If the Quinn employees around the border want to keep their jobs they would want to start working and stop protesting. It wont take much for the new owners to close the whole plant down and move the jobs to Dublin, they would probably love to have an excuse.

[On all known evidence and bearing in mind that they are Leinster champions]

Pretty damning stuff from McGee

By Eugene McGee
Monday March 14 2011
CAN Meath football really be in such a deplorable state as suggested by their resounding defeat to Donegal in Navan yesterday? I am a long time watching Meath football teams, including the 17-year barren spell when they failed to win a Leinster Championship from 1970, but I cannot remember anything as bad as this 0-15 to 0-9 reverse.

Every county has their own special traditions, which are used to boost their players when they wear the county jersey, and Meath's trademarks over the years were never in doubt.

They played direct football, went through opponents rather than around them, scored long-range points like no other county when they were on song and, above all, they never threw in the towel even when defeat looked inevitable.

Well, watching this performance, I could not see a shred of evidence that any of the attributes that have made Meath so famous exist among this group of players.

For the couple of thousand spectators present, this was truly a miserable day as they watched their team being dismantled from start to finish by Donegal.

The Meath defence – particularly the fullback line – was a shambles; they rarely won clean possession at midfield; and their forwards, who managed only a couple of points from play on their own ground, were like lost sheep.

They did not know where to position themselves, played too far out-field when they had the wind at their backs and generally lacked any sort of cohesion.

Meath, playing with the wind, went 24 minutes from the second minute without getting a score, and they also failed to score in the opening 20 minutes of the second half.

Impressive

As regards the old Meath stand-by of at least making their physical presence felt against opponents, well I cannot recall one instance of a Meath player hitting a Donegal player a decent, fair wallop.

In fact it was very much the opposite: on several occasions Meath players were left sitting on the ground after an engagement with a Donegal man.

Now, I must add that Donegal were quite impressive in this game and they had a 'cut' about their behaviour on the field that showed a lot of intelligence.

As always, their bread-and-butter game was the handpass, but I felt they made better use than usual of the foot in this game.

Of course, when you have an outstanding player like Michael Murphy as your targetman it is very encouraging to kick the ball in high and long, and indeed Donegal did make good use of that basic tactic.

What was very noticeable from an early stage was the ease with which Donegal won man-to-man contests for the ball in all areas of the field, right to the end of the game. Remembering how often previous Donegal teams have dropped out of contention for long periods in games, this was a big change.

Meath must have been mixing up tactics with the Tic-Tac sweets because they completely lost their way in that department from the start.

Despite playing with a very strong wind straight down to the town end, full-forward Joe Sheridan was playing closer to midfield for most of the first half.

In general, Meath only had a couple of forwards inside scoring range for most of that half with the wind so it was little wonder they only managed just four firsthalf points, three from frees.

Had Donegal even attempted easy goal chances they had set up rather than taking points, Meath's embarrassment would have been a lot worse.

And it must have been particularly annoying for Meath followers to watch one Donegal kickout after another being won unchallenged and often unmarked by a Donegal player.

On all known evidence and bearing in mind that they are Leinster champions and have played in two recent All-Ireland semifinals, Meath cannot be as bad as they looked yesterday.

But after three league defeats to Laois, Antrim and Donegal, there must surely be grave concerns about the trend in which this Meath team is going – straight downwards.

True, they are missing important players like full-back Kevin Reilly, but the overall attitude of the players in this game was so dreadful that it will take much more than a new player to stop the rot.

Of course, Meath still have time on their side as regards the championship and no county has been better at coming from nowhere to championship success as they have been.

Depressed Meath followers will certainly be hoping this is one great tradition that will actually kick in before summer arrives.

   still deluded

I think it is more in the region of $500k

I didn't say they were owed the money for the Wexford youths complex only that he used the subbies money to build it.
Still bullshit

Tell that to the subbies

Were does it say he took 40k, the last accounts filed showed he took 295k. We can only go by the facts.

If you were interested in the facts you would have noticed that the 2008 returns  show a directors pay of €290k p/a
You have no source for 2009 and 2010
I wrote clearly that Wallace has gone on record elsewhere as saying he takes €40k p/a

all well then  if that what he says, it must be true so
.

now I hope I made that a little clearer so you could understand it

Trying to be a condescending p***k?

no just trying to keep up with you

So much for saint Mick

It seems that the reason his loans were not in nama was not that they were performing, it was that they were with foreign banks. Also as far as putting his money where is mouth is by building the Wexford Youths complex, it is the subbies that are owed €1m that paid for that.

Where does it state that the subbies are owed for their work on the Wexford Youth's complex?

And all the time Mick was taking good care of himself by taking more than €5k per week wages.

Why do you say "all the time"?  read the article more clearly, it states in 2008 he took a salary of €290k
He has stated elsewhere that he takes a salary of €40k p/a these days

As a matter of interest, can he be a TD if he is bankrupt

If a td is bankrupt, yes,  Wallace is not bankrupt.

Make an effort to be more accurate with presenting the information contained in a simple newspaper article before you jump in with both feet.

I didn't say they were owed the money for the Wexford youths complex only that he used the subbies money to build it.

Were does it say he took 40k, the last accounts filed showed he took 295k. We can only go by the facts.

I also didn't say Wallace was bankrupt, only asked the question if he was bankrupt could he be a TD. Thanks for at least for answering that.

now I hope I made that a little clearer so you could understand it
