no it was simply because of the county players not being made available

What time is mass on Wed eve ? Count (Meath) - Posts: 93 - 09/05/2017 09:44:37 1985380 Link 0 |
From my understanding Queeney and Downey were allowed play with Na Fianna and Simonstowns 2 County men weren't as they were playing Sunday. I also heard that Simonstown have a lot of injuries and that is why they didn't want to play it. Do they not have any strength and dept?

I'd like to see some actual confirmation rather than just a post on a message board. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 09/05/2017 10:17:06 1985392 Link 10 |
It's only a few short weeks ago Simonstown were complaining that as county champions they were under-represented on the panel (none on the team sheet for the Kildare game), now they've got a few on it they expect the rest of the county to fit round them?

The likes of dunboyne and ratoath are missing 5 or 6 lads every game and they just get on with it. Surely a game minus two county players is better championship preparation than no game at all TakeYourPoints6 (Meath) - Posts: 230 - 09/05/2017 10:27:46 1985397 Link 1 |
I know that in Donegal, certain rounds of the league are designated as "starred matches" where teams with similar numbers of county players are fixed to play each other in those rounds (ie - teams with 3 county players play each other that weekend while teams with none play each other where possible). nmsmithy96 (Meath) - Posts: 108 - 09/05/2017 10:46:18 1985409 Link 0 |
I think everyone is so bogged down in their own club's situation that they are missing the point entirely here. It's not about what club is missing more players or who has more players on the panel. It's about clubs (and this has been going on for years) being made to bow to the wishes of the senior county manager. This is an issue all over the country and maybe it's about time someone stood up and said they've had enough. I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now to be honest.

Also apparently in relation to O'Sullivan with Moynalvey, McEntee wanted him to get more game time and asked Fay to play him for a half. meathguy123 (Meath) - Posts: 16 - 09/05/2017 11:38:08 1985423 Link 0 |

I would be disgusted in either of my clubs doing anything similar. And I would hope they would be severely punished. Simonstown have acted stupidly and should be sanctioned appropriately. If this isvwhat has happened.

yes i think this is what simonstown were protesting about mostly. think its more why are they allowed have their county boys and we cant have ours. im sure they have lots of lads willing to step up. i think its more the principle of the matter than anything else

Why would you be disgusted. Is the integrity of club football not worth taking a stand on. Why should some clubs have county players available to them and others not.

Lads think about it logically!! There has been 2 challenge games for the county in the last week or so, if the lads are selected for the challenge game then obviously they wont be release for the club games, it wouldnt happen anywhere. We only had 2 of 7 footballers and neither of the hurlers as all the lads were involved in matches for the county either this weekend or last weekend. Tobin was hardly to be expected to play a full league game and then a full county game the next day!!! Lads selected against Cavan for the most part didnt play the week before barring a few (to the best of my knowledge) who are vying for the few spots on the Meath team that aren't yet nailed down!! ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 557 - 09/05/2017 15:28:14 1985493 Link 0 |
I'll think you'll find no Navan team played Saturday night.....

The only game FIXED for Saturday night that didn't go ahead. Look, if you really think they didn't field because of a mass then so be it.

A bit of coincidence that the other 2 Navan teams matches weren't FIXED for Saturday night.....
