Quote from: ardtole on February 15, 2025, 03:17:02 PMWould Austin O'Malley be in the conversation after his success with Cuala?

Possibly, but I'd want to see more of him at intercounty level.
He was involved with Mayo academy in the past, and with ladies team I think.

Westneath just a point behind v Cork.
HT Cork 1-10 Westies 1-9.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

2-14 each with 10 minutes to play.   Result Cork 3-18 Westmeath 3-17  Chris Og Jones with all three goals and 4 points for the winners.

Good win for Meath against Down in Newry 0-24 to 1-18.

. They are. We have to ignore the past two years. Let's call it what it was. Total mismanagement. McEntee had left the foundation for a decent team. It's taken 3 years for us to get a top quality sideline in place. The players are there. The talent is there. It will take a couple of years but we finally have begun to play as well as could be expected. And the players have totally bought into what Robbie is teaching them. Been a long time since I seen them this united.

Div 2 is very competitive. Good win for Meath but Down were not far away in that game and will be up for the fight to stay in this league.

. Down will stay up. Of that I have little doubt. My two who I think are in danger are Cavan and Westmeath. Way too early to say for sure. But Cavan looked very poor v us

Great to see. Football needs a strong Meath.

Seeing Armagh win an All Ireland surely gives teams like Meath hope

Cavan could be heading for Rock bottom. Westmeath unlucky tonight by all accounts.

Cavan team looks slightly stronger this week though. First team coach Nally left last week though which shows not all must be well in the camp

yeah that doesn't look good. Ur right about Westmeath, but they need points on the board.

Westmeath lost some quality before the league through retirement and travel. John heslin, james dolan, Maguire and Ronan O Toole. They have played decent but withoutany points. Play Cavan next weekend in Mullingar.

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on February 14, 2025, 10:13:30 PMDown v Meath - Meath make the short trip up the motorway to Newry. Will probably get the shopping done in Asda on the way home. Expect them to bring home the 2 points as well as several slabs of cheap Italian beer. Meath by 3.

There isn't an Asda in Newry.

Apologies getting mixed up with Enniskillen.

Sainsburys will have to do.
Tesco would be the shout.

Meath looking good now. We'll regret the cork result but seems to be clicking now. Midfield did well for a few periods. Jones had one of his better games despite the cards. Need to get more out of our other forwards. Morris was class tonight but we need others to step up. Subs didn't make an impact probably helped Down regain some momentum. For all our 3rd quarter dominance there was nothing In it at the end.

We probably would've lost that game under O'Rourke last year but played a bit smarter (cynical too) now at the end. Definitely better coached this year. Roscommon at home would be a big momentum boost if we can dig out a win but won't be easy.

It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016
