He still has another year with the 20s so i guess he's 19, I think its fair to say he didnt have a great year with the 20s this year. He'll need to be a lot better with the 20s next year and with his club too too if he wants to be involved with the seniors.

Comfortable win in the end. Debutants did well enough. Not really tested once we got in front. Trip to Waterford next. LoyalRoyal (None) - Posts: 452 - 13/05/2023 21:05:11 2478158 Link 5 |

Well done to Colm and team tonight. Small steps to the road of recovery and a kick for the begrudger !! royalproxy (Meath) - Posts: 29 - 13/05/2023 21:11:07 2478160 Link 21 |

Yeah would agree with that. Tipp gave very little of opposition, but you can only beat what's in front of you (and next week will be even worse) and they did that ,so credit where it's due. Debutants did well. But I'm mighty impressed with coffee. Could be a real find going forward .

First half was abysmal, much better in the 2nd. The Scot line probably flattered us a bit, we wasted a lot in front of goal. hyperache (Meath) - Posts: 198 - 13/05/2023 21:47:15 2478177 Link 7 |

1-19 is a good tally in any game and a decent spread of scorers too. This is all about confidence. An 11 point win against any inter-county team is a good day at the office. Onward to Waterford. Young_gael (Meath) - Posts: 587 - 13/05/2023 22:07:11 2478184 Link 14 |

Good to get the win badly needed.I thought young Coffey was brillant and Lynch showed well up front, Gray also done well.Thomas o Reilly showed well after coming on and kicked some lovely points.Jack o Conor looks like he did his hamstring also kicked a couple of nice points.We played well in patches much better in the second half but would still be worried as Tipperary ran through us down the middle far too easily and kicked a a few scores.kicked 1 -19 andl eft another couple of goals so hopefully that will give the forwards a bit of confidence going forward.

Ah wouldnt worry about the begruger as you say ....lone voice with no support ....so ignore ! Tipp weak opposition so hard to read....twopence worth next match all scoring forwards to start .Grey to start Coffey to start. O Connor to start Maximum workrate from all from start to work on slow start. No assumptions ! nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1211 - 13/05/2023 22:22:34 2478189 Link 18 |

On another note Colm's constant reference to sg panellists has to stop. Donal ogs got his own agenda , when asked cor should have said I'm concentrating on Meath nothing else. This is getting tiresome first with Cora and now this. He's gone from sg. Time to move on. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 13/05/2023 22:52:48 2478202 Link 1 |

Agree with all this. Coffey really stood out

He just answered the question he was asked. As a former pundit he is going to be asked those questions, and other people over the past few days have been asked about the same comments too, so ots only natural that a manager of a team, in themat competition, will be asked about them too. And on top of that, he was right in his response. Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6342 - 14/05/2023 11:17:59 2478253 Link 21 |

Took a while to get going seemed a bit nervy in first half but settled well, had a better shape about us and ran up a decent score, while leaving a few behind us. Say there was a lot of relief in getting the win and gives a bit of confidence going forward. Just a small step but well done to all. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2135 - 14/05/2023 11:41:06 2478262 Link 8 |

I was wondering what faults you would find with Colm after today's game. There we have it, answering questions put to him by the media.... Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 569 - 14/05/2023 12:18:07 2478278 Link 24 |

Well said…. Colm can do no right in the eyes of said poster… since he's been appointed. Yesterday was progress but let's not talk about that… let's not talk about the fact that Colm was brave after a poor league and brought in Sean Coffey and Ronan Ryan and others from the development panel… that after Offaly he dropped Harry hogan, brought in Sean Brennan, Conor Gray and Aaron Lynch …. That Brennan, Coffey, Ryan,Gray and Lynch were amongst the best we had yesterday or that it shows Colm is willing to make hard calls and accept when he's been wrong…. No no no let's not talk about that at all… Let's not talk about the fact that there was structure and a game plan there, that you could see what this team was trying to do, that both sides of the ball the plan was clear on what they were doing. Or that as the game developed that this team opened up their shoulders and kicked for home, that our kick outs looked functional for the first time in living memory… no no… let's not talk about that… We're there faults, plenty of them… we left about 8-10 scores out there, that decision making at the start was poor, that we allowed some easy scores to be kicked with no pressure on the kicker wasn't good, that we gave the ball away a lot wasn't good,that Jordan Morris was again I'll disciplined and got himself sent off again was a poor look…. But as the game went on you could see the tension go out of the players and they played better with each passing minute… None of that matters.. Points must be scored and let's talk about a question he was asked by media… let's not have a manager give his honest opinion…. But yet it was okay for our previous manager to have to be restrained by his own players from striking an official…. In fact I seem to remember said poster saying it's a pity the previous manager was held back… This job was never ever going to be easy, Colm O'Rourke taking it on was only going to it… as the next generation of media pundits could now line up and get their speak in about Colm and what he's said about them or their counties in the Independent and on the Sunday game over the last 25 years. He might not have been the best choice but he's the man in charge right now and he deserves everyone's support… Btw didn't said poster say he was going to go out and find some new players for the next manager for next year. Wonder how that's going for him. He missed out on seeing plenty of them last night in the likes of Coffey, Brennan, Lynch, Gray, O'Neill, O'Higgins and Ronan Ryan. Last I think Meath should beat Waterford and secure a quarter final and hopefully from there as the team develops they can show their true ability. Winning 4-6 games in a row would be really good for this team going forward. Look at how Derry developed from division 4 with winning consistently and going up the divisions, that's what we needed and why I wasn't averse to playing Tailteann cup this summer. Build that winning habit and confidence going into 2024. As a great former manager (one Andrew McEntee) said losing can become a habit just as much as winning.. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 14/05/2023 13:14:10 2478304 Link 19 |

That is correct, a freak accident which he nearly lost his eye, hopefully he will be OK.

Not denying he was right. I had posted earlier that the comments were a disgrace. Just I feel it was his answer. Just say I've my own priorities
