So what do we make of the team? Interesting to see Brian Sheridan at 14,Hannigan gets the nod in goal. No Newman or Harnan on the bench suggests that they are up to the fitness level yet. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 03/02/2017 08:01:42 1951411 Link 4 |
The team is in to play Kildare bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 03/02/2017 08:16:03 1951414 Link 0 |
Strong enough team. Hope Wallace can bring some heat this year. Full back would be my only concern. has the potential Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 631 - 03/02/2017 08:18:08 1951415 Link 0 |
i'm extremely surprised reilly is playing. surely he should be concentrating on the club with an all ireland final in just over 2 weeks time? thoughts gents? srgt_slaughter (Meath) - Posts: 462 - 03/02/2017 09:02:04 1951425 Link 0 |
It's good to see Hannigan start in goals, it shows there is competition for places and he's not just going to pick players on reputation. It's a strong team and I'm confident of winning. We need Sheridan or Lenihan to play well for us to win I think. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 03/02/2017 09:08:47 1951426 Link 6 |
Strong enough team, maybe thought POR would get the nod in goals but perhaps not fully fit. Big fan of Forde, glad he's involved. GlasgowRoyal (Meath) - Posts: 293 - 03/02/2017 09:12:01 1951430 Link 0 |
Not surprised to be honest. If he played the full game against its Kildare. He was always going to start against Kildare.

If he was played in an O'Byrne Cup final 1 week out from All-Ireland semi-final then I don't think it's any surprised he's been picked for this game.

Not surprised at all really. Cant sit around for two weeks doing a bit of club training. If he was not going to play every game for Meath he would not be captain. He has to risk injury now but I also think he needs to be a bit more wise In the fact he has to know that other teams are going to be out to target him.

Serious lack of fire power for me, unless Lenihan hits the heights he is capable of I don't see us getting enough scores to beat Kildare. Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 1319 - 03/02/2017 09:26:59 1951439 Link 6 |
yes but i was surprised at that..how often do you see counties with clubs regularly in the all ireland club series play without these club players until their out, im not a colmcilles man but if it was my club id expect him to concentrate on the club for the 2 weeks

Four Ratoath players start, and another on the bench. Some people around here are not going to be happy! anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 03/02/2017 09:36:42 1951448 Link 6 |
I am delighted Jack Hannigan starts, I hope he given some decent protection and dose well. Haven't seen Sheridan in years so I am not sure. He must going well in training to start. Here's hoping he dose well as we lacking big time here. I am guessing Eamon Wallace is not going to play corner forward, He must be trying some sort of 2 man F F line. Yep I am guessing Harnan is injured. He was one of top 3 performers last year. He must not be fit enough. No Newman not sure what the story is there that's a loss it would be nice have him on the bench at least I very surprised Conor Downey dose not start, if your going by the O'Byrne cup form he was a top performer. He is very unlucky not to start. Also I am not big fan of Power, Downey offer's a lot more in attack IMO. I can see Downey forcing his way in to the team though. Good to Paddy Kennelly starting, he looked during the during the OBC except against Louth where he was tried at FF and it didn't work out, But it was worth a shot. Where is not Bryan Mc Mahon ? bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 03/02/2017 09:41:03 1951450 Link 0 |
Is paddy not injured? I had heard he was. The team is around expected lines. Andy must be seeing something more from the midfielders in training than we saw against Louth or is seeing very little from the rest of his options. I am a bit meh about McGill at full back but hopefully he will prove to be the answer there. oldsam_newsam (Meath) - Posts: 638 - 03/02/2017 09:49:11 1951451 Link 0 |

Surprising lack of posts about the managers son starting center back. I'd like to get peoples opinion on this, happy he gets the chance but is it deserved? redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 03/02/2017 11:30:14 1951482 Link 1 |
What has been his son got to do with it? Silly comment , he would play regardless who was manager

Agree 100%. If we can't release a player for a few league games we are not in a great place. In Crossmaglen's time at the top Armagh had to do without the Crossmaglen players but I noticed in recent years that there were less and less of their players involved with the county does this suggest that county managers are less and less tolerant of clubs. If this is the case it is a very sad day.

He would play regardless who was manager despite never coming close to featuring under odowd, as I said I'm happy he gets the chance but not sure he deserves it, conor Downey looked excellent in the O'Byrne cup and Harnan is a better player than mcentee from what iv seen the last few years redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 03/02/2017 12:18:15 1951509 Link 0 |
