of this only 1 minute 20 seconds were played - Meath man beside me had a stopwatch.
About 2 minutes and 20 seconds were played, I wouldn't go by a Meath mans stopwatch
I agree, the timekeeping needs to be looked at, there was only 2 minutes added on in the Dublin v Meath game when 5 minutes would have been more appropriate.0 -

I was at the match and Bray getting the red card is not the issue. It's whether O Riordain should have gotten one for provoking the attack. I heard from people on the bus afterwards who had a better view that said that the Limerick player gave as good as he got before he got struck.
Your first sentence is a nothing statemant. So what if he's from Meath? You're from Limerick. That means you're biased too!
oh god, i thought this argument was finished but of course, its brought back up again.
You obviously were angry due to the remarks i made about meath supporters. If you think that im a lying bicth, then go and check out an fear rua.. That should deal with this area of our discussion.
Next.. I understand bray isnt a dirty player but neither is mark o riordain a cheat. Kiely came out trying to defend his teammate when he got hit. Would you leave your teammate alone on the ground after being hit infront of you by the opposition?
The umpires thought it was a red (god, i hate repeating myself!) and bray didnt object.
So red it was..
Oh, by any chance, were these people you were talking to on the bus from the royal county?
Living in clare for the last while, ive learnt to try and not be biased. Its hard, but i try. O riordain got hit.. He is not a cheat! You said that he got as good as he gave, then obviously you are saying that he got hit hard enough to receive treatment, yes?
Ye won and ye are still complaining... Come on like!
Ah sure, what can i do like
EDIT: O riordain may have started the incident. A yellow card being the result. Obviously if the cards are dished out sufficiently, brays hit should have been much more harder then o riordains 'provoking'. Bray is not a dirty player, i know that.. But what he did yesterday was outta order.0 -
The injury time allowance is one thing that annoys me. We've seen it done wrong so many times and tonight was another example. There were 4 or 5 substitutes made, thats 1 min of added time (10 seconds per sub). Between Mark O'Riordan receiving treatment and the ref dishing out the cards to Kiely and Bray, that was another 3 minutes. Kenny, the Meath no.5 also went down ''injured'' (most likely time wasting tactics) after an innocuous tackle by Stephen Lucey. Thats another 30 seconds. .
I'm pretty sure you are refering to the challenge which resulted in Kenny dislocating his finger and needing a physio to put it back in there and then. Yeah what a time waster, needing 30 secs to recover from a dislocated finger :rolleyes:. I'd say almost every other team in the country would have just kept the ball in hand and played it among themselves for the last 3/4 mins of the game instead of doing what Meath stupidly/admirably did by continuing to kick the ball forward looking for scores.
The ref didnt have a great game but giving out about the last free for steps is very petty. Did he take extra steps? Yes he clearly did so it was a free out, end of. Whether or not it would have been given against Kerry, Tyrone etc is hypothetical BS. Anyway there is no possible way that the second Limerick goal should have stood, the square ball rule is obviously very hard to judge but that was a blatant offence and surely one of the umpires should have had the balls to call it.
The booing and abuse which some Meath fans were directing at the Limerick players and fans is unfortunately just part and parcel of GAA matches these days. If the Limerick team decided to come out and play for the second half on time instead of trying to play some silly mind games maybe they wouldnt have been booed so much on their reappearance. Also if Limerick had enough fans at the game i'm sure some of them would have been at the same lark. Its a shame that things have followed the path of soccer support but when you have Limerick players consistently going down easily (again its not a tactic unique to Limerick) looking for and getting frees ala Ronaldo you cant really blame supporters for thinking they are at a soccer match. As I didnt see the Bray incident (only an umpire it appears did and given their inability to call square balls, pick ups or other foul play when its right in front of their faces you have to question whether they should be given the power to effectively end a players season ) I'd be very suprised if Bray hit out for no reason and even more surprised if he struck him with such force as to warrant the 5min break in play. Giving O'Riordain the benefit of doubt perhaps bray caught him right on the money and winded him for a few minutes. Either way Bray should have known better, he has sufficient experience at this stage, he is the captain of the team and he was 5 mins from leading them to a 1/4 final until he did that. He deserves to be suspended and hopefully he learns from the incident.
Saying Meath definitely arent a top 8 team now is very much a bitter Dublin supporters view of things. Obviously without any official ranking or league system we will never know but guess what come Monday afternoon we might still be in the All Ireland and the Dubs might not

You know, Kildare knocked us out of the championship last year and in their following matches I actually supported them because I wanted to see a decent, hard working team of good footballers do well.
From altercations with the meath fans yesterday and reading their posts on here I really hope Mayo wipe the floor with Meath next weekend.
The fact that so many Meath supporters have to come on here and personally discredit Limerick and its players drives me mad. Meath were definatly the better team in the end, but Limerick put it up to them in the second half playing very good football that Meath struggled with losing their lead. It was nothing to do with 'Ronaldo' type dramatics , the umpires supposed inability to see foul play or Limerick 'mind games' that Meath had a poor second half.
Limerick may have a long way to go in terms of stamina, fitness and attacking skills (something I blame on poor managment/training) but they are NOT a dirty team!0 -

Its not bitterness, its truth. Dublin are a better team then Meath at any rate. The Qualfiers have distorted gaelic games, and by virtue of very lucky draws, Meath have actually been made look somewhat respectable. Remember, the only decent team Meath have faced was Dublin, and Dublin were still able to hit 15 wides and win by two.0 -
Not at all. Why would I be angry? I found your remarks amusing. We won, after all. :cool:soccymonster wrote: »oh god, i thought this argument was finished but of course, its brought back up again.

gosh, i would have never guessed due to your reaction to some of my comments about meath supporters.
By posting that, it just proves my point on how there was ungracious winners in the crowd yesterday. Thanks for that.
Gud luck in the quarter final... The meath 'team' are gud group of players.0 -
Haha. We had about 5,000 there out of a crowd of 7,300. Of course we have a little bit of a right to be a bit smug. Ungracious would be the wrong word.soccymonster wrote: »gosh, i would have never guessed due to your reaction to some of my comments about meath supporters.
