Monaghan need to do a full rebuild, too many men a few yrs plus by 30. They had some decent underage teams in the last few years so they gonna have blood 3/4 a year.

Round 2 games set for Sunday June 2nd

Meath v Kerry - Páirc Tailteann 2pm
Monaghan v Louth - Clones 3:30pm

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

It will be interesting to see the team named. Jordan Morris is out injured which hurts our chances but Shane Walsh should be recovered from the broken toe by now.

I rewatched the league game, and Louth had a good few goal chances stopped by the keeper or a defender on the line. We were hit by 5 unanswered points after half time as well.

Still as I said before, we should be hitting our stride now if we're doing anything right and I expect a big performance to get us a win and a strong start to the group stage.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

We knew we'd be here since the Tailteann Cup ended. If he can't get that right then he's not fit for the job.

Did O'Rourke call up any of the u20s? That wing back Armstrong is excellent.

just ohalloran. But he was already involved should have called up the lads who can actually kick a free from beyond the 20 line. Should this go badly Colm will be gone at years end. It's been a very difficult couple of years even though he has some of the best players available to him over last 10 years.

I see Tyrone called up 5 players from their u20 team.

Louth destroying us. O'Rourke and the whole back room team can go now.

Louth are a good team. Second best in Leinster by a good bit.

On a seismic scale this is equivalent to the time Westmeath beat Meath

imtommygunn

Meath still could beat Monaghan who I don't think would be great this year. I would expect Louth to finish second unless Monaghan get a lot better.

thejuice

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.

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

We've beaten this Louth team many times over the years. Only thing that has really changed is coaching I.e. Harte and now Brennan.

Meath are very poorly coached and way behind on S&C. I believe we have enough talent. There's promising players coming into the senior squad and they never seem to progress.

The county board have to accept that we need to look outside the county to get the best coaches etc.
