Never saw so much crying going on from the Royals, Galway should just give them the points. The 2 Meaths, East and West should be allowed to merge and they should have their own team ref. Problem solved.

Andy Mac expressing his frustration about the ref ignoring cynical Galway fouls. And people say Tyrone are cynical!!
Don't get me wrong, I always liked Galway football and hurling - just a bit surprised yesterday.
I really hope we get them later in the year as I think that, with a proper ref that would protect the players, we can take them." Instead of revenge against Galway concentrate on the Leinster Championship, just think of all the refs you have to badmouth all Summer long. Now, most refs come from Meath I believe?

Replying To royaldunne: "So true :).
Got to say championship is hell of lot more important than league. So the obvious solution is to declare league null and void for 2020. And start from fresh next year. No one wins and above all no one gets relegated or promoted. That's my unbiased opinion :)." Meath were already relegated as far as I remember so off to div.2 with ya

The better team LOST today and you can thank the ref for that." Meath making a sour exit, very unbecoming, sad to see but concentrate on Leinster

Replying To reithi: "Awful conditions pitch was not fit for a game. Well done tyrone got the job done but Clifford sending off was a joke ref was busy with black cards but it was right in front of umpires., he was putting his hands out to show he was doing nothing. Why would he when he had a free which I presume was overturned too. Makes a mockery of game" what goes around comes around

Andy Mcentee And The Referee - 7 Like(s)
Replying To David: "No definietly not.
V Tyrone... Meath squandered too many opportunities in front of goal & beaten by a better team on the day albeit not by much... only 5 points. No major complaints about referee. Usual questionable decisons that happen at most matches.
V Donegal... simply poor and outclassed by Donegal, who punished ever mistake Meath made defensively, all while playing within themselves. I'd have no quibble with officiating bar one or two incidents where Michael Murphy got away with no punishment. Top players knowing the flexibility of the rules!
V Mayo... Meath lost that match by a nieve mistake near the end, allowing Mayo their opportunity. Which at this level you are punished. The referee, however, was poor in his time keeping as has been highlighted before. But IMO it should swing back in our favour at some stage. Mayo also got alot of the big 50/50 calls. Again top teams favoured by knowing how to stretch the rulebook.
V Kerry... the referee black carded Cillian O'Sullivan after 4 minutes for a shoulder to shoulder tackle, perhaps slightly late, but never a black. The Donal Keoghan incident, was a black card all day long. No issue. However, there were very questionable decisions in favour of the home side, which Kerry supporters around me even questioned.
V Galway... the 8 minutes or so coming to half time cost Meath the possible victory. The Galway players pulled and dragged Meath players to the ground, which then saw Meath players lose focus, through frustration with the refereeing, and then commit silly fouls, allowing Shane Walsh to convert easy frees. The officiating in general for that period was a joke. How Galway got away with it (& fair play to them for doing so) but please?
Overall, IMO the refereeing is okay, not great but the luck doesn't seem to fall Meath's way. Should Andy be complaining? Maybe not, but if anyone wants to listen back to LMFM Sports podcast you will note that Andy has approached Croke Park and sought advise on rules, officiating, what's acceptable and not, but not been given adequate answers.
Is Andy complaining after every match? I don't think but people's opinion may differ. It's probably hard when your constantly asked about the referee! Maybe, there is something in that; that he is asked about the officiating. Maybe the journalist realise Meath didn't get any decision nor 'the rub of the green'. Maybe, Meath should try to do as the top teams do and bemd the rules, I don't know.
You make your own mind up!" omg, are you saying, "the Meath players caused silly fouls and were frustrated with the ref and Galway were to blame"?? I would give you a D for that essay. next essay please, lol

David Gough To Referee The Final - 5 Like(s)
The ref problem/issue has nothing to do with David Gough. It is the GAA that are wrong. Too many refs who have strong connections with a county will give them the 50/50 call, its only natural, we all would. The GAA have now made the final about a ref. If Galway were in a hurling final would the GAA give the whistle to a person from north Clare who works/socialises in Galway City?

Dublin refusing to do one-on-one broadcast interviews - 5 Like(s)
Replying To yew_tree: "Joe Brolly had a meltdown on live TV a few years ago when Sean Cavanagh dived against Monaghan. It was far worse than anything that was said about Connolly on TV.
Am I right in thinking pundits should not make a comment on any incident until after the referee's report? Is that what people want? In that case the Sunday game will have to be moved to a Monday or Tuesday night.
I think everyone needs to take a step back as this whole incident has been overblown and done to death." yes your right," The Sunday Brawl" could be aired midweek. I think analysts should comment on everything because refs will miss stuff. Brolly/Dolan were unbelievable the other night though. They offered no punishment for Connolly for pushing official and blamed poor Pat.

The ref would have added another minute if the Dubs needed it, funny how some counties never get a blast of extra time to score.

Wex needed 3 favours from ref.
1. Give a free against Mannion for time (why was it not a throw-in?)
2. Give Lee Chin as much time as he needed to convert.
3. Give Wexford and extra minute for equalizer.
Galway did blow it in all fairness.

GAA are right about this. Safety issue. Croke Park does not belong to Dublin, this is not a soccer stadium in UK. Do the patrons under the giant flag even see the field?
