Replying To MeathAbroad: "Yeah heard that after taking a guess. Maybe Kinlough will start. Though haven't heard how he or anyone is going." So you've selected a team based on what if you don't know how anyone is going??

Replying To Blackspot09: "Holy god. So a Meath Manager can't pick players from his own club anymore . Some nonsense talk." It's a wind up. Relax

Replying To Edgeofthesquareman: "So you've selected a team based on what if you don't know how anyone is going??" Past performance, Sigerson and club form and position requirements came into it. Though like I said in the original post, it's a shot in the dark. Part of the craic with a forum I would have thought, enjoying some semi informed speculation.

Replying To MeathAbroad: "Complete shot-in-the-dark selection given there's been so little reliable information on panel or challenges. And even though RB can play Sigerson players, he may rest a few lads who qualify for the following Wednesday's quarters. Think the new rules will include some left-field calls, eg throwing a midfielder into the forward line and lots of position rotation throughout the match with players getting a 'breather' as one of three at the back.
1) Billy Hogan
2) Donal Keogan
3) Adam O'Neill
4) Brian O'Halloran
5) Ciaran Caulfield
6) Brian Menton
7) Sean Coffey
8) Jack Flynn
9) Cian McBride
10) Darragh Campion
11) Shane Walsh
12) Eoghan Frayne
13) Jordan Morris
14) Mathew Costello
15) Conor Duke" Darragh Campion not available for Meath this year, Cathal Hickey has also opted out of the squad for 2025

Replying To Blackspot09: "To be honest it's naive to think this current Manager or any previous ones would pick players based off "politics" instead of the what they believe are the best players available to them.
I was very critical of our last Manager on a regular basis but at no time did I believe he was picking players based on politics or because they were from a certain club or a certain area. I may have disagreed with some of players he chose to have in there and also some of the players like Eoin Harkin he chose to cut loose but He was making decisions based on what he thought was best for the team and county and not based on politics.
As I said yesterday Colm O'Rourke or any Meath Manager would not jeopardise their job by picking lads who they know are only being picked based on politics.
Phrases like "there is politics involved" is one of those vague statements that people throw out but there is absolutely no way of actually proving that it's the case.
Perhaps it happens at underage level to some degree but it doesn't happen at senior inter County level." You don't have to go too far back to see evidence of this in Meath, dad and sons
