When it's put like that isn't it beyond laughable. St Colmcilles this year lost 4 and drew 1 and hadn't even to play in relegation. Na Fianna won 1 game and into knockout. Some people didn't want the back door in the all ireland and in Meath you can have 3 back doors. Radical overhaul required Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1338 - 11/10/2017 17:07:13 2054736 Link

We had a radical overhaul, and the clubs organised to have it undone. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1391 - 11/10/2017 19:13:02 2054762 Link
Replying To CastleBravo: "We had a radical overhaul, and the clubs organised to have it undone." The 'radical overhaul' proposed a new system where 24 games would reduce 16 teams to 12. People complaining about Cilles not winning a game and avoiding relegation. With the proposed system a team could have lost 2 games, drawn 1 and made it through. longhighball (Meath) - Posts: 23 - 11/10/2017 20:00:42 2054773 Link
Serious win for simonstown yesterday should have won by more. Surprised by the lack of talk for our 2 championship semi finals this weekend is there a shortage of interest in club football in meath? Northsidegaels (Meath) - Posts: 227 - 15/10/2017 12:35:54 2055347 Link

It was a good game and interesting contest with the best team winning, however the final score did not reflect the overall match as it was a lot closer. Tones missing a 14m free when there was 2 points in it with less than 10mins left and a strange decision -what looked like a clear penalty ending up as a throw up in first half. Simonstown are rightfully favourites, however whoever wins today will also have a say. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2189 - 15/10/2017 13:15:01 2055354 Link
Thought Simonstown should have won by more. They missed 3 clear goal scoring chances. I thought the referee brought Tones into the game with a lot of soft free in the second half. I didn't think it was a penalty in the first half as there was minimal contact and the replays confirmed same. I was expecting more from the Tones forwards Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 473 - 15/10/2017 15:44:39 2055367 Link

Thought tones were the better side for the first 20 minutes alright but simonstown got on top then and could have had another 3 or 4 goals. The other match wasn't great can't see Kells winning a keegan anytime soon they just haven't enough for the latter stages summerhill had far more up front and will he hard bet, should be a good final!

Is it down to the fact that the people who were doing most of the talking club's are now out? Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 473 - 17/10/2017 13:20:09 2055741 Link
Missed Saturdays match, didnt even realise it was on Eir. But went to game on Sunday. Summerhill were very impressive. The two Daltons inside caused no end of trouble for the Kells backline which normally break even. Summerhill should have been out of sight at half time but for some awful shooting. The only pulled away in the last few minutes. From a Kells perspective, there lack of mid field came back again. Tormay and Keegan are both good players but were out played by Ennis and M. Byrne. Should be a good battle between O rourke and Sheirdan/Nash and the two summerhill lads. Matimoe is the key to Kells playing well anything good went through him. Young Ryan (Dont know which one of them it was) did a good job minimizing his impact. Beano couldnt get into game and when he went off injured Kells fell apart completely then. Think the final has the makings of a good game. Summerhill have prob underachieved for the potential that theyve had over the past few years, but the new lads have brought lease of life back into them. I could see them getting over the line in two weeks but only just. juicy (Meath) - Posts: 384 - 17/10/2017 14:38:28 2055766 Link

Harnan won't be available for the panel next year. Nor unfortunately will quite a considerable number of our other better players. Can't say I blame them to be honest.

Replying To royaldunne: "Where is the link to harnans announcement. And who are the others ??" Get over yourself royaldunne. Your first thought is not believe it cause you think no one hears these things before You even tho you have no connection to any of the players and left the county long ago, He said it himself and you'll see come league time. Same as the other lads thinking not going back....mainly cause of Mc Entee, and before you start crying...yes some of the players told me that themselves SS6 (Meath) - Posts: 149 - 19/10/2017 21:45:59 2056375 Link
