Meath club level seems to be doing well but at Intercounty level there are teething problems.Now that Boylan is gone,a new era is starting for Meath but it will be a while before the results are achieved.Meath losing to Cavan hurt them much more than losing to Dublin.

Playing at club level is well and good,if you're playing outside Kildare.

I see that Dessie Hamilton has been appointed to fill the gap left by Andy McEntee who stepped down last month.
Hopefully now thats the team for the rest of the year.

Yes we do. They talk about the Dirty Dubs but they couldn't hold a candle to Murderous Meath.

Meaning that some parts of Kildare,you have to pay to play.Not membership but pay to play when you travel to other clubs.There was a thread on this months ago and somebody mentioned this.

Hello There,

I'm doing a project on Meath GAA and I need a good scanned image of the Meath GAA crest, as it appears on the jersey.

I have tried to get a jersey in Elverys in Dublin but they don't have any.

Would anyone be able to help me out on this?

After todays result...oh fcuk!!

without Meath as the old enemy things just are not right. Dont get me wrong I enjoy the fact dublin are so dominant over the royals and I really like the dubs beating any county (tyrone Laois Kerry and Armagh in particular) but we need Meath back at a level where its more tense.

Up the Dubs..

Couldnt agree more, there is nothign better as a dub than getting one over on a good Meath side, where as now, we're getting one over on a poor Meath side!:D

You can say that but we are stil able to hold you to 2 points in your own backgarden. The current meath panel is weak yet if we come through roscommon fairly easy and beat Limerick after we are still up there.

Whereas imo the current dublin team are going nowhere as soon as they play a decent team on a big stage come the end of the year i think we will as see a gulf in class between real all ireland contenders

Where does that leave Meath? Outclassed by a poor team?

Because lets face it Dublin were rusty against Meath. Had they produced a performance like the one against Kildare you'd have been on the end of a hiding.

People in glass houses and all that...:p

Stephen Bray, Peader Byrne, Stephen Sheridan & Mark Ward all hit with a stomach bug throwing preparations into disarray for the Roscommon game.

It's unclear whether they will be fit to play at the weekend.

Slightly worrying, I think Roscommon will give us a hard enough game as it is without us missing 4 of our regulars.

Meath doing well in the hurling this year. Fair play to them, they are a hurling county now, as they are rubbish at football;)

DC_Roscommon

I'll wait until after the Ros game to comment.

Leinster is not the same without a decent Meath side.Generally the rivalery is good and there is good banter among the fans, The passion is great in a tight game among both sets of supporters, apart from the few thicks who cause hassle.

As for the comment about only beating a poor Meath side by 2 pts!!! It is always like that. Its usually a bit of a fluke if one hammers the other, but at the moment Dublin are a bit ahead of Meath. But 2 wins coming up for them I think altough Limerick will e hard match. Roscommon not quite there yet to beat Meath

Ah come on now out of that, Horse. Seán gave up his job on 31 August 2005. How long are these "teething problems" supposed to last?

We need real Meathmen once again, like Mick Lyons and Gerry McEntee. Too many lads going about the place thinking about skill and other nonsense when a good decent Meath clatter - or a heap of them for that matter - would sort all Ireland out from Ballycastle to Tralee.

We are the best; we all know we're the best - we are just being impeded from greatness by ideas of football that could only come from a bunch of men in dresses. Huh.

Amen.

What role is this?? I'm a former meath club player now applying my trade in a foreign land, but try to keep up with goings on. HON THE ROYAL!!

7pm this Saturday,live on RTE 2.

Would have preferred Tullamore at an earlier time but you cant win em all I guess! Should be a good match ,though I think theres a good few injuries in the Limerick camp which is slightly worrying.

I think it will be a very close match but I think Limerick will come out on top. They gained a lot from the Cork match and have had a good break to regroup and refocus.
