Lads I was asked question last night and I wasn’t 100% certain once in me life am I right in saying you can only sign 3 players from the one club
From what I have read in the rules, you can if the club your signing them from agrees to it.
I thought you can sign 3 no bothers
Are the AUL just completely abandoning social media? Not a peep 6 days out from start of season.
There is clear frustration from every club about the lack of communication or social media presence within the league. I wonder if there is something we could all do to try and get some youth and interest on the committee. There must be something all the AUL clubs could band together and do. There isn't a club out there that is going to say "no they are doing a great job"
Totally agree with you there Ger I said same thing last year bring people on to committee to do jobs that committee or not doing now I repeat what I said last week we probably get fixtures Thursday few Tue teams be only getting few days notice when their starting
“Please be aware that if a player is leaving one club for another club, you must have permission from the previous Club before you register the player for your Club.
Also you can only register 3 players from one Club.”
That came in an email from the AUL earlier this summer
If that’s the case, I’m sure ye are correct. How did Castleview register all the players that came from Grattan last season and vice versa this season?
The rule is while the current season is in progress. The rule is also to prevent poaching by bigger teams when there are overlapping leagues. When a current season ends a player is free to register with any club they like. This is also easier now with self registration.
From FAI FAQ:
On FAl Connect, is a player free to sign for another club at the end of each season?
The club will need to change the player to status
TERMINATED if they are not staying with the club.
A club needs to confirm any player is staying when the CURRENT SEASON ENDS and the New Roster is posted and a NEW SEASON BEGINS.
In between this there is no current season and any player can sign with who they wish.
It is amazing how plain English is lost on the AUL and can’t even interpret the rule as stated.
Players on Amateur forms from the same club during the latter club's current season except with the consent of the Executive Committee of the club as confirmed in writing by the Secretary of the club from which the Players are being signed.
Latter clubs current season.
Club A signing a player from the latter club - Club B during its CURRENT IN PROGRESS season.
Inch is an example. All the players transferred from Youghal United in the MSL to the Cork AUL as Inch.
Grattan United end of season 23/24 the FAI and AUL approved approximately 16+ players from Grattan to Castleview.
Precedent is set and the rule is clear. If it goes all the way up it will delay the league and be interpreted correctly as this only applies during the latter clubs CURRENT season.
English is easy lads come on 😂
On this season based on the rules set down the league it appears that Grattan B are in breach of these rules especially when both clubs are in the same division
You would think the league would act on it especially having sent an email stating you can only sign 3 players from one club.
With regards to last season maybe Castleview B were able to work around it as Grattan B weren’t registered last season.
It will be hard for anyone to join Aul cause you won’t have a opinion you can’t do anything without Martin giving go ahead I always thought will Aul your giving a title and that’s your job but looking at last few seasons everything has to go through Conlon before they do anything
Are castle view team still there that was the gratton team if it is how does that work ?
Your not free if your moving to other club you need transfer and I’m sure as Ger said earlier you can only sign 3 players from one club that’s what Aul sent out so this could get sticky be crazy few days before season starts
This is honestly shambolic from the league, a week out and nobody has a clue what’s happening
Desmond 100% with Ringmahon its on the connect, Ian O' Callaghan gone to Marys also on the connect and Stephen Mc Carthy gone to the cow also from the Hill side of things.
