its does seem to be the norm at the minute, but im sure there are other ways.

15+ Rossa kids who im sure where looking forward to a game in Cushendall last night have also been punished now!!!!!!!!

Can the game not be fixed at an alternative venue ?

Punish the team involved not the other players/teams. We have 3 senior football teams 2 senior hurling plus two divisional teams all punished over one team. hardly fair

On top of that you have a problem with what pitch the match will be on. Does that mean that cushendall will play the remainder of their home games in Glenariffe or Cushendun.

Who then picks up the extra costs for the clubs involved?

The club is punished as a whole, because simply it is the clubs responsibility to ensure that their teams maintain discipline.

I would imagnie the mood that Glenariffe are in regarding their North Antrim neighbours Cushendall will be heading round the coast to the 'Dun to complete their fixtures.

I don't see many teams giving up their pitches to us for free!

Milltown Row2 · August 16, 2011, 01:25:56 PM

That's bullsh1te NAG, we can't police all our teams. We issued codes of conduct and hope that it's adhered to, if two players out of 80 players step out of line it seems unfair on the others.

What extra costs are involved

There will be extra heating costs or electric costs on a club. Its not major but with most clubs struggling to pay fees and their own bills it is not fair on the club hosting the game.

Our relationship with Cushendall is very good it always has been. We would be happy let them use our ground

Are cushendall not paying the running costs of your minors $:-\$

Surely things like running costs work themselves out over a gentlemans conversation?

I'm not refering to just us there have been several examples of this in the county in the last month. I am trying to point out it does not just involve the club whe were punished.

Some of our minors are playing for cushendall this year because we dont have a minor team. If it was vice versa we would be happy to support cushendall. As I mentioned earlier thats down to a good relationship within the clubs

How else do you police it then?
Every team look after themselves independently? Oh it wasnt us it was our junior b footballers that assaulted a ref or had a riot.
The buck stops with the club and the way to encourage good discipline within these clubs is to have tough punishment for those that step out of line. Peer pressure is a wonderful thing.

That's a good result for Creggan. They'll maybe be strong contenders for junior championship.

There is talk that Cushendun won't have a senior team next year, sad when you think they were in a senior final 10 years ago.

Any of the "old guard" still about i.e. Aidan Mort, Rab Laverty, the McSparrans, Conleth Magee etc? Had some good players back in the day but all those boys would be 36-38 now.
