NFL Division 2 - 2020

[smelmoth]

Fair play to the CCC.
Played an absolute blinder again.
And good to see the GPA putting their foot down again over player welfare.

That's Fermanagh relegated .

What the fine for not fielding for your final 2 games ?

Does this mean if Laois win this weekend they are promoted ?

Was any rationale given?

I can think of 3 reasons why it was turned down
1) CCCC don't believe Fermanagh
2) They believe them but couldn't care less
3) they understand Fermanagh's position but just can't accommodate it


Difficult to think of a 4th rationale

Some explanation should be given

[FermGael]

Can Fermanagh head to the the DRA?

[Itchy]

I'm surprised ye are surprised

[tintin25]

I wouldn't even bother fielding for the remaining NFL games and Ulster Championship...fcuk them

[Farrandeelin]

Can Fermanagh head to the the DRA?

They should try all avenues afforded to them. I'd say they could.

Option 3 is probably what they told them but they could have made more of an effort to accommodate them.

The ideal time to reschedule the game is after both Fermanagh, Clare are knocked out of the Championship.

Yes, I agree.

But what if we have a Fermanagh v Clare All Ireland final?

[macdanger2]

That's a balls for Fermanagh, it'll be interesting to see if this stance is maintained when a bigger county are in a similar position

It presumably will have an effect on the other counties in the bottom half of D2 also since it should be 2 handy points for Clare

It's a knock on effect for everyone because if Clare lose then they'd be relegated and Armagh could coast it against a team already down. Now Clare need to beat Armagh to be 100% sure of staying up and that's now a problem for Armagh. As you say it effects the teams around the bottom too.

I do feel sorry for Fermanagh and kinda is unfair but it's something they have to either get on with it with what players they do have available or just don't field and waste their time and money travelling to Ennis

[Ed Ricketts]

This division could well come down to scoring difference when it's done.

Has it been decided what happens if teams don't field? In soccer a 3-0 result is usually declared. Are there precedents for this in the GAA?

[APM]

I would agree with Stefan Campbell on this one. 

At least during the first wave, while there was no sport on the telly, there was the opportunity to enjoy the decent weather outside. 
We are in for a long depressing winter.  I'll be glad of being able to take in league and championship games on the telly.  It will be very strange watching games with no crowds, but it's better than nothing on a dark and damp weekend in November.

I have seen it before where the scoring for the game with that particular team has been ignored meaning the teams that have not played them yet are not disadvantaged

Tight on Armagh if it goes that way. They are the only side that gave Fermanagh much of a beating - 13 points. Wiping that out would all but eliminate any score difference advantage they had on their promotion rivals. Would be a bit unjust, COVID in Fermanagh has nothing to do with Armagh.
