OTB played an audio of the Mayo manager saying how the exodus happened with the Carnacon secretary ringing him to tell him that all their 8 players were withdrawing for player welfare issues. No information on those issues were given.

Subsequently another three players gave separate personal reasons and another one didn't respond. Thet're from different clubs it seems.

I presume Mayo Ladies CB are using the "bringing the game into disrepute" on the basis that Carnacon made allegations wrt player welfare but haven't backed those up.

When is Coras book being released again ? October is it ! this will help sell a few books what ever happens !

Players may be volunteers, but so are the county board officials. LGFA is run on a shoe-string compared to the GAA, and the board members have an onerous and completely thankless job.

To be fair, if the club told the players to leave the squad, it is the club that should be sanctioned.
That's the issue here.
Unless I'm mistaken, the non-Carnacon players (who perhaps left the squad in solidarity) have not been sanctioned, nor have their clubs.
If that is the case, this would challenge the suggestion that the players themselves are being punished for not making themselves available for the county squad.
Is there a paper trail that shows the order came directly from Carnacon?

This is far more interesting than the AI final build up and the shïte talking about RTÉ and people pretending Tyrone have a chance. Even when they're out Mayo manage to take the headlines..

From the Mayo News

''When asked why the sanction was unique to Carnacon and their players, and not to other players from other clubs who left, Mr McDonnell said their withdrawal was somewhat different.
"Other players left of an individual nature for personal reasons. Carnacon withdrew their players – they contacted the county manager and withdrew their services. That is what it was seen by the meeting as having brought the game into disrepute. It was the action of the club rather than its players," he said.
While there is a rule in the Ladies Gaelic Official Guide that allows county boards to impose a six month ban for any player who refuses to play for their county team, Mr McDonnell said this did not apply as 'personal reasons' were cited by the non-Carnacon players.''

It's not as if they had much trouble dismantling everyone else to get motivation.

I know, but I feel that they might be in the mood to batter someone now .

All the other clubs should withdraw in protest.
