Meath Fans Behaviour

[The Real Laoislad]

I don't think it was sc**bag behaviour.Dangerous though as he would have had a serious drop to the ground if he fell
I think you would have defended them Gnevin.Yourself Tankie and that other fool INDIANA were the only posters not too think that the actions of the Dublin players as regards goading etc wasn't wrong or potentally dangerous as it could have caused a row in the stands

Climbing up a poll and destoring a flag is not scum bag behaviour, catch a grip!
We weren't the only ones many others here  and in the media who said it was blow out of all proportion, I also said it was wrong but no worse than the veribal heard up and down the country  .You and LL are the one's who seem to think that you can say anything you want but never point which is total crap or maybe the Dublin players should of punched the Laois players ........... cue 20 thread

Maybe they should have it might have fired up the Laois players a bit,because we certainly needed something we were so bad in that second half
I was gonna say maybe they should of and we could have won if ye had a few players sent off for hitting a Laois player but we all know a Dublin player won't be sent off in Croke Park anytime soon

Saw two Dublin flags been taken down in the post match celebrations. I'm not one to condone oafish behaviour but it was just a spur of the moment thing amid all the excitement. Even the Tyrone fans saw the funny side and had a laugh about it. In fairness, I think one was mounted on a road traffic sign so no harm done. If it was in someones garden, their personal property well then it would be a different story altogether.

[we are blue... etc]

Call me alarmist but to me it's a sign of the way GAA is going. Used to be that you went to a game to support your own team, cheered your own points and had a chat with the fella from the other side who was sitting beside you. Now you also have to jeer/boo the opposing team, cheer their wides, and jump up and down in the face of the fella beside you. Which all counties are guilty of nowadays I should add.

You're alarmist

[his holiness nb]

Talking of alarmist, I dont think they should have taken the flag down, but these threads of Meath Fans V Dubs fans V other counties fans are looking more and more like shamrock rovers fans v bohs fans threads.
If you are looking for a sign of how the GAA is going you only need to read a lot of the stuff on this site, very dissappoining.

[Pull Hard Hes No Relation]

I'm certainly no fan of the Dubs fans or more correctly a section of them but IMO what these Meath "so called" fans did was dangerous and was the actions of scumbags. Nothing funny about it, to disrespect another counties flag in their own home town is inulting to the people of that county and is provocative. If they had caused a row who would have got the blame and more importantly what would that have said about the state of the GAA and the direction a section of our support is going. Media would have had a fiedl day and all because of a few gurriers.
The booing at matches is getting out of hand has now started to creep into hurling as well and some of the comments made by Cork and Waterford fans on Sunday were a disgrace, usually hurling fans can appreciate the skill of other players but that appears to be fast disappearing in that code as well - if people don't face up to reality about the "thuggish" element now attaching itself to all county teams then the days of segregated seating in Croker isn't far away.Thankfully it is still a minority but the minority seems to be growing.
Reality is that the guys that pulled down the Dublin flags and their "ike" are simply at the game for a day out on the beer and whether their county wins or not is almost incidental - sad state of affairs.

Well said . I agree 100% that if this had of turned the soccer media would get miles out of the story

[Tankie]

I think the thing people are missing is that it wasnt too serious an issue and i would not be getting upset about it at all, but the surprising thing is that people seem to think that this is ok behavior. A one off incident like thi is grand but this type of stuff can then lead to flags been taken from peoples gardens and then onto peoples proporty is being damaged.

Pardon my French, f**k him if he did, if he was big enough to get up there to do that, then he was big enough to take the consequences, no?

I'm sure he would have tried to sue somebody as they did not stop him from getting up there!
