Why do you think the whole Country wants you to fail?. That may have been the case in the late 80s and early 90s but not anymore.

If I was coming from navan I'd head North through Monaghan. No point sliding of to the west as ballybofey is not south Donegal . I recommend Ardee, get on N2, straight through Monaghan and into Tyrone for the A5 which will take you through Omagh, Strabane and head of Lifford. Ballybo next town . Get to see beautiful Tyrone hills as well

Hopefully James McEntee actually starts at wing back. Incredible how many of the team are from South Meath.

Not at all, if you weren't playing Donegal I would be cheering for you. I like this Meath team and they play really attractive football. I think it might be a year too soon for this Meath team but I expect them to give a good account of themselves in the Super 8s.

Safe travels to all traveling esp those coming the distance from Meath. Special shout out to the ever enthusiastic RD drive safe. Look forward to the post mortem. Like I said be surprised if its not Donegal by 4 plus.

Safe travels to our Meath opponents & supporters. Ballybofey is a tight wee town that fills up quick on big Championship days but it all lends to a great atmosphere. The weather should be decent, the burgers will be cooking and there will be a few cold beers going too. Hoping for a good hard hitting match. Fancy Donegal to win by about 5 points.

Cheers for that. Heading off early in morning grab a bite on the way. Keeping my optimism alive and well. Meath by 2.

Good luck to both teams. I'm somewhat fearful but you never know. I just really hope we put in a good performance. Donegal are a class outfit and it's gonna take a massive effort to be competitive.

Nothing to be fearful about. Meath are a good team and we never hammer even the weakest teams. Enjoy your day in the hills!

He bottled it.
Goal there for the taking but fisted it.
Donegal will make them pay for that.

That Meath keeper needs dropped!! What was he at for the goal. Didn't attempt to save it....he just let PMcB bang it in. Didn't attempt to save it.

Wides the difference again. But why O'Sullivan didn't pass the ball for a open goal I will never know. Still all to play for although lane seems to have gone a bit native with some of his calls.

I don't think Donegal have had a single score from a free so don't start that nonsense

3 times Meath players pushed in back and nothing. Cop on, he is giving Meath nothing if at all possible

Now I didn't think you'd be like some of the Kerry lads here and blaming the ref. It's not his fault Meath are behind to be fair.

Lane giving Meath every chance.
They had the chances to win it but blew it.
