Well, this brings relations between the 2 counties to an all time low. Disgraceful. We werent even playing ye, we just happened to be passing through.

Its not the first time Meath people have done something so shocking. I think they fancy themselves as some type of "Firm" What is really embarressing is when they try to copy Dublin on the Hill by chanting but yet the Meath fellas do it with English accents.

Don't think it had anything to do with football so don't think it should be used to promote bad feelings between fans to be fair!

From burning our Flag nd posting it on Youtube to throwing stones at our team bus.... It sounds like something that would go on in Turkey when a British soccer team is in town!!

Meath fans have the neck to call us s**m bags... What is it with Meath fans and throwing stones...!!

Loyaltotheroyal and RoyalGirlie....You must be disgusted.

This is a new low... one that I never thought possible in the GAA,

Clap,Clap,Clap..... well done to those concerned. I hope the Guards catch the culprit/Culprits,

Thank God no one was hurt.... and Well done to Gerry Harrington for trying his best to calm the situation.

But I cant wait until the Summer now... Fuel for our fire lads... fuel for our fire! I thank those involved for that....

Shocking is not the word HSB
For all the slagging that Dublin fans get, I don't recall a visiting teams bus ever being attacked in this sort of fashion
I know Harrington is trying to put the good relations on this but Meath people should really hang their heads in shame

Even the Dublin chairman stressed that he believes it wasnt Meath Fans.

It was prob just some little runt & it could have been any bus.
#hard to believe a bus has never been hit in Dublin tho.

Trust the Dublin fans to come out & put that spin on it saying it was Meath Fans.

How much information have you on the incident hillstreetblue? Or are you just reading the bit on the main page & adding your own twist?

Luckily for Bus Éireann the damage caused to the bus wasn't that serious.

I dunno Jinxie, ye werent long sticking the boot into Dubs fans re the Mortimer/Reilly incident....remember......? Despite there being absolutely NO evidence that it was GAA related. just another attack in the Mun by all likleyhood. This incident stinks as Buses are not randomly attacked in Meath, and the one that is just happens to contain ye're sworn enemies. hhhmmmmmmmm

Whats good for the Goose and all that.....

Ha Paddy I know your a wind up of the highest order but fair play on that one I have heard them at it a few times chanting 'same old Dublin always cheating' in a poxy English accent.....why???

pigonastick (Dublin) - Posts: 487 - 05/05/2010 11:39:01    638119

It is in no way a refelction on the true Meath supporters... we also have the morons and down right s**m bags that throw things! But Ive never tried to paper over our own problems.. I'd call on all true Meath fans to do the same!

Say it like it is... It was no accident that our bus was attacked!

Now lets hope that those involved will be caught.. and the true Meath fans stand up and condemn this incident instead of pointing the finger!

dont forget that famous Meath chant of "who are ya who are ya" sung like someone from Hammersmith as opposed to Nobber.
They are an embarrassment

What in the name of God are you rambling about.

Can you copy and paste the post(s) where I have stuck the boot into dublin fans?

nothing new in this Tyrone fans including myself were attacked in 95' all the way till Dundalk both Dublin and Meath hoodies I wouldn't call them GAA fans pelted our Bus after the 95 All Ireland thank God for the New Motorway link , Also in 2008 Tyrone Buses carrying fans home were attacked outside Armagh in a Nationalist area so couldn't blame it on a loyalist minority ,I think these people have nothing better to do but cause vandalism because they get a buzz from it.

Nail on head fortyfive. Stoning buses is passtime of neanterthals in too many places and doubt the Navan incident had anything to do with fact that Dublin team were on it. It was dark and they hardly recognised any of the faces! It is massive problem in Dublin from easter to September as ferral children put entire routes off in certain areas because of this. I was on a bus a few years ago when woman received pretty serious face injury. Kids throwing the rocks - half of a small brick in that instance - looked only to be 9/10 years of age :(

Maybe it was Dublin kids that had moved to Meath?

I'm from Longford and if Roscommon won an all Ireland and passed through our land I would lead the stone throwing. It's a way at venting your fury. Nobody got hurt. People need to harden up. A few stones never hurt anyone. Football's a mans game.

More than likely it was the Mayo firm on tour, threw a few green and gold jerseys on and waited for the bus to pass through
Apparently a wooden spoon was fired at the bus

Just s**mbags that did it, it happens everywhere Dublin, Meath, Derry, Carlow, Kilkenny, Cork (sorry if i missed your county out ;)) and every other county in Ireland.
It shouldnt be a reflection on Meath supporters as a whole.
Was there not a pile of northern cars vandalised in Dublin at one match a few years ago? I wouldnt blame that on Dub supporters same way i wouldnt blame this on Meath supproters.
Just ******* with nothing better to do.

A lot of people over reacting about a few kids throwing stones. I doubt they even knew it was the dublin team. This type of thing has happened loads of times in Dublin with kids throwing stones at dublin bus, it has nothing to do with Gaelic fans.

I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion entirely. These people could have been supporters from any county...what are these Dublin fans coming on here suggesting? that each county has inhabitants from it's own county and no outsiders? this is nonsense....I mean it wasn't even confirmed that it was a Meath supporter involved. I compare it with people announcing Gerry Ryans death before the official announcement. Dublin fans showing contempt for Meath fans in this instance DO YOU NOT THINK YOUR JUMPING THE GUN A BIT HERE?
