Good shout .. Making players play one code only or banning players who play GAA would be madness . Would there be ten teams left in the desmond league ? Abbey, Ncw , Ncw rovers , rathkeale , glin , broad ford would field one team , kilcornan , ballyhahill , Athea , Askeaton might get a team out but after that wouldn't be too many other teams
Who said anything about banning players, the only code that ever did that was the Ga and there are plenty of them still around that would like to see another ban. So for the hell of it Abbeyman what is you answer to the problem? Glin Rovers are now in trouble this weekend and guess why?
Good shout you are the one putting the gun to fellows heads making them choose codes as you call it .
By and large most clubs can manage away as far as I know glin & kildimo are the only teams with teams left playing football , best of luck to them , I wouldn't mind if abbey had the same problem !
Ok I have enough of this. Anyone out there interested in International football? Anyone going to Parkhead on Nov 14th?
What about the genuine SOCCER players in kildimo who had no game last sunday.
I heard the rockhill rovers and abbey game was abandoned tonight, anyone kno wat happened??
Ballingarry 2:1 Shannonside ! Any other results?
I heard rockhill vs abbey b was called off because the referee got injured with half an Hour to go.
Some results today
Ballingarry 2-1 Shannonside
Newcastle 1-5 Abbeyfeale
Rathkeale 4-3 Carrig

Lads i dont know what all the fuss is about the soccer and the gaa season interlapping it has always been the same, i remember playing a west senior football final in December back in 85 or 86 so grow up and get on with it and applaud the players of both codes who keep the flags flying at both ends of the soccer and gaa seasons.
Great win for Broadford away to Killarney Celtic in FAI Junior.
The fixtures this week are all involving teams in the top 6, exciting weekend ahead
I see that there was no referee available for Kildimo-v-Glin on Sunday! :interesting:
Very Interesting that the referee assigned to the game had booked the week end off to celebrate his 40th wedding anniversary (Not something that you would forget to book a week end off for). Yet this same referee is then conveniently assigned to the one game that involves a team looking for their game to be cancelled as they have a GAA game on the same day and will not have a team. What are the chances eh?
What makes this story more intriguing is that Kildimo found themselves in the exact same situation only last week end, when they had a GAA game that clashed with their soccer match. But they were not allowed to get the game called-off, forcing them into the embarrassing situation of having to give a walk over and pay a hefty fine. And now to top it off the exact same fixture (Kildimo vs Glin) is fixed for next week-end when Kildimo will be out in the Munster football championship and most likely missing half a team. And the same ref is assigned, so lets hope for Kildimo's sake that it's his birthday or something this week-end!!
You wouldn't have to be the greatest conspiracy theorist in the world to work out what happened last week. The Desmond league following in the footsteps of FIFA.....although less money was probably involved and more likely a few pints were paid for!!!
I assume Paudie Manning was the ref in question and he couldn't do it cause he got injured at the Abbey B/Rockhill game the night before ?
Could be the case Johnnie all I saw was the note on fixture on the website, That would be some serious piece of luck for Glin although they are out again on the weekend of the 23rd so will prob be in a similar situation again
How many more fixtures are scheduled before the Christmas break does anyone know?
going by last year langerdan007 the fixture went up2 the week before christmas.... if weather permits i dont see any reason why this wouldnt happen again....
If we get lucky with weather that'd be about 6 games - that'd be some dent in the league for that time of year - we'll have half the league campaign finished this Sunday
Lot of rain of late though - I thought myself Sunday that it was the first game where you could say it was really soft
I heard It was colm dalton that got injured doing the Abbey B vs Rockhill game
