BS. It will destroy the good work that has been done. This is all done to a few lads who have their quif up over Flynn. Thankfully looks like the clubs will tell them to go f themselves and put Meath football ahead of someone's ego.

Changed your mind once again? What happened to promotion or management gone.

I had said I changed my mind after Dublin game. So that's 3 months ago. And furthermore if they were to change management that is when it should have been done. After Dublin game. I wouldn't have minded If say McCarthy was installed at that stage he would have had time to organise a back room team, attend club games, talk to the players on panel, scout more players. The quarter finals of our championships in all levels are on this weekend and no one has even been approached or asked to take over, if Andy looses out on Tuesday then and only then will a process BE SET UP , to find a replacement ffs man how can that be good enough for Meath football? Honestly it's TOO LATE. Leave him there for next year and have a process IN PLACE, so the person or persons taking over can be prepared. This is Eamonn O'Brien all over again, have we learned nothing? I did say if we didn't get promoted he should leave once there was a alternative in line, that could have been done in July. Even August. But October? NO. hopefully the clubs will have common sense and know that a change of management at this stage with needing to be in the top 3 in division two next year vital to Meath football and will leave him in place to achieve that. Andy will not in all likelihood win a Leinster or all ire, but if we change now neither will his successor or unfortunately his successors. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 10/10/2021 10:08:16 2385088 Link 0 |

Of all the mad comments about this topic, no offence but yours tops them all. Not wanting to downplay the wonderful achievement of winning a Minor All-Ireland, he has only managed Meath Minors in four Championship games and if you thought O Bric was our saviour, he decision making was poor on the line in the All Ireland final, he actually nearly lost it for Meath, he was blessed Tyrone kicked so many terrible wides and we got away with a double hop for the win. So sorry to burst your bubble but if you think O Bric should get the job based on the fact of only winning four Inter county championship games, against Louth, a really bad Dublin team, Sligo and a Tyrone who couldn't score in a month of Sunday's, then we are in worse shape than I thought. Been blessed with good talent to work with doesn't necessarily prove you are a good manager. I would like to see O' Bric prove himself with more challenges, like at u20 before I would consider him for the Senior job.

Fair enough on chage of mind, its hard to keep up with you at times, this is nothing like Eamon O B, as far as I know CB wanted him to stay but clubs decided to vote him out, as for timing it should have been done sooner, however CB were awaiting review before vote, Andy knew he had to be ratified but attempted to force the issue. Kerry, Kildare just appointed new men, Galway hurlers yet to do so. Plenty of time for new management, up to 6 month before we kick a competitive ball, panel will not change a whole lot either way. No doubt clubs will back him, just have to look back to 2010/12 to see the ABC mentality of some clubs seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2196 - 10/10/2021 13:59:56 2385107 Link 12 |

You clearly don't know much about football or O'Bric. You just show total disrespect to the achievement of the minor win. They beat all comers. Compared to when Mc Entee was over the minors they lost 3 times a record that will never be equalled. Just look at O'Brics record at club level minor and u21 titles with O'Mahonys, Took the Tones to the county final and won the league with them, won minor and U17 titles with them. But according to you he's not very good. I think you need to get a grip. Educate your self on these things first.

I really like O'Bric and love how he speaks and the minor team seemed really well coached. And I've no doubt he could be a future Meath manager. But he already has Meath jobs for the next 2 and I think maybe 3 years. He is the post minor development manager next year and already appointed to that post. To take him out of it to make him the senior manager would be so regressive and putting the cart before the horse. We need to nurture these players born in 03/04 if we want to do anything. And the pathway with McCarthy and O'Bric ensures that. Do not mess with that

Don't know what point you're trying to make. The question was who were these players that Andy had fallings out with and those are some players that he himself invited into the panel and then discarded or fell out with.

Does anybody know what day this week the vote is, and what % is required to go against the executive. I presumed it was just the majority, but in 2012 it looked like Banty needed 66%. I honestly can't believe we are in this position. The country laughing at us, 1 week of having our house in order was too long for the executive.

Info. from Chronicle. Vote tuesday night, needs backing of 30 clubs. I live down south and far from laughing at us, opinion seems to be how have we put up with him for so long. Its just another step in putting our house in order.

Couldn't agree more, laughing stock of the GAA again, think we need to stick for one more year and if we want to change then we do so in the summer when we can carry out a properly structured selection process, talking about short term solutions is madness, the players involved deserve more than that, also the talk of promoting O Bric/McCarthy is nuts as well, those guys have been tasked with developing the next crop of players so leave them to do that and i am sure in time they will be good senior candidates, a lot of people give out about Andy and his sideline antics, maybe this is his passion coming out, I wonder what the player's are thinking on all this, I'm sure there are players who will say stay and those who will say go but the end of the day IMO Oct/Nov is not the time for this carry on. Hope we are not national news on Wednesday for the wrong reason.

One thing that nobody has mentioned here is the prospect that some of the more senior players may call it a day if Andy and the current management is voted out by the clubs. We have some good young players coming through but we could do with the likes of Menton, Keoghan etc for another couple of years.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Menton, Keogan and few others will leave the squad if Andy is gone in this way. He has extreme loyalty from all those players and a huge number will go if this management team are ousted in this disgraceful manner.

Colm Parkinson's Joe.ie GAA podcast today calling out the stupidity of our county board. Same with Tommy Rooney, Ger Gilroy and Eoin Sheehan on Off the ball. And from a more local perspective Davy Rispin and Mickey Brennan talking about the recklessness of it. Regardless of what you think about Andy McEntee, voting a manager out 3 months after the team has been knocked out and with players already working away on gym programs it is absolute lunacy to vote in a new manager. This discussion isn't even about whether it's the wrong decision to try and push out Andy. It's about the timing and the lack of a replacement. That's the embarrassing part of it

Live in Westmeath and they laughing their asses off at us. Every day it's ahh jasus you lot are some ejits, what you doin? Was these the same guys who paid a fortune for faulty and dangerous floodlights? Etc etc. And today, are Meath afraid of been successful or are they been run by dubs. Honestly I normally wear a Meath jacket a couple of days a week. I haven't in past week. We are a laughing stock. Embarrassing royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 11/10/2021 21:21:27 2385294 Link 0 |

There is never a bad time to do the right thing?, meaningless comment, obviously timing is important in a decision like this. Rushing decisions often leads to mistakes, more likely to make a bad appointment when we are backed into a corner with little time to make a choice. In fairness to McEntee there have also been positives to his reign. He is the only Meath manager since Boylan to get us to division 1, player preparation seems to have improved a lot in his time there, fitness much better. This year he was quite brave against Dublin, he could of set up like Kildare, play to keep the score down but he went for it and he was able to get the players to buy into it. You say the review must have raised a lot of questions, I'd say it is unlikely the review actually brought up anything we don't already know, I'm not sure why you think there was some big reveal there. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1402 - 11/10/2021 21:59:12 2385300 Link 2 |

From memory when they had the Banty vote years ago they would have needed a two thirds majority to put him out, guessing it's the same now.

I havnt heard of 1 person countrywide that has asked how have we put up with mcentee for so long. Stop making s**t up. What I do know is counties and plenty of clubs in Dublin will be approaching him if we make the wrong decision tonight.
