Didn't know it was a rule, thought it was more just county managers with an ago not letting players play. Glad to see McGinley taking the sensible approach.

Indeed. Manys a player has been known to fall between two stools. Not getting county or club game time and form or confidence ultimately suffers as a result. I just wonder what criteria Enda used for letting players off for club duty? It must be those not figuring in his immediate plans!

Not a rule and has been the practise for the last couple of years that squad players not regular starters can play league games for their club....

I hear Dracula was playing for one of the division 1 clubs at the weekend there

Agree totally with squad players being allowed to kick ball for clubs, could be problematic when drawing line by how many mins played or not allows you to play club  leagues.

Which is it? I thought and I'll quote

"Sorry Ref, did not fully read your post.....don't think rule applies to under-20s....."

Sweep sweep depending on the club no doubt.

full round of club u20 football matches at 3pm on Saturday and the county footballers playing at 2pm in corrigan, madness

Madness surely. Why couldn't club games throw in at 11am?

I think our CCC has lost the plot...
A full list of minor league games on Sunday and our county minors have a game on Saturday...

Don't agree lads, there are more players in the gaa than just these elite county senior players, same goes for the minor club games being on the day after county minor games, there's only 24 players lucky enough to be on a county panel, what about the rest who are the vast majority. Clubs can rest their county players if they want.

I was more coming at from the point of wanting to watch and support our county senior footballers

That's fine if it suits and I see your point Saffs, I'm not on the CCC but they're trying to accommodate everyone. Its surely more important for youths of the u17/20 age to get to play games of football than watch games of football. This must be the only slot they could get.
