Surprised he's gone for the same team again apart from FOC for Day which was a later change anyway. Few lads there that didn't show up at all the last day.

[Duine Eile]

Can't see Ó Curraoin starting either, he wasn't fit enough to make the subs bench last week but has gotten over his hamstring injury so well in the space of a week that he can start? Doubtful.

Meath vs Derry

Paddy O'Rourke

Donal Keoghan, Conor McGill, Mickey Burke,
Willie Carry, Brian Power, Shane McEntee;

James Toher, Brian Menton;

Alan Forde, Cillian O'Sullivan, Cian O'Brian,
Conor Downey, Brian Sheridan, Donal Lenihan.

No Reilly which is fair enough, hard to pick a stronger team at the moment with lads off the panel like Rooney and Newman injured.

[galwayman]

I'd like to see Michael Daly and Sean Kelly starting to see how they get on.

If ye don't have a better full forward than Brian Sheridan you are in a bad way. I've never seen Meath as weak in midfield before either although when Rooney comes back it will be a big boost. Can't understand why Menton was ever moved out the field and I can't understand why Keoghan is left in the corner as he is a brilliant footballer and an average man marker. Brian Sheridan looks extremely limited at FF too. Would ye not call up Shane O'Rourke and let him sit out training sessions and just throw him in full forward for the matches.

[thejuice]

I personally see more potential in Brian McMahon who is on the bench than Sheridan but we might take a more direct route tomorrow with him as a target man.

I doubt Shane will be in the squad this year anyway. Maybe he'll get a call up again in 2018 if he goes through this season with Simonstown unscathed. He's been through a lot though. Perhaps he's lucky to be playing at all.

I agree with what you said about Keoghan but we don't seem to have many other strong options in the backs either. Anyway Andy will get to  know more about them tomorrow whatever way it goes.

James Toher could be a surprise in midfield with his hurling background.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Where's Andrew Tormey this year?

[thejuice]

I think he got a run in the O'Byrne cup but I could be wrong.

[Jinxy]

I'd rather have Joe ahead of Brian Sheridan at FF to be honest.
Let Brian be sub-keeper.

Donnelly black card for Fermanagh. Arlene will be gutted

Not making much of a difference, Galway getting a hiding by the sounds of it.

Sad state of affairs in down at the minute, what the feck is going on??

Ht Clare 2-07 Down 0-03

[Duine Eile]

Galway back in it, Comer goal, Fermanagh 8 pts , Galway 1-4

Ht Clare 2-07 Down 0-03

This might be crazy, but do Clare not currently have much better footballers than Down? Down certainly don't have any player at Gary Brennan's level, or a forward of the quality of Eoin Cleary. Clare are better than decent.
