Down Club Hurling & Football

[SticksandStones]

His point is that clubs can't do it.
Players have to want to do it.

Yes and No, if a club suspends or expels a county player and doesn't register him for 2024 then he can't play county unless another club would take him. Improbable I would say though.

Seriously?
Why would a club ever suspend or expel one of their own players?
So to get at the Down Senior team a club team would expel their own player meaning the player cant play for the club either?

Im not sure I have ever read such a load of nonsense in my life

I believe what Mr. Apples is saying that technically its possible. Not that anyone would do it

So if no one would do it then it means clubs would not pull their players from the county set up.
Only players can do that

Exactly, if the club decided to boycott the county and the players decided not to comply the could technically do so....I did say improbable, ie I don't think any club would do so.

[Truth hurts]

Never in my life have I heard so much nonsense said. Questions need to be answered quickly. We are a laughing stock.

Speak to your clubs county representative, I believe there was a meeting on Monday night.

[Maurice Moss]

Away to a high profile club in Monaghan I believe.
What is the situation in other clubs with regards to managers?

[Johnnysboys]

Carryduff ??
Loughinisland - new management - Conor OToole??
Kilcoo - new management required
Burren - new management required
Clonduff - new management required
Mayobridge- new management - Bernie Murray??
CPN - new management required
Bredagh - new management required
Bryansford - new management required
Longstone - new management required

Must be a record for the top ten clubs in the county to have so much management activity in one off season..

Castlewellan
Ballyholland - new management - Shane Mulholland
Saul - new management - John Fegan
Downpatrick - new management required
Liatroim - will probably stick with current setup??
Saval - new management required
Shamrocks - will probably stick with DJ
Rostrevor -
Glen - ?
Drumgath - ??

Anyone any updates on above?

[ApresMatch]

Brendan Mason & Ruairi Gillen over Darragh Cross next year.

[County Star]

As an outsider it seems absurd that the Down County Board would change the Ref, especially since Kilcoo lost out with their Disputes Resolution appeal. sets a bad precedent. I obviously don't know the cause of the objections, but it beggars belief that any one trying to make it as a national ref would make any statements about stopping a Club winning championships. It will be interesting to see how the Referees respond.

There will be no response, it will be forgotten about in a few weeks and they will all start next season as if it didn't happen. Kilcoo won't suffer, the only person who will suffer is Faloon, he reputation in tatters due to this appeal, zero backing from Down CB or his peers in referees Committee. Wouldn't be surprised if he gave up on the refereeing or went to another county, as its a joke what went on. The phone calls to the county board over the past week would have been constant, threatening no doubt, and Lavery no doubt the ring leader

Very slanderous that last line about Laverty

What is the story there. I would assume as winning the title would guarantee the job, that it is Lacey walking away. Is he based in Letterkenny and travelling 3 times a week?
