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?

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

Absolutely as I'll be hitting the road early.

jammer84

It's been pouring all night here in Dublin

Call me Al

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

wirelessdude01

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

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

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.

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

Some clowns calling the shots...

seligehgit

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

How did he miss that, foot block?

Euphoriasean

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

km79

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

How is that not a free in, shocking call.

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

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

Euphoriasean

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

km79

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
