I knew that, I was applying the (George) Hamilton Principle; i.e. if there's no word for what you're trying to say, make one up.

will be very interesting to see how kerry go on sunday. overwhelming favourites. Think Meath could cause the kerry backs problems.

on paper they shouldnt have a hope
but you are right, the meath forwards (and indeed team) are playing way above what a lot of my Meath friends think they are normally capable of.

Meath need to flood the midfield area with bodies. They cannot afford another start like the Mayo game.

I think meath have to do both - get bodies into midfield and secondly way lay anything above grass.

I am looking forward to it. Esp if its a hark back to the meath football of old !

I hope there's no confusion here with remascualtion and re-emascualation.... since the former isn't a word! 

That's why we should retain the A Levels instead of Leaving Cert in 2016.

And now for the correct spelling: remasculation & re-emasculation... D'oh!

CUTE HOOR :



Meath manager Eamonn O'Brien is hoping a different Kerry show up for Sunday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final having witnessed a near-perfect display from The Kingdom last time out against Dublin.

Kerry gave a masterful display of attacking football as they swept aside Dublin 1-24 to 1-07 on 3 August to book their place in the last four.

And speaking in today's Irish Independent, O'Brien admitted: 'I was at that game. Everybody saw it. The football was almost perfect. If that Kerry turns up, we won't live with them.

'Hopefully they mightn't be that good when they play us. To my mind it was near perfection in terms of football, in terms of execution of passes, movement off the ball, speed, creating scores, taking chances. Everything was there's that's great in Gaelic football so hopefully they don't produce another one like that.'

It is now, thanks to Billy and I'll thank you to have some respect for the principles it represents as we single-handedly take on the task of restoring the reputation of Northern hemisphere football.

Glad to hear it, and gratitude duly proferred, though I probably won't be able to think of anything other than re-emasculation with that fecking Meath accent, though I'll do my best.

I can only see a comfortable Kerry win in this one, Meath had a very handy run to this stage and I expect them to find the step up in class to be way too much. Kerry by about 6.

But will Kerry have the step up in class for 2 games in a row? Maybe the Dublin game was a one-off.

People were saying the same about Cork after the Limerick and then the Donegal games, Sunday will tell a lot about our real status.

No -  what?

just heard hamstring rumour, not overly reliable source, hard to know....

No mention of it, Shane O'Rourke and David Gallagher are back in the Meath squad though. They'll hardly get time on the field.
