Replying To seadog54: "Think in or around 4,000 is a realistic figure, we will need all the support we can get" Yeah. Absolutely. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 21/05/2018 20:50:27 2102805 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Parnell park holds 13499, you saying it was just over half full?? You obviously were not at the game, either that or you haven't got a clue. Which I must admit is a distinct possibility." Yes Parnell Park holds 13,000+ but what you don't know is that the GAA reduced its capacity to 9,000 in recent years. Wikipedia will only get you so far buddy. As I said, there was 8,000 at our game against Louth last year. Toney (Meath) - Posts: 298 - 21/05/2018 21:27:29 2102824 Link
I reckon it'll be the same team that played the O'Byrne Cup Final will start against Longford. Maybe Eamon Wallace will get the nod ahead of Brennan or Burke. It'll be a close game like our O'Byrne Cup game with not a lot between them I'd say. LoyalRoyal (None) - Posts: 452 - 21/05/2018 21:35:47 2102827 Link

Replying To Toney: "Ah how foolish this looks." I think from our point of view, it's a big game to gauge our progress. Was just looking at the fermanagh v armagh game, and although we lost both games by a point, the reality is we should have won both. People slate our provincial championship, but ya take your neighbours out of it, it's as competitive as any of the rest. How competitive would ulster be with the boys in blue, in it????... .. Anyway different topic........even though we have home advantage, I think meaths tradition and support base, probably balances that equation. Don't know honestly how it will go. I do think it has the potential to be the closest and best game of championship so far. Could our 50th leinster anniversary be celebrated with a win over a traditionally "big team"????.......here's hoping!!!!!! PS. Some great Contributers on your forums!

Replying To Meathmaster: "We did play them but we were narrowly beaten. Conceded two very early goals and recovered really well, apparently it was extremely physical stuff!" Yes but Galway were always winning well untill they basically changed their whole team and it was then meath made it more respectable so I wouldn't be getting too excited about it southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 891 - 22/05/2018 06:36:54 2102869 Link

Ahh of course it's a great occasion. And longford go Into it with a very decent chance. No one in Meath is under any illusions. However should we fail to beat you some of these same people saying longford are a good team and can win etc, will be on here calling for Andy's head after loosing to "a team like longford ". Meath are in translation but we are on the right side of it. And gradually improving. I am looking forward to a great game. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/05/2018 09:31:34 2102901 Link

Meath will win by 4 or 5 points this time round Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 22/05/2018 10:29:53 2102940 Link
Replying To Bear10: "Meath will win by 4 or 5 points this time round" I'd go for 3/4. But I'll take 1-0 in free taking competition , the result is what matters the most. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/05/2018 11:01:45 2102950 Link
Longford are on the up, Meath are hopefully improving on recent championship form, if the havent they will lose, Meath by 1 score I think but would be no major shock if the home side prevail, certainly would not be backing us at 2/5 longroadback (Meath) - Posts: 325 - 22/05/2018 11:28:58 2102961 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Jkdare haven't played Louth in long time. As I said we had hell lot of crowd. Don't forget foney. It's blue and yellow u can wear." A 12 year old would come up with a better response than that. It's funny though how you think any Meath poster who challenges your blinkered views are from Kildare! You have a bit of an insecurity complex about the Lilys and that's not good. Sorry to have put you in your place once again dec (re Parnell Park attendance).

Longford have an abysmal record on the Leinster Championship of late. Even in the qualifiers they give the "bigger teams" a scare but more often than not ultimately lose. Meath by 5 or 6 then onto the Dubs. pauk123 (USA) - Posts: 189 - 22/05/2018 14:33:22 2103025 Link

Replying To Analyst: "And meaths record of late is ?????" For teams lower than us in the league, excellent and in first round Leinster matches again excellent. We all know that we struggle against the better teams but we typically beat D3 and D4 teams with ease. Louth were on the up this time last year, even more so than Longford, with promotion back to D2 and it was a no contest. pauk123 (USA) - Posts: 189 - 22/05/2018 16:46:10 2103065 Link
