    Gaelic is generally more entertaining than football.

    Yeah in the same way that watching two drunks having a fight in a carpark can be entertaining.

    There is a massive difference in a sporting injustice and actual criminal assaults. Throwing bottles, punches, pushes, intimidation etc have no place in any part of society. Especially towards people who are volunteering to be there.

    This is why people need to be kept off the pitch at Croke Park.

    Anyway I don't think After Hours is the place for reasoned discussion on this issue

    To be honest I am sick, pure animals out there, No excuse. No result or nothing. I never though an Irish person would behave like that. We are acting like every other s**thead country! I am sick to believe Ireland has turned out like this

    That steward who got knocked out with a bottle was my cousin :mad:, no pity for the Louth supporters - they went way too far.

    My elderly mam was at the match and she told me a louth woman threw a can at her as she went down the stairs - who the f*ck do they think they are?

    They were a disgrace really. Imagine what people here would say if that had been English fans after the German game. Those idiots on the pitch deserve criminal action and I feel sorry for the Louth fans who have been shamed by those idiots.

    No, a handful of them went too far. There is a very obvious, and quite important, difference.


    Louth was robbed and the decent thing for the Meath County Board to do at their meeting tomorrow night is to offer, at least, a replay.

    Seen what happened, it was mad. Could not believe it. We where going mad and some "fans" beside it thought it was a great laugh!!!!! We told them what we thought and they left

    Sorry to hear that, but try to bear in mind that not every Louth supporter behaved like those thugs.

    Did the ref deserve an earful ? Absolutely.

    Did he (or anyone else) deserve to get assaulted ? No.

    from louth

    was very proud of our boys right untill the final whistle.
    was never an example of great football from either side but an entertaining game to watch.

    whether or not the football was good louth still put themselves in a postition to contest the leinster final and should rightfully have won.
    In my mind the lads are rightful leinster champs.

    as for the carry on after the match, i only saw what was on telly.
    the spectators who assaulted the ref should be identified and given lifetime bans imo. not just to send out a message, but because its what they rightfully deserve. the ref and umpires got the call totally wrong but in no way deserve that sort of abuse.

    i didnt see any fighting between players, but if there was any thats a matter for ccc and is very dissapointing to hear.

    its just a shame that neither louth nor meath can be proud of today.
    meath as undeserving as france being in the world cup and louth letting themselves down not keeping their emotions under control.

    Rugby is a shining example of how a ref should be respected, of player discipline and of the absolute value of a video ref.

    its so unfortunate that so many football matches are marred by one or other incidents which need post match reviews.

    Some amount of high-horse jockies here. "no sympathy for Louth fans" yada yada yada. Be quiet. Did all 25,000 Louth fans get up and simultaneously assault every steward and Meath person that moved? No. You havn't a clue. By all means, ban those that caused the trouble, but they were a TINY MINORITY! Bloody hell, some people.:rolleyes:

    Ahem. It is possible to be from Meath and concede that Meath robbed Louth. It actually sounds very silly to be in denial of it.

    At any rate, I suggest you remove that Net Nitrate fertiliser bag that passes as your rainhood and you'll hear Meath's finest embracing that noxious habit also. You know, the sort of people who would blame all the people of a certain place for the actions of a few.

    Louth was the better team and a Meath player cheated no less than three times in the space of 20 seconds to rob them under the guise of an incompetent referee. Every single member of the Meath panel knows that they did not deserve this win. It is tarnished. The sensible, and decent, thing for the Meath County Board to do is to offer a replay.

    Pack of ****. Everyone they work with will see it and they should and will be judged. And it's obviously a tiny minority.. You can't hold a team responsible for it's hooligans.

    C-note is right about rugby, the respect the ref gets in that game is a refreshing sight.

    You must be joking! the dubs can boo with the best (much better than they can play football).

    Are you actually being serious here? Like, seriously? Do you expect dead silence at every kick? My god, you have every right to be appalled, many are. But labelling the whole of Louth a disgrace is ridiculous and plain wrong. Moaning and b*tching about a bit of booing, f**k sake.

    been to croker when more or less all counties have been playing, also went to most of the rugby game. So the Dublin excuse is not working1 I'm a cavan person!!!!!!!

    It was a disgrace today how everyone from Louth acted. All that booing crap. Never seen that venom before, not even at the Ireland v South Africa game when SA where trying to throw off all the kicks. DISGRACE and how anyone can say otherwise is a DISGRACE

    You simply havn't a clue whatsoever. So absolutely everyone from Louth today acted in an unsporting way?? If it was rugby we were talking about here I'd understand as silence is the norm but this is GAA. I find the vast majority of your posts in this thread to be highly insulting, provocative and disgraceful.

    Hey Wally, good name, just say one thing, "bit of manners" but anyway, its sport, if you love sport why would you bother booing someone? I want to see a good game and have a good atmosphere. Never seen such a hostile atmosphere in Croker in my like, and that was before the "goal". None of them wanted to watch a game!!!!!

    OK apart from quoting my posts, please post something about how Louth fans acted today. Is it better if I talk about the fans diving in front of cars outside Quinns??? or do you want me to tell all the stories of the fans today????

    Ive been going to LOI games since 1993 and ive never seen people on the pitch punching and shoving a ref. Sorry but we dont want those sorts in our league. You are stuck with them in GAA.

    Thanking you. I understand where you are coming from but I don't think it's a matter of loving the sport. Personally, I love my team, whoever they may be, and naturally if the opposition team is given an opportunity you will try and put them off!:D Anyway, dead silence can often be more intimidating than a chorus of boos.
