I'll give you Tones, however Simonstown are Navan. Again though if you stick to the context it's not overly important. Your point about underage is nonsense as well, any transfers are an exception, not the norm, so 99.9% of Keegan winners will play underage with their club, it's not North Meath exclusive. More fantasy.

Somebody is obviously confused- If you have a quick look at the map of Meath you will find that the Tones and indeed Simonstown are both in North Meath (that's if you divide the county in two) and by what logic can anyone say that the Tones is a Navan club. Is Blackhall Gaels a Dunboyne club I think not. every club in the county adjoins at least another club and in some instances as many as maybe 5 different clubs. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 06/06/2017 13:42:30 1995580 Link 10 |

That percentage will take a fair tumble if Dunboyne win it this year. And a vast number of O Mahoneys keegan winning sides did not play underage with them. Bective have a lot of Keegan cup medals you know

I don't split the county in two, that is for the lunatics who think there is some ongoing Anti North Meath agenda. Simonstown to me are a Navan club, not that it bothers me in any way. If you are saying they are a 'North Meath Club', it backs up my point again as I cannot remember the last Meath team with no Simonstown representatives. Tones are a club outside Navan who have also had players on our county team which has reflected their club success, which if you stick to the point I was making shows the post I was responding to, which I've still had no reply to, is nonsense.

Listen we would all love to see players from our own Club on the Meath team, I remember the celebrations in our wee club when one of our own brought Sam for a visit in 87 & 88. It was a very proud night for everyone involved in the club. You travel anywhere in Ireland and tall to GAA folk and mention any county players from your club it does give you a sense of pride. But in reality when a team take to any pitch wearing a Meath jersey then they have my full support. When they win I am very proud. Naturally you would question why any club would have 5 - 6 players on a Meath team especially if they haven't won a the league or Keegan Cup in a number of years. But when the same players go out and give 100% for Meath and Meath win then in reality it isn't a issue. Since the foundation of the county board it has always appeared that for a player from North of Navan to make it on to the Meath panel they have to be exceptional and many of them have been; Martin O Connell, PJ Gillic, Brian Stafford, Jody Devine, Ollie Murphy, Dathi Regan, Cian Ward, to name but a few and I think that is the grip many North Meath people have weather justified or not is a different issue. anto_meath (Meath) - Posts: 108 - 06/06/2017 14:58:31 1995655 Link 0 |

My argument is you need to get a fair rattle at getting a run place on team.have no problem with any Dunboyne ratoath lads on team 8 from ratoath 4 from Dunboyne I think.

do you know how silly you sound It is childish stuff , not every club have a player good enough to be on panel and some have more Ratoath have 7 on panel but if you ask a ratoath club man they wish they didn't as it is killing our club senior team We have to trust in the management to do their best with picking the best players available and that's that Stop second guessing them the fact that the biggest population in meath is in south meath and it is no surprise the team reflects that head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 513 - 06/06/2017 16:16:52 1995729 Link 0 |

I'm not from ashbourne so iv no bias but I certainly think they have 2 or 3 defenders that should be on the Meath panel, Conor carton Shane melia darragh McGovern all are easily good enough particularly when you look at the lack of defensive options on our bench redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 06/06/2017 17:20:01 1995788 Link 0 |

Out of curiosity, what clubs are "North Meath" clubs. Kells is generally accepted as North Meath. How far south of that does it go? Kilmainham? Cortown? Slane anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 06/06/2017 17:39:06 1995804 Link 10 |

'You can't win derbies with donkeys' as the great man Babs said himself. There's a pool of talent untouched in the navan clubs. I didn't realise only south Meath players were up for selection too. I was startled when I first heard the panel....The writing will be on the wall soon enough.... drum.git (Meath) - Posts: 11 - 06/06/2017 19:12:58 1995896 Link 0 |

Is this crap still going on? F the clubs, the vast majority in Meath are crap anyway as has been seen in Leinster since Dunboyne won it, the annual embarrassment of the Meath senior championship winner been humiliated by a club with less Tha a catchment of a few hundred is one we can do without thank you very much. Anyone ask themselves why the only two players who would walk onto any county team in country are from intermediate clubs? (1 be senior next year) there's your answer, Andy McEntee has picked the best in county, over 60 players tried out now be it through injury or not been good enough not one that is on Meath team is non deserving and those who are not are not deserving to be on team either. End of discussion. Get behind your county, and don't give a rats ass if they from your most hated club rival, we are all Meath, not navan kells or whatever, cop on and support county. And forget about clubs they from. Hon the Royal royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 06/06/2017 19:29:52 1995914 Link 1 |

Most times I would think all this stuff is just a wind up, but then I have to endure listening to a man well into his 70's spouting the most awful shite whilst sitting behind me in the stand last Sunday. According to this mature and learned man a lot of our play last Sunday resembled juvenile or Junior B football, McEntee took off the wrong players, of course there is a bias to south Meath clubs and this elderly dude knew for a fact that a vendetta was out on some players from certain clubs, in fact the only time this fella opened his trap was to give out, I never actually once heard him praise or celebrate a score or good play, it was utterly remarkable and but for his age he would have got a calming puck to the jaw or at least a sound verbal ticking off but I don't have a habit of elder abuse so despite all I just bit my lip and focussed on the game. I've said it before but sometimes our own so called supporters amaze me, when I travel down to a match it's certainly nice to hear positive or encouraging talk from supporters but Christ lately a lot of supporters seem to have gone very ratty and peevish with this club thing seemingly on the top of a lot of people's agendas. Suck it up lads and either support the team, squad and management that's there or don't bother, if there was never a Ratoath or south Meath man on the panel it wouldn't effect me, I support the county whether the majority of players are north, south, east or west, once the men there are willing to bust themselves in a Meath jersey that will do me, and I hope that mature gent behind me last Sunday learns to enjoy his football and the teams efforts before he shuffles off into the sunset.

Excellent post Richie. I wish they would just not go to games. And be assured that old whinger and many other like him will be the ones that demands tickets if we go long way this year or next. It was a Long time from a member of one of my clubs to get on Meath senior panel. Yet I went and actually it never crossed my mind what club gg, Giles, Murphy, orurke, Stafford were from.

if north meath clubs developed better players it would be great for the county,but we currently have the best players in meath on the panel. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 06/06/2017 21:27:48 1996044 Link 5 |

Stop second guessing thought this a forum for free speech.mick odowd was ridiculed from pillar to post here by most of the posters on Here.he had same team as Andy damn all change as far I can see.I'm voicing my opinon that's all same as ye.not make f..k all difference to how Meath goes this year.I support my county same as anyone if I disagree with something I say it same praise it.mcentee has brought an intensity to our game the man deserves his 3 years or wotever he gets.but to hear lads say f the clubs is sickening.there the supporter that we all know shouting pure muck at lads doin there best for Meath with no idea the commitment there making.one bad game and its go home you useless this that have beside plenty them don't even know names of most the players.leave it at that enjoy the football for however long we last.

Lay off the sauce. That post is barely intelligible. You're the only one here criticising our manager for apparently not picking enough north Meath men and intimating that it's only because he's from south Meath (y'know, despite him living in Nobber in the past).
