Why should Louth GAA be punished if they are not members? Surely that's not fair?
Was it fair on the referee to be punched and shouldered as he tried to get off the pitch?
Was it fair on the steward to get hit with a bottle over the head on the sideline?
Was it fair that a former Meath manager is assualted by Louth fans after the game?
Was it fair that the Maeth players were assaulted on the pitch by Louth players when they offered to shake hands after the game?
Everyone keeps saying it was only a handful of Louth supporters that acted like thugs. From what i could see it was a lot more than a handful.
Louth should be thrown out of this years championship. I would say the same if my own county (Cork) behaved in the same manner.
It is only a matter of time before someone is killed at an inter-county GAA game. The same problems as Sunday could manifest at another game in Thurles, Pairc Ui Chaoimh or The Gaelic Grounds where there is even less stewarding than Croke Park.
For far too long the GAA has spoken about the amatuer ethos when it suits them. Its all about amatuer when it comes to paying out money (to stewards/players/referees etc..) but it is oh so professional when it comes to taking in money (gate receipts, TV rights, Sponsorship etc...)
