Abbey are the only club with a part to play in this. The league requires refs and a committee to operate. Remove Abbey and put the other clubs and members first, as they’re the only ones completely innocent in this mess. It’s not rocket science or an attack on Abbey, it’s common sense.
I couldn’t agree more.Surely they must be gone by the weekend.Quote:

They won this years oscar traynor because the city didnt have a team either.
Janesboro would probably beat a combined Desmond tean 8 nil.
You sound like a man that would make a good committe member if the league folds fanaticfan.....they've only giving up there time like others voluntarily over the years to try and run a league as best they can and to be fair have done an excellent job...
I've been following the abbeyfeale story now with great interest and I wonder how many clubs would be willing to throw there entire youth team under the bus for the sake of a ref who we all know can be a bit of a Walter mitty and has been down this route a few years back.By all accounts if a league deal with suspensions and fines which I'm sure they did referees need to except this.. As for your opinion on Oscars trainer team you would go well to find anyone other then Broadford rathkeale or abbeyfeale who can compete with the likes of janesboro.
Hello every 1
Well at least the league would be presented by the league champions. Better than having no team entered in the oscar traynor imo. Imo it would be better to get rid of the abbeyfeale youths them than not finishing the season at all. The league and all clubs are suffering because of it all.
Hello limkref
Well fanatticFan
Rumour mill in full swing again from hearing over the weekend that the league issued abbey with a proposal to get the league finished but abbey rejected it. Gazza you might be able to fill us in a bit more. What right have abbey rejecting anything at this stage
What was the proposal?
Why are lge coming out with a proposal , why don't they just grow a pair and make a definitive action , and abbey either agrees or is thrown out.
Referees proposed 2 things:
1: Two linesmen to assist referee at Abbeyfeale games.
2: Suspend the 14 names on the card from the youths match in which the incident occurred. ( I think just until the end of the season, but I'm open to correction)
Number 2 was as an alternative to publicly naming the alleged real perpetrators involved I believe.
League refused both proposals.
League counter proposed that a member of the league committee be present at all Abbeyfeale matches as an overseer of sorts.
Referees rejected this.
That's my understanding of what happened.
I don’t think by law you can name the individuals if they are u18Quote:

Maybe a proposal from clubs to throw out the current committee, it's obvious they are not impartial .
Said it before the league committee are a joke and need to grow a pair. Fair play to the committee for ruining the league for everyone else. 👍

Colleagues.
As you are aware mediation talks were held last week but despite almost 5 hours of talks no resolution was forthcoming. This is frustrating as our branch does not want to hurt the innocent clubs and players in our league who are now drawn into this dispute. In order to resume the season we have offered to operate as a trio for all the remaining fixtures of the club (has worked in other leagues) or will return as normal if the names on the match card from the night of the assault are stood down for the remainder of the season or until the guilty party is brought forward. These have been rejected by the MC who want us to return with a club committee member and a league committee member at all games to ensure our members safety. In a final gesture of goodwill the assaulted referee has waived his right to take any legal action against the guilty party and is happy to have him dealt with by the football authorities only. We stand steadfast beside our colleague who suffered this assault and are aware that it could have happened to any one of us.
As the mediator is working on this case in the background we will not comment further other than bring you this update.

This season is gone lads... no resolution this week ?? Teams will be depleted after this weekend with holidays & most importantly the innocent players just sick of waiting around from week to week ?? Are clubs still training ? I hope not ... As I said before the death of the Desmond League... city teams must be laughing thinking of players going in to them...Murphy , Smith in Abbey ... Ahern in rathkeale... Brosnan in Broadford & many more... Farewell
Hearing that Breska are looking into going into town to play next season.
I’d imagine all fees should be returned to clubs if the seasons called up. Fines wiped clean etc
And that is exactly why people should go into town playing football instead of playing in this league. Aj O Connor won the Lawson Cup with fairview this season. Shane Stack won the league and oscar traynor with janesboro this year.
such a pity to see Desmond league football in such a state , some excellent footballers are produced.
There are only 3 really strong teams in the Desmond league at this stage and they are at the top of the premier league .Quote:

Makes sense for breska to go into town , they might pick up a few players who don’t want to be all over west Limerick on a Sunday morning . Ferry rangers be as well off in Kerry too .
Would it make sense abbeyfeale moving to the Kerry league

An awful pity, even if we go back to playing now clubs will struggle with j1s , exams and the likes.
I wonder would clubs agree to promotion / relegation on current positions and just finish out the cup competitions. Cant see agreement but just a sugestion.
No chance of that happening, either way the value and momentum is gone out of the season, some great facilities and efforts with no end product. Govern body should have intervened for disciplinary reasons.Quote:

This has been over and back far too long , we are forgetting in all of this that Abbey also might like to have the league finished. Im sure the man in the middle would not have wanted this to get this far either but they needed to make a statement and by god they did. what ever comes out of tomorrow night i hope that 1 man doesnt carry the story of been the man that stopped the lot. lastly i believe there is a well established mediator/referees assessor who can solve the problem but is being ignored from solving all of this?
Don't be surprised if it's suggested by the committee tomorroww night that we'll have a 12 team premier and a 12 team Division 1 next season.
It would be a way to get around the issue of promotion/relegation and keep a few more clubs from giving the league a hard time.
Obviously just a hypothetical, but don't be shocked if something along those lines ends up happening or at least the idea being floated to clubs.
Anyone on the supporters of junior soccer page, how can you get on it? i believe an athea man is posting up updates on this and claiming he is a mediator with credentials. surely he would have been the ideal candidiate to sort out this mess. i heard he had several previous pages garda checkpoint Munster and banter pages but was targeted on them as been a crazy keyboard warrior. lets hope there is a league to come back to next year a 12 team premier will be the last topic discussed tomorrow night im sure. will there be refs/ abbey members and league all involved in his meeting.
This situation needs a level more this. Just a mediator because there is no neutral fault in this , the club and players are 100% at fault , it needs the clubs and the Desmond league officials to sort it out, if they can’t the Munster branch or the fai.Quote:

Iv seen this referee assessor and his posts. Personally I think he needs to stop. He is making the situation worse if anything. I doubt he speaks on behalf of the west limerick branch of the isrs
hopefully the trio of referees is proposed tonight and start playing again the weekend. next year clubs should promote the referees course. they get a good wage if they were to ref 7 games a week, 2 Saturday and 2 Sunday and 3 during the week between underage men and ladies they've a good wage. our referees are getting too old to be put in these scenarios. A few men in there 70s taking cheek from youngsters for 50 euro is not right either. i spoke with a referee briefly last Saturday in carrig and he slated the man[shaking his head in disgust] who is behind some of these pages on social media and he stated he had done nothing but mislead peoples opinions from the start. i haven't seen any of his stuff as i dont know how to locate his nonsense but from what he told me he has been posting only to get a responce. the last thing this arguement needed was a man posting up stuff at all hours of the night. pull in the chests all sides leave the stubbornness at home and lets get back playin football.
this whole situation has gone on too long.i think if the league can abolish rule for 3 officials it should be done to finish season but the only problem I see with this is for the long term future of league it would be a very negative move..the reason been if referees are not happy with next disciplinary matter the league deal with what is to stop them throwing the toys out again..i don't know is there another answer to this, I'm amazed the fai have not come in and taken charge, I do not think this would happen in irfu or even gaa circles... embarrassing by all parties at the minute..
Will it ever be sorted out
Well, what's the scoop from tonight.
