Kerry will fancy themselves to better that score difference.

Let's hope Donegal have plenty in the tank because they will need it all next week against Kerry. And to think some people said Kerry wouldn't get out of the group.. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 14/07/2019 17:11:12 2210816 Link 0 |

Ha, not quite. Was in Croker for the Hurling. The score I saw and thought was the full time result had only 3 points in it but evidently that wasn't actually the full time result. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 14/07/2019 18:07:52 2210844 Link 4 |
Just stopping off on way home great performance in third quarter and really should have put more daylight during our purple patch. But it's a learning experience for this very young team. Disappointing with end score. But we move on to mayo next week. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 14/07/2019 18:15:13 2210852 Link 3 |
A good performance for 60mins but ran out of steam. McHugh was best Donegal's player, has great pace and set up a lot of scores. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 14/07/2019 18:29:04 2210859 Link 6 |
Well done our lads and hard luck meath. Good exciting game until the last 10. Meath can build on this. Could beat Mayo next weekend if they convert their goal chances. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 14/07/2019 19:05:40 2210897 Link 2 |
The final scoreline flattered Donegal. Meath were in this game until about 5 minutes to go, they played some great stuff but just ran out of steam. Meath found themselves in a great position midway through the second half when 2 points up, they had a couple of chances to extend the lead but didnt take the and Donegal took over after that. The only real problem I can see with this Meath side is their kickouts, not good enough at this level but otherwise they were excellent.

Probably Donegal's toughest game so far. The final scoreline was certainly flattering. I thought Meath defended well and were the first team to keep Jamie Brennan relatively quiet. I did not see what happened in the warm ups but did Jamie pick up a knock? He was certainly receiving treatment right up to throw in and I felt he did not get to the tempo of the game. A few of Donegal's players suffered the same. However the final 10 minutes were very encouraging and the team showed good character. Huge improvement needed for next weekend. If Donegal give the Kerry forwards the same room given to Meath's they will be severely punished. Good to see Paddy step up again and Gallen making a real impact when coming on. Disgrace that himself and Meath's James Conlon denied right to play with their respective age groups in the under twenties. Best of luck to Meath looking forward. They can go into next weekend very optimistic. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2781 - 14/07/2019 21:49:34 2211037 Link 1 |
Yeah. Kick outs have been a problem all year. Cost us 3 points per game. But colgan is trying his best we have a excellent young keeper coming through but he still very young. We getting there. While I'm disappointed, some of the lads played really well, very disappointed with the amount of Meath fans who turned up, when we do become contenders again these games will be packed with bandwagons, sorry I support in good and bad times, and this young Meath team who are definitely on the way up deserved better than that. Sorry , rant over. On another note congratulations to donegal, I do sincerely hope you go all the way, your fans are a credit to you, and while me and family were severely outnumbered in the part of stand we were, you were voice full, but never derogatory and very humble in victory. A credit to gaa. Well done and I sincerely hope you win it out. Onto mayo with hope in our hearts Hon the royal. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 14/07/2019 21:50:39 2211038 Link 7 |
Not a bad prediction. Game was decided in final 15/20 mins and scoreline flattered Donegal. Meath will have a great chance next weekend

I would like to start by congratulating meath on a great display, I honestly didn't see it coming, the final score line flattered us. The most pleasing aspect of today's game was when meath posed a serious question, Donegal were able to answer it. This was another milestone in the development of this young team. totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 916 - 15/07/2019 00:06:48 2211101 Link 0 |
Can some of the Meath posters confirm if James Conlon was eligible for your u20s squad this year? HEREBENJI (Donegal) - Posts: 421 - 15/07/2019 01:20:27 2211112 Link 0 |
Amazed they didn't mention it on the Sunday Game. But the Donegal subs made a huge contribution in the last 10 mins. We couldn't compete with them. We didn't have the same strength in depth. Some very good footballers coming through in Donegal. Very strong panel. HighKings (Meath) - Posts: 271 - 15/07/2019 07:39:02 2211132 Link 2 |

Red all day and twice on a Sunday. Have seen too many broken legs and ACLs/MCLs snapped to give any sympathy for the defender. Very lucky he didn't injure himself badly.

No, he is 21 this year

No he's 21, the guy that came on Shane Walsh is 18 and was eligible, but he needed to concentrate on his leaving cert so the u20 management were reluctant to pick him, so Andy gave him the call up to senior.
