Meath and Laois have abysmal recent Championship records.
So had Down going into the 2010 season when they reached, abs were unlucky not to win, the All-Ireland final against Cork
What’s recent?

what relevance does the league positioning stat which you threw out have to the point? Their championship record has no implication on their league standing.
Past two seasons.
He sent off the Monaghan player when he shouldn’t have. The Tyrone player should have been given a black card for simulation.
It has relevance to Meath and Laois, the two Division 2 sides that Dublin will face this season.
It has relevance to Dublin’s easy path through Leinster.
Now deal with the issue.
That’s convenient.
Down lost to Wexford in the qualifiers in 2008 and whimpered out of the Championship in 2009.
Hughes would have gone anyway due to a black card for rugby tackling Colm Cavanagh, he was already on a yellow.
Sure McCann got a black card two minutes later in any case.
Conor Meyler was also incorrectly given a black card in that game which was rescinded later on in the year.
Down beat Tyrone who went on to win the All Ireland in 2008 and lost to a Wexford side who made an All Ireland semi-final that year - not an abysmal record.

Surely a ban os in order for this fool. Nobody can discuss anything anymore.
They lost to Wiclow the following year which served as the correct gauge of their status.
It qualified their status. Wexford had just been beaten by a metric fuckload by Dublin in the Leinster final.
He’s backed into a corner now.
Leave him be.
Not ifs and buts.
Darren Hughes committed a black card offence in dragging Colm Cavanagh to the floor, he was being sent off in any case according to the rule book.
McCann got black carded two minutes later anyway so it just meant a substitution would have taken place two minutes earlier.
Conor Meyler was incorrectly black carded in the first 20 minutes of the game.
Nobody can get away with bullshit anymore. You wouldn’t like that, for obvious reasons.
The wexford lads haven’t dominated this much since Mattie retired.
What’s if and what might have been.

Now, now don’t be changing from your 2008 stance.
