April 2022 The 2010 Leinster Senior Football Championship was that year's installment of the annual Leinster Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of the Leinster GAA. It was won by Meath who defeated Louth in an eventful final on 11 July.http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/football/2012/0722/330148-dublin-meath/ Dublin 2-13 Meath 1-13 RTÉ Sport 22 July 2012 22 July 2012 A contentious goal was given. Irate Louth fans pursued the referee around the pitch at the final whistle, bottles were hurled from the stand and the mayhem was compared to soccer player Thierry Henry's handball that cheated the Irish soccer team of their place at the 2010 FIFA World Cup the previous November.http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2010/0711/crokerpark_meath_louth.html Referee is attacked in Croke Park RTÉ Sport RTÉ 11 July 2010 11 July 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100712234014/http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2010/0711/crokerpark_meath_louth.html 12 July 2010 Patsy McGarry Conor Lally http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0712/1224274518490.html Referee shoved in chest after GAA final 12 July 2010 The Irish Times 12 July 2010Damian Cullen http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2010/0712/1224274518850.html September Road 12 July 2010 The Irish Times 12 July 2010 After Joe 'Thierry Henry' Sheridan's controversial handling of the ball at the end of yesterday's Leinster final, we wracked our brains for some of the other controversial and bizarre endings to GAA matches.Johnny Watterson http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2010/0717/1224274900960.html Hold the back page 17 July 2010 The Irish Times 17 July 2010 The unravelling of the Leinster football final sparked off radical suggestions the match should be replayed and while not as globally embarrassing as the FAI whimpering over the Thierry Henry hand ball, it seemed equally absurd. While Meath diplomacy forbids them to ridicule the 'Replayistas' in the manner Fifa boss Sepp Blatter did with the FAI, be sure Meath players bridled at the suggestion.Allison Bray Colm Keys Denise Clarke http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/mayhem-and-madness-as-fans-attack-referee-2254900.html Mayhem and madness as fans attack referee 12 July 2010 Irish Independent 12 July 2010 Meath chairman Barney Allen refused to be drawn on a potential offer of a replay afterwards, drawing comparison with the Irish soccer team's plight last November after the Thierry Henry handball. 'Ireland didn't get a replay when France got a lucky goal,' said Mr Allen. The winning Meath team received the Delaney Cup, and automatically advanced to the quarter-final stage of the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Kildare beat them there.http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/football/2010/0801/268794-meath_kildare/ Kildare storm past Meath to reach semis RTÉ Sport RTÉ 1 August 2010 1 August 2010 Bracket Preliminary round Quarter-finals Semi-finals Final Louth 1-11 Longford 1-7 Wicklow 3-13 Carlow 0-12 Meath 1-20 Offaly 2-7 Louth 1-22 Kildare 1-16 Wicklow 1-11 Westmeath 0-15 Meath 2-14 Laois 0-10 Wexford 0-15 Dublin 2-16 Louth 1-15 Westmeath 2-10 Meath 5-9 Dublin 0-13 Louth 1-10 Meath 1-12 Preliminary round 16 May 2010 Preliminary round Wicklow 3-13 – 0-12 Carlow L Glynn 1-4, T Hannon 0-6, P Earls, JP Dalton 1-0 each, S Furlong 0-2, P McWalter 0-1.
