id doubt they were gaa fans in fairness and these type of things have been happening all around the country especially on the m50 where youths have thrown blocks onto the motorway. i also remember the train back to mayo being stoned coming out of inchacore a good few years ago. these youths have no connections with the gaa and are really not wanted in this country. even all over ireland including my own county there have been incidents of fire and ambulance crews attacked. you really would wonder the mentatily of some people or are they human at all?

Lads it was probably Dublin fans.There is so many of them in Meath now a days and they probably thought that it was the Meath bus such is there lack of GAA knowledge.Stop whinging and focus on the Championship ahead.

New playing rules to come into effect on May 15
05 May 2010

The GAA Congress 2010 passed a number of playing rule changes relevant to football and hurling which will come into effect in all games played on or after May 15th 2010.

In total there are six changes specific to football only and three specific to hurling, while a further six changes affect both codes.

A summary of the changes is as follows:

Football Only
1. Handpass - If a player handpasses the ball using the open hand, there must be a definite underhand striking action.
2. Penalty Kicks - All penalty kicks will now be taken from 11 metres out
3. Kick Outs - All kick outs will now be from the 13 metre line
4. Sideline kicks - Line balls must be kicked from outside the boundary line
5. Illegal Charge - It is illegal for a charge to be made on a player kicking the ball.
6. Definition of bounce - The redefinition of the bounce has the effect that the "Basketball Type", bounce, per se, is not a foul.

Hurling only
1. Puck Outs - The penalty for taking a puck-out from outside the small rectangle is changed from the award of a 65m free to the opposition to a throw in the ball on the defenders' 20m line.
2. Handpass - The ball must be released and struck with a definite striking action of the hand
3. Penalties - Both attackers and defenders must remain outside the 20m line and the arc until the ball is struck from a penalty and the three defenders on the line must not move off the line until the ball is struck.

Both Hurling and Football
1. Restarting Play - If play is stopped by the referee to enable a seriously injured player to be treated, play will now resume with a free to the team that had possession. However it will not be permitted to score from such a free (if neither team is "in possession", play shall re-start with a throw in)
2. Throw ins - when the play is being restarted by a throw-in, this must take place a minimum of 13 metres from the sideline
3. Advantage - A referee will now signal that advantage is being played by raising his arm
4. Extra Time - Extra time consists of 10 minutes per half only. The provision for two additional periods of 5 minutes per half has been removed
5. Boundary Lines - The penalty for a player deliberately going outside the boundary lines of the pitch to gain an advantage has changed from a caution to a free.
6. Charge - A charge is now defined as "shoulder to shoulder" rather than "side to side"

Whoever done it should be sorted out because it takes nothing but s**m of the highest order to physically damage anyone or anything, they don't represent any percentage of GAA fan much less meath fan to honest.

**** knows what will happen if we play the dubs this year, should be fun now anyway!

and yet another thread pops up about dub v meath. This incident seems like a storm in a tea cup.
I bet if i crashed my D reg car in meath, there would be another thread on how the dubs are trying to ruin meath.
Give over it hill16, you just turned 21 and your comments make you sound a hell of a lot younger.
They could have been any supporter to do that, even shamrock rovers ones!

When was the last time the Dublin SENIORS won an All-Ireland that ye robbed thanks to poor refereing and Charlie Redmond not leaving the pitch.I know an All-Ireland is an All-Ireland but i didn't see any Dublin fans singing and dancing on the side of the street on Saturday night.

For gods sake dry your eyes, Clubs in the 6 Occupied Counties of Ireland have had their Cars, Mini Buses , Buses and Trains stoned for years, club houses burned down, pitches destroyed, club members murdered, and got no help from the other 26 counties , and to add insult to injury, these are the same dregs of society whom Congress voted to allow into Croke park, against the wishes of the long suffering 6 Counties gaels.

[i"]these were not real meath gaa fans....."

I have to agree with db9, real Meath GAA fans wouldn't have left a single window in the bus. Dublin are extremely lucky it wasn't the real deal they ran into last Monday evening.
