Guys the GAA have made a massive blunder again and Meath will suffer ahain. I was at Laois game Saturday and knew at the time we had used too many subs. Yet a whole organisation did not know until 48 hours later and during that time they had included laois in qualifier draw. Crazy. As far as im concerned the draw is null and void as the draw had certain restrictions and you cant just pretend armagh werent there. Draw should be re done. And now meath face a six day turnaround based on a shambles of a draw Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 766 - 21/06/2016 15:26:53 1870287 Link

I agree with everything you say...but in many ways i think this 6 day turn around is more to do with sky wanting to show some kinda gaa match on TV every week..they have a pick between the hurling and football qualifiers,so they will probably go for the Dublin and cork hurling match or Derry or Dublin/meath and i say all that without my tin foil hat !

I thought there were no restrictions in place for the second round draw, so if the game is replayed and if Armagh won then we just have to pretend that Laois was actually Armagh in the draw. It's silly......but it's Gaa. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 21/06/2016 16:03:09 1870322 Link
There were small restrictions eg laois v cavan would be home advantage laois. But armagh v cavan would be home advantage cavan cause cavan beat them . It might seem a small technicality but no smaller than laois playing a sub for half a minute who doesnt touch ball Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 766 - 21/06/2016 16:32:08 1870343 Link

I see the losers of Meath/Dublin will now have an extra week before playing Derry, that game to be played on either the 9th or 10th of July Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 21/06/2016 22:01:40 1870506 Link
