hopefully it will be sorted sooner rather than later. I said it at start of whole shambles,no one likes to c refs abused/assaulted but punishment was giving by the league so accept it and move on..if league give in ,will every punishment be questioned by a ref and go start crying to there 3/4 man click at the top..grow a pair and move on please for the sake of every club/player in league..according to one of the mature referees, a few refs had issues with that particular team and management in abbey and this maybe reason for dragging it out.. this meeting will be interesting next wk, heard dey cud not get a venue so noting to do with champs league...
Shearer, have you been to any St Itas game this year? Are they any good?
There is no way Abbey will be thrown out. I feel sorry for Ballingarry youths in all of this, they were beaten in one cup final and are hoping to make amends by getting to another. They've been waiting far too long to play this game. And people wonderwhy team s are struggling for numbers at junior level when this nonsense goes on. I think abbey should be heavily fined, and thrown out of the youths cup as an example.
Should be a cracker tonight.
Is there a possibility Abbeyfeale could withdraw from the Desmond league and join the Kerry league. Castleisland, Tralee and Listowel are all on there doorstep so traveling wouldn’t be much of an issue
Not the worst idea in the world . The Kerry league top division is a good league . Standard in that division would be higher with 7/8 decent teams .
Last night a youthful broadford were impressive in their 3-1 cup semi win over rathkeale and district FC .take a good team to beat them if they repeat that .
Abbeyman why the dig at Rathkeale? Have ye not learned a lesson with giving digs back there??
Some result for Broadford, they'll fancy their chances against whoever they play.
Rathkeale and District FC, quality...
In all fairness, you wouldn't exactly need to go through the Broadford team with a fine tooth comb to find a share of outsiders.
I wasn't at it but if I had to guess I'd say at least half of the players used last night would have played most if not all of their underage football and probably a lot of junior at other clubs before they ever played for Broadford.
Not that I care, but perspective is important
As I specified, I was guessing about 50%, the figures you quoted add up to 37.5%, which I'd say would be fairly comparable with Rathkeale.
Go ahead and sue me for the 12.5% if you like.
Even though one of the youths that more than likely played last night is only there with 18 months but whatever, as I said it makes no odds to me.
My original point was that I'd say Rathkeale haven't many more outsiders playing for them than would be the norm for any of the teams competing for trophies usually.
Any update on the meeting last night ? Surely Abbey games go ahead this weekend?
The refs are shambolic at this stage, they had a lot of support at the start and rightly so after what happened, however their actions have now interfered with a lot of clubs and players from outside of Abbeyfeale, and anyone that I have talked to in the past number of weeks feels that the season should now be halted, and the referees given their own marching orders for the disruption and inconvenience that they have caused. An individual admitted to both offences, are the referees that stupid that they believe that people admit to criminal offences for the sake of it. It’s ironic that they can be so sure that there is a 2nd player but never actually got a look at the individual. They are the only ones paid, if you get paid for something then you have a job to do, the job is not been done so get rid
