Replying To nobull456:  "Yes I think Andy would think that was a poor call on his part. McMahon is now a hard worker. No room for any player standing back now. Loyalty can only go so far Again Andy is wiser now and will act accordingly no doubt!"

Replying To Reco:  "Brennan injured ??"

Replying To royaldunne:  "Well said. 100% agree"

Replying To Ashrules:  "In Fairness to players. As neither sidelines or frees are taken from the ground anymore youngsters no longer kick balls off the ground. This means that It is very difficult for lads to step up like Andy Colgan and be able to take kick outs well consistently.
Try taking a ball out to a pitch and kicking it off the ground and see how many good kicks you will get out of 10 . it would be an eye opener"

Replying To Eri:  "yea agree with alot of the points that have been said.

Firstly: agreed about the fans. Very bad show from Meath fans yesterday. I dont buy the 6 hour round trip cop out, sure we all had to that! I noticed especially that of the fans who were there, generally they were over 30 age group. So few young people coming to support the team in recent years.

Thought our backs played extremely well for the most part. I know the scoreline suggests otherwise but that was a blitz in the last 10 minutes to be fair.

Havent seen it mentioned at all but for me Gallaghers back card was a turning point. We had just got on top, you could feel the pressure around the stadium on Donegal and then he did that, they got a free, he (who I thought had a solid game) was taken off, defence had to shuffle abit, they scored and the momentum changed.

Kick outs, discussed to death, but they were a killer and resulted in at least 3 points for Donegal

I thought near the end, there was a bit of panic in the forward line, going for goal, whilst had they had just focused abit, taken their points ( before the 2nd Donegal goal) they would have been level or close to level again.

I really like Conlon, and hes done well, but I just dont think he should be starting yet. Better impact I think. I reckon give Walsh a crack at it next sunday.

Graham Reilly, used to have alot of time for him, dont anymore, simple. Hes not up for it, he wanders around waiting for the ball to be given, no pace, no will and shouldnt get on for a game like we had yesterday. And for anyone who says sure who else, well my answer is anyone, thats how bad O thought he was."

Replying To Chaisleain_Abu:  "If Gallagher had not taken that black card , Meath would have been in big trouble …… He literally took it for the team"

Replying To Eri:  "Yea absolutely, had to do it, but I just personally thought it changed the game for us..."

Replying To men_of_49:  "Yes agreed on that, the black card was a massive turning point. No doubt about it Gallagher had to take him down. The funny thing is we probably would have made a change at the back anyway, Gallagher and Lavin were doing very well but we were clearly tiring. It just felt like the black card gave Donegal that extra impetus. It certainly lifted the crowd and from that point on Donegal really upped the tempo."
