Jaysus were not getting into this again are we?? It's not GAA, players can come and go as they please. No one had a gun to their head. Midleton have 'Poached' players from other clubs too. I agree that it's a silly rule but there's lots of silly rules in football
Did you ever hear of this rule before now nutter?Quote:

4-2 Carrigaline v castleview apparently. Squeaky bum time for sure on sat now.
Castleview 2-4 Carraigaline
Unlucky or well beaten? How did the scoring go?Quote:

Mad indeed. Six points for a win apparently now as well. They have jumped from 32 to 38 on the table. Mistake surely.
Abysmal defending for the last 2 goals especially as ye had just played yere way back into itQuote:

Hope it's a mistake. That was ages ago and was clear as day that it was correct decision to deduct.Quote:

Ignorance of the rules is no excuse and the only people to blame for getting thrown out of the competition are Midleton themselves.Quote:

Big win tonight for Carrigaline. Taught were full value for the win. 2-0 up inside first 20 minutes. two very well taken goals.Sat back for next 25 and castleview got very much back into the game, seemed to play long ball tactics for most of the game. but lovely floated ball to back post for well finished effort 5 minutes befor ht to make it 2-1. first 5 minutes of the second half were crazy to say the least. Very contentious penalty for castleview, looked short of the penalty area but given anyway. 2-2. looked like castleview would turn it around but staright from tip off michael kiernan scored an absolute belter. rounded 2 players and cracked in a beauty from 35 yards!! Really seemed to deflate castleview. 4-2 soon after keeper failed to deal with long ball in, swept in at back post. Castleview kept throwin balls up but carrig should have put another 1 or 2 past them, missing a penalty and a goal not given that seemed to cross the line!! Great win and sets up a cracking game against ucc on sunday. bandon and fermoy and tramore/castleview also playing. Great day of first division football ahead!
I presume by your militant response Shinguard that your a blazer(MSl representative)or you suffer from severe tunnel vision your not looking at the overall picture here the rules were put in place to stop teams fielding senior players Midleton went the opposite and fielded players who werent getting regular football week in week out ie the subs and fielded a few 17 year olds to blood them for next season now if that comes under the guise of cheating that is just sad and common sense should prevail.In essence there being punished for fielding a weakened side yes there are rules but rules are usually broken to benefit a team not to weaken it.Quote:
