Live updates from Meath GAA meeting with a huge amount of uncertainty emanating out of the Meath footballing camp, it is hard to know which way tonight's meeting of the county board will go.

Press F5 or refresh for latest update

20:52pm Lot of people blaming the players and not the management.

20:51pm It seems to be 50-50 on people wanting Banty to say or go.

20:48pm Barney Allen is talking about himself and Cyril Creavin meeting up with the players on two different occasions to discuss the problems within the team.

20:40pm The floor has been opened to delegates to have their say on the matter of "Banty" being in charge. No doubt a lot of people will have thoughts on share. We could be here for hours.

20:30pm There is expected to be a motion put forward to remove current manager Seamus McEnaney from the position and go forward into this summer's All-Ireland campaign with a fresh face in charge.

[Sifting through recent results of the Kilkenny football team, at senior, minor and under 21 grades I could not help but grimace. The Cats finished bottom of NFL Division 4 with an embarrassing score difference of -241 this season. Their under 21′s sprung to national prominence for all the wrong reasons in late February when their panel of only 15 players were tortured by Louth by a scoreline of 6-35 to 0-02. Last Friday evening their minor footballers were beaten by 50+ points by Offaly. Is this slide irreversible? Or could some smart thinking and extra resources change the way football is treated within the county.]

What would people think of the idea below?

Or could some smart thinking and extra resources change the way football is treated within the county.

Is it unthinkable that placing the county footballers in the national spotlight could begin a big ball revolution? As a GAA fanatic I have watched the success of Reality GAA TV Shows, namely Celebrity Bainisteoir and the Underdogs. It is fascinating how added resources, improved structure and the introduction of a camera can galvanise a team, while also mobilizing the surrounding community. If such a structure was put in place in Kilkenny I am fully sure that enthusiasm surrounding the county footballers would increase no end. There is footballing talent within the county, it is just a matter of unearthing it and giving players a structured platform to prove themselves.

My plan for the program would play out as follows......

1. A well known management team put in place. Mick O'Dwyer would be ideal , flanked by young blood such as Dara O'Cinneide, Ciaran Whelan etc. This management team will take Kilkenny footballers through a season of league and championship.

2. A documentary style program which will follow the team for a year.

3. A huge recruitment drive throughout the county luring all potential talent to trials.

4. A process where approximately 30 eager a..................................

Galway and London GAA communities have been plunged into shock after young Gort native Cathal Forde died while training with Kilburn Gaels in Highgate last evening. http://www.sportsnewsireland.com/gaa/99624/

This is getting so common its unbelievable. Such tragic and sad news for the family.
