Rock can not be aloud to pick and chose which fixture to play and if 11 players can be found they must play the First team game. The league must act as all Rock seem to be doing this year is causing 1 problem after another. Did they not give a couple of walk-overs last year?
They gave a few walk overs last season alright. I heard it through the grapevine that there was some G.A.A. match on that players were involved in?? May be true or not i dont know. Youd wonder what excuse they gave the T.S.D.L. though? Only certain teams will get away with this kind of carry-on!
6 Leagues in a row...can we have another F.A.I. now please?
But what if playing for the A team on Sunday would of made a few of them ineligible to play for the B team for the rest of the season? Would hardly of been fair on the B squad
Wouldn't be fair at all, however it's also not fair to the other team who were without a game at the weekend because Rovers didn't fulfill the fixture.
still no excuse. They have only played 6 premier games so far and if some B players have already played in 4 of those games then they have a real problem!
So the B team would have to call off their match instead more than likely, not very fair on them then
If they can't field a team they shouldn't have a b team
I have to agree with that. If a club can only field 1 team, then it must field a team in the higest division possible.
What is the story with the points in the case of a walkover. It would be unfair on clubs who have already played Rock Rovers and dropped points to them, to see Clonmel Town get three points simply because Rock chose not to play this game, while they did play others.
Rumours around the town that the Rock premier team is being pulled out,dont know if its true or not yet though, if it is how would the players be fixed as regards signing for other teams or dropping back to play for their 4th division team??
the deadline for transfers for most leagues is 1st of october not sure if tsdl have this deadline but almost certain its the case in limerick , cork, dublin leagues etc. think its a bit hasty if rock pull themselves out though. i did notice in gaa reports in nationalist that a lot of rock players were playing hurling with carrick davins and swans so if these lads aint giving soccer any commitment it is very frustrating for the club especially with the way the tsdl premier division is run with half the league campaign over by 1st of october. but rocks results have been good this season and even if they gave another 2 walkovers ( 3 i guess being maximum before expullsion) if they have to. they would prob still stay up as id fancy them ahead off oldbridge and borris to stay up. overall for the club they would be better off getting rid of b team keep 1st team going for this season and even if they are relegated could rebuild again in division 1 next year as they done a few seasons ago. with the way alot of posters on this site talk about rock i dont think many would shed a tear if rovers went out of league but i for one would not like to see them go out like this
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
The TSDL deadline is September 30th
I would not like to see Rock Rovers go from the league either Balls.. no more than I would like to see any team go, but there has to be a level of consistency and fairness in how they deal with the league and other teams
I will make no bones about it, but I would be annoyed if Clonmel Town got three points for a walkover, while my club went and fulfilled a fixture and only have one point to show for it.
That does sound completely selfish, but it is the nature of the beast, and them fulfilling a B team fixture on the same weekend, makes it worse to be honest
In fairness to the Rock,they did ring Tommy Lewis on the wednesday before the Town game.They knew they would be low on numbers with all the GAA games on that same weekend but held out until the Sunday in the hope that some of the GAA players would have a change of Heart.
Tommy Lewis didnt want to know about it and would not postpone fixture.
Hence Town get the points the Rock a hefty fine and there name tarnished(especially on here)for the rest of the season.
They are not folding.They will fulfill there Munster Junior Cup fixture this weekend with mainly B team players.Both Carrick Swan and Davins have GAA fixtures again this Sunday so numbers will be low again.Its very frustrating for the men in charge.Once GAA is finished the Rock will be fine.
I know GAA is not an excuse but its hard to get players that play only one code in a an average size town like Carrick.
Theres 3 GAA teams and 2 Soccer Clubs both with multiple Adult teams
Rant over.
true I suppose

a lot of teams have gaelic players in their teams and still turn out teams on a sunday, bansha are still envolved in both hurling and football ( playing carrick davins on sunday )and yet can turn up with a team and fulfill their fixture
