If you were any use you'd be playing.

Players are not issuing a statement, apparently.

See - little by little, with sensible steps we can make things better. Not making a statement is a small, sensible step.

For a while there we were in danger of turning into Cork.

The anti-Cork. The players couldn't man up and agree the even release a statement that they wanted Banty to stay - which they should do regardless because their failure on the field is much more to do with their own performances and lack of structures outside of the senior set-up than it is his.

Well done. Sean, you've got your captain's seat back on a sinking ship. Enjoy it.

Carlsberg don't do Gombeenocracies, but by jaysus if they did...

Its like the world has turned on its head in here, Meath football in a state of chaos and Meathfolk in a state of delirium. Is this how all those Mayo threads looked to outsiders?
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Not really. Not till you start seeing "this is our year" posts.

It was a sinking ship when he got it the first time.

Different worlds. If he's going to do it again he'll have to do alot differently than he did thirty years ago. Does he have the stomach for a 5-7 year project to raise the playing standards in Meath, be it as manager or in an over-arching role?

It'd be a foolish man that would doubt Seán Boylan's commitment to his county.

After his antics in the past month I'd safely say it's the one that doesn't question his motives that is foolish.

I heard Banty was at more club games that he's every been to over the weekend. Looks like he wants to cling on and put it to a vote, can't see how he'll get a 2/3 majority.

He doesn't need a 2/3 majority, those tabling the no-confidence do.

No one would doubt his commitment but if he wasn't the answer 6/7 years ago why is he the answer now? Kenny Dalglish is committed to Liverpool,doesn't mean he was the right appointment.

"I'll step in if needed", now equals antics.  ::)

He's still not the long term choice. What's needed from Boylan is short term  improvement, not even a Leinster title necessarily, just an improvement. Boylan has a wealth of experience motivating players, and changing how they view wearing the county jersey. In that he has been very successful. Given the attitude displayed against Tyrone and Louth, regardless of talent in the county, the return of that pride has to be  a priority.
