After Sundays games and with a wee bit of luck Armagh would have been off the foot of the table, the other results went our way and with Tyrone on Saturday evening its going to be a tall order but I think Armagh will get a result in the next 2 games so Fermanagh, Meath and laois need to get results to stay in the Division youngfella27 (Armagh) - Posts: 110 - 15/03/2016 09:16:50 1834952 Link 0 |
People have been talking about Armagh,Meath and Laois,but Fermanagh could easily go down too.Could be some game in Laois on the final day,if they and Meath both have to win to stay up. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 15/03/2016 12:54:29 1835064 Link 0 |
Meath are going through a difficult phase at present, yet it's only a matter of time before they rise again.... traditionally Meath would wipe the floor with the likes of Armagh, or Cavan... in fact they have far more senior All Ireland's than the much lauded Tyrone.

Speaking with a few Meath Gael friends here in Galway while many people mirror Meath football with us in terms of when both were last successful at senior (we both agree on this) the genesis of same is different. As rightly pointed out earlier in this thread Meath's underage record (in fairness certainly not the only yardstick for senior success) is poor unlike Galway. Also Galway, albeit dominated by Corofin in recent years, would apparently have a stronger club scene than the Royals. We have other issues in Galway such as the relatively equal and sometimes divisive dual issue in terms of resources being made available by the Co. Board. Galway may have a big population but there are large tracts of the city who are indifferent about GAA and this sometimes is missed when you compare the huge interest in hurling for example in Waterford or Kilkenny city. Moving aside from the Meath Galway thing I am not surprised by the rise of the Rossies and to a lesser extent Cavan with a lot of provincial u21 success behind them. Cavan is even a bit more remarkable as some Breffini posters rightly or wrongly were calling for the manager's head only a year ago and yet seem to be flying so far this season. Incidentally Meath like Cavan kept faith with their manager with very different results. Many posters are not really rating Galway as promotion hopefuls now and may be correct but the last two games have definitely indicated a never say die attitude with the Galway footballers that seemed to be missing in recent years. Whether or which Connacht will be closer this year as league form tends to fall into championship form going by the majority of recent years experience. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1947 - 16/03/2016 13:00:27 1835370 Link 0 |

amazing....all of a sudden a stream of posts - in my view- nailing why Meath are where they are DD10 (Cavan) - Posts: 130 - 16/03/2016 13:41:16 1835382 Link 0 |
Ohtobearossie I would add that Galway and Ros have been as consistent as each other in u21. Ye have won 4 of the last 6 provincial titles in Connacht while we won 2 all Irelands in the 2 years we won Connacht titles within those 6 years. If you look at the provincial final last season it was an unreal game in Tuam with only 3 points separating the sides. Even as recent as last Friday night only 3 points separated the sides in a close affair. Your general point though is well noted that on the law of averages good underage has more currency at senior level than the reverse. Meath football needs a root and branch which is not something that can be changed overnight. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1947 - 16/03/2016 13:44:15 1835386 Link 0 |
