Scraped by against Westmeath. Had the feel of a game from the Geraghty-Murphy era with that finish.

Make no mistake we were on the ropes with 5 minutes to go. Westmeath very unlucky this season so far. They could have been any amount ahead coming to the end of the game but kicked away a ton of scores.

Hopefully we were saving something for Monaghan but if we play like that again we're not going anywhere in the league for another year.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Would agree our worst performance this year. Still managed to win while playing terrible. But the atmosphere and excitement was unbelievable but  Monaghan would take us apart if it was repeated in Navan. That said some lads looked flat and out on their feet. I'd say the Down and Ross games took a lot out of them, so I'm hoping the two weeks break will be of benefit amd we will be back to previous performances. Jones and coffee seriously missed.

What was the problem with Havern's 2 pointer for down at the end of the down game?

I thought it was over at the time personally. However it was a fair banana shot. It went way would out wide before coming back in. Whether that was beyond the post or inside it, hard to know. I was sure it was a score at the game, but then I saw a replay last night and now I'm not sure again. Maybe the umpire underneath saw the path better, I dunno. All the players underneath waved wide too so could well have tailed behind the post but hit the net in a position that looked like it was well inside

I thought it looked like they'd waved a point and there was some controversy. I only saw some highlights on TG4 last night and didn't appear Laverty was overly happy on a few things.

Yeah that was it. Apparently there was a previous one where it looked wide but was waved as a point. So all swings and roundabouts really. Laverty was going mad on a lot of things tbh

imtommygunn

Ai I think he's like that so wouldn't pay too much heed. The highlights made it look like a good / controversial game.

Umpire that needs to go to specsavers.

QuoteHow can you do the tap and go incorrectly? You either keep going or you don't. There were frees for both teams in the second half and I've no idea what any of them were for.

Several ways to incorrectly go about a solo-and-go.
1) start running and take too many steps before soloing
2) bounce the ball instead of soloing
3) solo-and-go backwards (must be sideways or forwards)
4) carrying out the solo-and-go after too much time has elapsed (must be immediate)

Also, solo-and-go is not permitted inside the attacking 20m line

It was a very tight call either way. If given he'd be blamed the same as you just did from the other side. They can't win, without Hawkeye in all intercounty venues

Very Tight call? Come on now and take off the Cavan glasses.

I've said multiple times above that I think it was a score. But it absolutely was tight. So someone is getting annoyed no matter what happens here.

You think it wasn't a tight call?

No point arguing with a Cavan man over "tightness"  ;D

I know it's a joke, but is there only ever this one joke?
