Can't understand how we're playing matches without the proper markings on the pitch. Saying that the referee's are doing well without umpires or linesmen

Presume you're referring to Tyrrellspass pitch, markings could have been clearer, Peter Foy was excellent for Loman's, how many two pointers did he score? Four possibly? Dean McNicholas scored one to draw the match in injury time. Decent game and fair result. Tyrrellspass much improved from opening day

Yeah it was impossible to see any lines never mind the mark. Peter Foy kicked two and Shane Dempsey kicked one. Mcnicholas point was the score of the match though absolutely outrageous stuff. Never saw anything like the amount of lads Lomans are missing, saying that Tpass are well short as well

Great score by McNicholas at the end to level it. Dempsey scored 10 points. 2 teams both missing loads, thought the ref did well considering everything.

Its league football teams are missing players all over. Lomans could have 10 back the next day and win a game by 15. Out the next week and down 7/8 again. Its just the nature of it i suppose. On a side note for the person trying to predict league results on this forum will you please stop.

So sickened for that team lads. Another morale victory in a game we should have got something from. Lack of height in the full back line ultimately killed us. Great performances from McCartans, Ray and Whittaker particularly

Also our support today was absolutely abysmal again. That's three games where we were outnumbered at least 5 to 1 in support if not 10 to 1

Sam McCartan was outstanding. So was Whittaker. Connellan likewise.

The support issue is just demoralising, a bit better today as local derby but Meath easily had 65% of the crowd.

Disagree finishing to me bigger issue million did well in corner I thought Ray good and Sam. Don't agree height all time need balance but dint think today it was issue. . Yes important but not everything if they have no football ability

Hard to critise these lads they have given everything in every game, missing some experience and height today in full back line, the goal at end should have made no difference as we should have been out of sight with all the bad misses with the wind, a real shame to be heading back to division 3 but the future is bright

Big crowd and atmosphere today in Cusack park but as others have stated-majority were supporting Meath.Once again our young lads put in a huge effort and were very unlucky not to get something from the game.Ray Connellan and Sam McCartan had huge games but really the whole team /subs have to be applauded.Possession from Conor McCormack's kivk outs was much better and we also won a fair share of the Meath kick outs.McCormack went short 6 times and found his man each time.But once again some of referee Barry Judge's decisions were mind boggling-none more so than overturning the free given to Robbie Forde right at the death which lead to the build up the Meath's winning goal which was scored after the hooter went..Really felt for the lads on the pitch after the game-you could see they were hurting.

The Ref gave some baffling decisions for both sides , in the second half in particular . I didn't hear the hooter, if it went off it, wasn't very loud, part of the problem..
