Club Scene

[OneofTwo]

I see two clubs from Monaghan have entered their Junior teams into the Ulster club league. Will Éire Óg be lodging an objection?

Sure Eire Og are in it to you silly billy.

 

[Joe]

I think it's time Eire Og are left alone
They put forward a motion and it was passed by clubs.
There are many motions over the years that were passed - are all those clubs at fault as well?

And before others jump in saying ah sure we're only taking the proverbial there's only so long it can go on

They are a good, decent club.
Let's just leave it.

No

Confirmed? Saturday start is a strange one

Confirmed? Saturday start is a strange one

Armagh v Tyrone on the 12th and evenings not bright enough for Friday night is the logic I assume

Confirmed? Saturday start is a strange one

Must be with Easter being early and then p my Armagh playing that Sunday.

I’d say most teams aren’t getting much pitch work done

 

[ArmaghGael]

Going to put a few lads getting paid at the soccer in a tight fix..

 

[Onlooker]

ladies football is on a saturday night in armagh, has been for years. I can't see this being passed as we have many dual refs too

I’m sure it’ll be grand for a one off.

and where will both codes pull the refs from?

and where will both codes pull the refs from?

From the clubs that participate
If you don't have a ref at adult level you shouldn't be given a game if there's a squeeze on availability
Something has to give regarding referees and burying the head in the sand isn't one of them

 

[thesquires]

if its a once off im sure they just wont start the girls league to possibly the week after

that wouldnt go down well. And nor should it

 

[thesquires]

that wouldnt go down well. And nor should it

I know it wont but thats probably what will happen

 

[Armaghball]

that wouldnt go down well. And nor should it

Do they always start the same week?

Other option is the 19th which is fairly late.

 

[JoeH]

that wouldnt go down well. And nor should it

Two different organisations
The split season is great

 

[Armaghball]

when are we expecting fixtures to be out then?

 

[lumpitin]

There’s currently a proposal out to junior clubs in regards to which league format is preferred with feedback due Monday night from club, so fixtures will likely follow shortly after that. Proposed start dates are 29th March or 10/11 April.
