By POR's reckoning, why would anybody bother doing anything, for 99% of the population they have no chance of being the very best at what they do, whats so wrong with being the best you can be? by hard work, dedication and all that you can. longroadback (Meath) - Posts: 300 - 09/05/2018 12:30:14 2097523 Link
Replying To Loyalroyal17: "It was a very low blow he gave by stating to the media that we weren't going to win anything so what is the point. That must have been a punch in the guts for Andy and Co, he is entitled to his opinion on the matter just as much are Mr. O'Rourke is when asked. Nothing wrong in that." I agree with u lad but I don't know why 2 weeks before champ this has to come up it not adding up to me.it not great mindset from a manager getting a team prepared if I was player I'd b saying let's move on forget this rubbish.just my opinion Reco (Meath) - Posts: 419 - 09/05/2018 13:14:36 2097548 Link

Yea id say players are sick of hearing it aswell. Time for full concentration on the Championship. Loyalroyal17 (Meath) - Posts: 627 - 09/05/2018 13:47:02 2097557 Link
Are we Expecting team announcement Friday? royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 09/05/2018 17:03:18 2097627 Link
Replying To bert09: "O Rourke disrespected his former teammates, the Meath management team, future Meath players and supporters who travel to support the team through good times and bad. Very poor judgement on his part." Absolutely, it shows a rotten defeatist mentality, that Andy is trying to change. He's trying to change the culture in Meath, and then Paddy comes out with that.. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 09/05/2018 17:45:14 2097636 Link

Very poor judgement on his part." I think that you are over stating the importance of what has been said. Players get on with the job of training and playing and are not influenced by sideshows. Stating that it will effect future players is overstretching it a bit. It's time to move on. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2189 - 09/05/2018 18:30:02 2097647 Link

Replying To Reco: "Will he put out championship team??" I'd say it will be a mixture players like Cian O'Brien etc will be given game time, is their a need to start biggy keoghan? I personally wouldn't I'd bring them on in second half. But that's just my opinion. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 09/05/2018 18:48:40 2097653 Link
Ok on a entirely different aspect of this. Should we win who will collect cup? Now obviously everyone will say Brian as HE IS capt. but if this game was played and comp finished when should have been it would be graham. Just something I thought of. I'll be honest I have too much time on hands after been under the weather and spending Monday night until tue eve in mgar hospital, and now bed ridden for next week with pneumonia (haven't a clue how I got it, but Christ it's some dose ) on what seems like 50 tablets a day, I have too much time to think about trivia things. But one things for sure come hell or high water I'll be in cusack park on Sunday. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 09/05/2018 18:56:04 2097656 Link

Indeed...and if that's the attitude is it any wonder that we appear to have gone soft? Losing massive leads etc bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1668 - 09/05/2018 19:43:49 2097662 Link

Yeah, its overstating it I suppose but I would see the senior players as setting an example for the lads coming through...anyway, agree- time to move on bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1668 - 09/05/2018 20:25:24 2097669 Link

Maybe they could both collect it? One hand each to raise the cup. But Brian should make it clear to him when we win Leinster that he will be the one lifting the cup. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 10/05/2018 07:17:12 2097741 Link
Byrne cup or not Meath need to win this and get some momentum before Longford. westmeath will play better against us than they will play in the their first round of championship , the ref will be the usual anti meath but meath should and have to win. Embarrassing to give up a 10 point lead to them a few years ago - the performance in this game will tell us if we are in shape to beat longford .

We wont see too many from Championship line up for this one. Biggy, Keogan, Menton to name a few i reckon we wont see. Its more like a challenge game with a bit of silver at the end of it at this stage. RD you defo need to get out more when you get back to yourself haha :-) Loyalroyal17 (Meath) - Posts: 627 - 10/05/2018 11:32:34 2097796 Link

As for the game itself, considering the ridiculous format of the year the GAA set out, we ought to be treating it as a championship game selection and intensity wise you'd imagine. The timing has worked out well for both teams in that regard. dunboynelad (Meath) - Posts: 198 - 10/05/2018 11:44:07 2097803 Link

But sure hoganstand is just about keeping me sane. Hope to be feeling better for Sunday. But I won't rush out if I not , even though it's close to me. Just my luck lol royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 10/05/2018 21:15:03 2097979 Link
Any word on a team announcement for Sunday? Surely we deserve to know the team a couple of days in advance of the game. So hopefully the team is named asap and this nonsense of namming dummy teams stops. RoylerKing (Meath) - Posts: 809 - 11/05/2018 08:21:58 2098018 Link
