Replying To Analyst: "It's not exactly a state secret. It was posted here early yesterday that there were 4 additions to squad and I would think that there will be lads dropping out to make way for these. Hardly front page news as it would be the norm to have a few U 21 players on senior squad" agree but do you know the 4 lads brought in? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/03/2017 16:59:00 1965739 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "why are you afraid to say here then?" It has already been said here and as far back as 2 weeks ago 2 or 3 of us put up that the lads who should be called in were Clarke, Conlon, Jones and O Reilly and they were Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1508 - 09/03/2017 17:45:22 1965766 Link
Replying To pauk123: "You're mad. The best chance we had of winning something was retaining the O'Byrne cup but we were hammered by Louth. We were in a much better place this time last year and look how that turned out. But we have a "proven winner" as manager who maybe doesn't prepare his team to play a team that hadn't won in 2 years!"

Replying To bert09: "Maybe it's Jim Gavin?" How did you figure it out! I just think the fawning over the new manager is typical of the group think on here. Micko, who I don't know, was terrible according to the scribes, despite doing everything to unearth any good player from any corner of the county. Now, suddenly, we have a new manager and it's all the players fault the manager is blameless. It's the same group think that got Eamonn O'Brien fired despite his excellent record. The same crew as now were saying Banty was the savior….until he wasn't. I personally think the new manager has a lot to prove (terrible treatment of Joe, hammered by Louth and Kildare in Navan, caveman tactics against Down) I hope I'm wrong and he'll learn. Time will tell, but I fear we have Banty mark 2. pauk123 (USA) - Posts: 189 - 09/03/2017 20:08:08 1965802 Link

We now have a quality management who can get the best out of players, look at lenehane biggy forde menton O'Sullivan. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/03/2017 20:52:05 1965809 Link

Replying To Barney123: "How did he treat Joe terrible?" Sticking one of the best forwards Meath have produced in the last decade in goal and deriding his shot stopping ability to the media after a game. pauk123 (USA) - Posts: 189 - 09/03/2017 21:17:12 1965815 Link
Replying To Barney123: "How did he treat Joe terrible?" I don't understand that one either. Brought him back in? Didn't throw him aside? royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/03/2017 21:26:23 1965819 Link
Replying To Barney123: "How did he treat Joe terrible?" Pauk123 Confusing post .......How was Joe treated terribly ? I saw plenty of QUESTIONS this year about management issues. . I think most people accept it is far too early to draw any CONCLUSIONS about Andy as manager. Personally i would thank him for taking the job. I do agree Eamonn o Brien appears to have got a raw deal from what we know nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1287 - 09/03/2017 21:33:36 1965822 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "I don't understand that one either. Brought him back in? Didn't throw him aside?" No idea why Joe bothers to be honest ! He wont play 1 minute of football this year! A strange decision from both sides grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1176 - 09/03/2017 21:44:41 1965825 Link

Replying To royaldunne: "Total nonsense IMO" Joe hasn't been treated badly at all! He's delighted in fact to be back! He loves playing for Meath! And that's straight from the horses mouth !! grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1176 - 09/03/2017 22:04:19 1965835 Link
Replying To pauk123: "Sticking one of the best forwards Meath have produced in the last decade in goal and deriding his shot stopping ability to the media after a game." Complete and utter nonsense, nobody forced Joe to come back into the panel and I think he knows himself his time playing outfield for Meath were over a good while ago.

Joe will always answer the call, I'm positive he's delighted to be back in the fold but when your manager says "The shot saving you would maybe worry about" when you are a goalkeeper it doesn't bode well. I'm sorry I'm not part of the consensus that everything is rosey in the garden. We'll see how far we get this year with "promotion is realistic" let's see. pauk123 (USA) - Posts: 189 - 09/03/2017 22:24:54 1965844 Link

Well if Joe never plays in goals for his club and doesn't play in goals in any other sport as far as I am aware and the last time he did play in goals was about 15 years ago wouldn't you be a bit worried about his shot stopping? And apart from one or two posters most people on this forum are saying we won't get promoted because we are too inconsistent. If your a fan of Joe I'd say your a fan of Cian Ward and he has said this week he thinks we will get promoted so stop with all the negativity.
