Another bout of high jinks today in the Dublin vs Meath national league match,5 sent off in first 10 mins 29 man brawl saw 4 go and then Ciaran Whelan sent off again for an off the ball GBH,on his way off he had a cup of tea thrown over him by an irate Meath supporter who was later taken away in an ambulance after been battered in the toilets by some Dublin fans.It really is only a matter of time before someone on the field or in the crowd is killed at a GAA match.
Pride and passion in the jersey: Dublin's 12 apostles beat the unlucky for some 13 Royals.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.
It was just a bit of a scrap for feck's sake.

true enough, though if it had been a soccer match it would have been called a riot and a lot more excitment from some in the media

These things happen in sport, you've just got to accept it. I'm not condoning it but in any game where you have a high degree of physical contact and emotions, there is going to be a few slaps thrown every now and again. It comes with the territory.
What was the Meath fan thinking throwing tea over Whelan? I can imagine that one having end with a Cantona-esque assault. Sorry to hear about what happened to him after the game but in all fairness he must have been off his head doing that. It was bound to cause trouble.

24 reasons why
1) The GAA player who played in front of 80,000 at the weekend will be teaching your children, selling you meat or fixing your drains on Monday morning. The soccer player who plays in front of 80,000 will be moaning about playing too many games and will be trying to sell you his personalised brand of leisure wear
2) GAA nicknames are better. Soccer players just add a Y to their surnames
3) Dublin vs Meath is a real derby. What does Lierpool Vs Everton mean to Kuyt or yobo?
4) How many soccer players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer eleven. One to stick it in and ten to surround and kiss him after he does it
5) Soccer players go to the papers after a game. GAA players go to the pub
6) John Terry would run a mile if he came up against Francie Bellew
7) GAA teams are numbered 1-15. A soccer team reads like the lottery results
All soccer players wear shin pads. Some hurlers wear helmets
9) Television runs soccer. Schoolteachers run the GAA
10) The GAA is about where you’re from. Soccer is about who you like
11) No segregation at GAA games
12) No soccer team has a nickname quite as lovely as the Fighting Cocks of Carlow
13) Bubble perms never made it to Croke Park
14) A scoreless draw in the GAA would be quite a novelty
15) Roman Abramovich can buy the League. You can’t buy Sam!
5) The GAA may not appreciate its women as much as it should but at least we all know who Cora Stanunton is. The most famous woman in English soccer is Posh Spice
16) Under age players get to be part of the biggest days in hurling and football at half-time in the All-Ireland.
17) Micheal O’Murchearaigh.
18)If a GAA player ever jumped at a spectator like Eric Cantona did the rest of his team would join in. So would the rest of the crowd.
19)Vinnie Jones grabbed Gascoignes testicles. Paudie O’Se decked Joe McNally during the National Anthem. McNally learnt his lesson. Gascoigne just got worse.
20) The GAA season always leaves you wanting more. The soccer season leaves soccer people demanding less. "Fewer games please"
21) Old soccer players get testimonials, Old GAA players just slip down to junior.
22) Rural villages = A Church, A Post-office, a Pub and a GAA pitch.
23) Pints after the match with the lad you knocked seven lumps of crap out of in the game.
24)Croke park on a Summer’s Day.

Would you two get a room beat the ************************ out of each other and then go for ten pints while waiting for Seán ógs 11o clock round up.
