Apparently it's a wind up, hardly surprising.

Would have been dynamite slagging material though

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 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.

What was the score on saturday night?

How would the Louth fans feel about a reply if one is offered?

Would it not be best to draw a line under this, admit the game was won by Meath by a terrible ref decision, in the knowledge that you should be Leinster Champions, and prepare for the qualifers?

[mindless actions of individuals who were not there representing our county!]

I hope the Louth co board have issued an unreserved apology to Sludden, and the GAA for those scenes and accept that there was absolutely no justification for those attempts at mindless thuggery.

I don't see how it is responsibility of the Louth County Board to apologies for the mindless actions of individuals who were not there representing our county! The county board should (and has) aided with the identifying of these individuals and bringing them to appropriate justice. As I posted earlier, an ex player was in contact with the man who struck Mark Ward to identitfy himself to the Gardai and he has done so.

Sludden should apologies to the Louth players and management who had this massive achievement stripped away from them due to his incompetence/arrogance/malevolence/panic. Nobody but he can answer why he did what he did!

Who exactly were they representing then? Meath?

Yes they were representing Meath 
They were neither, players, management or officials of the county of Louth. Nor were they representative of the majority of us who managed to keep our anger in check! Should we all be tainted because of the actions of a few? I have said it before and I'll say it again, every county has its lunatic fringe, ours got out on the pitch yesterday!

I disagree. The unfortunate thing about idiots like we seen yesterday is that it tarnishes the good name of the vast majority of Louth supporters in Croke Park. As you rightly allude to every county has their share of these muppets but whenever these people make the headlines for the wrong reasons it ultimately reflects back on the county they came to support.

Surely as Sheridan was sitting on his ass with his back to the ref, ball between his legs Sludden's view was blocked, so he depended on his umpires to make the call, which is why they are fecking there! No fan of Sluddens but the blame for this lies with the senile umpires.

Murray actually referred to himself as Irish twice and a Paddy once in that half hour show.

Not too many from round Dundonald would agree, fair play Colin.

First game of the Championship (on these shores anyway) and already Spillane is on his soapbox. It's gonna ge a long summer!

McDonnell; as the saying goes, form is temporary, class permanent. Poor enough game so far though.

I couldn't believe he missed it, given we were 2 down and hoping to snatch a draw

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down v Armagh Ulster Prelim @ the Marshes.

Would you not prefer to meet in the final? (Assuming Down can get past Cavan and Antrim)

I was playing Devil's Advocate given the comments on the other thread. I couldn't care if/when Armagh played Down.

Paddy Heaney; who backed Kerry 12 months ago, has gave the nod to Cork in this mornings Irish news. (Sort of)
He concludes, "We know Kerry have the potential. But it's Cork who have the form. For this particular contest, it's the form team which looks the most likely winners."
Nothing like sitting on the fence Paddy, Kerry it is then.
