Best of luck to the under 20s today.Gutted I can't make it.

Hopefully they'll bring home the bacon.

All calm on the western front at the moment.

Weather is pretty awful at the moment.

Just very windy here in Ashbourne, about 25 minutes from Navan. No rain yet. Unless theres an absolute deluge overnight it will go ahead

seligehgit · 08-02-2020 4:12pm

Going to penalties in the under 20s.

Mayo 0-14

Galway 1-11

Unfortunately for you seligehgit the Tribesmen won 3-2 on penos.

TsuDhoNimh · 08-02-2020 4:30pm

Impressive game from Paul Towey. Nice to see another natural forward with potential pushing through. Unfortunate finish for the lads.

Call me Al · 08-02-2020 4:31pm

Galway win 3:2 on penalties

Sounded like it was a cracking contest given the simply awful conditions in Castlebar.

Hard luck on the lads.

What's the 2nd game that's on and what time? I wonder what time the gates open?

Meath ladies at 11.45.

Wonder are they worried about both games (for a water logged pitch) or just the effect of having 2 games on their pitch in this weather and just considering moving the ladies?

dobman88 · 08-02-2020 9:25pm

Been bucketing down here since before 6pm with no let up. If it carries through the night, hopefully they call it early with the 8.30am pitch inspection

seligehgit · 08-02-2020 11:14pm

Absolutely as I'll be hitting the road early.

jammer84 · 09-02-2020 7:34am

It's been pouring all night here in Dublin

Call me Al · 09-02-2020 8:11am

There seems to be spot flooding in the fields around me here in east Meath. And still raining.

wirelessdude01 · 09-02-2020 8:15am

Cannot see the game going ahead. I'd imagine it isn't the pitch they are inspecting but the actual place. The facilities are a disgrace. Tiny stand with a grassy bank. Place wouldn't be safe today.

I'm just outside Drogheda and there is also spot flooding on roads and in the fields. Stream behind me is following everywhere except where it should be

Blud · 09-02-2020 8:17am

We don't want this going ahead today. Not a day for football for either side, and risky for player injuries too.

If the conditions in Meath are anything like here the game should be called off.

Dont leave the house yet imo. Its been a savage night here. I'm the heaviest sleeper in the world and I was woken up twice during the night. Absolutely howling outside and no let up with the rain. I can't see it going ahead, if it does, madness.

seligehgit · 09-02-2020 8:54am

Game going ahead.

I am absolutely shocked tbh. That is just stone wall crazy. Met Eireann just upgraded to an Orange warning over the whole country too. Jesus.

GAA don't have much regard for welfare of players and supporters letting games go ahead today. The weather is ridiculous in Dublin. With GAA condensing 7 league games in 9 weeks(worse time of year weather wise)and final a week after round 7 doesn't allow much time for back matches to be played.

km79 · 09-02-2020 9:23am

Hope we manage to scrape the win and no more injuries but I’m worried

Also just spotted Tom Parsons isn’t on the bench ?

PARlance · 09-02-2020 11:08am

Some clowns calling the shots...

seligehgit · 09-02-2020 12:55pm

Believe it or not outside of a gust of wind the pitch is holding up very well.

This kind of cowardly attitude is why we haven’t won Sam in generations

Euphoriasean · 09-02-2020 2:17pm

How did he miss that, foot block?

Euphoriasean · 09-02-2020 2:20pm

Taking frees with the outside of the boot says it all about out free taker situation.

km79 · 09-02-2020 2:21pm

We need to be around 9 points up at HT
We may not score against that breeze with our shooting

The miss was a HUGE let off
We have been dreadful so far

Euphoriasean · 09-02-2020 2:29pm

How is that not a free in, shocking call.

lillielad · 09-02-2020 2:31pm

Ref is cat...

Don't know. Meath have created chances, we'll make some in the second half.

Our half forward line is very small, that could be a problem in the second half. Might have been wise leaving Aidan on the bench untiil half-time if he's not fit for 70 minutes.

Boland with another good score.

Euphoriasean · 09-02-2020 2:36pm

Could we be any more laboured. Couple of good score from Boland who is showing well.

Euphoriasean · 09-02-2020 2:39pm

Jesus christ aidan o shea taking a sideline kick. Absolutely shocking game management from a senior player.

km79 · 09-02-2020 2:40pm

Absolutely clueless in attack again
Crazy frees and sidelines
We are in trouble
Will need a lucky goal or Meath to be equally inept in attack

Padkir · 09-02-2020 2:40pm

Tactics have been atrocious. Not having a full forward line half the time with a gale behind you... Madness.

seligehgit · 09-02-2020 2:41pm

Fergal Boland the shining light in the first half.

Bunny Colvin · 09-02-2020 2:42pm

That looked like a definite footblock from Diarmuid as well, lucky to get away with it.

He got his foot to it before the Meath man, so it couldn't be a block.

Fowler87 · 09-02-2020 2:49pm

Playing alright but no denying the tactical flaws are still plain to see. AOS taking that last sideline sums that up. Lack of goal threat call ncerninh still.

Overall though not too bad and regardless of the wind we should still have too much for Meath this half

TsuDhoNimh · 09-02-2020 2:49pm

Normally players we talk about missing, but I'd swap 3 or 4 of them to have Donnie Buckley back on the line. Our tackling has been shocking all year, especially poor today.

Defence has been cut wide open a few too many times with relatively pedestrian moves. Wind responsible for a lot of the handling errors, but clearly some (major) issues with the strategy there. A few of the forwards tracking back looking at sea.

Disappointing showings from James D and Ryan so far. Though shot selection right throughout the team looking poor which isn't helping.

A lot to work on for the second half (and rest of the year). Kev Mac's carrying might be very important yet. Fingers crossed.

I think if we win it will be a case of Meath having too little. We have scored 7 points with a gale. Similar scoring and decision making last time out.
What exactly was our gameplan first half?

Hard to judge what it is in most league games. So many inexperienced lads out there especially in forwards

Ah Loftus. Miserable miss that

09-02-2020 3:01pm

Another terrible miss

km79 · 09-02-2020 3:03pm

Loftus on frees now
Christ we learn nothing
Looking forward ro Hennelly trotting up to miss the long range ones now too
