Muineachán v An Mhí, NFL Division 2 Round 2, Clones, Sunday 9th February 2014

[thejuice]

The game should be on LMFM.ie although coverage will be split with the Louth game I'd say.

Both teams line out the same as last week.

Paddy O'Rourke;
Donal Keogan, Kevin Reilly, Michael Burke;
Padraic Harnan, Bryan Menton, David Dalton;
Andrew Tormey, Shane O'Rourke;
Cillian O'Sullivan, Damien Carroll, Graham Reilly;
Eamon Wallace, Stephen Bray, Michael Newman.

There's also split coverage on Northern Sound between this game and the Cavan game.
If the splits line up then it might work out. Anything to escape Michael Tynan covering the Cavan game. That can be a near death experience.

Sounds like the weather conditions will be ideal for the Monaghan lads.

This is a big test for Meath. At the Galway game last week, Meath were devastating when they got the overlaps going and should have scored had twice as many goals. Monaghan I think will be a lot more organised in defence and it won't be so easy to attack with such pace so it's going to be good to see how Meath cope. The other worry is how open Meath are at the back. There doesn't look to be any appetite in Meath to go with a defensive gameplan. The three half-forwards are all proper forwards - not like what you get with other counties where you get a defender on one wing and another the other side who doesn't know how to score. Same with Meath's midfield - two players who spent their lives in the forwards.  Looking forward to it and I think if Meath win, we can be quite confident about the Armagh game in Navan in 3 weeks meaning we could potentially travel to Donegal with 6 points from a total of 6 available.

Jonathan Swift vs. Big Tom, fertile plains vs. rush-infested drumlins, beef bullocks and thoroughbreds vs. mushrooms and chickens. There is only one acceptable outcome.

Horny-handed sons of Ulster versus the squireens of the Pale. There is only one acceptable outcome.

Northern Sound
"21 minuted gone, Monaghan 6 pints to no score and there's a bite to this game"

edit 
a few minutes later

Monaghan 0-9 Meath 0-1

Consistent fouling by the Meath savages "especially when McManus gets on the ball"

Monaghan 0-08 Meath 0-00

Jesus Christ.

Northern Sound

" OOoooooooooHHHHHHHHHh McManus,  lovely score from McManus, nonchalantly hit over his shoulder, Monaghan on fire"

Monaghan 0-10- Meath 0-1

[seafoid]

Monaghan obviously very up for this and meath point scoring problems seem to have resurfaced 

[Main Street]

After the crazed excitement from the commentator on the Monaghan game, fortunately we (Northern Sound) switch over for some downtime to the Cavan game with a large dose of mogadon inspired commentary.

Monaghan 0-12 -- Meath 0-1

what in the name of Tommy Dowd is going on?

Is there a hurricane blowing down the field?

[donegal lad]

Monaghan 0-13 Meath 0-1 HT

What are the conditions like assuming Monaghan playing with a strong breeze. Either that or maths all out attack tactics have been found out already did once end a lot against an average Galway team last week
