Disgraceful decision by the men at Ard Oifig to change the location of saturday's clash. Any thoughts?

Hearing it was changed because of a problem with the floodlights? Should the blame lie at the feet of the Meath county board? Shambolic scenes, would have been great for Navan to get such a fixture.

Must have the same electrician as Bray Wanderers.

I don't get what's disgraceful about the switch?

Navan couldn't host it due to the floodlights. Parnell seems a decent alternative.

Maybe the Meath Chairman should have got a bit of maintanence done on the lights in Páirc Tailteann like the DCB got done in Parnell?

Best of luck to both teams today, obviously moreso my beloved Red Hands, weather permitting we could be in for a great game.

A complete disgrace.The ref should have thrown the ball in for the second half and started the clock whether Tyrone were on the field or not.

What are Tyrone playing at now this is like when they put the lights off in the Monaghan game.

Unfortunately due to TG4's stubbornness most people didn't know what was going on as they can't speak Irish.

Surely they could have used a bit of common sense and made an announcement in English to the viewers who must have been wondering what the delay was for.

Jaysus calm yourselves lads, this sounds pretty serious.
