Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mike Tyson]

An riocht are not playing after the dead line they play leitrim tomara nite in an riocht under lights

Yea but is that not due to the fact last nights match was called off? If it was scheduled to be played tomorrow before Tuesday then I can't understand what our committee are complaining about.

[SHEEDY]

An riocht only playing tomorrow night after last night's game was called off. All a bit of a mess, games being played whenever and wherever just to get them played.

[east down gael]

Provided the game is eventually played,which I suspect it will,is it still possible for loughinisland to gain promotion?

[super reds 99]

The game will not be played cut off point is saturday clubs have known this sense June may be some clubs can't get.players home from England during the week!!!!

[east down gael]

Okay,but hypothetically,could they still get promoted if it was played?

[SHEEDY]

Okay,but hypothetically,could they still get promoted if it was played?

if loughinisland beat an riocht and won their last game, they would need an riocht to lose 1 of their last 2 games against liatroim or darragh cross.

[east down gael]

So it wouldn't really matter if the game isn't played as an riocht are unlikely to lose either of them two.

[Smurfy123]

Liatrom to play 3 games in 4 days.That makes a complete mockery of the leagues?Who makes the fixtures by the way?We went for weeks during the summer with no games .Good move by An Riocht to get the games played thou before the deadline date

[saulzer]

Yes, makes a mockery of the league and tarnishes An Riocht's now very likely final position as league champions.

[Corner Forward]

Was this fixture originally due to be played in May? If so is there not a 13 day period from the date of the original fixture within which the refixed game must be played?

[Mike Tyson]

Okay,but hypothetically,could they still get promoted if it was played?

if loughinisland beat an riocht and won their last game, they would need an riocht to lose 1 of their last 2 games against liatroim or darragh cross.

If it was replayed and we beat An Riocht & Annaclone, with An Riocht winning their remaining games, both would finish level on points. What way does it work then? Score difference or head to head over the two league games?

It's a farce that it's come down to rushing games through the last few weeks. We played Darragh Cross end of June and didn't have another game until our championship match with Castlewellan. There were four weeks in between which a few games could have been played.

[Smurfy123]

Anyword coming out from the county board on this matter?
Surely Liatrom playing 3 games in 4 days is not in the rules?
Different clubs playing games on other clubs pitches because they have no light? How has it come to this?As was mentioned before 5/6 Friday's during the summer there was no football played.
The county board need to take a stand here.Hardly fair on Island to have to give up home advantage in a massive game.

Regarding Loughinisland v An Riocht here's the facts , Jarlath Tinnelly stated all games had to be played on or before 08/10/16 , fair enough , the game against An Riocht was originally postponed because of a death in their parish, for various reasons beyond the clubs control this game and several others had been postponed, the club with the help of neighbouring clubs worked to get al, games played before 08/10/2016, we had proposed to ccc that our game against Bredagh be played 15/10/16 at the Dub under lights we were told no chance , the game was played under lights at Abbey Nwery , so we played 5 games within 2 weeks, now we were going to play at Kilcoo under lights on Tuesday past and Annaclone on Sat coming 08/10/16 , so all our games would be fulfilled, Leitrim have been forced to play 3 games on successive nights (so much for player welfare) ,we learned that 2 games in div 3 have been fixed with ccc approval on 15/10/16, and the game in our div between Darragh and Bredagh fixed for the same date , so why have we been forced to give up home advantage, p,ay games under lights in Newry , what is the agenda of the ccc, last year they forced us to play a promotion game against Longstone 6 days before an Ulster championship game , what the feck is happening why is the ccc under the guidance of messers Tinnelly and Devenny not forcing all clubs to play games on or before 15/10/16, the same clowns who every year make a nonsense of the fixtures, not a bit of wonder our county is in the state it is, and the clown Devenny is our new county chairman in waiting , God feckin help us , my advice to you sir is stick to your wannabe commentary career.USE your common sense regarding o/s fixtures ,

Seriously. To the left of the  '?' key on your keyboard. Use it.

    Some clubs call games off for the daftest of reasons and don't refix to a suitable date and then come on cryin here when forced to play them.The games to be played after the 8th don't count as regards relegation or promotion but the ones being discussed here do matter and loughinisland seem to want to do everything their way.Same old/same old.
