This isn't the 1950s.
The whole thing can't be allowed to turn lawless.
What you ignore, you condone

It should never have gotten this far. A club claimed to know but only queried it. That's when it should have been buried. If you know what's not right you say it. Then. Of course the club in question are wrong, a desperate act by a club in desperate perils. Others would want to be grateful they're not in that position

Yeaahhh, fair enough. I just think it's sad to see a hurling club go under in these circumstances. I can't see them fielding next year. They're not really hurling at a 'serious' level, anyway. We don't need to be losing hurling clubs. Slieve Bloom and Trumera are also on the 'endangered' list. Didn't the county board have some plan to help these three clubs? Of course there's huge demographic problems for a lot of rural clubs and I don't really know how the ones mentioned can be saved. However, I agree with Smallballbigballs - it should never have got this far. A quiet word in an ear early on surely would have been enough and face might have been saved, all 'round.

Was Mountrath querying at a county board meeting not the quiet word in the ear that was needed?
Surely Kyle at that stage had to say to themselves 'ok we've done wrong, we've gotten away with it but everyone knows what went on' and nip it in the bud.
No, it seems they continued to do it throughout the campaign.
Sad to see them in this spot but rules are rules.
