Replying To Proudroyal:  "Never mind about flares been a criminal offence.Have you seen the footage of 2 Louth men in their late 40s hitting a Meath woman on the Cusack stand and kids in the middle of it bawling and nothing been said about that.Disgusting behaviour.They should be locked up and banned for life."
THAT an alleged assault is not on and should be dealt with, as for the flares come on lads its the least of the bad things and it makes any sporting occasion what it is, ease that overzealous thinking of yours as I see sour grapes here.

Replying To tirawleybaron:  "A close game under the old rules was generally 1-11 to 0-15 type of thing, with 10 minutes of messing at the end as one team tried to slow the others come back.
Have you not noticed that all that messing is gone from the games now? Hence the excitement right up to the end."
Was plenty of higher scoring close games also under the old rules. On Sunday in Croke Park. Louth restricted Meath to one score in the final 23 minutes. Meath barely got their hands on the ball in the final five mins of action as Louth kept possession until the hooter sounded.

Replying To DundalkGael:  "I have seen the row on Hill 16, which was bad but was just young ones drunk and or out of their head on cocaine
I havnt seen anything about a row in Cusak Stand, in sure you can point us in a direction where we can view this video as if true I'm sure most people can identify the 2 men, Louths not a big place"
It was sent to me by video message but I'm sure it's on WhatsApp or Facebook.Its right near the end of the match literally 30 /40 seconds to go as you can hear the hooter go off just after they stop fighting.Ive heard they got one of them so hopefully they will be dealt with.Ive seen the one on the Hill alright (no need for that either)but this one has kids and women in it shocking stuff.

Oh it happened Francie,nothing alleged about it and fair play you're right it should and hopefully will be dealt with.On the flares I think they do add atmosphere and if just held there don't see the harm (as long as you dont mind smoke in your eyes and far enough away from sparks)but was on the hill and both sets of fans were thrown them which is dangerous and not on.Most of them were smoke bombs but thankfully I was away from all that.Also well done on your win and enjoy.

That really should be followed up and kids seeing this such shameless carry on and the culprits involved probably blow in's, the GAA need to have zero tolerance in this day and age because hooliganism has never being part of our game. Yeah I just think the flares are a great job that's just me probably because I have that ultra mindset about me but of course it's not without it's dangers falling into the wrong hands. As I was making my way to the match with my boys I bumped into a vocal group of Meath boys with a banner of that dramatic moment from 2010, I had to explain to my boys what it was all about, it really just added to the excitement because they didn't appear to be trouble makers despite other opinions of them on the Hill, the day as a whole is what makes the GAA for what it is being the best game in the world. Thank you Royal, am just coming around now having being in the thick of the party even though I don't drink it really was the stuff of dreams for us. Best wishes to yourselves in the All-Ireland series no easy games here on in.
