Most interesting league we've had in some time it has to be said, and while I am of the 'better safe than sorry' camp, it would be a shame for it to be interrupted. But it's only sport at the end of the day, and people's health comes first. That said, it would be a real shame for the competition to draw to an end before some other talking point hasn't been created that could replace the endless moaning from some royal snowflakes. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 2859 - 10/03/2020 18:40:52 2273284 Link
Replying To BeJasus: "Meath wont be missed in Div 1 . Mayo i feel will join them but i expect them to do a Donegal and sleep-walk their way back up next year." Referees won't miss Meath anyways lol monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 208 - 10/03/2020 19:08:00 2273287 Link
Replying To Royal.Legend: "I see allot of galway supporters really taking offense to meath fans complaining about there clinical play leading up to half time, if I was from galway I be delighted reading through them posts and even happier with the result in navan, this was a game galway would of lost in the past as they probably would of been down allot more then the four points at half time,unfortunately nice boys dont win the big prizes and as we know with past meath teams you have to be prepared to break the rules from time to time, we know galway have class forwards and on there day they can do serious damage and now we know they can bend the rules when things arnt going so well, so for me joyce is making good progress with galway and hopefully soon they can be a real contender for sam Maguire. Hopefully we meet again in the summer as meath galway games are always interesting and generally always close." Galway fans don't have any issue with the cynical stuff. Our issue is Meaths supporters belief that only one team were at it. Takes two to tango. Meath were as culpable as Galway. Black card at the end which has injured one of the Galway players is was one of the most cynical fouls since Mr. Cavanagh caused Brolly to soil himself. Just Galway fans are willing to admit their involvement in what happened. Anyway it's in the past now. We scraped two points we didn't deserve. Mayo Vs. Galway is no TV. If want to see everything "bad" and basically the destruction of the game then tune in Sunday. Won't be for the faint hearted or the purist. I for one can't wait.

Replying To The_Fonz: "So ya like Galway, but ya don't like Galway. You said yourself "Joyce lived up to his name" whatever that was supposed to mean......" Are you that thick?? I didn't like their antics at the last game them or Joyce LIVING UP TO HIS NAME. That been said prior to that I have always admired Galway , and Down.

Galway got away with it and were much smarter then we were, its something this present meath team need to learn if we want to turn them narrow losses into narrow wins. Think galway should have too much for mayo on sunday and as you said it should be a feisty affair, but then again anything is possible with mayo.

Replying To BeJasus: "Meath wont be missed in Div 1 . Mayo i feel will join them but i expect them to do a Donegal and sleep-walk their way back up next year." Meath will be missed big time. A handy 2 points for the other 7 teams. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 10/03/2020 23:05:49 2273320 Link
Never saw so much crying going on from the Royals, Galway should just give them the points. The 2 Meaths, East and West should be allowed to merge and they should have their own team ref. Problem solved. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1042 - 11/03/2020 09:31:57 2273337 Link

And a recent appreciation of Donegal due to their fans" I must be, because you are still not explaining the comment of him "living up to his name" either. As a footballer Joyce was one of the cleanest I've ever seen and his intercounty management career is only in its infancy so he hardly has much of a name built up yet. Unless it's an issue you have with the Joyce name? The_Fonz (Westmeath) - Posts: 141 - 11/03/2020 09:45:23 2273339 Link

Royaldunne should be allowed ref all Meath games going forward. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 565 - 11/03/2020 10:23:31 2273348 Link

I have to say, out of all the yoyo teams posters on this forums that the Meath fans were the most entertaining. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 208 - 11/03/2020 15:40:54 2273415 Link

A few Meath lads have done their reputations no favours with all this spiteful whinging. Time to move on lads. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 2859 - 11/03/2020 20:38:11 2273462 Link

Replying To mickcunningham: "what an absolutely disgraceful and bigoted comment ." It's a shame certain posters (perhaps with limited intellect, although that's no excuse) haven't the ability to express their frustrations with their own teams limitations and instead attack a legend and gentleman of the game. cuttothebone (Kildare) - Posts: 124 - 11/03/2020 22:03:50 2273483 Link
