No

This is exactly what's wrong with Meath football. Some lads are trying to build a bit of excitement around what is a dark time of the year for many. The regionals seem to get an unfair amount of abuse from people in the county. You have to take a step back and look at the gems this wonderful competition has produced over the last couple of years - Micky Flood, young Dixon, Harkin, Curtis, Scully, Sean Brennan, Sean Raff, to name but a few.

It's time we started to see this as the building blocks for the year ahead. It also gives lads from smaller clubs, like the Mahoneys, the chance to play alongside some big names.

Regarding your comment about this being my first phone - it's not. I'm 47 and have had at least two phones in my time, and I don't care for the slagging. This forum is a safe space for people to voice their opinions without being judged. Online bullying is a real thing and often brings me to tears. Think before you type.

Have to agree Guru. Could you give me your one to watch from each team. Young Devlin in goals for the mahneys is mine for the bracs. Then for the moyfenragh boys i think Mickey Burke from long wood is the eye catcher there. Anyways im off to Navan shopping centre you can finish the list hopefully.

Alot of the regionals seem to be made up of club stalwarts in their late 20's or 30's that have had opportunities before or were part of Meath panels before that just were not good enough. Competition should be U25's only. Was Rafferty not a Senior player for Na Fianna and in development squad before so it wasn't the regionals that identified him. Others mentioned no longer part of Meath Panel. The Club championships way more important to players and expect Meath Senior Management to be keeping main eye on Senior Championship only.

Son, I would put the phone and usernames down and head outside to kick some football with your mates.

Gentle heads up.
