Replying To oldsam_newsam: "Either way Biggy should have been replaced at half time. He was being targeted by louth players (again) and we had an ineffectual referee who was doing v little to protect him. Cillian O'Sullivan should have been brought on at that stage. This is not hindsight, I and others were saying this at half time. I am 100% behind Andy Mac and am impressed with his demeanor on the sideline and how he is conducting interviews etc but he is not infallible & I think he made an error there." Bad bad Louth lads imagine targeting our best player. Not as if it would happen in a meath IFC final numberedjerseys (USA) - Posts: 348 - 25/01/2017 20:28:11 1948814 Link
Whats going on with us as a county I'm cringeing reading some of the posts here about our players being targeted its a physical sport we used to thrive on this stuff and give it back in spades and didn't give a toss who condemned us that's when we were bloody good and didn't moan and whinge about anything no matter what and we had the upmost respect from everyone else even if begrudgingly given its embarrassing what we've become runnerin (Meath) - Posts: 202 - 25/01/2017 22:11:10 1948830 Link

Some people here who were anti excuses last few years, are now experts at coming up with excuses, especially in feeble attempts to defend their chosen ones. nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1219 - 26/01/2017 08:40:23 1948863 Link
Mistake made V Louth, (When Meath got free near the end and were going for a goal.) Pity they did not bring Joe Sheridan forward Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 518 - 26/01/2017 09:40:54 1948871 Link
The Cillies manager none to pleased to be without Graham Reilly, He hasn't been released for 14 training sessions since the start of the year. Whatever about royaldunne saying otherwise. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 26/01/2017 16:58:15 1949006 Link

Whatever about royaldunne saying otherwise." McEntee wouid have been in same position with boden Jim Gavin must have not put to much pressure on him there. So find it hard to believe why reilly had to play every minute of football so far this year. What is the agenda here?? Reco (Meath) - Posts: 419 - 26/01/2017 19:57:07 1949053 Link
Well if it were me I would rather train at a higher standard and play a higher standard match, than go to an average club training session. Like realistically they'd probably moan about not being able to train tactics but at the end of the day that goes out the window at that level. teams either get every1 behind the ball or just attack the main men. GR far better off sticking with the panel till now. Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 630 - 27/01/2017 07:39:34 1949121 Link
Good luck to my beloved Cilles this week. I'm really looking forward to the journey home. Its an awful pity that the lads weren't available and are now crocked. We aren't blessed with occasions like this as a county and cripes as I well know the club most certainly isn't blessed. We could all have done with a win by them to keep a positive buzz going. Don't forget until the loss to Louth we were all positive. However knowing the type of club the Cilles are they will just get on with things and do their business quietly and efficiently. Unfortunately theres no OBC final for us this week so lets all get to Armagh and back them this weekend, they are completely up against it now, a real backs to the wall. The club deserve all our support and lets show them all that is good about Meath. seasiderblues (Meath) - Posts: 342 - 27/01/2017 08:17:24 1949122 Link

Are the 2 lads out of the cilles game that's a big blow if they are best of luck one way or the other runnerin (Meath) - Posts: 202 - 27/01/2017 09:25:15 1949135 Link
