On topic so. Modern football, as in all sports, really developed as we know it in the 40s, 50s etc and progressed. Since then, Meath have never been far away from the top table until recently.

If Meath aren't traditional heavyweights, I really don't know who are tbh! To try and claim otherwise is nonsense of the highest order, which hardly deserves a reply!

But you already know this.......

Respectfully, can you be less vague about the timeframe and try not to imply anything about what I know or don't in an off-topic fashion? It should be fairly straightforward to not make a comment about me and stick to the topic

Just on this post merits alone, are you you saying that global sport (tenuously on-topic) only became relevant when Meath began to get good at GAA? Is that coincidental? Convenient? Was Meath GAA inspired by Jesse Owens or somebody?

Everything pre 1940, GAA and otherwise might as well not have existed? Just scrub everything from the record books as irrelevant?

You were the lad who started with 70 years, then changed it to around 70 years. Best read the thread back, you are starting to sound a bit like a hypocrite. Respectfully.

Yes I accepted that and hence I asked for whatever timeframe was acceptable. I wasn't expecting a more vague timeframe in response to the the fury about how vague mine was.
