2 or 3 weekends of Friday & Sunday games could wrap up all the leagues. I’m sure clubs would be open to a midweek game at this stage too if need be. If the refs vote in favor of proposal, all parties will agree that the season needs to be wrapped up as soon as possible, so hopefully will be a smooth process.
Fixtures are back Sunday so lads.
Now all we need is abbey to go off to Kerry in the off season (if we get one) and we won’t have any more of this nonsense anymore :)
All joking aside. Glad to see the season will finish. Even if it will entail a lot of non games and walkovers
It'll have to be Friday/Sunday every weekQuote:

Fair play to the club delagates for brokering peace last night. Great news that cups and leagues being finished out. Best of luck to clubs with nothing to play for finding there players to play this Sunday of all sundays. But once again this is an outcome we needed lets get back to the football and start rebuilding the relationship between clubs/leagues and refs.Quote:

At present all but two have less than fifteen games played, and the league are not in a position to be giving clubs weeks off anymore.
Fixtures are out, no fixtures for Rathkeale and Kildimo but at least they're sticking to their rules.Quote:

Heard that there wee a few snide remarks passed towards the refs by a "Gentleman & A Lady" at the meeting the other night, and apparently both of them are on the outgoing committee. Pity that they could not have attended without the usual blinkered approach like the clubs and the refs did.
Hopefully the clubs will remember it when the AGM comes round and put in place people who can see that burying your head in the sand achieves nothing other than blindness . Great to see how well the clubs can do when a few wise heads put their thinking caps on and go into a meeting without any pre-conceived ideas of who is wrong and who is right.
Well done again to the Clubs and the Refs for getting football back on and the season finished
Agree it is great there has been a resolution but for me it's come too late... there'll be a lot of animosity towards Abbeyfeale from a few clubs within the league for a good few seasons to come after this debacle.
Personally I would have seen Abbeyfeale (Junior team) as the standard bearers in recent seasons, conducted themselves well, played well and were well coached... don't know what to think now... (the club as a whole have to take responsibility for this happening)
Also in relation to fixtures coming out Wednesday/ Thursday it's a joke; they must think fellas are just waiting with their gear bag in hand for games... it'll be interesting to see the scorelines/ and number of walkovers this Sunday...
They've waited this long; what was another few days gonna matter to teams so they could have proper notice.
If a team gets knocked out of a competition or relegated due to unavailability of players over the coming weeks will they have a right to appeal?
The season may end but if a team feels hard done by it won't be the end of it...
I see the king of the referees, the Kerry league assesor, is still posting ridiculous embarrassing statements up on Facebook. Hopefully William Attley will ensure he has nothing to do with football in the near future.
Who is William AttleyQuote:

Good luck to all teams and refs tomorrow. Hopefully there isn’t too many walkovers.
The Facebook warrior also posted something about the Desmond cup being cancelled. I presume that’s nonsense
You seem to know a lot about the refs balistinian , are you a ref or were you a ref.
Cracking 3-3 draw between Newcastle and Glin this morning. Great advertisement for the game with two good teams playing football the right way. Could very well meet in the Desmond Cup.
Heard Breska & Rathkeale B played out a very entertaining 2-2 Draw also this morning in the 1st Division, apparently end to end football with Rathkeale B playing the entire match with only 10 men, fair play to both teams & others for not giving walkovers with nothing really left to play for.. great to have the soccer back.
Broadford game with Carrig was out off till next Friday because of a wedding in Broadford. Abbey won 4-0 against a 10man Granagh. Game finished up at half time
Nah but you learn a lot when you actually just chat to one like a normal human lol.Quote:

Anyone got a full list of results ?
I was at the first 30 mins of that Breska game. As you said it was a very entertaining and end to end game in that period. Breska no.10 scored a peach of a goal into the top corner. Didn’t seem like Rathkeale only had 10 men the way they were playingQuote:

Crazy decision if true. Finish this season in full first, if next season needs to be pushed back by a month so be it. I’m surprised as well no mid week games on a Tuesday or WednesdayQuote:

It would also need to be players registered in the new season if that were the case, so for example if a guy playing for a team this season, signed for some one of the teams still involved in a cup competition, he would be entitled to play and wouldn't be cup tied.
I'm not sure what the precedent would be but I'm sure something like that has happened before...
I defer to the more knowledgeable football people on here regarding that one
Well done to all teams on getting games going again. Finish off the season in full,push it out a month. Ballistinianlad you have a follower by all accounts. Man is tapped wrong. I vaguely read through his posts not getting much reaction thankfully we still have people with lives.
Another good weekend of games ahead.
Might be no harm to get a midweek 1 0r 2 going if teams can organise between themselves.
Haha yes Desmond tutu. I think he’s given up his crusade though. Perhaps his friends in mi5 blocked his number lol.
Hopefully the cups aren’t cancelled.
so has a precedent been set, that if a club disagrees with what is in a referees card then the league will side with the club?
I think all questions are postponed until the season is finished Snafu :D
On a side note, with the kennedy cup on I see south dublin pulled out ant a team from belfast went in.
There are now 3 schoolboy trams from Limerick and only 2 from Dublin , beggers belief, imo county and Desmond should join together .
I'm open to correction but I think South Dublin have joined up with DDSL.Quote:

My lad was on the 2006 SDFL squad until we moved, and afaik they played all their games in the SFAI subway championships, so I suggest this might be just a blip.
There's room for a properly functioning South Dublin, North Dublin and SDFL imo.
Desmond, county and district should just join up , Galway have just one team in itQuote:

Desmond and county would benefit from joining but a lot would depend on the coach to make sure there’s no political picks etc
Do Kildimo have an exceptionally good u14 team. 9 players in the Kennedy cup squad is some achievement
Strong enough. Got a few players in from a neighboring club this year both of whom made Kennedy cup. Management also from kildimo so read what you will. Tough group but performed poorlyQuote:

Are Rathkeale guaranteed the league if they win this weekendQuote:

All three teams still to play each other.
Just a bit of concern regarding the fixturing.
After tomorrow Rathkeale will have one league game left.
If they make them play their last league game next week are they going to have to train away for a League Cup Semi that might not happen until next season, or best case scenario is still probably weeks away? Or will they push their final game out to coincide with everyone else's and play the league cup then which also leaves them with a few weeks off.
I could be completely off the mark here, would appreciate input.
