Replying To Gleebo: "In fairness, if it wasn't for TG4 there would be a lot less gaelic games at all levels on television, there's always going to be an element of quid pro quo involved when the media covers your games. Personally, I'd cut them a bit more slack in this sense than the likes of Sky." I'm a massive fan of TG4 and don't consider them being the reason why the game is fixed for Portlaoise. I wonder if Dublin and Meath reached the final would it still be in Portlaoise? Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 16/01/2018 14:26:21 2068703 Link

Time wise there is not a whole lot of difference between Portlaoise and Navan to travel to from Athlone. Motorway to Kinnegad which is half an hour then around the same onto Navan. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2782 - 16/01/2018 16:00:11 2068718 Link
Ridiculous having this game in O'Moore Park, hopefully Meath and Westmeath fans will vote with their feet and stay away. This really only is the Mickey Mouse cup and surely the best way to get a crowd is toss between the 2 teams for home advantage, suppose common sense was too much to ask though.

Seems like both county boards agree with you as they have asked Leinster to change. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1459 - 16/01/2018 17:29:10 2068741 Link

Replying To jobber: "Seems like both county boards agree with you as they have asked Leinster to change." If TG4 broadcast it then u can see why it would be in Portlaoise but if like some are saying they are not showing then ridiculous to have in Portlaoise when both sides would prefer Mullingar. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2782 - 16/01/2018 18:31:12 2068750 Link
Replying To panamasam: "If TG4 broadcast it then u can see why it would be in Portlaoise but if like some are saying they are not showing then ridiculous to have in Portlaoise when both sides would prefer Mullingar." Both managers and county officials want mullingar. I see it as a good alternative, I will go no matter where it is been played. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 16/01/2018 19:41:37 2068763 Link

A ref has been appointed to this game who is very fond of his whistle... I expect a very stop start game with plenty of yellow cards & at least one red card!! Matthew (None) - Posts: 1007 - 16/01/2018 23:03:15 2068780 Link
Don't expect a free flowing game on Sunday. The referee who has been appointed doesn't like letting a game flow and for any little thing players will be booked so expect a lot of yellow cards!! Matthew (None) - Posts: 1007 - 17/01/2018 09:08:14 2068791 Link

It looks like the GAA want to give TG4 the option to televise the match by hosting it in Portlaoise. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 17/01/2018 12:01:06 2068835 Link
Replying To Ban: "It looks like the GAA want to give TG4 the option to televise the match by hosting it in Portlaoise." Got a quick look at tg4 listing, it's no scheduled. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/01/2018 13:11:25 2068861 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Got a quick look at tg4 listing, it's no scheduled." Sorry that should read. "Now scheduled " So it's decided. Better to just get on with it, give young mckeever some much needed game time prior to league. We win great, we don't? I'll keep my head down for week :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/01/2018 13:55:47 2068874 Link
Cursed the hogan stand calls the Ó Byrne cup final but maybe the powers that be should realise a competition started four days after Christmas day deserves to be "cursed" jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1459 - 02/03/2018 23:59:40 2081654 Link
Replying To Ban: "It looks like the GAA want to give TG4 the option to televise the match by hosting it in Portlaoise." Doubtful tg4 will take them up on it... Sure play it in Enfield. Handy for everyone. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 03/03/2018 08:56:25 2081659 Link
Look it, one big welly throw each, furthest throw wins, quick and simple solution. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 03/03/2018 09:22:43 2081664 Link
