Corinthians looked very strong in their 2 nil win in Kinsale - they should be in the shake up for the 1st div title.Quote:

Some disagreement between the changing of referees from MSL to AUL is what is being passed around the rumour millQuote:

The Cork Branch of The Irish Soccer Referee's Society have withdrawn from all Local Leagues in Cork with effect from Thursday August 20th.
No local football (Competitive or Challenge Games) will be staffed by ISRS Cork Members until further notice.
The Committee, ISRS Cork.
Tuesday August 18th 2009.
I heard its to do with some disagreement between AUL and Aidan O Regan. So no one to Ref friendly games either?? This is a great start to the season. The season is long enough without this disruption.Quote:

Aidan got grief from the AUL and the whole situation was never resolved. 8 years later and here we are!! Typical AUL - lets hope the clubs give the refs their backing this time around. From what i hear the MFA are backing the AUL.Quote:

Its an amateur game, lets just get on with if FFS:mad::mad:
Strike seems to be a nuclear option. Have there been discussions during the summer. This just doesn't look like an issue which has arisen in the last few days. There was an FAI representative in Cork the other night, quoted in yesterday's Echo, but no meeting seems to have taken place.
Someone, somewhere must be able to bang some heads together, get this resolved quickly. What a start to the season, matches cancelled and ultimately players and clubs suffering. Lord knows, it is difficult enough to keep everything going without further complications. All this will end up doing is driving more players off to night leagues......
According to the echo there seems to be no end in the strike and the games at the weekend are in jeporady. The proposal was not accepted so the strike continues.

The referees website now shows fixtures for this weekend rather than the strike notice that has been there all along.. Strike over and games back on id imagine....:):):)

Taken from the Referees Website today:
'The CORK BRANCH of the I.S.R.S met on Monday 24th August. At this meeting the Branch committee of the Cork Referees received the full backing from the 90 strong memberships for the stance that was taken to withdraw services. The Cork Branch of the I.S.R.S. have decided to enter into the Dispute Resolution Procedure and have:
Agreed to provide refereeing services with immediate effect in all Leagues.
The Cork Branch have been working tiredly behind the scenes to resolve the current depute and remain positive that a resolution will be worked out between both parties
The Secretary and Chairman of our Branch have been in Talks with Mr Gerry Mac Dermot of the FAI over the course of the day and informed him of our decision and he is aware as per the agreement we are available to referee as from 2pm today.'

From what I understand the pitch has already been revamped during the Summer as part of a 4 point plan. Part 2 commences next Monday when work on new "state of the art" dressing rooms starts. This construction will take 6 months to complete and Everton Park will reopen in February. While work is in progress all Everton's home matches will be played in CIT.Quote:
