Replying To brian: "sorry lads saw on another thread but Cian O'Brien could be another option" Didn't impress in the games he started last year imo. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 15/11/2016 18:04:23 1934457 Link
If you think of midfield these are the options we could have had... Conor Gillespie Conor Nash Harry Rooney Shane O'Rourke Yet we will have none of them available this year. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 16/11/2016 08:33:22 1934572 Link

We have Adam Flanagan back, Gillespie is unlikely to play again, and shane would be in similar situation. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 16/11/2016 08:56:21 1934577 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "We have Adam Flanagan back, Gillespie is unlikely to play again, and shane would be in similar situation." We do but will be tough for Adam after a long layoff and now playing Junior B. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 16/11/2016 13:34:37 1934674 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "We do but will be tough for Adam after a long layoff and now playing Junior B." not to run Flanagan down. He has been off a long time and unfortunately if everyone was there he would not get a look in. For the good of Meath football he needs to be playing Senior or Intermediate pretender (Meath) - Posts: 358 - 16/11/2016 16:28:38 1934750 Link
Replying To pretender: "not to run Flanagan down. He has been off a long time and unfortunately if everyone was there he would not get a look in. For the good of Meath football he needs to be playing Senior or Intermediate" Yeah in fairness Junior B is the 4th highest level and he had a terrible injury very difficult to progress in those circumstances. Many Dubs have said to me if Dean Rock played for Garristown he wouldn't be anywhere near the Dublins squad. I also remember that John McDermott moved from Curraha to Skyrne and that benefited him hugely.Curraha were Junior or Junior b,but no way would he have progressed there. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 16/11/2016 16:38:07 1934757 Link
Your club is your club, transfer happy clubs like Dunboyne this year and Simonstown in the noughties lack the team spirit and lose their identity. Bective would be senior if their players stayed and Dunsany could have won a junior if o Coleain had stayed Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 16/11/2016 18:16:35 1934779 Link

Boylan had a serious knack for getting good players from lower ranked clubs. A good player with the right attitude will succeed at any level Regardless of our lack of options at midfield I want no excuses this year. If we don't have big Mobile units for midfield then we need to plan for this. And have a back up plan if plan A fails. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1790 - 16/11/2016 18:59:09 1934794 Link

Might be time to get Tobin (D) out to midfield. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 16/11/2016 19:29:39 1934803 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "Might be time to get Tobin (D) out to midfield." Indeed! A decent option for midfield bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1790 - 16/11/2016 19:54:53 1934820 Link

For the good of Meath football he needs to be playing Senior or Intermediate" Haven't seen him play with Clonard this year so don't know how he is going. But seen him in the senior hurling final and he looks in very good shape. Think if he is in with the county and getting games it will keep him up to the pace required. But junior B is a very low level to have to step up from. In the long run I think he needs to be playing at a higher level. Royalace (Meath) - Posts: 121 - 16/11/2016 19:57:43 1934821 Link
Louth at Parnell Park or Wicklow in Aughrim in the Leinster Championship on the 3rd or 4th of june. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 16/11/2016 21:26:50 1934862 Link
Replying To Barney123: "Louth at Parnell Park or Wicklow in Aughrim in the Leinster Championship on the 3rd or 4th of june." What a complete joke, the thoughts of playing Louth in that kip again is farcical this year they couldn't even provide adequate water for supporters to buy in the shop. Why isn't a Meath/Louth clash fixed for Navan, this years clash was fixed there as Drogheda was deemed unacceptable so why are we faced with this venue again?? Wicklow in Aughrim I can understand they visited us on our last clash in 2015 so that's perfectly fair but a potential game with Louth should be in Navan simple as, I hope the county board didn't just roll over on this and make their feelings known in the coming days.

Likely it will be Louth too.. The venue is not very child friendly either and parking is rubbish.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 17/11/2016 08:24:28 1934958 Link
