Lads all this talk about betting on Meath for the all-ireland is getting a bit ridiculous. I saw Meath against Down, and they were useless. And Down are one of the worst teams in Ireland!! Didn't see the Fermanagh game, but they got it tight there as well. Meath have had a lucky draws in the qualifiers, and have got another lucky draw against Galway. Beating Down and Galway sounds impressive, but lets be realistic they are very poor teams. I hope Meath do well, because I have always liked the way Meath play football, but when the quarters come, Meath will get beat. And getting to the AIQF should be greeted as progress. Don't put too much pressure on this team with unrealistic ambitions
I have to agree with this! I wasn't at the Down game but I was at the Fermanagh game on Saturday night and apart from the full back line I thought Meath were bad! There was one corner forward (who took the frees i think) who looked good and O'Rourke looked decent for a while but faded out but apart from that Meath were nothing special - one man coming back isn't gonna change all that.
I was at the Ulster final on Sunday and there was more football played in the first 25 minutes of that game then the whole of the Meath game the night before. And if I listen to my da (who was at the Leinster final) he reckons there was more football played in the first half of the Leinster final than the whole of the Ulster so make of that what you want!
