Replying To Tinchy1: "Is there when Blackhall played a player who was suspended?" Anthony Moyles was suspended but blackhall appealed and were told the appeal was successful, turned out it wasn't, can't remember exactly who told blackhall he was clear to play but I think he played the replay which dunshaughlin won.

Replying To kingofclubs: " Replying To Ratoath Royal: "Here's what I can find from both the GAA's official guide and from the Meath County Board's regulations:
GAA Official Guide
Except where provided for otherwise in these Rules, in County Bye-Law or in Competition Regulation, when Teams finish with equal points for Qualification for the Concluding Stages, or for Promotion or Relegation, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified:
(i) The higher number of League Points obtained in the 'Head-to-Head' games defined as the games in which the teams involved in the tie have played each other.
(ii) The higher Scoring Difference (subtracting the total Scores Against from total Scores For) in the 'Head-to-Head' games.
(iii) The higher Scores For in the 'Head-to-Head' games.
(iv) If the application of criteria (i) to (iii) results in a team(s) being successful or eliminated but there is still a relevant tie to be decided, criteria (i) to (iii) are to be repeated for the 'Head-to-Head' games only of the still tied teams.
(v) The higher Scoring Difference in all games in the League Group.
(vi) The higher Scores For in all games in the League Group.
(vii) A Play-Off.
Meath County Board Regulations
When teams finish with equal points for qualification for the concluding stages, or promotion or relegation, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified:
i. Least number of games forfeited
ii. Points awarded from the games in which only the teams involved, (teams tied on points), have played each other
iii. Scoring Difference (subtracting the total Scores Against from total Scores For)
iv. Highest Total Score For
v. The highest number of Goals For
vi. The lowest number of goals Conceded
vii. Play - Off
So while the GAA's official guide does say that score difference in the H2H games takes precedence, it also appears to defer to the county's competition regulations. Meath's regulations clearly state that total score difference be taken into account. As far as I know, this has been the case for years so Na Fianna, in my view, shouldn't have a leg to stand on. Also leaves them looking rather bitter. They were semi finalists last year and got drawn in a group with two relegation playoff teams from last year and last year's IFC champions. On paper, that was a dream group yet they could only manage one win in three games." Ratoath royal, you have explained the situation very accurately in your post. The important thing here is the statement "Except where provided for otherwise in these Rules, in County Bye-Law or in Competition Regulations" In the case of Meath GAA, their competition regulations are clearly set out as per your post, so there is no default to the new GAA regulations. Therefore Don/Ash go through on the basis of Meath Competition regulations and Na Fianna do not have any case."

Replying To summerhillof69: "Looks like Sour grapes to me , be different if they had won the head to head
No one wants to win anything through the boardroom - have some pride and drop the appeal
Id be embarrassed if it was my club pulling a stunt like this" I'm neutral here but I'm sure if summerhill got fired out of the championship due to wrong ruling it would be appealed .

An appeal that will have a result on Thursday evening when the game is set for Friday evening.
What an absolute mess. Na Fianna agreed to the rules back in February. Poor form to not agree to them because it hasn't gone their way.

Replying To Pead0bum84: "na fiannas right to look for a rule that exists to be used should not be mistaken for your own stupidity and arrogance . You are trying to make it out that the club looking for a loop hole the rules of the gaa state they go through . There was no objection to losing 2 games . Na fianna Ashbourne and curraha all lost 2 games . Look into these things before you comment . The point isn't about being good enough to still be in the keegan or not it's about applying a rule . Also it's a massive advantage just to not have to play a relegation game ." People in agreement with na Fianna have 12, 15 and 54 post each, tells you all you need to know of where they are from.
We clearly follow the Meath GAA competition rules when competing in Meath and it clearly states Ashbourne go through.
If they had such an issue with the rules should they not have brought it up before this?
It is just a desperate act and I hope Meath GAA get their way on this.

I also have no affiliation to NF or Ashbourne but for people to lump them in with dunboyne rathkenny or any other team who appealed on technicality or loop hole like too many subs used or too many players on the pitch etc is harsh.
They genuinely believe the rule is with them so of course they are going to appeal . As obviously Ashbourne do too and to be honest at this stage after nearly a week of this I have no idea anymore who i believe the rule sides with. The more i read the rules and regulations the less clear I am on who is right here.
Who ever is right and whatever comes out of it over the next few days it has been an absolute mess for the CBs and for the Leinster Council and Croke Park.

Bit messy to say the least. Who's right who's wrong ? I'm not getting into that. Also cilles waiting to see if they have a game , who will it be , and when will it be played. Madness all around. And again I'm not saying who is right or wrong in this situation
