Quote from: Manning18 on June 22, 2025, 06:24:51 PMAfter years upon years of Meath not being liked, the vast majority of neutrals are now rooting for Meath. A very likeable team

All that needs to happen is for their fans to keep stum and not turn arrogant at the first sign of some decent results

And yet...

Meath have never been liked. Even during the Barron years. Never bothered me or anyone else. The 31 v 1 was very evident in Leinster final this year.
What's more is we have a manager and players that we can be arrogant about so we might as well be.
Do we care that some people will shout against us ? No it's how we roll. We thrive off it
Again won't win All Ireland this year. But it has been great to finally make the breakthrough that we knew this special group of very young players can do. For majority it is all about winning the all Ireland next or following year. The good times are back.

The best service you can do for your county is to stop posting on multiple different websites over the following few weeks

Eugene Branagans shooting is disgraceful for a county footballer

County team standard not good enough for the Kilcoo boys, remember.

Yes I do remember that interview

By all accounts he's not well liked in down with his off the ball antics.

More to do with hammering Kerry and Dublin. But sure tell me who do you support?

Quote from: Schkite on June 22, 2025, 06:49:59 PMIs it set that the Galway and Donegal quarters will be next Sunday then? Can only imagine what Jim will be saying if they were to have a 6 day turnaround

Would it not make sense and be fair all around given that the Dubs and Kerry played yesterday?

Would Jim be out of order to point this out?

What have they  actually done? Couldn't beat Louth. Beat an average enough Kerry team  who had  five or six  injuries, who  were through anyway. They only drew with Roscommon and beat  Cork. Everybody beats Cork.  Well, except Roscommon , who Meath couldn't beat.

No doubt  a tired, out of  sorts Donegal will  draw Meath. Beat them with  a flukey goal , with Murphy decapitating someone and  still not getting a yellow.

Something tells me  it will be a Galway Donegal final. Two teams that  should have been out long ago.

Seems to be quite a campaign you're all mounting against Murphy the past few weeks, on this and other online locations.

In fairness Robbie Brennan seems to have had a huge impact om Meath's fortunes in a very short space of time.

I remember Colm O'Rourke referring to the Meath job as a long-term project - up to 5 years.

Meath have the players and with the right manager at the helm can be justifiably optimistic about their prospects.

If Jim wants people to pay attention then he'd do well to not have them doing 4 or 5 sessions over those 6 days

Interesting dynamic which of the two factors win out?  Giving the two teams that played today a 7 day turnaround or RTE showing the Armagh v Kerry game, otherwise the biggest of the QFs won't be free to air.

Relax, it's a genuine question. I'm just wondering has this been mentioned anywhere yet so we'll know what games are what days once the draw is made

It's completely unfair if Kerry get 8 days and either ourselves or Donegal get 6.
Nothing else should come into that decision.

Cunny Funt

Armagh should take Kerry out. Dublin, Galway are looking vulnerable for next week but Galway might find a way to progress again.

Of the four winners this weekend Donegal look best placed to win next week and if they do will be hard stopped in the business end of this championship.

Indeed. Already a good year. One more win makes it a great year

Is this true or an internet rumour?

I don't think  there's a campaign against Murphy. More a campaign against referees who  haven't punished his actions appropriately
