The rules

[tyroneman]

With the debate over the advantage rule on sunday, thought a section on rules might be useful. Starter for 10 - when does a club suspension carry over into county matches?

With the debate over the advantage rule on sunday, thought a section on rules might be useful. Starter for 10 - when does a club suspension carry over into county matches?

a)When the player isn't good enough to get on to the county team
b)When the player is good enough but there is no meaningful county team action during the duration of the suspension

When it's longer than the minimum suspension I think. Basically if you get 3 months for striking instead of 1, you're banned from all games. Or maybe it's category C suspensions or something as well.
