Battle of the Boyne - Meath Vs Louth - Leinster Final 11/7/2010

[Maguire01]

Did anyone else read Paddy Heaney's comments on the issue in today's Irish News? It's bizarre - he seems to be implying that Sludden shouldn't have awarded to goal as payback for 1996. 
"Wind the clock forward to last Sunday and Tyrone whistler Martin Sludden had a wonderful chance to exact some measure of revenge for the injustices to Peter Canavan, Brian Dooher and Ciaran McBride. Instead Sludden tried to make the right decision."

I think we all know at this stage what they are going to say. Its time to move on folks.

An interesting angle from Heaney. Defending the ref by trying to make himself look even more stupid.

I did think it was an odd statement alright, plus it was at the foot of his article today and more like an after thought to the whole affair. Strange boyo that Heaney.

Ach, Jaysus it was tongue-in-cheek.

That may well have been the intention, but it isn't obvious.

Statement from Coiste na Mi

Coiste na Mi has today received a copy of the referee's report on Sunday's Leinster Final, Lu v An Mhi. The referee has indicated in his report that he blew the whistle for a penalty but changed his mind and awarded the goal by Joe Sheridan when he saw that the ball had crossed the line.

Coiste na Mi has also been advised today by Coisde Ceannais na gComortaisi Laighean that, in accordance with Riail 6.41 T.O. and acting on the Referee's report of the above game...An Mhi are the winners.

Having considered all aspects of the game and subsequent suggestions, as well as the Referees report and the Comhairle Laighean communication, Coiste na Mi, wishes to confirm that, as far as it is concerned, this is the end of the matter.

Coiste na Mi wishes to express its disappointment at the manner in which we and the team have been placed in such an unenviable position over the past 2 days.
