You might not be in the know on this one but the ref messed up his dates on his report and this lead to both cards not being accepted. What I don't understand is if the ref did make a mistake on the report and we are all human why the result of the game is accepted but the cards not.

Point taken on questioning the referee, perhaps i should not do it here, however i would point out the following. The unit responsible for removing such suspensions do not do so on a whim, or feeling sorry for someone, these things are generally done on technicalities or video evidence. According to reports the reason for these suspensions been lifted was down to a reporting technicality which invalidated the report, so much so i believe if a player had received a serious injury which led to the cards both players would still have been cleared. 99% of players cleared is down to technicalities or wrong application of rule when issuing suspensions. IMO i believe a referee should not be talking on public forums about his style or his way of reffing games, there is only one way IMO to ref a game and that's to apply the rules at every opportunity. there is no rule in the rule book that allows a ref to apply his own way or style, if its a free or a penalty in the 25 min it should be the same in the 1st or 61st. i am sure if one of the big name referees took part in a podcast and talked about the fact of been proud of only giving 1 free in a college game and 2 in club game that he would be pulled aside and spoken with. Its a thankless job but part of the payment received means you (the ref) must compile a report of the outcome and submit to the body responsible and i believe in this case the report was inaccurate. again i agree the suspension's should have stood and i did not criticize the referee for issuing red cards to both players. pixey (Meath) - Posts: 60 - 03/08/2022 13:33:26 2436006 Link 0 |

The only thing im surprised about is posters on here thinking a kildalkey player would actually serve a suspension. hurlit (Meath) - Posts: 424 - 03/08/2022 13:54:56 2436018 Link 0 |

Fair point. No excuse for poor admin if you're getting paid. But you do get variance in how the rules are applied. There's a massive grey area around contact in the tackle at the moment. You often have 3 or 4 players tackling one, how can you be definite that 1 of these players isn't fouling or the player in possession isn't overcarrying? You'd want 6 sets of eyes. That's why there's good refs and bad ones. Good games and bad games. The Munster final this year is a perfect example of letting the game go for the benefit of the spectacle. In Meath club hurling we have some of the best free takers in the country. With some refs you are guaranteed 10-15 scoreable frees a game. In my opinion that's too high and a sign refs are blowing too much. the free count needs to come down for the betterment of the game. For reference. KK v Limerick there were 16 frees scored in the final. 9 for kk, 7 Limerick. In a 70 min match. begining (UK) - Posts: 311 - 04/08/2022 10:53:34 2436143 Link 0 |

No matter what people say about 'letting the game flow' there were more than 2 frees in the first half of that game and as the half went on the 'tackles' became more and more dangerous. Now it's almost a fact of life in sport that players will take more and more liberties if allowed to do so by referees and this is what happened here. Then to compound matters more there were a few very easy frees awarded early in the second half, making it very difficult for players to understand what was a free and what wasn't.

When does the RSHC (Real Hurling Championship) start that is when are Quarter Finals on as this Round Robin is really a pile of Challenges. Its great to see the likes of Blackhall competing well in the B division but when the real Hurling starts they be well down the pecking order. glenny (Meath) - Posts: 1115 - 12/08/2022 09:29:08 2437119 Link 1 |

i would go to 6 teams, 1 group, 5 round robin games, top 2 in a final, stop this bull of losing 2 games and winning a championship like has happened, the best 2 make a final and its balls out from round 1. our current championship is very poor quality,

I would go 8 Senior, 8 Intermediate and the rest Junior. No point in calling a championship B for creating the illusion of being a "Senior" club, only exception would be for Junior, where Junior B could be a separate grade. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1080 - 12/08/2022 18:09:59 2437225 Link 0 |

the SHC has become a borefest alright. never seen such a strung out championship for the sake of it. senior shouls be one group of 6 , everyone gets 5 games top 2 straight into final , 6th relegated. people might compain of dead rubbers in last round but we have that anyway as it is. its better than this phoney war shiit at the minute, losing two games and still in with a shout, sure no wonder meath county team gets hockeyed. what we have is a glorified league. no cutting edge at all until quter finals, its a waste of time and resources. at least senior b is cut throat. 4 teams going out of a six team group is crazy stuff. i know people may say, you have the best teams all playing one another, now lets be realistic it can be fairly turgid stuff at times, there not limerick, cork , tipp playing. dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 767 - 13/08/2022 18:22:54 2437298 Link 0 |

Na Fianna did very well today and were leading by point with 5 minutes left. Experience and Regan points got them over the line. NF now need Kildalkey to beat Ratoath and to win vs Dunboyne (not a formality) to qualify. Trim and Kiltale already into semis so 'dead rubber' coming up, but Kiltale are in the JHC final I think after beating Dunboyne at the weekend so can't afford to empty the bench. slane85 (Meath) - Posts: 13 - 14/08/2022 21:14:06 2437427 Link 0 |

Some game in Navan yesterday. Not entirely sure if any of the reds were actually red cards, but some result for Trim. Meathman678 (Meath) - Posts: 63 - 15/08/2022 09:56:35 2437457 Link 0 |

Trim came out firing in the second half of that game yesterday, they won every 50/50 and just seemed hungrier. B52M (Meath) - Posts: 15 - 15/08/2022 15:00:52 2437521 Link 0 |

2 reds for Trim definately, 2nd one for a shoulder to the head. Ratoath red was for 3rd man in, so red. 3rd red was also missed on head high tackle on Ratoath no 6 in second half.

First looked a strike but nothing much in it. The 2 together could have easily been 2 yellows and really should have been
