Down Club Hurling & Football

[urbangael]

Our Co Board are spineless. That statement is a total embarrassment. Trying to cover their backs. It leaves more questions than answers. Do they think the Down Gaa public are fuckin stupid to believe a bullshit statement like that. Chairman and Secretary need to take a long hard look at themselves. f**k their down ticket and f**k them. I can't give another penny to them under the current regime.

is this where we are at refs  being threatened.

Down statement is detailed until it gets to Saturday morning then it lacks any detail and glosses over what seems to be the crux of it. What happened on Saturday lads that meant there was no referee? Was the county management involved in proceedings? More questions than answers.

They were meeting last night I believe, so they'll want this to die a natural death and move on, but surely the rest of the clubs in Down have a right to know what happened as this reflects badly on all of us as a county.

Referees on strike?

Head not too fresh today after Monday club. Not be much work today in the office.

[Square Ball]

Referees on strike?

thats the rumour.so how will the other referees treat Higgins now?

[Applesisapples]

As an outside observer, I am reading a lot of unsubstantiated stuff on here. To be fair to the Referee, Kilcoo and other parties surely the Down County Board need to lay it out warts and all. Kilcoo are only one club, the other clubs in the county could force the issue at CB level or facing that an EGM. Strange that your Kilcoo supporter has made no comment on the situation other than to advise all of his celebrations.

The amount of rumours flying around about is crazy.

Referees on strike
Referees safety couldnt be guaranteed
CL was going to walk if the ref did it
Boys sitting outside referees house
Phone calls made to referee previously
Allegations of cheating by the referee

Down football has been in the doldrums for some time but this sort of stuff is off the scale (if any/all of it is accurate)

Word now circulating that a number of clubs in the county are considering pulling their County players from the panel. County Manager clearly involved to some extent whether directly or as part of Kilcoo player group.
This is sending a rot throughout the county.

I am always fair in my approach to matters and have addressed previous situations head on and discussed them on this forum, check my previous posts.

However, you hit the nail on the head, a lot of unsubstantiated info is doing the rounds here and online.

You've seen the fallout from the statement the County Board released. If I address it or make comment, it'll be like petrol to a flame. Safer saying nothing.

Clubs can't pull players from a county panel.

If you're going to throw petrol on a fire, make sure the can doesn't have a hole.

Clubs have absolutely zero input if a players lines out for the county or not

So if a county player discusses situation with his club and subsequently steps away from the panel?? Don't think they are contracted so free to walk

What Burren players are not going back? The only county player Burren have is heading to Australia IMO
