Even we were getting phone calls in the museum to see what was going to happen! It looks like it'll come down to the Meath County Board and there emergency meeting tonight. They should offer the replay imo. I know there is an arguement that any disputed incedent in a match could lead to requests for a replay however, in the vast majority of cases, teams would have time to rectify the situation through goal and point scoring opportunities during the match. This was the last play of the game. Louth were directly robbed of a win that would have without doubt been their's but for an amazing error from the referee. It was an extraordinary incident that directly affected the outcome of the game and this should be treated as an extraordinary case.
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.
