Cop on, it's a personal attack aimed at them, all the personal abuse has been linked to football but the issue is it has nothing to do with football it's personal, like what you've said.

Your going down the rabbit hole, if thats what you want belive drive on. A lot of false outrage out there, you will have plenty of company.

Never heard such rubbish on this Forum .
Is saying a manager was poor such an awful thing Andy was a loyal meath man but that alone doesn't make you a good county manager.
Will the next man do any better who knows but going on Meath results and thats what all managers are judged on Andy McEntees time was up long ago .
I was delighted he stepped down is that such a bad thing to say ??

Absolutely not, that's a fair comment, his time was up in the role and we badly need a new man with fresh ideas, he brought us so far and was given every chance to get to next level but obviously he isn't the man for it. No one on here is saying he was a great manager or should stay issue is with needless attacks on his character but absolutely you have to judge his results and performance of side which has been poor for the last 18-24 months

Post of the year.

Nothing more to add to that. Grim. Time for some humility in the county.

We have population, good facilities and a bit of tradition. We also are in a wealthy county economically. So we have potential. But that's literally all we have.

The standard of club football is very bad and this is reflected in the standard of the county. We aren't even in top 15 I would say currently. We need a complete reset. Might be time to set up a think tank type weekend conference where open ideas are discussed and debated. I think it's time to run the county like a company, take it out of the hands of the county board and club delegates, who clearly aren't up to it. Won't happen though.

No. But is threatening and abusive messages by faceless cowards on internet ok ? Also the dopes who sent threatening letters to his home , is that ok? Abusing his family members is that ok ? Telling lies about our former captain that cb paid for his flights is that ok ??
Just wondering where a guy with 9 posts draws the line on what is acceptable critique and what is downright lowlifes having a pop at someone whose done more for Meath football than any of these clowns could ever dream of

I'll agree on club championship. Standards are One of the worst in country.

So you now need 18000 posts to have an opinion on here ??
On my 9 posts where did I say any abuse is ok ???
There's low lifes everywhere but I've no doubt a very small number would stoop as low as to send treating letters to any man if this happened the guards should have been called .
Abuse of his family is not acceptable and gossip as regards paid trips home is loose talk by a small number and more than likely not even gaa supporters.
When you have social media this is always going to happen shouldn't but it will sadly .
The only thing I will say is we shouldn't let a very small minority of low lifes distract from what has been a very poor few years for meath football under Andy McEntee.
And by the way I lost my last password and username so it was easier to set up a new account

Well fair play to you you defended you position very well. I suggest you had nothing to defend anyway. i do find it " amusing " that your number of posts should even be mentioned or a factor at all. Now when i think about it i think 9 posts that could be fresh new thinking great thats whats needed now. Then the bubble bursts you were here before. who cares ? Anyway i agree with your views re the abuse not being acceptable etc. I like the way you brought the real issue back into focus by stating the obvious Some things just cant be defended ! Then who was it that said "common sense is not so common" ?

Meath clubs record in Leinster club championship would be all the proof needed as we rarely can compete with club champions from other counties.

Colm O Rourke pointing out what many on here have said for the last 18 months, the level of abuse from certain nameless Meath fans online would be a strong factor in why he would not take the Meath job (among other aspects). I suspect the carry on by some fans on twitter and here to a lesser degree would cause many to think again before giving up their time and energy.

Time for regional teams to improve standards across the board? Give some players a chance to prove themselves and improve by playing with better footballers from neighbouring parishes, competing against the better teams in the county.
Also an incentive to push on within their own club team to try make the regional team.

Can see why bigger clubs pushing for championship honours would be against it but it would also help stop transfers from struggling clubs. And if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best!

Actually not that many county's. Been at a few dubs ones, Offaly, Longford and vast majority of Westmeath ones. And they better by some distance. You should check them out.
