Laois v Armagh

[johnneycool]

Very surprised they didn't take the easy option and fine Laois.

They should have fined the officials for that f*** up over the Kernan substitution.

Odd scenario this. Very odd.

Why oh why is there an option?
Are the rules that bad that they can't just say contravene this law and X happens rather than X, Y or Z depending on who is involved?

Is it time the rules were written for the times?

And while they're at it, ban feckin hurlers from balancing the ball on the hurl when taking frees!

Replay is fixed for Kilkenny, tomorrow night at 8.

[T Fearon]

Ffs nobody can count to 8 down there.😂

[The Boy Wonder]

Let the CCCC make a decision and not be fudging the issue by "recommending" a replay.
Was there not a similar situation in 2012 AI Semi-Final when Mayo beat Dublin and Mayo supposedly used too many subs ?

[rrhf]

Don't forget Armagh won a very dodgy Ulster final in 2005 and then pushed on and were within 1 kick of a ball of the eventual champions. This could be the final chapter in the book.

[Itchy]

Well done Armagh, what a come back. McGeeney is such a genius he can catch up 3points after the final whistle.

[Wildweasel74]

G i wouldn't play it, getting beat by Laois 2 week on the hop, do McGeeney already under pressure management no good at all

[south Laois]

Saturday week it is so in Portlaoise at 3 o clock with the Laois hurlers playing in Ennis at 7 o clock.!!!!!

[armaghniac]

Will there be extra time this time?

[T Fearon]

So Laois punishment for a clear breach of the rules is to be awarded a replay at home? Ridiculous decision.Should have been played in Navan

[Farrandeelin]

Do these controversies exist in any other organisation?

[Wildweasel74]

replay of the same game if the first is null and void would be at the original venue

[T Fearon]

Only in Irish sport.The IFA soccer season has dragged on for another two months,after Warrenpoint who were relegated claimed (correctly) that Carrick Rangers manager served a suspension during the wrong games.Their appeal was rejected but they took it to Sports Arbitration and decision was only announced yesterday.

I for one will not be returning to Portlaoise.If a rule has been breached then the offending party should be expelled from the competition.

[Rossfan]

If a ref misses a pick off the ground by a forward who scores the winning goal......
Clear breach of the rules missed by the official.

[T Fearon]

No,the referee judged the goal to be legitimate and is the ultimate arbiter.But over using substitutes is a clear breach of the rules.
