Sam Maguire 2024 Group 4 - Kerry, Louth, Monaghan, Meath

[joemamas]

Well done Louth but it is hard to see Meath like this.
The malaise in football is bigger than just Dublin.

Agree with latter point, part of me just feels like they should play the semi-finals and have two legs.
No doubt where the winners will come from, Dublin, Donegal, Kerry, (possibly a full Galway team).
difficult to get excited about the Q/Finals this year.
What team will beat any of those four. ?

If I were Meath County board I'd be going all out for Malachy O'Rourke.

He could transform that team if given time.

Would Meath not get their U20 manager on board?

They need a rebuild with that minor and now that U20 squad.

That move hasn't done much for Offaly

They need a top manager who commands respect.

They have the raw materials, just need some outside influence that knows what it takes to compete I reckon. But only my opinion.

[Dunneroyal]

No. We're done. Need to look elsewhere for a manager now. Serious failure today. I don't care how good Louth are, we shouldn't be that bad.

. Absolutely. It's over for Colm. Should never have appointed in first place. Cb need to get act together NOW

[imtommygunn]

Kildare and Meath same boat. Some half decent underage players but from the outside looking in it looks like in both counties they have went for former playing legends and it hasn't worked out at all. Yes it runs a bit deeper than those two men but if Louth can raise their level like that Meath and Kildare should be fit to do something too.

3rd louth goal very lucky, Meath doesn't seem to play with a sweeper. Every top county does these days.

. Colm is a legend of the game. But too long out of county seniors. He just hasn't got what it takes. I'd argue that we got to super 8s and division one with less talented players. But we were lethargic and bereft of any ideas. What is letting us down now is manager and coaching. It's over the game is up. We cannot let these players who I believe are capable of bringing Meath to div 1 and all ire quarters drift aimlessly away cb need to act asap. This can't be let run for another year.

You mean 15 sweepers nowadays.

[Rossfan]

Well done Louth.
I'd say ye fairly enjoyed that

O'Bric should be involved in any set up but I think we need a proven senior county coach. O'Bric can take the senior role eventually.

Malachy might be an option but I would also look in Dublin as well for a manager and coaches. Someone who has been involved with Jim Gavin.

I'd go for obric and Brennan as joint managers.  New fresh and know what is needed. They have a huge rebuild to do. Colm has brought us to the lowest level I can remember, we went from 25k expenses under Andy to 125k under Colm in one year. To do what ? Lose our seeding in Leinster, get beat by Offaly not qualify for all ire first year. Yea we won tc beating div 3/4 teams. Lucky v Antrim and Down. But we got there. Again this year no improvement in league and now another disaster in championship. Colm is not a senior manager Latin phrases won't put the ball over the bar. I'd like to see a statement from Meath cb saying that at end of campaign we wil be moving forward with a new appointment

He'll be over Derry next year I'd say.

You could be right especially if they go out in a Preliminary quarter final.

The Derry job was always a tough one to take on after RG.

A team playing very close to full potential.

In contrast to the Donegal job.
