Opposion poor to day ,nevertheless i found us frustrating in first half slow cumbersome.against the wind. Improved second half,some good play especially COS who was my man of the match...Menton thats more like it. Toher earned his way for the next match at least for workrate alone. Carry likewise. Think some posters here a bit harsh on Shane Mc entee shows promise at least. Do not see a place for Sheridan if Newman returns.We need him or another for frees. All in all improved, but new players wanted in some areas . and concerned that some of our smaller players may find the going too tough when the chips are down nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1227 - 12/02/2017 19:52:48 1955541 Link 0 |
Seriously where did they pull that ref out of ?? He was consulting the line man and umpires flat out. At one stage he ran to the linesman who was 50 yards away and the ref himself was only 20 yards away. Could he not make a decision himself ? Anyway lucky he didn't come in to play. bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 12/02/2017 19:54:34 1955544 Link 1 |
Fair point ! An auld fella today saying when Keoghan made a mistake "a good footballer wouldn't do that " and began to say how he was "roasted" a good few times! And in his day they would do this that and the other!! Too much gym work not enough ball work!! Bla bla bla

Ah yeah the auld lads like to say always "Let it in!" under any circumstances. :) Against the wind in the first half we had a lot of the ball.The movement/support for the player with the ball could have been better though and it was second half. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 12/02/2017 20:02:00 1955555 Link 3 |
you surely thought Menton was superb?

Hindsight is a great thing, I think last week can be put down to a number of things, firstly we underperforming, secondly we took Kildare for granted, today v cork proved they better than any of us thought. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 12/02/2017 20:07:20 1955560 Link 0 |
Any day we beat Derry by 15 is a good days work seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2151 - 12/02/2017 20:18:58 1955573 Link 7 |
Yeah that was unecessary, and if they do kick it in long and Sheridan or Lenihan don't win the ball because they are surrounded by 3 men they are "useless". The game was close, it was the first half and we were against the wind, sometimes you have to keep handpassing it short. Anyone know when Harnan and J McEntee are due back? Good to see AMac isn't rushing them back though.

everyone giving out about fordes discipline ,the way I see it is finally a meath man ready to give all for the jersey and not get bullied or his teammates get bullied,and i noticed o'sullivan has started to get abit of bite to add to his skill. loyalroyal15 (Meath) - Posts: 56 - 12/02/2017 20:25:44 1955579 Link 0 |

Yeah sure no bother let him get sent off every game! But he's fighting for the shirt, I like Alan but simply he needs to be more disciplined ! Imagine a leinster final and he floors someone !

I also enjoyed Sheridan smashing a Derry lad out over the line.Menton also did this.

This place is a mad house one decent half against a pale shodow of a Derry team and suddenly it's the start of something great. Down will the easiest away fixture. If this management team are even half as good as the hype it'll be a win. pauk123 (USA) - Posts: 189 - 12/02/2017 20:54:46 1955613 Link 0 |
Do you not think Sheridan was better than Lenihan today? Lenihan missed 3 free's that shouldn't be missed and was poor from general play I thought but he was decent last week.

But he didn't floor anybody.

Yeah I heard something similar beside me. Look I'm no spring chicken myself, but I do realise things move on and change, if it's keep ball they have to play at times then so be it.

imo the red today was harsh enough, but when have we seen a meath player like him in last few years who are willing to stand up for himself and team mates without been pushed around. if that game took place 2 years ago do you think we would have bossed derry around like we did in the second half today NO,we would of been pushed around and thats what i see in this up and coming meath team they wont be pushed around anymore, listen this is just my opinion but in my eyes some fans have ben turning soft ,is it not about time a meath man wasnt afraid to stand up for his teammates and himself.

Huh???? Not sure where you getting that idea from, we discussing today's game, but everyone knows tougher tests lay ahead. One game at a time. But it's all a building process
