Replying To blueman1903: "Well god help you, people have houses flooded and farm yards and your livid!!yes Cavan should be able to organize the weather." The game wasn't due to be played in someone's house or in a farmyard, so using someone else's misfortune to respond to a valid critique of your county pitch is quite distasteful.

It's a game of football that was called off , not the end of the world if you are still livid about that maybe you need help,.a football match isn't that important in the grand scale of things. blueman1903 (Cavan) - Posts: 743 - 11/02/2018 07:27:54 2075624 Link

Right there's no way that sponge will have dried up during a night of rain and snow, so what's the story on a decision being made, or will it be dragged out all over the morning then they say it's too late to move it Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6158 - 11/02/2018 07:53:35 2075626 Link

Ye are right, proper drainage should be put in, neighbouring counties so not so far for most of ye but from Ashbourne it's a long journey for nothing I even see one guy drove from Donegal, people have a right to be annoyed when a game is called off last min while they onrute, gaa have made a virtue of leaving April free for clubs, but they didn't bother to ensure all grounds would be able to hold games regardless of adverse weather joeblogs10 (Dublin) - Posts: 104 - 11/02/2018 08:10:43 2075627 Link

I was one of the misfortuned and for you to say can cavan not organize anything, I didn't know that level of rain was coming and couldn't control it, breffni Park didn't know or couldn't control it, so you being livid is quite distasteful. blueman1903 (Cavan) - Posts: 743 - 11/02/2018 08:33:50 2075632 Link

Please show me a post where I mentioned anything about Cavan organising anything? I think you need to go back and start at the beginning again sir Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6158 - 11/02/2018 09:06:51 2075637 Link

If ye travel a good distance probably with pre bought tickets, maybe get a babysitter in, and to arrive and no match on it is a big deal to have to turn around and go home lot of expenses for nothing, I thought been a cavan man ye above anyone wouldn't like wasting money for nothing joeblogs10 (Dublin) - Posts: 104 - 11/02/2018 09:13:50 2075640 Link
I see paddy o rourke has been taking to twitter again "In my un-educated opinion the #Gaa chiefs should have grown a set and moved the @CavanCoBoardGaa V @MeathGAA game to Navan 2moro. If a pitch is unplayable at 7pm it wont be playable 19hours later with zero drying. Both teams deserve decent pitch conditions." There is no precedent and no justification under any gaa rules for moving the game out of Cavan. You can moan and whinge all you like about the late postponement of the match, and you would have some justification. But the Cavan county board didn't cause the weather conditions yesterday, and the cavan team can hardly be punished for it by having a home game changed to an away game. We live in Ireland - these things happen from time to time ffs. Just switch the game to next weekend and move on. anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 11/02/2018 09:17:31 2075641 Link

It will have to be next weekend or between rounds 5 & 6 as it wont be left until after league. All final round matches need to be played simultaneously as too much will be at stake in such a tight division. David (Meath) - Posts: 566 - 11/02/2018 09:26:22 2075643 Link

Most counties with have an alternative pitch put forward, like roscommon used kiltoom, Jonathan use iniskeen and so on. And in the past games have been moved outside the county, like roscommon moving their home game to longford. This is no b league football where we shove it in midweek when championship is over, a bit of proper planning is all that's being asked for. That pitch has been frozen all week, yet nothing is done until 90 mins before throw in. Total amatuerism at it's best . Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6158 - 11/02/2018 09:32:02 2075646 Link

Of course the weather isnt the referees or Cavans fault but the ridiculously late postponement and the lack of a viable alternative planned is.....as said before this isn't a b league match....if ya have to move to a neutral venue so be it and if a call was made when it should have been yesyerday afternoon there would have been loads of time to organise southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 709 - 11/02/2018 09:46:22 2075651 Link
