[Throw It Up Ref]

Word's reached me from a normally reliable source that the ACL games will be reverting to Sundays after the July break.

Really hope this isn't true Fionntamhnach. Friday night games have been fantastic since their introduction. I was trying to see what stage the league reverted to Sundays last year but can only tell it was as early as the first weekend of September.

So, not from the county board then...

Oh you.

Heard the same. Sundays from mid July. Fridays would be dead on if a single game fixture at 7.15 reserve and senior leagues need to be seperate but would never get through a vote, nothing ever does.

Senior games Friday nght and Reseves on a saturday evening would be ideal for alot of people/ clubs I would imagine.
Obviously it throws up some issues around tarveling and traininga rrnagements etc but i think its worth a try for a year, particularly now with the split season.

Surely they would be looking to play Friday evening for as long as possible. The Friday evenings have been a massive success since their introduction.

Tbh the reserve league should start in February. Whenever senior league starts in April then joint fixtures. Reserves should be finished up by the time they daylight starts to turn. No reason to delay reserve leagues because of Tyrone seniors or U20s

Yes, you would imagine that is their thinking also but daylight becomes an issue from early August onwards. Not possible to play 2 games on a Friday night unless reserve game started at 5.30pm which is a non starter.

Last year the switch to Sunday games was end of August or start of September but that was due to Tyrone in AI semi & final and the league was on hold for 4/5 weeks and nothing took place for all of August basically.

how many teams have floodlights could games that can be lighted still be on a friday.

[Christmas Lights]

is there a reason they cant be played around 2 pm or 3pm saturdays that gives players time to do saturday night activitys   id say most  local soccer games are played around those time.

Conflicts then with soccer. Lot of guys like to play both.  Clonoe wouldn't have a team between 2.00-4.30pm on a Saturday.

Well then its the two games that is the issue, not the friday night fixture.
Seniors friday, reserves saturday is def worth a try.  Spliting them up would allow a fixed calender for reserve games that isnt interuped by the county schedule either. I think that is a big part of what puts off the more 'casual' players, no reliable fixture list.
I would also potential adress the issue of smaller clubs in senior getting tanked every week in the reserves, they could be playing at the level their reserve team is at, not thier senior side.

[Tyrone2021]

Was told there that as many as 8 reserves games won't be played this Friday due to a lack of referees available

[Tyrone11234]

All games postponed this weekend.

[Mikhailov]

All games postponed this weekend.

Only proper and correct.

Yesterdays game has sparked a debate about the use of penalties to decide games. What ever the merits or otherwise  for its use in Intercounty games, I dont think it has any place deciding underage games. 
I see youth championship games in Tyrone all listed to be decided on the day withe extra time and penalties. Is this really necessary to put young lads through that?

It's called sport. Someone wins, someone loses. I don't get the whole penalties aren't fair thing. It applies to both teams, nearly every other comparable team sport has a sudden death scenario. part of the game.

we can't talk about burn out, calendars, off seasons etc and then complain about finishing on the day at the same time
