1. Kilmallock's pitch was unplayable, and the game was quite rightly called off
2. A suggestion was made that the game be played in the Boro. This is not an official obligation and Kilmallock are well within their rights to refuse to travel. I'd say deep down that the Boro were happy to avoid a potentially sticky tie, and now get ome advantage.

This tie should now be settled in the Boro, and not in front of some committee. Lets get to the football lads

It is an FAI Junior Cup rule. I cannot find it on the net but have it the rule book from 2008/2009. I'll PM you Denis Cruise email address if you like, he's the FAI Cup secretary and his ducks will be in a row!

Then the chaos of the ldmc got involved and word seems to be that boro were handed a walk over......

Maybe it is going to be postponed and played at pearce stadium in the coming weeks, which i hope hapens for the sense of junior football

lads its easy to end all this.as far as im concerned neither team are wrong.so if the boro pick up the phone and tell mike reagan the fixture secretary that the match can go ahead sunday morning in the boro that should solve it.

Hopefully common sense will prevail here

according to a senior ldmc committee member last night "they're gone"
his words not mine

would that surprise you from them muppets. maybe you have to be a certain muppet and once you get that far you get a job with the fai.....

Surely they would have to have a meeting and get all the facts first and make a judgement then. But no ,there you have it a 'senior ldmc committe member' shouting his mouth off, what power does to some people.....

but will it ever change, maybe when people stop playing real football and take up virtual football....

surely as an FAI competition " FAI" would make that decision and inform clubs .. don't think it is right that a senior ldmc member can be telling people " they're gone" before clubs even know..

they should be gone. the way i heard it was the ref told the players before they left killmalock the match was refixed to the boro.killmalock wanted to watch a hurling match that day so any team looking to put another sport first should not be in the big comps

leather is correct carews pitch was lined and ready in case of boro pitch had been unplayable boro v carew had to be played that morning but the diff... is both clubs are only a stone throw away from each other. in regards kilmallock havin been told to travel into the boro at 12 o clock is a bit harsh it will be interesting to see how this one pans out. IMO the fair thing is to play it in the boro just my opinion

Seems like a serious case of wires being crossed and the LDMC jumping to a decision before knowing all the facts. If both teams agree to it the game should be played Sunday morning. Get it over and done with an start the new year fresh without dragging this any further than it has to.

It's the FAI's decision

Let's be honest, the same goes for the FAI as the LDMC.

are you sure? do you realise that would be taking the power away from the LDMC or FAI.....

what ever are the rules is what will decide this. I don't expect there to be a clause of 'same day transfer' in the FAI junior cup . It normally happens the following week.
I expect a replay but you never never know what will come of this.

Where did you get your fact..

**leather** · 22/12/2009, 11:44 AM

as i stated earlier, a few years ago boro and another team agreed not to play on a certain date at the request of the other team. ldmc stated that they decide the fixture not the teams...the other team were dismissed from the competition. we did not want to progress under those circumstances but we did not have any control over the decisions of the people who run football.
