Shane Horgan To Blame For Meath GAA Decline.
Most people point to the exit of the likes of Trevor Giles and Darren Fay from the game as the main reason Meath haven’t really competed for the All Ireland in ten years, others just mention Sean Boylan and shrug their shoulders. But maybe the answer lies in the oval foreign ball.
Meath is a football county where players like Boots McGuinness and John McDermott grew up knowing what game they were to play, no doubt in their mind, they also knew what team they were to play for, it was ingrained in their hearts and minds. Today a youngster in Meath has a number of issues to deal with, none more so than the dark clouds of the professional game Rugby, casting a shadow across the heartlands of the Cumann luthchleas Gael.
The strongholds of Dunshaughlin, Kells, Navan and Trim are being bombarded with popped collars and Leinster jerseys, young men are seeing the once clear vision of a call up to the Senior team shrouded by the image of Bettystown native Shane Horgan scoring championship winning tries and mixing in the company of the professional elite.
Phillip Browne and the lads at the IRFU are money rich and ambition heavy, they are machine like in their expansion across the former single sport towns of Ireland. You just need to see which team just won a Leinster Rugby title to realise the extent to which this sport is beginning to encroach. So what now for Meath GAA, can they protect the game against the the new land of rugby where Sky Sports replaces LMFM and a wet Wednesday in Kilcloon takes a back seat in favour of a trip to Biarittz. Time will tell, but at the moment many fans would gladly take another try like goal from Joe Sheridan to secure some progress in the GAA championship.

The Special One Fights Back – With Rory McIlroy’s help
Real Madrid have taken to the interwebs to fight back against Pepe’s red card, they even refer to wee Rory’s tweets..
The play that changed the course of what was an evenly-fought match was not worthy of a red card
Realmadrid.com
Much has been said and written concerning Pepe’s send-off against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semifinal, but an image speaks louder than words and video from Realmadrid TV clearly shows the player only touched the ball. Thirty minutes remained in the match and the referee sent Pepe off with a direct red card following a lose ball dispute between Alves and Pepe. The rest of the play has been publically scrutinized far and wide. Alves, who obviously appears to be in pain, abandons the pitch on a stretcher. After consulting with one of his assistants, German referee Wolfgang Stark shows Pepe the red card one minute after the play took place. Once he saw the decision made by the referee, Alves made his way back onto the pitch in full stride.
It wasn’t the only controversial play of the match, however. Arbeloa and Pedro were involved in another incident. Thirty-nine minutes into the first half, the Madridista defender blocked Barcelona forward’s running lane. There was shoulder-to-shoulder contact, but no aggressive intent. Pedro fell to the turf and clutched his face, and the entire Barcelona bench stood up to continue protesting for the foul.
An ugly gesture that appears to have become a constant. Look no further than the images of the incident between Marcelo and Busquets five minute earlier; another lose ball and again, the Barcelona player ends up on the turf. It wasn’t Alves this time, but Busquets. The dive is just as obvious as Marcelo’s expression of surprise. Marcelo protects the ball with his body and Busquets goes over the Madridista defender’s back and blatantly falls to the floor with his hands over his face. Another unsportsmanlike gesture and more fuel to the fire for the referee to deal with. It lasted for 90 minutes as millions around the world watched on the small screen.
The sports world cries out
Rio Ferdinand: “This diving is a joke/embarrassing. When Pedro watches that do you think he’ll think, “What was I doing!?” Rugby players must laugh at football. If you ever see me go off on a stretcher then run back on to play, I give everyone on here the green light to him me with a two-footed tackle.”Michael Owen: “Alves’ actions won’t please many as if he had got straight up it would have been a yellow card, but Barça fans will be happy with his actions.”
Rory Mcilroy: “Dani Alves, you are a disgrace. Roll about on the floor just a bit more!”
Chad Ochocinco: “I can’t believe they just gave Pepe a red card for that.”
