Monaghan should have been relegated to Division 2 automatically for such a blatant and negligent breach of rules and public health guidelines. Instead they get a home game and a full week to reminisce about a wonderful victory in the summer of 2018 and how they got to dance around the hallowed turf in Salthill.

You broke the Covid-19 regulations - you should have been dumped along with the Dubs into Div 2 you shower of cheats!

Neutral venue, grand! Sensible decision by the county boards! Breffni might make sense! TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 31/05/2021 13:41:18 2346955 Link 2 |
The second part of your last sentence is simply incorrect, false. Galway manager seems to be similarly confused?

You're right, but if anything this only exposed what a cop out the punishment actually was. At least Dubs are doing the decent thing and going for a neutral venue.

Yes we are cheats and the punishment was a loss of one home game and the Manager banned for 3 months.. With the one home game we could have been in the top half of the table.. Galway had 2 home games and still made it to the bottom half of the table.. We have paid the sentence, now get of our backs.. Farney (Monaghan) - Posts: 801 - 31/05/2021 14:33:22 2346991 Link 1 |
You you ever quit giving out. You have a smart answer for everything. There is a small thing called COVID that has slightly effected the whole world. Also people on here complain that club players not getting a proper cut at their championships. Do we push club games back again?

There is a huge difference between a league game and a knockout game, losing Division 1 status especially with the new championship is massive - a neutral venue would be the fairest option for all knockout games.

Definitely the punishment was ridiculously lenient and you can be sure if it wasn't for the fact Dublin were guilty of the same offence we would have been dumped into division 2 and rightly so. Relegating Dublin would have served no purpose other than effectively punish the teams in Division 2 Dublin did not have the say on declaring for a neutral venue, it had to be agreed jointly because Donegal had equal say and gave up the chance of a home game. Maybe had Galway asked rather than throw all the toys out of the pram, Monaghan may well have offered a neutral venue, don't know, we did wrong in training early but did nothing wrong here We could easily be playing Kerry in the semi final had we not forfeited home advantage against Armagh mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 31/05/2021 16:07:44 2347058 Link 1 |
Don't worry about it.If the shoe was on the other foot I don't think there would be much sympathy for you.Just go out and win the game and stay up.

They had less home games because they got caught breaking restrictions? What part of that isn't true . The lost a home game because they broke restrictions

The game that Monaghan lost home advantage for (Armagh) counted as a home game in the decision making process for relegation play-offs. Galway had 2 home games, Monaghan had 1 (which was forfeited). Monaghan are not benefiting from the punishment meted out for breaking regulations, this point is clearly being misunderstood by many.

When the competition started each team had 3 games to play.....some teams had 2 away games and some teams had 2 home games. We had 2 away games and you had 2 home games therefor it was decided before the competition started that if we were to meet in a playoff that the team that played 2 away games would have home advantage. Us The away game for breaking the restrictions does not count in this regard and the people that are saying we are benefiting from that away game, including those in the media, are clueless mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 31/05/2021 18:14:58 2347121 Link 0 |
Fair enough...I still think it should be a neutral venue or the higher placed team gets home advantage. The rules make no sense obviously the issue is at the top

Wouldn't be hard to be smarter than you in all fairness, if there was any decency about Monaghan they should offer to play Galway in a neutral venue, Galway have every right to be fuming about this, more mayhem created by Croke Park.

Didn't help that the Sunday game pundits didn't understand what they were being told.

Your opinion is duly noted to go along with the many others showing your hatred for Monaghan, 2013 was it or 2015 that done it,
