Dublin CB reject Eamon Fennell's transfer request - were they right or wrong ?

[orangeman]

Last night, Dublin chairman Ger Harrington used his casting vote to reject a transfer request from Eamon Fennell to join St. Vincent's.

Were they right or wrong to reject it and was their reasons correct given the other transfers that have gone through in different counties ?.





The Dublin County Committee has issued a statement regarding the denial of Eamon Fennell's transfer application.

The statement read: 'The Dublin County Committee last evening considered an application from Eamon Fennell to transfer from O'Toole's to St Vincent's GAA Club.

'A player who wishes to leave one club to join another must apply to the County Committee for a transfer.

'A County Committee has the right, acting within its Bye-Law, to grant or not to grant an application for transfer. The committee refused to grant the transfer application.'

The Dublin Transfer Byelaw states: 'As the GAA is community centred, based on the allegiance of its members to their local clubs, the object of which is to promote the Association's aims at local level, the transfer rules in the Official Guide and this Bye-Law reflect that ethos.

'A player is considered to always owe allegiance and loyalty to the club he first legally participated with in club competition.'

Correct decision imo - if it's let through all small clubs in Dublin may as well pack it in.

It's nothing personal against Eamon who is a genuine nice bloke.

Sorry lads,dont know the facts here,a few questions,
Did Fennell fall out with O Tooles? or did he just want to move to a higher profile club to better his chances of starting for Dublin?
Fennell is a good player,
i remember him lording it over Dermot McCabe in a league match a few years ago,something few have done.

3 transfer requests to 3 different clubs lynchy . Crazy stuff in my view. We were effectively 3rd choice. No thanks. I'm sick and tired of the transfer scene in Dublin. it is beyond an embarrassement.

Why so Lynchy? Thats the first time I've heard anyone give out about him??

[ludermor]

Correct decision IMO but what makes iot difrerent to all the other transfers ( i dont know the ends and outs of clu transfers in dublin but reading some of the Parnells stuff it seems to be widespread)? Are they just making a show of Fennel?
