There's no 'county player' rule for the ACFL anymore (Revised rules for 2024/2025 are published here). So it's between the player, their club and their county manager as to whether they play club or not during breaks in inter-county. Seems logical that the 26 from yesterday would be rested between now and the Meath game, but there is no rule anymore saying they can't play club and some county panelists who haven't had many or any games yet will likely have their hands up to play ACFL this weekend, which is fine IMO.

If there was a wedding Friday night it should have made no difference, they are not children with bedtimes and they definitely should not have been drinking if they cared about promotion. I was fair certain we would get a win yesterday but you would do us over in Wexford, I was way off the mark. Credit to Wexford's hunger regardless of the result in Carrick, they are right to feel hard done by

So with that being the rule players are not illegal to play, they can tog out and play if they want too? Very grey area if things not positive with county management, only teams really affected are Killoe (7) Dromard (2) Colmcille (2) Connollys (2) Granard (1) and M'aghta (1) from starting 15 , subs not used or only got 10mins yesterday would want to play I'm sure. Maybe all will play if county arent training, a game might be no harm after loss suffered at weekend Presume u20s are unavailable also with game tomorrow and next Tuesday? #Putitup (Longford) - Posts: 16 - 25/03/2024 17:06:26 2533668 Link 0 |
Good few lads have played 10 full games in 12 weeks between O'Byrne Cup and League, so it would be sensible to rest everyone who played yesterday. I don't think any club will be complaining about that, even though some will be significantly impacted while others will enjoy no impact at all. But shur what can you do about that. Lads who got little or no game time so far with the county will probably play, which is sensible too. So it is back to how it was for decades before the recent county player rule, which is now thankfully gone.

Teams have been left wondering who they are going to have for these games. It is never a good thing to have player availability at the whim of the county manager. Teams like Killoe could get badly done with the luck of the draw, unlikely given their incredible strength in depth. I thought it made alot of sense having defined rounds with and without county players with less points for games without county players. Looks like I'm the only one!
