I think someone said any leftovers will be on sale outside the ground.

Sorry if you've already discussed this but will there be tickets for sale at the ground on Sunday?

Is it at 2.30 at Parnell Park?

2.30 it is - as it stands, there wont be any tickets available on Sunday, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few floating around.

I might have one or two spare, so if anyone is stuck, send me a pm on Saturday evening/Sunday morning..

I'm quite happy Brogan isn't available for this one. Defenders hate pace. Keaney, Quinn and Jayo are not exactly the paciest customers around so I don't think our backs will be caught for speed.

Brogan always plays well against Meath too, seems to raise his game. Will be missed.

Just a comment on the vaughan/Ward debate. I would agree that they are similar players but Ward is far better from play than vaughan. Ward's problem is winning ball, once he has it, he can create something out of nothing. Also, Ward can actually go by his man, something which i've never seen Vaughan do. I'd say vaughan would be a slightly more reliable free taker. I think Ward should be played at centre forward, a sticky corner back is nightmare for Ward but a loose centre back, he could destroy.

Jinxy · April 18, 2008, 06:40:01 PM

Yeah, centre forward might be worth a go. He can roam around and get involved in the play. I'm hoping that the King experiment works so it will free up Moyles to move into midfield with Ward. If Cian could do a job at 11 as well that would be ideal. I dunno if he has the engine for it though. You don't need speed to be a good centre forward but you need to be able to get around the pitch and work like a dog.

The Claw · April 18, 2008, 07:31:17 PM

He was very good there against Roscommon Jinxy, he was moved away from there imo becuase Moyles didnt play well centre back, they couldnt drop Moyles so they moved him to cf and Ward to the corner. What king Experiment? I missed the last few games, him playin CB is it? Couple of years back i thought he was the bluechip centre back but recently not so sure, maybe if he got more vocal, he needs to organise people around him.

Jinxy · April 18, 2008, 08:43:22 PM

Yeah I mean King playing centre back.

was reading RTé's preview of this game, i like this quote the most

QuoteDiscipline will be hugely important, as this fixture invariably throws up one or two scuffles.

they gave the Dubs the nod though,

Jinxy · April 19, 2008, 02:34:55 PM

I hope the Dubs leave their angry pants at home for this one. Has the makings of a very enjoyable game.

heffo · April 19, 2008, 07:49:28 PM

I have a spare unreserved stand ticket - if anyone need one, pm me..

Just read in the Meath post that Cormac McGuinness has walked way from the Meath panel due to lack of opportunities.

Only 21.

What do the meathmen think, much of a loss?

Jinxy · April 20, 2008, 12:04:18 PM

You never like to see anyone leaving the panel but it's obvious he had dropped down the pecking order. Wouldn't have been in my championship XV anyway.
