Mullinalaghta may accept it either way they are affected in terms of placing but dromaed or Carrickedmond the ones who miss out

Well then we will probably find ourselves in a situation where carrick go through under in controversial circumstances and dromard are left as the unlucky ones.

Am I correct in saying that both teams that drew go through? eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1894 - 03/09/2024 15:03:34 2568251 Link 0 |
This is a quite bizarre but entertaining scenario, for everyone apart from the Carrickedmond and Dromard Clubs. One team will be bitterly disappointed by the outcome. However, from looking at the tables and the standings at the end, head to heads, it looks like it's actually Clonguish Club that are the team extremely lucky to be advancing through. They have gone through on score difference between the teams and not overall points obtained from the teams on the level points. Something for the Longford County board to correct in the rule section. WmeathWarrior (Westmeath) - Posts: 38 - 03/09/2024 15:56:20 2568263 Link 0 |
Although a sensible solution, i don't think this could be done. There is no official basis to do this and could set a precedent for any future issues.

Ye hard see what can be done. Without someone being affected Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 470 - 03/09/2024 16:39:01 2568271 Link 0 |
Well summarised I can't see the ref in question admiting it maybe he will who knows but have doubts. How it works from there who knows

Yes, the ref miscalculated the score and both Mullinalaghta and Carrickedmond qualify with the draw. The correct score though should have been a one point win for Mullinalaghta which would see Carrickedmond eliminated and Dromard qualifying in their place. The group has been extremely tight the whole way through with numerous draws.

This is shaping up to go to the DRA , things could be delayed unfortunately. Hopefully not! maximus02 (Longford) - Posts: 211 - 03/09/2024 17:02:46 2568278 Link 0 |
Why would a replay be ordered? While it may seem tough on Carrickedmond the simple fact of the matter is they did not score enough to win the game and lost it. An argument that they would have went for a goal if they knew there was 2 points in it is purely hypothetical. Who's to say they would have scored. The only thing that is certain is that they scored 11 points not 12! It would be more unfair on Dromard if they were put out of the championship by a point that was never scored. It's as simple as that. hotspur (Longford) - Posts: 10 - 03/09/2024 17:06:52 2568279 Link 1 |
Your point on Clonguish is actually very valid. I can see why a head to head when 2 teams are level is a good decider as no one else is involved but when 4 teams all end up on 5 pts because of all their results, I can't see then why they are not ranked on the basis of their scoring difference based on all results as well.

The Longford Leader have said 'apparently Mullinalaghta have lodged an objection'. We will have to wait and see what happens next. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1315 - 03/09/2024 18:11:56 2568291 Link 0 |
Well if the bookeeping was right and no phantom point existed then you'd have Clonguish and Dromard level on 5 points and Clonguish ahead of them on head to head. So in reality Clonguish are well entitled to their place in the knockout stages. It was a fantastically entertaining group phase and really was a group of death its just a pity that this might overshadow all the good games that went before it

That has happened in a few games that I know of and some teams even had video evidence and because the ref would not admit he made a mistake that was it.Nothing could be done.

That is exactly right. Objection has seemingly been raised by Mullinalaghta, so the compelling evidence in this case will now decide this case. The game will be awarded to Mullinalaghta, they will top the group with Abbeylara 2nd and Clonguish 3rd, and the quarter finals will be corrected to Killoe vs Dromard, Mullinalaghta vs Granard, Colmcille vs Clonguish and Abbeylara vs Rathcline, in line with the rules of the competition. It's tough on Carrickedmond, but the fault lies with the referee and officials on the day who lost control of score keeping in a game which Mullinalaghta can categorically be proven to have won by a point. Anyone can make a mistake so if the ref holds his hands up then fair enough, but if the referee's report doesn't reflect any error made, there needs to be a separate investigation into that, or it will happen again.

The game was on clubber so there is conclusive evidence of the error. Heard this evening that the referee has admitted his mistake and Mullinalaghta have put in an appeal. So it's going to the Longford GAA CCC to make a decision.

Any updates yet? Have Mullinaghta definitely appealed or is the county board/ccc in a position to just deal with it? #Putitup (Longford) - Posts: 43 - 03/09/2024 22:46:19 2568328 Link 0 |
