30:53 936184 Link 0 |

meath posters seem to be a bit deluded as regards their team , reilly and sheridan are the only players that are proven top class players , possibly shane orourke , the rest are average , brays had one good season , farrell is hot and cold, paddy orourke and gilseanan are unproven , queeney isnt great , at the end of the day meath have to many forwards who are of the same mode , orourke , sheridan , orourke and queeney are all more or less the same reilly is a class act and gives so much to meath , what seperates kerry is they have forward who all do different things , dec osullivan is a fantastic ball carrier , galvin is a breaking ball master and leader , donaghy is a ball winner , darran osullivan is the speed merchant gooch is the finisher , walsh is the work horse , thers a huge imbalance within the meath forward line at the end of the day stekhli (Dublin) - Posts: 3121 - 21/05/2011 13:00:31 936216 Link 0 |
Yeah you know its the championship when the "Geraghty makes comeback" story gets wheeled out, if its through he'll have to be wheeled out anyway. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4957 - 21/05/2011 13:04:12 936220 Link 0 |
sligo - galway replay was also excellent , connacht and munster final were fantastic games , cork - dublin as well , the all ireland was also a great spectacle , you guys dont know what you are talking about when you are saying gaelic is boring as your just basing it on one game ,soccer should have a whole pile of rule changes based on the barca v real semi final in the champions league yeah? stekhli (Dublin) - Posts: 3121 - 21/05/2011 13:09:32 936227 Link 0 |
Joe Sheridan is not that outstanding Stekhli. I cannot remember a big game where he played well, perhaps the Mayo Quarter-Final two years ago. But most of his best championship performances tend to come early in the championship, at provincial venues and against lesser opposition. By the way, he hasn't been playing that well recently for county, and by all accounts, club as well. I think he is just one of those players who likes to play off-the-cuff and that is why Meath fans have warmed to him so much. By no means a bad player, but I don't think he is as crucial to Meath's chances as a lot of people think. Bray, for example, is far superior.

Meath do have the best selection of forwards in leinster,the creativity to them can be awful,they often have to feed on scraps.. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13655 - 21/05/2011 13:22:50 936236 Link 0 |

I definitely have to agree with Loyal, some Meath posters on here are too deluded to face up to the reality that we are no where near the top tier at the moment. Our forwards are probably the most over-hyped bunch of players in the country and have only proved their attacking prowess in one game last year which was against Dublin. Lads, don't embarrass yourselves and the county with such ridiculous statements as to suggest that our forwards would walk onto most top teams because the reality is, is that we have about 2 at most, serious forwards up front at the moment but the rest aren't really cutting it..

meath always play better in th proper games in th summer so we wil c who has the best forwards then meathalltheway (Meath) - Posts: 789 - 21/05/2011 14:00:49 936273 Link 0 |
Banty has his thinkin cap on... thats a serious boost for the younger lads to be trainin and playin with the likes of G.G. takes focus of the players that meath will be expecting big performances from. Also puts pressure on to step up to the plate when you have a bench that can take scores all day..... even tho the forwards meath have are more than able!!......
