1st black card gets replaced
2nd gets replaced
3rd gets replaced
4th or more black card doesnt get replaced so team is down a player

Whats everyones view on new rule
If you dont field u get fined plus are deducted 2 points before the start of next season
So say a  team doesnt field a game in 2018 season they start 2019 season on -2 points

I've a few scenarios with Black Cards and Blood Subs, which might confuse anyone at a match... including the ref. If anyone knows answers here, please shout.

Using Dublin as an example team for ease of understanding:

1. Early in the game, Kevin McMenamin enters the field as a blood sub, just for a couple of minutes. Dublin then go on to use 5 "real" subs, but not McMenamin. Stephen Cluxton gets a black card for a cynical pull down with just 5 minutes to go. Does the Dub's 6th and final sub now have to be McMenamin?

2. It's a fiery enough game and after 10 minutes, Diarmuid Connolly leaves the field for a few stitches. He's replaced temporarily by Eoghan O'Gara. But the big full-forward's first action sees him take Lee Keegan out by the roots, which is punished by a black card. Connolly still has a stitch to go, so Dublin send Michael Darragh McAuley into the fray. Is it safe to assume McAuley can also be declared as a blood sub?

3. It's a proper battle out there, and just 5 minutes into the second half, Dublin have been forced to use all their 6 subs. Jonny Cooper is on the end of some (most-likely deserved) retribution, and has blood flowing out of his nose. The ref, of course, asks him to leave the play. Dublin have used their 6 subs. Can they bring in a blood sub, or is it tough luck?

4. Dublin are 9 points down in the final quarter, and staring at championship defeat for the first time in over 3 years. They respond the old-fashioned way, and go about cutting Kerry down like trees. Poor aul Philly McMahon didn't expect James O'Donaghue to respond so ferociously, and is dealt a heavy cut just above the eye. Off he trots for a quick clean up, and Dublin (who've only one sub left) bring on the returning Rory O'Carroll as a blood sub. Being a touch off the pace, O'Carroll trips up a goalbound Paul Geaney and incurs a black card. Of course this means O'Carroll has to leave the play. Can we assume that McMahon is also now barred from the action through no (well, very little) fault of his own, and Dublin are finishing with 14 men?

Done a few referee courses and refereed a few games

1-blood sub doesnt count as an offical sub so a blood sub could stay on all game and the tea, can still use 6 subs
2-yes
3-blood sub is allowed and could stay on for rest of game
4-mcmahon goes of as a blood sub so that still leaves 1 sub which is used whem o'carrol gets black carded

But they all depemd on how many black cards were used before that happened as yes you have 6 subs but you can only use 3 of them for black cards so if u get 4 players black carded you are the down a player

[Kilcoo and Castlewellan must replay LAST YEARS league final]

from the GAELIC LIFE
Kilcoo and Castlewellan must replay LAST YEARS league final

KILCOO and Castlewellan are set to replay last season's controversial league final.

Gaelic Life understands that a meeting took place last night involving GAA officials, Down County Board officials and representatives from the two clubs.

It was decided that the first league meeting between the two teams in 2017 will now double up as the final, with two points also on offer. The match is expected to be played at Pairc Esler with the teams flipping a coin to decide who will have been deemed to have had home advantage for the fixture.

Castlewellan were awarded the title after Kilcoo pulled out of the league final in November, which was scheduled to take place a few days after their Ulster Club meeting with Glenswilly.

It means the unusual situation that Castlewellan will now play a league final under without the manager who got them there – John 'Shorty' Trainor. Mark Doran, part of the coaching team last season, is now over the Town.


Now that is complete stupid i think, what happens if the game ends in a DRAW ??

Anyone familiar with promotion from Div 3? Is there a play off or is it the team that finishes top win the league, with secodn going up aswell?

How does it work for teams finishing on the same points? Head to head and then points diff or just points diff?

As far i have been told top 2 go up and with teams on same point it goes headtohead if more than 2 teams on same points goes to score diff
