Just a thread about general news and other goings on in the Royal County.

Well on Hoganstand Colm O'Rourke reckons Meath should be "the Kerry" of the East
http://www.hoganstand.com/Meath/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=104246

Have we got that potential? Have we got the infrastructure to reach our potential?


No and No and no

Then again I wouldn't worry too much what O'Rourke has to say - usually it's for effect.
Meath need to start looking at the basics again rather than getting carried away with those lkind of statements. There is plenty of talent in Meath, but the mix of hard football and skill is absent at the minute which the great Dunboyne one was excellent at bringing in.

A lot of work to do.

So is GG going to play in the big one? Whats the chat in Meath, or is it all paper talk?

thanks thejuice, but it would be a left turn off the N3 if approading from Dublin would it not? Turning right would send you out towards Duleek/Ardee?

I got there anyway thejuice, and got parking up near the ground as you said - cheers.

Eoin Reilly looked a decent player today. Was impressed by Damien Sheridan in midfield too.

Pity there wasnt a bit more fight about that experimental Westmeath side for the sake of spectacle though.

Talk of Brenden Murphy joining Longford Town soccer team. Pity if he does go, he's a great goal-keeper. Something tells me it might be a load of balls, he was quoted talking about getting another shot at the Dubs and hopes for next season. We'll see.

Looks like he's gone, ah well. best of luck to him.

Just as well David Gallagher is back in the fold as is this new lad Paddy O'Rourke looks good too.

Obviously thwre's a few regular ruppees for the soccer. hard to blame a fella for that in the current climate

He has a child on the way as well. Pity for us, but from reading the article i think he found the commitment required too much. But going to the League of Ireland is no glory hunt. Really do have to be paid to play it.
