That’s not the same grattan team that were doing well start of the season either.Originally Posted by Hacker
To be honest there is Pro/Cons to this I personally don't see any issue with games being requested by teams to be moved to different days if that means the games are being played at this rate. Obviously teams want their best team available. If the opposition team rejects which is fair enough then the games should go ahead as planned on the fixed date. Hopefully the weather clears up over the next few weeks when midweek games kick in and this won't be happening as teams will not have a reason to be cancelling games.

It’s hilarious how the norries presume that every country team is made up of GAA players. GAA will make very little or no difference to the teams you mentioned.Bweeng, Los Zarcos an Bosco's will all be hit hard with the Gaa an midweek games . I wouldnt worry about the Norries ,,,,,they might get a few additions themselves
On the favouritisim thing.......
There's a Aul rule book there with loads of rules in it. It was written once by those who cared, an respected by those who played. It meant something.
Read it one way , makes perfect sence.
Turn the book 90 degrees an it looks a different set of rules , an those in this league who are good at the dark arts turn the book as they see fit.
The Aul merely apply the rules , depending on how the book is turned.
Every club has turned it in their favour at times .
Watergrasshill have a very good 19s side as well so they should have had all of them registered and able to use at any point t during the season.
I heard there was a bit of commotion down in banteer Saturday evening between Donaghmore fc and Castleview fc where a Castleview player with his top off was running after a Donaghmore player around the pitch surley chips and beans will elaborate on this disgraceful carry on
Laughable. Two teams on 4 games,1 team tryna get it played and the other no interest cause it clashed with hurling.
If they hadn't played each other yet surely they could have just done it in pophams if it was playable and done the reverse fixture in watergrasshill later!
Granted weather has been brutal but no good reason that game should not have gone ahead.
There was underage games on watergrasshill pitch Saturday so how the phone call made Friday to call it off.
Between that and the richmond/knocka grass cutting scenario another classic day for the AUL Hall of shame but no doubt the blazers will be out for the end of season p**s up and photos.
Hopefully with the bright nights coming we can get back to football and some good league run ins...division 2 in particular wide open.
I presume about 2/3 weeks for the night games?

The rules are the rules unfortunately it might annoy lads.
The rule book allows this to happen there is no rule making Watergrasshill go to Shandon.
The AUL will probably have asked them to go to Shandon but Watergrasshill are well entitled to say no.
It might leave a sour taste but no one doing anything against the rule book.
Shandon were asked to move the game to the Saturday and said no , play the game on the day it was fixtured for the Sunday
Fixture was put out a week before they rang to try change it to help out Watergrashill..a joke helping out certain teams..didn’t every club get a email saying no games to be called off unless ref calls it
Aul night tonight in the Kiln. Few pints with the lads. I'll be in attendance myself, anybody else from this forum going? I presume Ballwasthere will be up the Fob with the Village lads for Monday club .
I heard the view had 4/5 starters playing and should have won by 6/7 they just couldnt score. Played most of second half with 10 when it was 1-1 thet went 2-1 up and conceded with a minute to go. no doubt the strongest team wil play Saturday to get it over the line and start their celebrations.
I heard that too. his season is over and he will be lucky to escape a ban for the start of next season. Although i did hear it was a very soft red. both players had a kick out at eachother and one got sent off.
Rules are rules but didn’t every club get a email stating no games can be called off unless pitch is unplayable or ref calls it
Any drama in the Kiln last night I wonder? Grattan and the two teams they have recent history with.. great planning ??
Jesus Christ boy. It’s not 3 cartels they had in there. Hope nobody got shot in retaliation for handbags at a junior ball game that happened in the past.
Glenthorn deducted 3 points ,,,,,,,that's the end of that.
2 horse race to stay up......Corkbeg and City Wanderers.
Springfield should be OK long as they win at home.
Village get a draw or win against Coachford an they still must be considered contenters.
UCC , the jury is out on them.
Won games we knew they win,,,,,,,were beaten hands down by Grattan. Very iffy in the cups.
Coachford,,,,,,won't stop in fairness. League or Cup
Grattan are a different beast this season. Tis all on the table.
Be interesting to see how the cards fall.
A tight call between city wanderers and Corkbeg to finish 3rd from bottom but even after that they must face the winners of the Premier A playoff to stay up
The league forgot that a couple of years ago and in the end the teams told the league they couldn't be bothered. I can see it not happening again.
Maybe your post will remind them!
And just like that the mid week ball begins. Going to be an interesting few weeks.
A lads the weather is shocking few days away in Malaga I had couldn’t post wife said no phones or talking rubbish so I’m back now take it I didn’t miss much grattan game off tomorrow
