It's a shame they've taken the All-Ireland MFC final off the biggest stage in recent years. Young players deserve their dance on the main dance floor. Athletic Grounds are grand but the minor finals should ALWAYS be in Croke Park before their respective senior deciders

Coronavirus has had its indirect impact on our job. Unfortunately most of us have been let go for the foreseeable future. Hopefully we'll be back and when we are we need our loyal Meath people to get behind their local paper and help us all get back on track.. til then, thanks.

And here's another thing, if Croke Park is supposed to be a neutral venue why were Dublin greeted with a massive fanfare over the PA when they came out for the 2nd half yet there was nothing played when Meath came out... Deliberate attempt to get the Dubs fans going?

Anyone else pissed off with the lack of respect given to Meath's performance last Sunday. All I've read all week was how poor Dublin were, how they are on the slide and how they didn't get out or 3rd gear. Give credit where its due please. Meath were excellent in the 2nd half
