Kildare spies chased from Louth

[Dougal Maguire]

Bizarre situation during a minor challenge match between Armagh and Louth in Darver this afternoon. After 15 minutes the match was stopped when the Louth officials discovered that there were 2 Kildare selectors watching the match. Match was restarted after about 10 minutes after the 2 gentlemen had been shown the door.

Were they spies or scouts??

This is wrong on so many levels.

Kildare believing that sending scouts to a friendly match will give them an edge.

Kildare believing they need some sort of tactical edge to beat Louth.

Anyone at all believing there will be a seismic shift in Louth's tactics between league and championship, a change so big that it needs extensive matches to either play or understand.

Louth believing that creating a fuss about Kildare spies is more beneficial to their preparation, than keeping players focused during the friendly match.

Louth throwing fellow GAA members out of a GAA ground for the crime of watching a match.

I despair.

[DownFanatic]

The men who escorted the Kildare men out of the game need to take a look at themselves. Ridiculous.

[AFS]

How'd the game go?

[Jinxy]

Disgraceful stuff.
The authorities need to come down hard on the flourbags here.
A 3 month suspension from all intercounty football championships (especially senior) would be in order.

I think the key word here is minor. Y'know. Not senior.

[Ard-Rí]

On what grounds (that is to say, what pretext) were they removed?

[Ash Smoker]

If it was a minor match, perhaps they were removed because they were priests.

[Aaron Boone]

Were they escorted to the county boundary?

[armaghniac]

One good thing about Louth is that the county boundary isn't far away!

[panc56]

Knowing your opposition is just as important as knowing your own team. Completely OTT by Louth, adding pressure to their own team.

[Jinxy]

Wearing Meath jerseys as a disguise was a bad idea.

Ulster is a great place to see people looking at themselves before they catch themselves on.
