Replying To botheyesclosed:  "I would hope all clubs have integrity when it comes to rules. If your in the right, never back down. If you are not sure, make sure to check it thoroughly, and only fight if you are right. If not, look at yourself and do the right thing. If this is not the case, the wrong people are in control of the club. A conflict of interest, even if only in appearance, is still a conflict of interest. That member should excuse themself until resolved. This is why there is no trust from the public or the clubs in the CB. They should conduct business in a transparent manner, not underhanded. Hopefully the full truth emerges if anyone is to come away with credit, and not just an agreement that suits both sides."

Replying To keeper7:  "I was right. Slashers made hard work of beating Fr. Manning Gaels, apparently."

Replying To Spinx:  "Rathcline and Granard were relegated last year but get to stay up. There was no relegation last year even though there was meant to be. And now no relegation this year."

Replying To arcadia:  "Killoe has the two confirmed positive cases, but there must be other clubs with Covid tests going on based on the list of matches cancelled, or is there a link between the two players and lads in those other clubs? Cancelled games due to Covid Intermediate Final - Ardagh Moydow v Killashee ACFL Division 1 - Colmcille v Granard Senior Championship SF - Slashers v Mullinalaghta Senior Championship SF - Killoe v Mostrim Junior Championship QF - Longford Slashers v Killoe"

Replying To FOX40WHISTLER:  "Reality Cheque Fine Imposed Cover under Rule 7.7 (c) (c) In the event of failure to pay a Fine within such period as may be stipulated by the Council or Committee-in-Charge (either at the time of imposition of the Fine or afterwards), the Unit concerned and/or its Officers shall be liable to such sanctions as the Council or Committee-in-Charge shall deem appropriate. Penalty Imposed under Rule 6.24 (c) A Club/Unit shall be compelled to pay any Fine imposed for loss of revenue by the Committee in-Charge and all vouched reasonable expenses incurred, and failure to do so shall involve a Suspension of forty eight weeks. Rule 7.11 covers appeals and (f) covers sanction An Appeal shall be submitted in duplicate to the Secretary of the appellate Hearings Committee, to be received within three days from the date and time of notification of the decision, or, where notification of the decision is not required in Rule, within three days from midnight following the meeting at which the decision is made. Any penalty which has been imposed shall remain in effect notwithstanding the submission of an Appeal. Killoe were offered an appeal by Leinster in March and said they were not available, Another Last Friday 7th August and were not available. They were also fined €500 on same night of hearing for a known individual allegedly abusing and threatening a referee to be paid before 31st July also, they paid the €500 on time and not the €750. Club need to tell all the facts to have any chance, not publicising their version looking for the sympathy vote."

Replying To arcadia:  "Can't see the Killoe ban being upheld. No reasonable arbitrator would find it proportional. Usual suspects at county board side making trouble to cover their backs. Lots of dishonesty and crookedness in the mix too which will hopefully get exposed. County board overplayed their hand massively so they can expect blowback. An astonishing misstep by county board officials in letting it go this far. Will probably delay things by a week or two but the national coverage will probably accelerate a decision on the original U16 appeal from Leinster and that will be that. Fair play to Killoe for standing their ground. This could be any club and the behaviours around this are not acceptable in this day and age."
