Speedy Recovery Graham Geraghty - 5 Like(s)
i remember being at the infamous league match meath v dublin 2008 in parnell park when 5 players were sent off 3 dubs and 2 meath and someone threw a cup of tea aimed at ciaran whelan as he walked off after sending off, graham was a sub being a veteran by this time he was introduced not long after and took up a full forward position in front of the dubs fans end, plenty of nice songs and jeering when he came in, graham turned around and blew them a kiss, the place erupted in a cheer, all tensions disipatted after that!

Cork V Meath NFL Rd 1 - 4 Like(s)
I dont know why but i cant shake the idea or feeling that were not going to win this. I know for years we couldnt buy an away win in the league in div 2 so maybe its ingrained , but on the other hand we do have a good record in cork in league over the last few years. away wins against half decent teams in the league are as rare as hens teeth for meath. cork are probabaly the only big team we have beaten in league away in over 20 years. going by that it looks like meath may only win 3 of the 7 matches this year, v louth,limerick and clare

bookies rarely get it wrong meath at 5/2 yesterday for a reason id say we might be very slight favourites next sunday, its a pure 50:50 in my opinion, if we lose i think we will probabaly be relegated unless we improve a lot in last 2 or 3 matches in March. very hard to be condifent that we will win any of our 7 games if we lose on sunday , you would begin to think. westmeath dont look as bad as imagined they would be and Down looked good today too. id be shocked to see us win in newry maybe mullingar, that means it near enough win or bust on sunday already, we will not beat monaghon or roscommon in navan

Meath Vs Down - 3 Like(s)
Very odd venue and time, i expect Down are not happy with that. Playing Meath in thier own back yard. The equivalant of going to Corrigan Park to play Down in a supposed neutral venue. Good i suppose for meath fans to tip into from Ashbourne, Ratoath, DunsHAUGLIN , nAVAN

Portlaoise Sunday Town Goal - 3 Like(s)
big support needed on sunday in portlaoise, we need to make the traditional meath end in portlaoise a wall of noise and green and gold, bring out the flags and as many bodies as you can fit in cars , this is our all ireland final. Clare are a team that could be easily rattled by this and it will lift our lads as it did against westmeath in 2002 and 03 and galway in 07 and limerick in 09. we need to bring out the crowd for this game , so you all know who you are if you were there in the above years see you up there sunday again.

I'd say we're looking at Colm's last match on Sunday , I'd expect more of the same another tame performance where we can't score or tackle with any intensity. I'd say beaten by 6 or 7 points by a poor Monaghon team. 1-15 0-11 is my prediction . Hope I'm wrong but actually fairly confident that's the perfermonace we will see

Meath 2024 - 3 Like(s)
Id take hand and all now for 4 wins and 3 defeats. i cant see us getting anything out of the games away to Donegal and away to Armagh, anything from them games is a massive achievement in itself even a draw. another big achievemnet would to win in breffni park v cavan for first time since early 1960s, they always seem to get up for playing meath, while meath never seem to be as bothered. i can see the games at home to Kildare and Louth, the big Leinster dearbies being the ones where the meath team really targets big time to win, if we win both of those we will be safe , i think we will beat cork and fermanagh also at home. defeat to louth or fermanagh and i think we could be relegated. id like to see us training very hard now and being in flying form come mid february to early april, i wouldnt pass much stock on the rest of the year after that, it unlikely but not out of the question to beat a weakened or half second string dublin team in Navan in early May, espesecially if we were in flying form and dublin trialling players before group stages. group stages nice to get out of them then its bonus territory. for me nothing really to be achieved in all ireland group stage really, a run would be nice but its all about the league for Meath.

on what form will we get to 10 points? on form over last 3 years we will get 6 max, but i think 4 might be all, a win v cavan in navan as i think they could be in trouble, westmeath maybe in mullingar, thats it. we might sqeak a draw with likes of down away or monaghon at home, 4 points might not be enough. we will be bet by 10 points again in inniskeen. that could relegate us on the last day i fear. Hopefully someone keeps hold of this post and we can all sigh a relief at it after the league and ill be delighted if i am wrong.

if people keep harping on about how far we have fallen then most teams in ireland cant celebrate a win, look at down,cork,cavan all counties with numerous all irelands that dosent mean they keep whinging about how far they have fallen.

i think every meath fan is expecting a huge battle to stay up in the division, meath and westmeath are favouirties with bookies to be relegated so were in for a huge survival battle. 5 points will hopefully be enough but its very hard to see where that wins will come, maybe cavan at home and down you would want to target, 4 points might be enough but even 6 poiints could still relegate us.

good win again, if we lost we were brought right back into the mix of relegation so thats put to bed now. we go down to brefnni park next week as rank outsiders but with nothing to lose so its a lovely position to be in with a shot to nothing, so you never know where that could take us. cavan are no world beaters so we should be able to rattle them if were up for it, maybe we could catch them on the hop, given our history vs cavan in breffni park id imagine cavan are extremely confident of winning.
meath havent won a league game vs cavan in breffni park since 1965, thats a shocking statistic considering our all ireland winning teams in 60s, 80s and 90s at a time when cavan couldnt even win provincial titles. surely high time to get rid of that statistic

i would like to see Andy bring in some enforcer type players. who have we got that we can bring in to do a job on a
marquee player or just get in tems faces , two or three of these players would be what we need, players well built 6-4 type , hit lads and every thing that moves then you can take them off ten minutes intoo second half, we want lads to hit players and knock the stuffing out of them early on in games. we really need this when playing bigger teams.

Replying To Royal.Legend: "Why can't we beat Monaghan and Roscommon in Navan." not good enough simply from what i seen last year. it would be the biggest win in years against a team thats top 8 consistently the last decade. i dont see it. if were bet sunday and manage to avoid relegation ill be shocked

this all ireland final feels a bit like meath v mayo 1996 where armagh were highly unfancied and probabaly not getting the plaudits they deserve a bit like meath in 1996 the scribes are doing a lot of begrudging towards the quality of the game.

Is Meath now becoming a hurling county? - 2 Like(s)
westmeath football is in div 4? surely westmeath hurlers are operating at a higher level and id count westmeath as more hurling than football.
on anoother point i havent heard anyone being excited b mcentee taking over, gerry isnt liked by hurling clubs after he said to burn all the hurleys, a good portion of these people would love to see him fail. dont see how we can be excited by meath football, our underage is record is terrible, no leinster minor since 2008 and no u-21 since 2001, where is the future there? were a mid table div 2 team and will be for years to come. throw money at hurling and see what happens thats my thinking
