Hubba, 2 get promoted from Premier A, nobody knows what will happen if clubs go to MSL, Premier A will go right to the wire, with Pearse, Castleview and Springfield all in the running to still win the league, Pearse must still play both of these teams yet, so even though they look like they have it wrapped up there is still a lot of twists left in this league yet.

I am hoping to make it to Coachford ok as they wont give up without a fight and its not over til the final whistle, and the Park V Pearce game is in Mitchelstown as far as I know should be two good games. Good luck to all and here's to good sporting games

**Dixie's Cousin** · 14/04/2012, 8:54 PM

Who were Pearse playing when they had illegal players?

**Horse24** · 14/04/2012, 9:19 PM

Us and Park twice were their last 3. We didnt spot anything or even look for it. Maybe its something to do with cup-tied or 14 days from 31st March? Should/will we get points even though it wasnt us who caught them if it is proven to be true? I doubt it was intentional even if it is true.

**Dixie's Cousin** · 14/04/2012, 9:23 PM

Hubba hearing porkies?

**The Boar** · 15/04/2012, 11:13 AM

Not fair to make statements about clubs playing illegal players on here, thats a matter for the team playing them at the time. It's up to them to make an issue of it not for others to make assumptions.

**Radiostar** · 15/04/2012, 11:17 AM

Horse, Kanturk played an illegal player against us at the start of the season, they lost the 3points but we were not awarded the game as we were told we did not put in the objection. Cant understand the logic behind that decision, if its an illegal player it should be the same punishment no matter who puts in complaint. Just another make it up as we go along rule i suppose from the Aul.

not possible that ye didnt get the points surely. is it? never heard of that before. see lots of examples at all levels of teams being docked points for irregularitys with money etc (rangers.) but would have thought that if a team drops points to a team who have played an illegal player then they would get the 3. obviously if the team with illegal player had been beaten the opponents would not receive another 3 points but the offending team could still be deducted 3 more as punishment. not feasible in current climate to impose fines so taking points would be a good detterant.

Maybe they should be named and shamed...i was watching match few months ago and I knew two lads who were playing that shouldnt of been...they play with the first team and were then playing with second team under a differnt name...to make things worse one of them got an equaliser with the last kick of the game...unfair to teams who are honest

**the sub** · 15/04/2012, 3:55 PM

I spoke too a few ex cobh player when I read the thread comments.. They said they are playing with the same squad for the last two years and they have not played illegal players.. Maybe the person who made those comments maybe part one of the other teams in the running. Went to the part v Pearce yesterday strong team lost in penos what I saw they have a nice team who play good football on the ground. Park scored from a stoke City type throw ball into the box with 3 min to go in extra time

**Radiostar** · 15/04/2012, 5:12 PM

Lawman, dont get me wrong we lost on the day to Kanturk so we didnt deserve the points and we didnt make an issue of not getting the points when we heard about it. Its just in all my time involved in Aul football, ive seen plenty of times where if there was an illegal player playing the other team were automatically awarded a 3 nil win. I would just like to see consistency and there should be one punishment for breaking the same rule whether we objected or whether the aul found out by spotchecking matchcards. Im only speaking from experience too, where at my former club we were at the end of those punishments before.

**Chiefscout** · 16/04/2012, 8:51 AM

Was at coachford match weekend and have to say the referee was an absolute disgrace

**Chiefscout** · 16/04/2012, 9:58 AM

Tully was trying to ref it.was the worst display I've ever seen

I thought they lost the points for somebody illegal in FAI cup? I maybe wrong. If a team loses 3 points for a game, then other team should get them. The Committee is there to make sure everything runs fairly and smoothly - so if they catch someone then the other team should get the points.

As expected, Pearse did not play anybody illegal and dont even know where the rumour started. They just dont seem that kinda club/team.

What about this club who have been caught 3 or 4 seasons in the last 6/7? Should the punishment be the same each time or should it get bigger each time? It is in the ethos of the club, and the only times they arent caught is when the other team wins as was in our case. They played an illegal player against us with 2 legal guys on the bench?

They got caught in a cup match they won earlier this season, and as the aggrieved team were walking out of the AUL meeting, the cheating side passed a comment - "Bad form for reporting us" - I mean in fairness!!!

The other side of this coin is are we punishing the volunteer who is scrapping a team together.

**Innishvilla** · 16/04/2012, 2:04 PM

Just a short note to wish Innishvilla all the best in their top of the table clash with Douglas Hall in 1A on Thursday.

Should be a cracker - Innishvilla have been playing catch-up since they lost their 2nd league match of the season, but have gone unbeaten since. Douglas Hall are still unbeaten and are 3 points clear at the moment.

The two Division 1's seem to have 3 exceptional teams in them, Glen Celtic, Douglas Hall and Innishvilla have between them from 41 games lost 2 games total, drawn 5, scored 150 conceeded 24...
