Cork AUL 2023/24

[Mousey mouse]

Knocknaheeny v Banteer & Los Zarcos v Bweeng the only games left standing for tomorrow. Will these go ahead? Would like to get to a game.

Ex los Zarcos player getting married today so the weather will come in as a handy excuse to cancel today’s game.

Just heard there off cathedral celic player down in dunnes that there game is off tomorrow!! Didnt aul send out email stating that no teams are to call off match until referee inspects pitch on match day???

Cathedral posting on Facebook looking for a Friendly, they booked an astro for 11! Crazy carry on should of just moved the league fixture.

A lot of rain last night but mental. Am I correct in saying that teams who lost home advantage in AOH will now have it back? Worst February we’ve gotten in a long time regarding games be off. Most leagues are in a good place games played bar one or two teams so once the evening games kick in they’ll be rattled off handy enough. Still tough on teams not having games for so long to stay interested. Especially if you know you might have nothing to play for.

Where does it state that theses or only games going ahead

[Harsh ref]

Just talking to lad that lines knocka pitch he lined pitch yesterday said he just got called games off the referee that was doing game lives in terrace alongside knocka pitch called it so save to say no games will go ahead on grass again this weekend

Where does it state that theses or only games going ahead

AUL Wordpress site is updated with postponements

[Harsh ref]

Updated me arse you have inside info Baller haha so another wash out this sat so will anything go ahead tomorrow you think

[Ballwasthere]

I agree they should have it in line with national league.

Underage is a big issue but will have to adjust.

They said they are open to each league adjusting their summer break accordingly. I guess you could go mid like 10th July to after Aug Bank Holiday off?

I guess you could add on an effective but not overwhelming use of the night games?

This could make it easier to have an up front fixture list for April, May, June, July and August?

In terms of AUL, I see it greatly effecting likes of Banteer, Coachford, Watergrasshill, Rathcoole, etc. You'd hope the AUL committee at the time don't then just do their own things as they do now for GAA. Different sport, look after your own sport and teams and have a fair playing field.

Each team would possibly need bigger squads? Cover summer holidays. Turners Cross may be less available. And....most of us here may not have any involvement or interest anymore.

I’ll be honest I didn’t for one second think of turners cross, no would city or the Fai allow that to be used during the season, same as Coleman’s park

If the games off ita reverts to the away team.

End of.

But only Cup games.

Grattan v Boscos last week , AOH ,,off due to the weather.......

Boscos v Grattan next week , AOH,,,,the joys get on with it .....

League games are completely different, your home game is ur home game , ur away game is ur away game., again end of.

Can lads involved with clubs not read the feckin rule book,,,,

The Aul rule book is local.
The MFA is regional , trumps the Aul.
The Fai is the daddy of them all an trumps them all.

[Harsh ref]

Calm down Mr aul lads that don’t know only asking

[Jason Bourne]

I'd hold off on the Cathedral thing lads .

You just can't book an astro an expect the opposition to play.

Locally ( as in the AUL) you need to give adequate notice,(24 hours),,, MFA and FAI it's at least 48 hours notice .

But that is only changing the playing surface,,,, game goes ahead at the same stated time .

U change the time or date an both teams have to agree with the leagie an the league have to provide the relavnt grade of ref ,,,,,its not as simple as skme of ye think ,,,,,,,,,,whom ever Cathedral were to play may not of been able to field a side @ 11 on a an astro or a ref may not of been available,,,,,,clubs arnt always guilty

Young fellas ask , old fellas should know.

Young fellas ask , old fellas should know.

Fully aware of the rules, was just saying they “could” have played at the earlier time in the official time obviously didn’t suit Strand so Cathedral who must be desperate for a game like most teams got a friendly of course well within there rights as long to follow the rules….

[Harsh ref]

Now now Jason it’s your job to know the rules wink wink and not through about all weather cause I team were sent to mayfield few weeks back to play a sat evening game that was down for 2 o clock and Aul made it clear they had to play which your well aware of so when it’s suits Aul they’ll make teams play end of.

[Jason Bourne]

Ref ,,,,,,il do this for ya

Once a fixture is officially posted then that's that, it's set in stone.

If the opposition are informed within reasonable time , ie within 24 hours of it being posted that there maybe a change in date or time then the opposition is within their rights to say no.

But in fairness to most clubs in the AUL they usually fulfill the fixture. Usually.

Ya can't force them to play outside the official time, that's why they ask you at the start of the season when can ya play.

In all fairness to the majority of teams , if when the fixtures are posted the week before , for say a Saturday at 2pm ya contact them ASAP to say you are switching it to an astro on Saturday at 6pm , that's refered to as reasonable notice.

If they came back an said no to 6pm on the same day , they can say no .

If the league can't get a ref for that time then ur goosed as well.

If you changed it to 4pm on a Sunday the opposition can say no.

The ref may also be unavailable .

In essence, fixtures are posted based on what all teams can adhere to , time and date wise.

Deferr from those agreed times has to be in agreement of all parties.

Not ur club.

The home team
The away team
The ref
The league

That's why grown ups are in charge.
