G'wan Louth!!!

Mr Magnolia

Huge amount of talk on newstalk about a replay. I thought there wasn't a chance. The Leinster board are currently meeting though it'll be up to Meath and not the Leinster board to offer a replay.

We were by far the better side. Awfully disappointing, can't see how Meath fans would be happy, any I spoke to weren't.

I can only imagine the heartbreak that Louth fans must be going through.

Yer players can hold their heads high though. Great display from a team written off from the start.

The Action of the so called supporters who Haggled the REF after the game should not be seen as the view of the 20000 genuine Louth supporters who were there.
They should get a life time ban.
We were Clearly the better team on the field in the second half and deserved the Leinster championship.
If the GAA or Meath Council want respect,then the very least the Louth Players deserve is a replay.

Ye deserve a replay lads,that was an outrage today with that goal been allowed.

It was a great crowd, there was about 25,000.

There was 1 or 2 people that remonstrated at the end and no official should have to put up with that abuse, I'm sure the gardai will deal with them appropriately, let's not go mad with the tar and feathers.

Everyone else was (me included) in disbelief, when the incident with the ref happened I knew that their actions would detracted from the shocking decisions on the pitch and that's sickening for me.

Sickening is too light a word to use regards those thugs, a man in his 50's swinging a punch and thankfully missing the ref is worthy of a few nights under lock and key :mad:

Under what law?

The security at Croke Park is a massive joke and always has been.:mad:
Plan "B" my ass.
A very small(minded)minority of Louth supporters acting in the way they did only took away from the massive injustice that happened.
Justice for Louth!!!

If Dundalk & Drogheda didn’t have a train station this wouldn’t have happened,
Its the soccer fans, Louth have never had to board a train or a bus for a GAA game before and therefore expect they should behave like they did in Tallagh,

Your kidding right? Numerous public order for a start, are you saying these guys should not be arrested and charged for something that if it happened on west st would be locked up for?

Several of the Louth supporters that went after the ref would spit in your face before they would go to a "soccer" match:)

How long would someone be locked up for for approaching someone in an aggressive fashion? Also it would have to be an aggravated offence in this case. We aren't the law though, so we'll see what happens.

Yes thats true you're right there, there was also the steward that was briefly shown lying on the ground holding his head, unclear what happened to him but from what they said on the commentary, there were objects being thrown from the stands :eek:

I don't support what was done to the referee, but I really am getting tired of matches being ruined by poor decisions by referees, in this instance as well as football matches.

I don't know if replay is the answer to this - I think Louth should be declared the winners.

Being a louth man and having followed them all my life, i am devastated over what went on yesterday.
Absolutely gutted, cant say another word on it.

Louth should have seen the game out, instead JP Rooney started time wasting by kicking the ball away twice and when yous got a free in the 70th minute it was played back to the goalkeeper instead of being played upfield to clear the danger.

To me the above argument holds no sway over the injustice, louth missed chances during the game, so did meath , louth got some decisions during the game, so did meath.
But the bottom line is here leaving aside all that had gone on through the game, the defining factor of contention here is the goal should not have stood at the end.
Louth were cheated yesterday, simple as that.

I understand the steward was hit with a bottle - presumably thrown from the stand rather than "bopped" at close range.

Funny then that the names of the people I heard "attacked" the ref, weren't from Dundalk or Drogheda, nor were they soccer fans :rolleyes:

I hope Meath don't offer a replay as Louth won't be up for it. Considering how devastated the fans are, just imagine how the players feel, thinking back on their decisions that may have stopped them from making history. It would be too hard to ask them to go through it again and possibly lose what they rightfully won.

Looked like a 500ml plastic bottle. It would be remiss of me to say that if I were stewarding and felt any contact I would definitely make the most of it. Hopefully he's fine anyway.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read on these Boards!!:rolleyes:

And there's a lot of dumb feckers on these Boards!:D

No decision as yet on replay.

“The management committee no decision made on offering a replay – we want a bit of time in relation to other matters being discussed,” he
said.

“We received no email with a copy of the referees report (from Croke Park).”

There was a query to get a copy of the referees report by Pat O’Neill
from the St Colmcilles club, the club of Meath half-forward Graham
Reilly.

O’Neill added, “We can’t do anything if the referee doesn’t give us the report.”

It looks like there is going to be no decision tonight, the wisdom of the Meath county board was not to get a copy of the ref’s report.

So unless they get a copy in the next hour there will be no more discussion on the matter tonight.
