Ulster LGFA shambles..tonights game forfeited by Derry's Steelestown

[Smurfy123]

Curry chop there has been many instances in mens football that a county final was played on a Saturday and they were made play the following day.
So yes it does and has happened in mens
A lot worse too haven to play the following day

Doesn't make it right!

[Smurfy123]

Steelstown have disagreed with the Ulster LGFA and issued their own statement ...it contains omissions errors and misleading statements

Lazer, probably not intentionally, but the way you've put that is a bit misleading. The Steelstown statement does not " contain errors omissions and misleading statements". Their club statement said that the ULGFA statement had "errors/omissions etc".

If there's a player welfare issue with playing all these games so close together, don't Steelstown share some of the blame? According to the lgfa statement the offer was put to all remaining counties to push the final out a week and all counties voted against this. The Derry rep being from Steelstown!

[From the Bunker]

The Root of this comes down to dilly dallying for weeks to finish County Championships.

There is then a huge rush to finish off provincial Championships in a small window. Provincial games should all be always originally scheduled for a Saturday, so that if there is a problem, the Sunday is there to offer a buffer.

While it was ridiculous for the ulster council to agree the 3 games in a week scenario, it's hard to argue it when not only did you have a club person as the County Rep voting on it, but they were also a member of the management team!
It seems the real c**k up here lies with the "Derry Vice-Chairperson, who is a member of Steelstown management"

Did he/she not inform their team of the backup scenario? or did everyone in the management team fail to say "by the way girls, that means you can't wear steel studs if we end up playing on the back pitch"

Picking up the standard Derry City "we're so hard done by" vibe from all of this

Oh aye- give us some more examples there mucker. Was it the civil rights campaign or something else

Bus did a u turn at Altnagelvin Hospital once they got the call. ☺️

Their statement does not appear to have any facts to back up their assertions. The LGGA statement at least had email timings and wording to backup their statement.

Edited now..thanks

Steelstown statement doesn't refute anything and has no detail unlike the Ulster one. Are they not a senior club anyway?

Senior champions go intermediate depending on your county grade .

[supersub]

Fixture timing issue aside, which is absurd (but once you are on the bus you are for playing the game!!) - if they knew about the backup venue in advance as Ulster LGFA suggest, and their only refutal to play this game at that time was that the players had the incorrect boots - then the blame unfortunately lies with the club for not communicating all possible outcomes clearly with management and players beforehand. Unfortunate, but that's the bottom line where Wednesday is concerned. Anything else prior to that is smoke and mirrors. They were on the bus heading to play the game and people within the club knew the permutations!

Easy to blame the LGFA, who are almost all volunteers; it's a thankless task and they have no money. Perhaps the grumblers on this forum could put themselves forward for office.
