This whole thing has been & is a mess. Not only are the county teams (MH & ATM) messed with, but the club teams in MH are seriously messed around with. Like im sure a lot of young lads working in pubs/shops etc had already arranged time off work for the time & day of the c/ship games & now that is all changed around. jigsaw (Meath) - Posts: 29 - 09/06/2016 10:54:41 1864068 Link 0 |
Meath supporters already know they're "not the only victims" in all this at the moment, but they're about to be.....

hilloftara, had Toher gone for accuracy rather than power, it could have very easily dropped short, Antrim gone up the other end and gotten the equaliser/winner. Then people would be screaming that Toher should have killed it rather than risk a quick break. It's simple game management and going by the score at the time (confirmed by the referee) they carried it out excellently.

Does the Antrim team actually need to turn up on Saturday to fulfill this fixture to the GAA's satisfaction or can they just send someone from the county board down to collect the cup for them...? Wedgie (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 09/06/2016 11:27:17 1864099 Link 0 |
But we would be left with the same situation.Antrim would not actually win the game..

Antrim won't have won this game either, they'll have had the title handed to them by Croke Park...

Ziggy would they not win by default? all ref has to do is throw in and antrim score a point?

So it's set for the 25th.. There can be no complaints from either side now.. Hopefully Hawkeye will be working and someone get a ref who can count. Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 630 - 09/06/2016 12:33:21 1864170 Link 0 |
The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) of the GAA have confirmed that the replay of the Christy Ring Cup final will take place in Croke Park on Saturday 25th June at 5pm seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2144 - 09/06/2016 12:53:43 1864199 Link 1 |
I would not put all the blame on a ref as he is supposed to have 6 other officials helping him- some officials are quite good at helping players get black cards but maybe they may not be very good at counting. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 09/06/2016 13:39:10 1864228 Link 1 |
The kids should be finished the Junior Cert by then, maybe one of them would be available to come in and show the GAA how to do some basic adding and subtracting...? Bet you the GAA official don't make the same careless arithmetic blunders when they're submitting their expenses claims. Wedgie (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 09/06/2016 14:00:17 1864237 Link 0 |
Hopefully the whole of the county can come out on June 25th to support the lads win the Christy Ring cup for the 2nd time in their history. RedMeath12 (Meath) - Posts: 117 - 09/06/2016 14:00:39 1864239 Link 1 |
I think club championship should still go ahead this weekend. Would give the players a good blow-out, clear their heads of this whole mess. begining (UK) - Posts: 300 - 09/06/2016 14:41:18 1864276 Link 0 |

Championship should go ahead it would be good for all and you could get injured at training the same as playing for THE CLUB. It is a disgrace the respect to the club in all of this. The commitment club players are giving is huge and it hard enough to balance life and sport and now lads have to hold up for another 2 weeks at least. Croke Park and all the officials in Croke Park last week should be ashamed of themselves. Some referees ask one of there umpires or lines men to keep the score also. The pen and paper the only man. How did the PRO's or Secretaries of both Counties not notice the error also - they should have been keeping the scores. Sportfan (Meath) - Posts: 133 - 09/06/2016 16:05:34 1864332 Link 0 |
Club games should still go ahead, get players to focus on something else seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2144 - 09/06/2016 16:33:02 1864344 Link 1 |
Club games should go ahead, we're creating monsters all the time worrying this might happen and that might happen. It goes ahead in kilkenny and we should be no different in BOTH codes. I agree that it would be a welcome distraction from the circus that's gone on since saturday night, through no fault of the teams.The lads set the standard for themselves in the second half they know what's required now, Two weeks is more than enough time to prepare for games in the summer especially. I hope we finish the job!! leftnright (Meath) - Posts: 30 - 09/06/2016 17:04:52 1864363 Link 0 |
Club championship games should go ahead as planned to let the players hurl and sharpen up.. 91m (Meath) - Posts: 6 - 09/06/2016 17:26:28 1864375 Link 0 |
