Meath vs Antrim - Christy Ring Final

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Imagine what it would do for hurling in the county if Meath played again...and won.

I'd expect a decent crowd for replay

Let's just say it might be a very one sided game....

The Team are in a very unfortunate situation.
However, if the shoe was on the other foot, they would want a replay.
Neither team duid anything wrong. There should be a replay 100%. If the team don't play, their medals will always be tarnished.

2 things:

Under no circumstances should the game be played this week or next. Before an All Ireland Semi Final in August would be suitable.

The GAA, to allow this to go on until Tuesday at 2pm is an absolute disgrace. It wouldn't happen with the kilkenny's tipperary's etc.

Playing the match as a curtain raiser to the Leinster final is a non runner. The basis of Meath wringing this week is that players are travelling aboard and whatever. If the players cant stay around until Saturday they certainly would not like to be put out by another 2-3 weeks.
Cannot say that Meath deserved to win on Saturday last as they only "won" match on the basis of a referee's mistake.

The GAA must be lapping up all this fuss as it will mean a large crowd at the replay on Saturday.

Are you going to compensate them for staying around ? flight ..new job for the summer..deposit on a apartment and if your not in the apartment the day you said you lose the deposit and the apartment ..it takes time to set yourself up when going abroad.. hang around for week or two because you want it ?

good bit of sportsmanship showed by Antrim player on Saturday, he welcomed Meath sub on with a handshake, not the usual shoulder

No Murrax you're not missing anything - only that most Meath posters on here don't want a replay this Saturday, want to be still called the champions, want to keep the cup, don't want to be fair to BOTH teams, want to be the biggest victims of all in this, want to say they won even though they didn't and are quite happy to call a replay next year a preliminary round even though by any other name it's a replay :)

But you know it's all in the name of sport...ironic.

What I was saying that delaying the match for 3 weeks is a non runner. Antrim are also inconvenienced by this rematch. Both teams should just get on with it. Stop the moaning. It is doing no good to anyone.

The match will have to be replayed so the sooner the better. It will be difficult to find a date to suit everyone. It is the CCCC's job to schedule matches. If they consulted all teams when scheduling matches, you would never get a match played. The CCCC should not be consulting teams to see if the date suits. They have a responsibility so everyone should respect their decisions.

lol... yeah that what I was thinking, preliminary is just fancy word for replay... the smoke and mirrors approach...

Jack L I agree with the fact that the CCC schedule games and they should be adhered too, but as they have already signed off on a round of Club Championship games for Saturday, can you tell me how the players can be in two places at once.

I hope the county Board takes the correct decision and leave the cup back and let whoever wants it to take hold. The cup for 2016 is now tainted so I would Just get on with the club championship and let the guys going abroad enjoy themselves as they can have the last laugh. Calling a point a wide ball is just as incorrect as counting the score wrong so we should all move on. Why have haw eye and not use it, or is this why we are called amateurs?

The sooner the better for who...?
The GAA...? The players...? The supporters...?

Why replay the game? Meath won it and collected the cup. It happened a few years ago for our Limerick minors v Galway when Hawkeye was used and we didnt get any decision from the GAA HQ at the time on an appeal of the result. The GAA ruled one way for this and another way during the week for Meath? Shambolic - stick to yere guns and hold on to that Christy Ring Cup!

Maybe the GAA should make it a triple header with the Limerick Minors v Galway Minors, and the replay of the Louth v Meath 2010 Leinster final?
Come to think of it we were robbed in a club game at under 11 about thirty years ago, that should be replayed as well.
I fear the GAA are setting a very dangerous precedent with this one, before long we'll be having the outcome of games decided in the High Court.

Also the All-Ireland final of 1895 needs to be replayed, Tipperary beat Meath by a point but the referee subsequently admitted that he shouldn't have awarded 1 of Tipperary's point's. So the game actually ended in a draw and I want my bloody replay!!!
