It is sad that your assumption for Provincials winners are probably right, although I'd slightly favour Donegal against Tyrone. I didn't realise the draw was made already all the way to the final though... Is it definitely the case (Q finals permitting) that the winners of Leinster would play Ulster, etc? tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/11/2016 12:25:18 1933552 Link 0 |
From a Limerick Point of view with two new managers the best we can hope for is some progression from the relative low points we are at: 73forever (Limerick) - Posts: 89 - 11/11/2016 12:58:44 1933567 Link 0 |
Yeah tiobraid, it's still the 3 year rule around the provincial finalists squaring off against each other in the semi's should they win their quarter finals keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/11/2016 13:12:52 1933575 Link 0 |

Cillian O'Sullivan, is in the Meath senior team from that minor all ire final. He was delayed due to serious injury, he is a outstanding player, Harry Rooney is also in as is Harnan, very good mix of youth, the average age of the Meath team is 23, take out Burke and That drops considerably, and with Andy the one who guided them to all ire final beating Tyrone and mayo along the way, there will be huge improvement

always look on the bright side of life Royaldunne would hate to see your posts if Meath had a good team redbomb (Tyrone) - Posts: 167 - 11/11/2016 14:02:57 1933589 Link 1 |
Like Tyrone we have been in transition, unlike Tyrone we have a manager who knows what he is doing in 2017,

There's a world of difference between Tyrone and Meath - not sure how there's a comparison in your eyes - they won the hardest provincial title last year and your poor cousins in Westmeath are the only Leinster county who have the guts to play Dubs in final - don't even think you're top 4 in Leinster. Tyrone on other hand need a free taker and a big target man in square which judging by their fans who I've spoken to they already have those players in Lee Brennan and McNulty (not sure of his first name) - with that sorted they will challenge for AI.

Trevor Giles wasn't as optimistic on Meath. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 12/11/2016 09:53:41 1933733 Link 0 |
RD I sometimes wonder whether a you get more satisfaction from a Meath win or a Tyrone defeat. Its a very unhealthy obsession you seem to have of a team that's not even a direct rival to your own county. Yes Mickey Harte has a lot to prove next year like a lot of managers. But he has got 3 AI's at this level as well as several Ulsters, this year included so to say he doesn't know what he's doing is just a cheap shot. As for Andy Mc, the jury is still out at this level for him. Just because he has a fantastic club record doesn't guarantee a smooth transition to intercounty management. Look at John Brennan's club record before he took over Derry a few years back. That was a very forgettable spell for them. If I were you I'd focus on your Leinster rivals who have leap frogged Meath as a more dangerous challenge to Dublin before you start worrying about a team you could only meet in the quaters, it your good enough to get there that is...

Monaghan could be dark horses next year. We have a few new young forwards coming through and now that scotstown are out of the club championship they are getting an extra rest. A new backroom team in place and a whole new goal. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 380 - 12/11/2016 12:24:52 1933750 Link 0 |
Hurling needs Waterford Galway Limerick to step up and make a real challenge. Clare less so but under new management they could be the ones to watch. Year to early for Wexford. Dublin look all over the place. For the sake of hurling it needs to be anyone but Tipp or Kilkenny Brianmac78 (Dublin) - Posts: 1168 - 12/11/2016 12:54:32 1933754 Link 0 |
