The Celtic Tiger killed Meath football

[Jinxy]

We're gone soft according to Wee Martin.
Too rich and good-looking.
You need to be farming rocks and hauling lobster pots all day to be a decent footballer nowadays.

People can often be too critical of the celtic tiger...

I knew the game was up when a cousin of mine was wondering if he should stick a swimming pool in his extension.
And him from North Meath.
That's the type of hubris that angers the football gods.
He couldn't even swim.

Did Mick Lyon's hardware shop in Summerhill survive the recession?

I hope it did.

Meath football has gone soft - but that's what happens with age 

[Rossfan]

Will they keep the ball kicked out to their Western half?

[manfromdelmonte]

Westmeath usually cack themselves at the sight of a Meath shirt, so I wouldn't be too worried.

Also, Westmeath have taken to wearing green recently in an effort to improve their results.

I think Westmeath are due a shot at the Dubs.

Sean Boylan reckoned changing the club championship from a straight knock out to a league would damage the psyche of Meath footballers. Perhaps he was right.

Graham Reilly at it too.

"Based on that performance, we're miles off Dublin. Our passing wasn't crisp enough, our work rate wasn't good enough. I thought our tempo was okay and we were trying to do the right things but we've got to get ball to hand more often.

"Defensively, we've got to set up better. Wicklow were running through the middle of us at times. If Dublin run through the middle of us — if we do manage to get to a Leinster final — we're going to get kicked out of Croke Park again."

Sickening arrogance.

I won't do a Joe Brolly and name names, but if there is a correlation between ugliness and All-Irelands, Seán Boylan's Meath teams were serious underachievers.
