Relax the Bracks! Royal is right in what he's saying because Smullen didn't start first couple of rounds of championship. Might have come on in those games but played most if not all of the league. I don't blame himself or Flanagan for leaving Clonard to try and better themselves as footballers, playing senior instead of junior B. Flanagan is 28 or 29 so it was the right move for him if he is looking to resurrect his inter county career. I heard rumours first that Smullen was going to Kinnegad and I believe he went to school there. Then last year he played U20 for Ballinabrackey in premier final (as part of an amalgamation with Clonard) so that probably convinced him to move to the Bracks.

What has changed your mind on us? Eleven months ago Tones were up there with the best of the best after winning Keegan but now we are bang average despite having not not put a foot wrong in championship 2022. Did you not learn your lesson last year when you tipped Dunboyne to give Tones "the Father and Mother of a spanking" and "one of the worst beatings in a county final in living memory".

Haha, sorry kid but I see what you're doing and I did like your comments. Before a big match you play down our chances while bigging up the opposition. Then after we win it's TONES ALL THE WAY!!!

October 29 2021 - Week before County Final
Replying To Analyst: "This thread is in relation to Senior Football championship so lets keep it about that, Ratoath were good champions and will be back but its now about 4 teams who have something left to play for."
I fully agree, Ratoath have been great champions. Now what's your predictions on the final. Dunboyne have been favourites from the start and look a sure bet . The Tones are there on merit and playing their third final in two months. They flopped in the other two. Dunboyne look to have quality all over the field and this could end in a crushing defeat for Tones again.

Yeah it is great for Tones to be on the same pitch as a Dunboyne side sprinkled with great county players, the two Mc Entees, Leno, Two Lowndes bros, former Cavan superstar Bradley, Mc Coy, Lavin, Finn, Jones bros. I think if Tones show up on the day they could keep the score respectable but hopefully we get a decent game and then all get behind Dunboyne in Leinster

Replying To BigJoe14: "I think Dunboyne will win this comfortably if they perform. Wolfe Tones are punching above their weight getting this far. Ratoath were absolutely atrocious against them and never played at all. To much being made of Tones performance. They had a huge wind in the first half and still just sat back defensively and when they did have the ball they hoofed in ridiculous high balls that they got zero results from. Shooting from crazy positions as well. Cian Ward was hardly in the game at all against Ratoath until after the penalty, when he did play very well, using the ball smartly and kicking a big free. I can see Dunboyne going after Wolfe Tones kick out and if they are successful with that it could be tough day for Wolfe Tones."
I totally agree, It's going to be like a light weight getting into the ring with a heavy weight. They can punch all they want but ultimately they're going to lose. The Tones have bottled it twice this year and were soundly thrashed on both occasions. They're only the 8th or 9th ranked team in Senior against the number 1 team.. On Sunday Dunboyne will give them the Father and Mother of a spanking. This has all the hall marks of a total mismatch and one of the worst beatings in a county final in living memory. I expect Dunboyne to win by a point a man.

November 19 2021 - after Tones are crowned champions, the tune changed
It doesn't really matter where individuals rank Tones, they won the Senior championship and that is all that matters really, they didn't rob a win at any stage with last minute goals or lucky scores (Goal in Armagh final as example) , Kells won a number of Feis cups but some people dismissed that, now some are referencing Tones Feis cup form as a barometer of where they are at.....note their record against Dunboyne/Ratoath is exceptional, they never fear the so called "big" teams and will be in the hunt for next few years so some could be very sick for a while
Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1427 - 19/11/2021

I fully agree with you here. The Tones made 3 finals this year, winning the important one. They defeated all comers and drew with us. To have people come on here and say they were lucky are stupid and ignorant. They pointed out that Kells, Ratoath, Simonstown and Dunboyne had all injuries. Well didn't the Tones also have injuries, They were without Eanna Harrington all year, also Eanna O' Kelly, and Fiachra Ward. I heard they started the semi final and final with 3 lads carrying hamstring injuries and were also without Brook Finnegan for both games. Give credit where it's due.
Someone said it's the worst championship in 25 years I can remember worst.

September 7 2022 - Tones are average team
Predictions for the quarter finals,
Gael Colmcille v Tones, Colmcilles by 6. Tones an average team.
Trim v Na Fianna, Trim my tip to go all the way, putting up big scores.
Summerhill v Skryne, probably the closest game, Summerhill have enough to progress.
Ratoath v Moynalvy, Ratoath by 10 to big and strong with match winners everywhere

Kells by 8 points, Tones are just average

Be interesting and close, Na Fianna to edge it
Summerhill to just about get over Skryne
Ratoath begin the procession to being crowned kings with an exhibition match

Just some clarification on Young Niall Smullen.

The young lad submitted a transfer which was approved, the Bracks didn't take anyone, he joined the club.

Secondly - There is no rift between the Clubs to my knowledge as I see them playing underage together.

Thirdly - This thing of taking players is nonsense, I know from experience as an officer we never as a club tried to poach players, also we have never refused to sign a transfer, never objected to players from our parish playing with other clubs in different counties. Our motto is that every player has a right to play our amateur sport. A player will always get his wish and in my opinion rightly so, players have left my club and returned a few years later, Players have left the club and won championships with other clubs. The point is a player

Lastly - My opinion on clonards pitch is just my own, don't expect everyone to agree with it, Summerhill in fairness has a very good set up also, great stewards also who stands out on the road and actually controls the traffic. Tim is a joke, brilliant pitch, dressing rooms, hall but the car park is a free for all on match days, every man/woman for themselves, road outside usually gets blocked. That has been my experience at big games.

Anyways it just an opinion and they all vary.

Replying To BigJoe14:  "Is it not that bit harder for Clonard to bounce back now that their best young player is playing for Ballinabrackey?"
From what I here is clonard problems are from the top down,this transfer has spilt the club in half and the people on the committee that took an interest in the adult set up all stood down with nobody left to look after them as a result they didn't get a team out

How is Royal right ? You just said he palyed nearly if not all of the league games and started the last championship game and came on in the other two. I would class that as playing a lot.

I agree with you 100% on yours and the club views and I have no problem with the young lad looking to transfer in to another club. I do find interesting though the lack of criticism aimed at the bracks.

I wonder if it was a good young player from Kilbride looking to move to a senior club nearby like Ratoath Dunboyne or Ashbourne would the criticism be lacking. I suspect not.

Blackpool I was really only talking about championship,not starting first 2 games coming on with a few minutes to go when the game was out of reach of the bracks and starting the last game and not scoring for the 60+ minutes but I wouldn't know enough to know the reasons just going on match reports...maybe there's other reasons

Agree with all 4 of these. Na Fianna and Trim be very close but maybe Na Fianna's senior experience and Shane Walsh in form might stand to them. Looking forward to the games this weekend

Wolfe tones vs Gaeil Colmcilles - draw game

Ratoath vs Moynalvey - moynalvey to put up a fight but Ratoath to end up winning by 4

Summerhill vs Skryne - Summerhill by 3"
I can see Na Fianna winning this one with experience just, local derby game so will be very tight, Trims group was by far the easiest group but that's the luck of the draw.

Again if Wolfe Tones can be disciplined and not concede frees they should take this one down by a few points. They a better balanced team then Kells.

Watched Moynalvey playing a challenge last Friday night without COS ( happened to be in a friends house beside the pitch ), set up very defensively, Really impressed with their Goalie, two feet and very quick with his restarts, definitely needs to be looked at for county, however a senior B Dublin team beat them fairly comfortably so I can see nothing only a 8+ beating.

Summerhill will have the extra bit of class if they perform but if they don't Skyrne could pounce. Summerhill can be very inconsistent and this could be the shock of the round if they don't perform, on the other side if they bring their A game they should win by 4+.

Relegation games will be just as entertaining, I'm hoping my beloved Bracks can test Simonstown but it will be tough.

Cilles and Ashbourne should have no problems however I'm hearing Dunboyne are struggling with some big injuries and that gives NOM a chance. Can see a high scoring game here, NOM definitely over priced at 5/1 and the draw at 12's !! Might have a sneaky fiver on it.
