Replying To otherlad:  "Well hopefully the ref awards a penalty this time so ye have nothing to windge about"

Replying To WanPintWin:  "It was never a penalty either. Colm O'Rourke said the same on the Sunday Game that evening.
Sheridan threw himself forward to get the fumbled ball and fell into the goalmouth. There was no foul at all from Louth.
It's very easy to see from any replay."

Awful Meath jerseys too."

Replying To Pikeman96:  "Because if the ball goes out for a 45 after the hooter has sounded, you're allowed to take a 45. It doesn't matter if there's been one or two or even twenty 45s already taken after the hooter.

Similar with a free. Let's say Kildare had only been a point down and were awarded a free-in from 60 metres after the hooter sounded. They'd be allowed to take it.

Now let's say a Kildare man collects it 20 metres from goal, and he's immediately wrestled to the ground. That's the end of that passage of play. But it wouldn't be the end of the match, as they'd be allowed to take that free too, pop it over the bar, and send things to extra time. Otherwise the Louth player who committed the foul would be rewarded for fouling, and Kildare would be out of the championship in hugely unfair and controversial circumstances."

Replying To Sweetspot:  "I sincerely hope the Leinster council are taking notes on the difference playing semis outside of Croker does for fairness of competition, atmosphere, regional town economies and overall matchday experience. Long may they last. Well done to Louth and Meath although the idea of it not being Kildare dethroning the Dubs makes me physically sick."
