Ger Canning is stealing a living.

So was Colm O'Rourke as a pundit on RTE for 30 years. Now he's stealing a living as a Manager.

Nonsense. As well qualified as anyone in Meath to be in the job.

Nonsense. As well qualified as anyone in Meath to be in the job.

He has been given a ringside seat to every top game and team for 15 years or more and still doesn't understand the modern game.

Poor shooting really let us down but ultimately it's disappointing but not all that surprising. No surprise  that we'd get caught out playing the style of play that we've taken but at the same time shot selection and accuracy didn't help at all.

Do you not think the poor shooting was in the last quarter when game was well over?

Missed the first half to be honest but going on the second half our shooting was deplorable. Unfortunately we're not going to get promoted with a makeshift midfield, we got by in the previous games but this was the real test of us against a top team and it's clear to see that there are still serious shortcomings.

Sean Cavanagh's pre-match analysis:
Derry rely too much on scores from Shane McGuigan

Derry score 2-08 in the first half, McGuigan with 0-01 of that total.

Cavanagh hasn't a clue or an original thought in his head.
He's perfect for rte, soundbites and clichés

Tv might not have shown it, but there was a strong  breeze, especially at the car park end. Along with rain conditio s were  ot great.
I thought meath were efficient enough with the number of chance they had. But Derry were totally dominant and forced meath to shoot from poor positions.
O'sullivan (I think.....number 10) is a serious footballer. Just did t have enough support.
Derry have certainly stepped up a gear from the last couple of matches. Looked more purposeful going forward, really tight at the back and for the first time this year won the midfield area.
Some very good individual displays, but all round team performance was excellent.  Only very slight criticism is that we should have scored more goals  and we should have used the subs earlier.
I'd be a lot more co fide t about remaining games now with Dublin being the biggest test.

It was more than a breeze, it was a 8pt very very strong wind that you only know if u were on the terraced side, goal at end of the first half gave us the gap we needed. On another note, what's the farce with so few programmes, how many do derry get printed?

Derry likely are not used to supporters.

Derry aren't the best with 45s, McGrogan or Glass would catch a odd one but we very inconsistent. The keeper can kick the ball near 70/80m, how come over the past year or 2 that he not trained up to take 45's and long range frees?

Is Derry Dublin game sold out?

Is Derry Dublin game sold out?

Had a look there and it doesn't seem to be. I can't see how it sells out have we ever sold a game out? Maybe the AIF in 93!

That's bollocks. Meath still have a lot of work to do.

Only person who can call bollocks on that is O'Rourke.
We will see in the next 3 games.

Says on TM that there is low arability but if you search for tickets says none available. Maybe these are not actually on sale yet until the week of the game?

[screenexile]

You scared me into buying my ticket now just to be sure.

If you go through the GAA ticket site below you should be able to get them...
