Replying To drunkensailor: "Dromard have withdrawn fm the championship I just heard" Still could drag with placement of teams Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 470 - 07/09/2024 15:40:37 2568837 Link
Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Fair enough but ij this case there was evidence on clubber.ie I would agree be hard to say ref is wrong if there wasn't video evidence especially. Harsh on carrickedmond but that's important point u didn't mention. No winners really here . Won't be replay anyway" Unfortunately, Carrickedmond probably hadn't the opportunity to check Clubber at half time! GAALONGFORD (Longford) - Posts: 33 - 07/09/2024 18:38:19 2568851 Link

So Dromard are back in according to the fixtures. Carrickedmond playing Slashers in relegation game to see who plays Mostrim or Kenagh. Dunnor (Longford) - Posts: 32 - 08/09/2024 12:49:03 2568915 Link

Decision made. Correct decision in my view. Quarter Finals updated to: 1) Killoe vs Dromard (Saturday) 2) Mullinalaghta vs Granard (Sunday) 3) Colmcille vs Clonguish (Saturday) 4) Abbeylara vs Rathcline (Sunday) Semis are 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 on 28th/29th. Carrickedmond vs Slashers playoff is on Saturday. Relegation games vs Kenagh and Mostrim are Friday week. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 556 - 08/09/2024 17:48:43 2568959 Link

Yeah looking like delays ahead to eventually end up exactly where we are now. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 556 - 09/09/2024 12:50:56 2569067 Link
I don't know how this will end but I know that Carrickedmond will not let this go without exhausting every possible avenue first. There is no chance the quarter finals will be held this weekend liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 248 - 09/09/2024 14:10:43 2569090 Link
Replying To liosbreac6265: "I don't know how this will end but I know that Carrickedmond will not let this go without exhausting every possible avenue first. There is no chance the quarter finals will be held this weekend" The video clearly shows that they lost by a point. The referee's report clearly states that he made a mistake in counting the scores and that they lost by a point. I feel very sorry for them - it's a particularly ** way to go out of the championship - but there's no ambiguity, no room for argument, in any of that. An error occurred and it was corrected. What case do they have left? "If only we'd known we'd have tried harder" is no more a valid argument in the GAA appeals system than "If only Cian Mackey hadn't cleared that ball off the line and we hadn't then missed the resultant 45 on top of that". No appeals body would entertain it. Killoe-Clonguish final back on the cards as a result. TurnipAyter (Longford)** - Posts: 161 - 09/09/2024 16:11:21 2569116 Link

Replying To Gunner24: "I heard that the quarter finals are to be played even if Carrickedmond have an unanswered objection" Surely not? Can't see the games going ahead at the weekend. Are Carrick going to the DRA? Any word on the Longford management team? williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 405 - 09/09/2024 16:34:44 2569121 Link

You have joined the ranks of playing down your own side!! From talking to Carrickedmond clubmen, they will go to Leinster and then the DRA. As a previous poster said, all delays to end up with the same result. liosbreac6265 (Longford)** - Posts: 248 - 09/09/2024 17:02:21 2569133 Link

From talking to Carrickedmond clubmen, they will go to Leinster and then the DRA. As a previous poster said, all delays to end up with the same result." They could, I suppose, go to the DRA seeking an injunction to postpone the championship, but for that they would need a prima facie case (which they don't seem to have from where I'm standing) and be able to argue for the balance of convenience that they would have a significant chance of winning that case (short answer - they don't). It would be €1000 down the drain. Once the referee admitted his mistake the game has essentially been up. TurnipAyter (Longford) - Posts: 161 - 09/09/2024 18:25:18 2569145 Link
I suppose, liosbreac, we're all doing that to a certain extent, but the two matches we've won we've won by a point, whereas Clonguish have been impressive in their last two games and Killoe have been cruising. We would need to improve dramatically to be in contention for Seán Connolly. TurnipAyter (Longford) - Posts: 161 - 09/09/2024 18:29:15 2569146 Link

Kilow favourites clonguish probably next but clonguish Colmcile mullinaghta granard to lesser extent can beat each other or knock each other out.
