I always go back to the AI final last year, when they had built a little stage for the Kerry lads, to do a proper trophy presentation, so the entire team to get involved, and the idiots ran on the pitch and ruined it, so it was back into the cramped Hogan. The problem won't go until the fans' mindset changes, and that won't happen.

I have no clue why I told you that, kinda went off track.... If you read it, fair duce!
Tiz a disgrace and all that but really shows how much gaa games mean to people, tiz theyre summer meaning.. gardai were utter shite, they should have been one at each side and just kept jogging off with him. Or atleast take out a gun a threaten.. :pac:

Louth totally deserved to win the game because there were about three reason's why the Meath goal shouldn't have been allowed: square ball, he carried it over the line, and then he threw it the rest of the way in! And afterwards Joe Sheridan tried to say that he should have got a penalty, he was pushed over the line and that he didn't throw the ball the reest of the way over the line. But you can't put most of the blame on the Meath team, it was the fault of the ref and the umpires. The ref had the goal marked down even before he had consulted with the goal umpire and then he just told him straight out to award a goal for Meath, he didn't take any time to speak to the other unpire who had a clear view. Meath should definately offer Louth a replay. If they do, I will hate them slightly less and as much as I would like to see Louth beaten becuse they beat Westmeath, I have a serious disliking for Meath.

Making up ridiculous things like "my momentum got me over the line and I just put the ball in the net". Like wut? The meath manager didn't seem happy at all. during the presentation, during his interview. Hard that some of the players had to win their first leinster medal under those circumstances too. hey... I was talking about football :P (hurling makes me sad to think about)

soccymonster wrote: » lol don't worry :P Ah yea, he kinda put it out there and was sending signals in his interview to the Meath Co. Board to not replay it. But Eamon O' Brien is some sly little fecker I don't think it's right to allow meath co. board to deal with this. It's a huge responsibility. They'll be in the wrong with whatever decision they make. I'm just hoping for some sort of justice. *fingers crossed*
