Sigerson 2015

[ck]

Anyone hear any talk about both Queens and Sligo IT fielding ineligible players in their game?

Could lead to UCC getting a walkover to the finals weekend.

I highly doubt that.

I only heard about it very 2nd hand and very roundabout.

I've no idea what the new restrictions that were brought in recently are like on who is a legitimate Sigerson player and who isn't, but given there were new rules brought in, I could easily see some 3rd levels getting caught out by fielding ineligible players. Instinctively I would say it would be far more likely to be a genuine oversight/ error as regards the rules as opposed to trying to pull a fast one.

"2nd hand roundabout way" yet your talking nonsense about UCC getting a walkover.
I'm pretty familiar with the ITS panel and there's no illegal players. They are all legit full time students. We haven't 2 euro to scratch our arses so the last thing we would be at is throwing money at players to come in for a bit of ball. We leave that to other colleges who everyone knows

I don't know the ins and outs but I've been told by someone involved with a third level college that it's alleged that the new "3 course rule" is the one that has been infringed...which with a lot of students in a lot of colleges, is not an unrealistic possibility. If you are so familiar with IT Sligo's squad then you will know that some of them have attended other institutions for example?
I really hope this turns out to be not true as the competition doesn't need this kind of thing rearing its head again.

Talk about shit stirring! If you have something to say come out and say it and less of this "I've been told by a friend" nonsense. So what of a few players have been at other institutions, that doesn't make them illegal. For the record I assume your referring to Mark McHugh. Yeah he was at NUIG, so what! He's in his second course, for the record.
Some people love to generate shite without knowing any of the facts.

[stronghold]

You are totally correct twohands Queens have lodged an objection against IT Sligo and IT Sligo are lodging a counter objection against Queens. No idea what the objections are about

[Syferus]

..moving onto something other than silly games, ITS' shot at upsetting UCC took a huge blow today with Evan Regan surely out injured. Would be amazing if they could do it now.

Well FACT is that an allegation of an illegal player has been made by Queens now, so maybe now you'll come off your high horse.

[ck]

Fact? What's the fact. Spit it out. Who's the accused illegal player? First I heard of it.
I hope you're not basing your "FACT" on above post by Stonghold who has been on here spouting nonsense for years. He'd know all about illegal played coming from UUJ.

No, not basing it just on that. Heard it from a friend of mine..

Look, you obviously have an affinity with IT Sligo, best to leave emotion out of these things I find.
I don't know who the alleged player concerned is. IF an illegal player has been played, it will be dealt with in the next few days I imagine and we'll all know then.All I know for sure is that the Higher Education committee are investigating it right now.
To be honest I hope it's not true and the competition proceeds as things stand.

[ck]

Yeah agree, hope there's nothing in this. I'm aware of the work that has gone into the ITS panel this year and I know we don't go down the road of bringing in fancy Dan players for a day out. If there is an illegal player I can only guess there has been a mistake.

Bigger issues for us today with Evan Regan breaking his collarbone. We wish him a speedy recovery.

[stronghold]

Take this as fact. Queens have lodged an objection regarding player/players from IT Sligo. Don't know details
IT Sligo counter objection relates to at least 3 Stranmillis students playing for Queens.

[ck]

Well I'll check this out today Stonghold.

No doubt all eyes will be on the Jordanstown team sheet this week to make sure boys aren't at it again against the scholarship kings DCU. I'd hate to think there are players from other colleges playing for J'town!

Different year same sh1t from ck.

Somebody reports that Queens and Sligo are objecting to each other, and ck throws mud at UUJ.

ck, what is it with you and the poly???

I was with the poly for 5 years (degree and MBA before you ask), and we never played illegal players.

I played in a freshers final against Queens, who were shouting that we had illegal players (which we didn't) and they only shut up when we pointed out that they had two illegal players.

My point being, there is an urban myth about the poly and our evil ways, but it's not true

So there are no county players getting paid £4k to play this year.....one Tyrone fella and a Donegal lad...

I would go to UUJ to access their sports science expertise and the training facilities alone.
Best facilities on the island, probably.

UL would be hard bate as a Sports campus I'd say. Their footballers have done fcuk all for last 10 years mind, despite the amount of talent that has come through there.
DCU have serious facilities.
UCC have the Mardyke Arena now,  which is a fairly top class facility.
UCD have serious facilities.
