Jesus Southern Kid that's a bit strong saying you know 100% that the truth was not told in another incident,but if you are 100% sure of it then you should probably provide the evidence to the league and get the record corrected. I remember years ago the Refs threw a fella out because he told lies so I'm sure they would treat any evidence you have very seriously. i'd be just a bit worried that there seems to be loads of info out and about saying that there has been suspensions and fines but still the refs won't go to Abbeyfeale without linesmen, surely if they knew that someone was suspended they would not be staying away, or do you have inside info that the refs have not been told about yet. (just sayin)

No inside info but they have no game this wknd with 8 teams put playing so u would presume it's down to refs, could be totally wrong and may have free wknd requested. As I said earlier for everyone involved I hope it's sorted soon as we had good year with weather and don't want this to drag on whole league or cup competitions..or else league just remove them from competition and let everyone else move on.. as for the other incident, I'm gone from that club as is most other lads involved at that time...

Feenagh's walkover this morning means they're relegated.

Must have been a cracker in glin. Glin beating Broadford 5-4 in the league cup

**southern kid** · 07/04/2019, 6:59 PM

Great result for glin..keeps their season alive, sounds like a cracker..another 3 points for ratkeale to stretch their lead at the top.. can't see them relinquishing that now..interesting week ahead for league committee to get league back on track with all fixtures. Well done to ak on winning the first junior trophy of season last nite..

Any dates for cup draws?

**Griffo** · 09/04/2019, 4:47 AM

Any idea when Friday night games will be introduced?
There is a stretch there now, would be great to get additional games in soon to wrap things up in May.

Cracker of a game !!!! Lots of mistakes from both teams led to a great spectacle. People on about the incident regarding ref in abbeyfeale a few weeks back should have seen the standard of refereeing in this game... atrocious to say the least !!!! A player will get seriously hurt with this man in charge some day.... I know they have an awful job to do & we wouldn't be able to play or watch without them but mother of god !!!! Has John O'Hara watched this guy ??

Who was the ref? Not saying that excuses the behavior. Being angry with a referee and confronting them is a normal reaction but being spat at and threatened is a different level.

Lads on the Abbeyfeale incident, there youths are scheduled at home Saturday with only 1 ref so the problem maybe solved. Either way there’s more than 2 sides to the story which I’ve heard multiple times with different things getting added. On the flip side, it doesn’t look good on the league with 2/3 games abandoned due to incidents with refs this season alone does it?

**Desmond18** · 09/04/2019, 8:14 PM

P O’Brien...it was so bad at one stage both teams were laughing at decisions...again I hate giving out about referees as it’s a thankless job but he’s insanely bad

**southern kid** · 09/04/2019, 9:18 PM

Lads I agree refs are poor but there is 2 or 3 decent ones, I don't agree with naming them on here though, iv had A few things to say about refs recently but think it's a bit unfair to put there names up..

**fanaticfan** · 10/04/2019, 11:14 PM

Friday 19th April is the first evening game

**Desmond18** · 11/04/2019, 12:36 PM

Normally wouldn't but it was so bad like probably the worst i ever saw !!!!

**Shearer** · 11/04/2019, 2:34 PM

Kildimo deducted three points from that game against Granagh a while back. Didn't they get the points originally i.e. the game has been deemed void?

No sure Granagh won the game. Surely if Kildimo were docked points for being the cause of game abandonment why didn’t it happen to the other teams as well?

**westernflow** · 12/04/2019, 1:32 PM

Where did you see that they were deducted the points? AK and Granagh have been given the wins for two abandoned games this season. Abbey youths was a cup game so I'm not sure what non-financial penalty they could be given.

I hear all Abbey games pulled again this weekend.heard it from a referee..anyone else hear this? Thought it was sorted by league wit suspensions and fines?? If its true, will league ever be finished if Abbey are not thrown out.???
