Seeing too much of yourself in others
My mind often fluctuates in thought regarding how Meath’s greatest ever team – that at their zenith between 1986 and 1991 – would fair out in the Gaelic football of today.

Bench press lifts Meath over the line
Meath…1-11 Longford…0-13 Late drama involving Meath teams is about as surprising as somebody wearing green on St Patrick’s Day. We may never get used to it, but who cares as long as we’re coming out the right side of the action? Not too many.
