Interesting interview with Kevin Reilly.

Like I previously posted, beware of a wounded animal...

Also, I think it is shocking for any player to get social media abuse after a loss / bad performance etc.
It is not even as if they were favourite to beat the Dubs for heavens sake, although being tipped to win or not, is still no excuse for that some of abuse.

Keoghan V Clarke?? battle could decide it. Fancy Meath to get a goal or two. Meath just

Fionn

I agree with you,but if I was a player,no way would I have a twitter account... Also one of the posts that you can see,clearly wasn't from a Meath supporter..

Fair point Ziggy.

Armagh's gameplan will be simple. They will retreat in big numbers to the 50, get men behind the ball and force a turnover. They will then try and break quickly before Meath can get numbers back. How will Meath counteract this? I think Armagh will win by 3-5 points.

I just feel the management and team will raise their game and arnagh could be in for a long afternoon.

Come on forever. Get behind the team man.
Yes mod has made mistakes but so has everyone.
On the white side. Ahh sure there has to be always optimism. For what its worth I threw a few euro on a double Leinster victory on Saturday. Think if you keep it tight for 50 you'll win in end.

If Meath play to their potential, they can click, score goals and beat teams well. But it also can go the other way and we get the odd hammering like the Leinster Final due to tactical naivety. Apart from Clarke, who certainly is one of the best forwards around, Meath shouldn't have a lot to fear. What I would fear is that McGeeney and Grimley will have a system to deal with us while we are 2 dimensional in our approach. Dyas and Tony Kernan are good but perhaps big game experience in Croke Park will also help Meath. Playing in Croker should slight favour Meath, but Armagh certainly do have the momentum. Really is 50-50, a referring decision or a small error will tip the balance.

Meath should win. I can't see us bean beat.

Ciaran McKeever is a big loss to Armagh

Yeah its looking like Armagh needn't show up at this stage. Walkover for Meath.

Whats wrong with McKeever.

The stats for the 6/7 day turn around are very much in favour of the qualifier team, so the extra week will work to Meath's advantage. However, that defeat to Dublin probably will have a lasting effect on the young heads. Armagh going about their business in a good manner and to win this, just.

Is Keiran McKeever out?? Lot of rumours circulating. Would be serious blow to Armagh as he is one of their very few go to men!

The worrying thing from a meath point of view is they completely ran out of legs with 20mins to go against Kildare and after 25mins against Dublin. I don't think they have a mobility around the middle that you need to play in Croke park O'Rourke, Meade just don't have the legs for midfield Gillespie is a real big loss for them.

I don't think Armagh are any great shakes a bit like Monaghan they have one top quality forward. But one thing they will have with any McGeeney trained team is fitness and power this is were they might just have the edge on Meath.

Meath will definitely have a kick in them I was nervous enough before the leinster final but was really surprised with meath performance on the day. They have really Dangerous forwards in Bray and Newman and G reilly is due a big game.

Armagh have all the momentum and meath have something to prove feel it adds up to a close game with Armagh to win by 2pts.

Meath without a fair few lads too. Don't think it makes difference. The teams are pretty even but meath just have that bit more up front if Newman or Reilly click meath will win.

Cannot see anything other than an Armagh victory.

Do not see how Meath can improve from their horror show in the Leinster Final (tactically clueless, awful passing, terrible shooting and out on their feet after 20 minutes) whereas Armagh are on a roll and have the momentum and confidence built up from a decent qualifier run.

Here's hoping Royaldunne that you collect on that bet.

With Mckeever ruled out with a foot injury i would have to make Meath favourites now. He is THE key player for us, leader of the defence and team overall.
Hopefully A Kernan comes into the starting lineup (should be nailed on anyway) and brendan donaghy has a huge game from centre half back in mckeevers absence.
