RD i always respect your opinion. And in this case of Biggy being the best player in the county, that is your opinion. I personally don't think he is, i think he hides when the chips are down, he did well for the first half v Dublin but what did he do in the second when the wave of attacks started, he went hiding. For me the best player in this county and has been for several years is Donal Keoghan. Thats my opinion. How often does Keogy get assigned the man marking job and shuts down the oppositions best player. Thats as important as being involved in 45% of the scores. Thats what he should be doing. He's a forward. I would expect no less. Last year Cillian O'Sullivan had a better year than him too. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 18/10/2016 16:11:56 1927315 Link
Replying To RedMeath12: "I agree that the treatment he received from the Dunderry player was over the top and he should have gotten some help or protection from the officials but the red card he got was completely right. There was no excuse, he caught him sweet on the chin with full intention with an elbow, lucky not to break the lads jaw. Red card was the correct decision and should not be over turned. I have sympathy for Biggy but at the same time I don't, moment of madness and I'm sure a massive regret of his. If only he rode it out for 10mins I'm sure the Dunderry chap would have been booked and quietend down." Really. He should absorb 10 Minutes of abuse awaiting officials to make a decision and the back should be allowed do what he wants without fear of retaliation. This is not about the player involved personally. There is no way that a player because he is a good footballer should be expected to stand without fighting back and absorb 10 minutes of abuse. While at the same time a marker should be allowed carry out abuse for 10 Minutes without censure. Come on. By any measure of fairness what happened was ludicrous and of course the red card should be rescinded Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 518 - 18/10/2016 16:44:06 1927334 Link

Regardless of what the dunderry lads did, he struck a player in the face. Lucky if its just a one game ban. Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 630 - 18/10/2016 17:20:22 1927348 Link

Brian no bother to you, look opinions are like farts they say, everyone else's stinks apart from your own. I have my opinion, be it wrong or right, same as yours. We wont fall out over it that's for sure. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 18/10/2016 20:55:07 1927399 Link
Replying To Royal_Gunner: "I fully expect Graham to be playing on Saturday for the replay." I 100% expect them to look for a hearing for Biggy, but he struck, so how on earth should or would he get off VernonSmith (Meath) - Posts: 112 - 19/10/2016 10:04:58 1927466 Link
Replying To VernonSmith: "I 100% expect them to look for a hearing for Biggy, but he struck, so how on earth should or would he get off" Well, as I said, I expect him to get off. I didn't say he should get off. I wasn't looking at the game when Biggy allegedly struck the Dunderry player Royal_Gunner (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 19/10/2016 10:25:38 1927475 Link
Replying To Royal_Gunner: "Well, as I said, I expect him to get off. I didn't say he should get off.

Could be an interesting appeal, I would imagine they'll pause the video at 30 secs to discuss the striking incident(s) leading up to the event before fast forwarding to the part where Reilly strikes out. Then once they authorities have decided on the outcome of the appeal they can then decide how to deal with the original incident. The only fair outcome would be if both players were banned from the reply or neither player were banned, anything else would be a travesty.

Replying To Kepak10: "Watch the video clip.....it's pretty conclusive" Going to try again to get past the heavy handed censorship, one line at a time... There's a far better quality video of the game doing the rounds. Wedgie (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 19/10/2016 20:13:24 1927701 Link

The Reilly sending off would never have happened if the incidents in the lead up to it were properly dealt with. Wedgie (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 19/10/2016 21:29:16 1927726 Link
