one of the best facilites in the league. great dressing rooms and pitch and great astro turf as well
Only heard today about abbeys objection against ratkeale,can some one just clarify if abbeyfeale objected over loosing to a very much depleted ratkeale team who played a b player or 2,not a lge of ireland player but a b player,if true its very petty and i kno rules are rules but if ur beat on pitch dat shud be it especially in the case of a B player playing. one time the A team always had choice of club players once they were not cup tied and former chairman said it was a grey area a number of seasons by the club i was involved with. i heard ratkeale were going to take this one all the way due to some email that was sent after cup had started stating rule..
and i heard today that abbeyfeale utd won the appeal
I think we'll all agree that if Abbey won there'd have been nothing heard about this rule!
As I understand it the issue is B players filling in
As I've said above already its ludicris that a club cannot pick from their full pool of players to fulfill a cup tie when the player is not cup tied
I hadn't heard fanatic that Abbey won the objection - shur if Rathkeale appeal as expected the Desmond Cup will be set back weeks!
@Second - Haha, big bucks, is that where the dressing room fund went to!? I dunno if you could draw any conclusion on how/why they fell away so badly - I doubt they know themselves
well the person who told was only telling bull then i guess.
good semi final coming up so between rathkeale and ballingarry
rathkeale thrown out of the desmond cup last night at the league meeting
can we take that as 100% fact so fanatic
you sure can answers.. think rathkeale are appealing it.. 80% fact haha
well the rules about playing a b player in the cup are there so can't see rathkeale been left back in but have to say i think abbey should have sucked it up and taken the loss.replacing an A player with a B player doesn't make your team stronger so abbey in my opinion were beaten fair and square.even if they win the cup now i think it won't be the same.the gloss would be taken off it a little.
I don't know will they though, they did break the rules like... as stupid a rule as it may seem id say the league had no choice!!
With regards to going to the Munster Council that will only draw out the season longer and may cost Rathkeale a few quid in the process!
both teams abbey and rathkeale thrown out. and i dont think rathkeale broke the rules as the rule doesnt exist.17 teams in all leagues didnt get any notice about some rule change reguarding b players not being allowed plays for a teams in cup competions. abbey lost the match, and from what i heard today desmond league doesnt have a leg to stand on. rathkeale to win the appeal i think. i feel sorry for newcastle west now having to wait so long for the final to come around
You're right on the cost - to appeal a red card/suspension i'm reliably informed its €250 a pop
It'd be worth the cost to hear an official high level line on whether a club registered player that isnt cup tied should be allowed to play - this isnt the league cup - squad registration shouldn't come into it for me, only whether you've played in the cup previously with another team be it a B team or otherwise
