It is under appeal as far as I know. Training session was on Celtic Astro for the 60 minutes we booked it for, less the time we spent warming up and for a half time team talk. If I'd known I had to notify the ML every time I had a kickabout, I wouldn't bother.Quote:

Just a pity these bureaucrats have and are destroying the game in this county and I am including the current referees committee in that. Any chance of a asteroid flattening Milebush or is that just wishful thinking.Quote:

The ref who was at the game Newport / Snugboro game was not suspended and is entitled to ref any game at his level (one). He is suspended by the Mayo Ref’s Assoc (trade union). Poor form by the Mayo League who seemed to the run the game to suit themselves and their clubs and against clubs who question them.Quote:

Lets hope that the sheepish clubs reject this,at the moment there is suposed to be 5m space between the goal line and the surounding fence around the pitch olso compulsary,which leves very little space for anothher 5m.Quote:

Next they will ask us to play with a GAA ball.Quote:

i doubt the boro will even get an apology from him, instead he'll be waiting to give us a bigger fine as soon as he can
Sweet Jesus if its not one thing its another. What purpose would this proposal serve??? and I presume any rule would have to be within FAI/UEFA/FIFA guidelines. Glad to hear some sense prevailed on the Boro issue.Quote:

You must assume it's to rule out the Rival arena. Strange one, I thought the Mayo League would be interested in seeing more games played rather than called off? Sometimes it seems they want to bring in new rules just for the sake of it. Almost like someone is trying to build a legacy.
FIFA laws of the games say:
Dimensions The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line. Length (touch line): minimum 90 m (100 yds) maximum 120 m (130 yds) Width (goal line): minimum 45 m (50 yds) maximum 90 m (100 yds) All lines must be of the same width, which must be not more than 12 cm (5 ins).
ML going for 5m longer each side than the minimum. What are the dimensions of Rival Park? Which other pitches are in danger?
I can understand if clubs are unhappy playing on astroturf and personally I would prefer to play on grass any day. But if this is an attempt to rule the rival arena out while still allowing Milebush to be used then its just a disgrace and an embarrassment to all concerned.Quote:

dont think newport appealed to the connaught council(think they couldnt afford the appeal or got there appeal in on time, but not too sure) so unless the chairman does the right thing and reverse his ruling in the first place, newport will still be deducted 3 points. but hes never going to admit he was wrong......
Heard the Mayo League didn't want to allow any vote on the size of the pitch, but were forced into it by the Celtic Chairperson. Top table not one bit happy. They stated it was not a voting matter and only can be changed by them. They also could not give a valid reason why the decided to change the pitch dimensions. Vote was taken with 26 delegates in favour of the Mayo League reversing the decision on pitch size at their next meeting. We will wait and see.
That is great to hear that the Mayo league is told that its run by the clubs and not by the top table and the clubs stood up to them.Its only last week a different comitee, our club forced them too admit they had brought someting in that an adverse effect last season that they did not have too,not one club supported us at the meeting but a senior club told us when the meeting was over we were right,when questioned why they said nothing at the meeting they said what was the point.Quote:
