Quote from: Blowitupref on February 23, 2025, 05:30:08 PMSome big results today. Westmeath with a mountain of challenge to avoid relegation after another home defeat.

Meath replacing Colm O Rourke with a recent All Ireland club winning manager is proving a shrewd move.

Important win for louth and what could prove a damaging one for Down.
Down didn't put up qnbig enough lead in 1st half with the wind. Got what they deserved.

Meath should definitely be targeting a quarter final place this year.

Themselves and kildare the only 2 teams outside of division 1 that I can see challenging the top 8 in the next few years.

Rossies and Monaghan with potential to reach a semi but there's no all ireland in them in the next 4 5 6 years

That's not to say kildare or Meath will win all irelands but the potential is there to challenge.

Seemed to be case in a few Div 2 games today.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Kildare would need have a decent championship before any talk of challenging anywhere have flattered to deceive for years.

O'Rourke last year said we didn't have the players. Well it looks to me like we didn't have the management or coaches.

Finally starting to play to our potential. Really good performance and to turn it around so impressively at 4 points down at half time is a real boost to confidence.

Still don't have Costello or McBride in the team yet which goes to show too. Ronan Jones has really come on this year. Went off injured today though. The Cork result in the first round is hard to fathom now but I suppose it won't always be smooth sailing.

Hopefully keep it going next week.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Meath vs Roscommon

Westmeath vs Cavan

Louth vs Down

Monaghan vs Cork


   

Meath vs Roscommon - Meath massively improved but might be a step too far this week; Rassies by 3

Westmeath vs Cavan - One of the lesser known local derbies - unless your from Finnea - Cavan by 7

Louth vs Down - Another local Derby of Sorts - Down by 3

Monaghan vs Cork - Definitely not a local derby - Monaghan by 2


Meath are 5/2 and I can't help thinking that is a bit of value. 
me too and I'll have some of that.

Ha! Good man.
PP are buying my lunch every day this week.   :)

Yeah the excuses and total rubbish sprouted last year has been proven to be just a smoke screen for a bad manager and coaching ticket. The players knew this that's why they were so critical of them in the end of year review , have to hand it to the county board for having the guts to do the right thing for Meath football, we would be on zero points if they hadn't.
Anyway that's all behind us thank goodness. After today there is a sense we left 2 points behind us in cork. But our destiny is in our own hands. I believe we will win next week and then it's winner take all v Monaghan.

It looks an average Division 2. Roscommon probably the best team but they didn't impres in the first game against Down and lost today. Last year Armagh and Donegalbeere a cut above the rest.

The tension on the Monaghan - Meath border will be unbearable.

It's like the West Bank there from Magheracloone to Meath Hill.

it will be fun up there. Assuming things going to plan next week and both win. Whoever prevails in that game will be promoted I'd say. So it really will be a defining game for both county's

There's a big gap between div 1 and 2, blatantly obvious when comparing the quality of the televised games.

I'd honestly rather watch Division 2 though

Cunny Funt

Division two more than any other division seem to have a group of teams who have decided to take each other on in shootouts not sure will that be good prep for championship when they face any Division one team who will have a defensive structures in place.
