The day Louth football can’t forget or forgive
Widely regarded as one of the greatest injustices ever to befall a Championship game, the fallout from Sheridan’s illegitimately scored but ultimately permitted goal was colossal. Martin Sludden’s refereeing career never really recovered, two Louth supporters who aggressively accosted him were brought up in front of court, the GAA were accused of being Pontius Pilate while relations between Louth and Meath supporters hit a new low. Meath players maintain their victory wasn’t sullied. A documentary this year returned to that fateful Leinster final that won’t be forgotten in a hurry.
