Hammer Archer wrote: » Can see you midfield causing us problems alright steve. But hopefully Tom Walsh is back in time as I think he's our best option at midfield at the moment (with Shane O Rourke being a long term absentee). Hopefully there's two wins for the boys in green that day I see Caoimhín King has left the panel due to a disagreement with Banty. Pity as I think he's a very good player to have as backup while not necessarily good enough to start. Rumour has it McGeeney has already been onto him *runs for cover* :pac:

Looked to be in good shape hopefully he's back for the Carlow game. I'd like to see alot of variation in the kickouts, maybe try a few short ones to stop Carlow completely packing midfield
Hammer Archer wrote: » Anyone else think it may be best to start with the team (with Keoghan in for Kenny obviously) that started on Sunday and bring the likes of Bray and Gilsenan on later. The last thing I'd want to see is either of them injured yet again by being rushed back. Third game against Wicklow in 5 days brought a second win for us. The Juniors won 1-16 to 2-4 in Navan. It looks like its an extremely young squad they have. Kildare up next in 2 weeks.

Hammer Archer wrote: » Unfortunately not. I'm currently living behind enemy lines in Dublin so getting out during the week is difficult. Surprised Justin Carry Lynch was on the junior bench as well as the senior one.

Plenty of speed but he looked a bit small and light for a Meath footballer. He has obvious talent though and I understand he was with some of the Louth Eircom League teams for a while.I've heard Carry Lynch is sub goalie for the seniors and was sub midfielder for the juniors last night.

The Wexford - Longford replay is now on after our game.Delighted with this as it means everyone can get home in plenty of time for the Ireland game that evening. The Dubs looked ominously good yesterday for their first game of the championship. Though it's hard to believe that we managed to be destroyed by that same Louth team.

And Dublin got crushed into dust by Mayo a little over a month ago, they had some missing player sure, but every year early season throws up plenty of aberrations, beating an off-key Louth side will count for very little against a game Longford or Wexford or Kildare (probably) down the line, two of whom had Dublin for the taking less than twelve months ago.

Hammer Archer wrote: » The last game I went to in Tullamore was the Laois game 2 years ago. I remember the Tullamore exit on the M6 was ridiculously busy so we went to the Tubber exit and went from there. Got a parking space right in the town centre about a 10 minute walk from the pitch. Going home, I saw cars a good 30/40 minute walk from the ground coming from the Tullamore exit. So maybe taking the Tubber exit would be better if it's busy.
rpurfield wrote: » thats exactly my point, we got there early enough and parked about five minutes from the ground, which was grand cos the fathers 73 so walking isnt his strong point but coming home there was cars parked two or three mile from the ground.gonna be worse with two games in though id imagine carlow and wexford would be coming from the other side of tullamore from ourselves more or less
