Where do we go from here. 6 years in and we have regressed. I have nothing personal against management but they have been given enough time and there has been no progress at all in their time. We need to move on now or else year is over. Foley91 (Meath) - Posts: 418 - 30/01/2022 15:41:04 2397178 Link 11 |

Sad............to see our Senior football team being allowed to deteriorate to this stage . We have been on a downwards spiral for 3 years now. Incompetence covers it at every level. County Board knew where we were heading,and yet could not even conduct a review properly. Massive remedial work was essential ,and a review is a first step in any corrective action. Conditions to day were the same for both teams full stop! Deckchairs on the titanic springs to mind. Excuses of any description for to day or decline over the last couple of years conceal the truth....incompetence ! NO leadership......anywhere ! Yes of course players have to take responsibility for silly mistakes. Most annoying as some posters have been saying it seemed all so predictable ! As a life long supporter i strongly reject such a level of incompetence over such a long duration from the top table. I make no apologies for continuing to offer constructive criticism.

Absolute garbage , we will be very lucky to stay up . It looks like to me the players are just not bothered or they just wont play for mcentee anymore. London or new York would score more from play today. ODowd left as manager when we had 15 min collapses well mcentees men were Missing the whole game not for the first time either SheridansTry (Meath) - Posts: 180 - 30/01/2022 16:52:04 2397216 Link 8 |

Does Andy need to do something big, like drop one of the big names off the panel, some one like Harnan or keoghan both utterly hopeless today and every other day when we play the bigger teams changing management now won't achieve a thing.

No point in expressing my true feelings, it simply would be blocked. But generally all aspects of the GAA is slipping in the county. The executive wakes up 3 months too late in carrying out a review of the senior football management team's performance and making fools of themselves in the process, but instead they went PUBLIC with their lazy findings and got humiliated by the delegates, this episode alone showed a distant lack of judgment by the executive. There are at least 3 other episodes of serious ineptitude that I could comment on, but would definitely by blocked by the moderator, that reflect badly on us so for the moment I will comment on the senior football team management team. The management team were handed a poisoned chalice and left in limbo late last year, so naturally I am not going to point even the small finger on my left hand at them but instead I would throw a library of books at the utter fool(s) who initiated the late, late heave last October.

Good man. Drop 1 of out best players over the last 10 years because of today's result. That would be a good moral boost this week. Probably one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever read on this page.

The county board don't train the team, pick the panel or pick the players. They also don't make the tactics or substitutions. They should however have shown McEntee the door in the Flynn debacle or at least stood up to him. Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 1352 - 30/01/2022 17:41:11 2397247 Link 16 |

Fair play to ye being there at half time. I walked out after 20 mins. An absolute disgrace. Worst performance I've ever seen. I'd drop 13 of them. Try a whole new approach. Bring in big string lads that can win their own ball with two giants at midfield to supply them. It's not rocket science.

Least we are not in Division 4. Hope you are enjoying the scenic route around Ireland and England. Andy will learn from this defeat. Tyrone were hammered by Kerry last year and look what happened. This could galvanise the lads and develop a siege mentality. We could be looking at the beginnings of an All Ireland challenge. It's only January after all.

Sadly todays result comes as no great shock, blame rests between a county board / delegates who decided for whatever reason it would be a good idea to retain current management, even when it had become obvious setup was not working. It was a simple evidence based decision to make. Some are blaming players, however management select the squad and pick the team ( nothing to suggest the do anything else inbetween) so blame lies squarely at management door. So many errors today, even though result was no surprise, its still very hard to take. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2196 - 30/01/2022 17:57:17 2397254 Link 13 |

With all due respect, I think you and RoyalDunne are either the same person or ye are related. Delusional. BTW I wasn't having a go. I was merely calling out an absurd comment.

I agree to County Board don't have anything really to do with picking the team..but they have showed bad judgment and that what I was referring to. The Flynn debacle, they chickened out, yes , then came the real bout of ineptitude, in mid July Dublin beat Meath in Leinster s/f. Surely if any review of the management team's performance was to be undertaken it should have taken place in the week(s) afterwards and with a recommendation to be put to delegates for the August meeting. Ah no, that would be the efficient thing to do, instead the waited and then dropped their bombshell in October only to have it firmly rejected by delegates for no other reason than it was left far too late and virtually all potential candidates had been hovered up by EFFICIENT Co Boards and clubs. Now Andy McEntee knows quiet well, I assume, that he has eight serious enemies within the executive so essentially 'his days are numbered' or that his freedom to express his independence has been seriously questioned. In those circumstances enthusiasm and judgement wane as he has to constantly 'look over his shoulder' where individual displays become more important than the campaign. After today's result many will settle for survival in D2 but many will still demand promotion. I fear a year has been lost. But then all is well….the top table, with their assistants were returned, en masse. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1080 - 30/01/2022 19:29:08 2397279 Link 4 |
