What's that they say about Meath?

Oh yeah, the Royals are never beaten.

Another fantastic comeback by the boys in green.

It's been a while since Croke Park was Kepaked in September.

They got more than their fair share of luck today Loyal, that was never a penalty!!! What is it with Tyrone refs and Meath?????

Same as Tyrone players Bocerty - they're intimadated by the Royals.

Is it Kerry and Dublin in the other Semi Final? Didn't Dublin hammer Meath in the Leinster Final? Good fight back from Meath and they owned the second half for long periods.

This was a desperately poor minor match between 2 bad sides.

Meath, to their credit, kept battling and were rewarded for their efforts. While there is little doubt that the shocking decisions of referee Cathal O'Hagan decided the outcome, Mayo can't feel too aggreived, as they went 28 minutes in the 2nd half without scoring (they barely entered Meath territory for long periods).

Well done to the Royals. Just like against Tyrone, they hung around long enough to deliver the killer blow, but it really was poor stuff.

The penalty decision was a shocking one - granted he did block the ball with his foot but he was 3 yards away from the player who kicked the ball. A bad day at the office for Cathal and one he will hope to forget very quickly.

Goes to show all the training done for the guts of 10 months can all count for feck all when a ref is in that kind of humour!!!!
