I am not sure how it benefits football inside the county by throwing young guys out of a competition. The incident appeared to have been started by non -players. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2189 - 20/11/2019 21:44:07 2250586 Link 10 |

Yeah really surprised 2 of them were threw out. Hopefully they can appeal it further. Any result of tonights game? Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 20/11/2019 22:02:13 2250588 Link 8 |

I wasn't at the game but I have spoken with people from both clubs - it was a mass brawl that apparently started because of dispute over a side line call - initially a mentor started it but players from both sides got involved It doesn't benefit the game by not penalising that kind of thing - the ref obviously felt it was a bad situation to have abandoned the game Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 284 - 20/11/2019 22:47:29 2250595 Link 1 |

Na fiNna were 5 points up early in second half - Ratoath made a couple of changes and were much better after that! They totally dominated the second half

Definetly don't agree with that. Na Fianna played with a big wind in the first half and didn't make the most of it. Ratoath were much quicker out of the blocks. Na Fianna then got on top with a goal. But I think they only had 1 point from play at half and they went in 3 up. Na Fianna played brilliantly into the wind. Held the ball for long periods, slowed the game down. They lead by 4 points with 5 mins left. Ratoath then blitzed them for 1-2 in the space of about 3 mins. And then Luke Kelly (who was brilliant all night), kicked a score with the last kick to level it. In extra time Ratoath bench made the difference. Leigh Sullivan got a goal and Na Fianna had no depth to call on. Ratoath completely dominated extra time. They won it 3-4 to 1-3. And Na Fianna's goal was a bad mistake by the keeper with a high ball. Ratoath Dunboyne should be a very good game. Was the final last year and both teams still have the vast majority of their players from last year. Dunboyne lost 5 starters and I think Ratoath only lost 1

Went to see this game and it was a very competitive game with Na Fianna trying very hard but Ratoath just have the numbers to call on when needed . Na Fianna have lost numerous players from their minor outfits and were depending on a couple of 17 years olds to play in a top Division semi final Na Fianna had a couple of top Individual players but Ratoath just a much more developed team and finished a lot stronger . Also went to see the Dunboyne/Mahonys game was just too easy against O mahonys with Dunboyne hitting a lot of wides also. I didn't think Mahonys would be this poor but Dunboyne will certainly put it up to Ratoath. Dunboyne should have the physicality to match Ratoath so the final could be good . But based on both games I can see Ratoath doing the business now . Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 328 - 21/11/2019 12:46:57 2250660 Link 0 |

Final fixed for Sunday already? Short turnaround! GenderNeutral (Meath) - Posts: 44 - 21/11/2019 13:09:40 2250668 Link 0 |

Yeah - good take on the game - I agree with you on Luke Kelly - he was very good. Leigh Sullivan didn't play for Ratoath last night. He has been injured and was on their bench but didn't come on. I think you mean Conor O'Sullivan. Some interesting performances - apart from Luke Kelly, Ethan Devine and Shane Walsh had good spells but certainly didn't dominate. Walsh scored mainly from frees. Daithi McGowan did well in the middle for Ratoath and Ben Wyer was good at the back! If he doesn't get into the Meath 20's I'll be surprised!

Sorry - what I meant was Ratoath dominated the extra time! How did you think Walshe and Devine played?

Ahh sorry, I heard the crowd say Sully and seen a fairly tanned lad and from a distance thought it was Leigh Sullivan. Conor made a big impact with his pace when he came on anyway

Walsh started inside but they were playing brutal ball in so he had to go out midfield. It wasn't his best performance but he still had a positive impact. He scored a few quality frees and a good score with his left foot from play. Ethan Devine wasn't great overall. Very poor first half I thought and the McGowans dominate the air vs McDonnell and Devine. He was good carrying the ball forward and did kick an excellent score after a great run. It's tough to criticise either too much though because Na Fianna were so reliant on both of them to hold the ball. I'd say their possession count was through the roof.

Apparently it is on this Sunday with the hurling final moving to another date. But I hear Skyrne have an appeal hearing tonight about being kicked out - God only knows what will happen if they are successful! They were scheduled to play O'Mahonys initially who probably would have preferred a game before playing Dunboyne!

Wasting their time with ccc, appeals don't be heard anymore, same happened my club earlier in the year over a result, we were ignored even though we received an apology after it was too late, ccc is a shambles in dunganny unless your appealing from certain clubs.

I think they are going to the Leinster Council - not sure if that makes any difference!

Maybe the CCC are just tired of seeing the same club(s) coming back at them regarding discipline issues on the field and on the sideline. Any club involved in a brawl at a GAA game shouldn't have a leg to stand on. Those clubs should get their own house in order before pointing the finger elsewhere. To many of the same clubs every year have issues with behaviour from mentors and players and never accept responsibility for their own often disgraceful behaviour, which if took place on the street would result in arrests, but when some clubs/people enter the gates of a GAA pitch they feel they have, and often do have, free reign to knock the heads of people and start all out brawls. One or two clubs in the county seem to revel in this sort of carry on and by the goings on of their players and mentors during matches they are just waiting for the first opportunity to start a riot!

Jesus Tell us how you really feel Final being fixed for Sunday is truly disgraceful The amount of games ratoath have played in last two weeks is crazy and asking them to play a major final with 3day recovery and dunboyne with double the amount of time is completely unfair But no doubt it will be bulled through and we will he told at the next county board meeting how great they are at running competitions quickly head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 447 - 21/11/2019 17:42:50 2250737 Link 1 |

It has made a difference. Final postponed. A farce for the county board
