Cork - should they excluded for a year if history repeats itself?

Warper

Just wondering after the whole Cork debacle (again) should they be allowed to take part in the Championship if they miss their first League match. It seems that they are the most arrogant bunch of players in Ireland and show showing absolutely no respect to other counties or the GAA by failing to even to field a team for their fixtures as has happened in the past.

It might give them a wake up call if they were let get on with their own grievances and be excluded for a year rather than just turn up when they want. What do you think? Should they be allowed to mess up the fixture list again?

Banned for a month.

LOL Smashey, I think though that his internet connection might be the fault of the multiple thread post.

On topic. I think it is rather unfortunate about the Cork situation. I would rather see points awarded to the opposition rather than banning them outright.

Flukey

I agree with Danno, in that if Cork don't show, the game is a walkover and the opposing team gets the points. That's all the punishment they require. Most GAA people want to see Cork playing again, so a ban would be the wrong thing to do. When they are ready, they'll come back and then they can get on with business. In the meantime, the rest of the country can continue on as normal.

Unlike last year, there is no suggestion at this point that Cork won't fulfil any league fixture this year. It's just a case of what players will play in those games and what re-action that will evoke among the 2008 players who won't play for the current manager.

Pretty much this.

I haven't heard a single word of Cork not fulfilling their fixture list until I opened this thread.

I think that the GAA should follow its own rules, fail to fulfill two fixtures in a competition and you are kicked out of that competition. So they should have been relegated in both the NFL and NHL last year IMO. However, that was last year and is in the past. Also like previous posters I have not heard anything about Cork not fulfilling fixtures in this years league.

Nor had I heard any word of it...I was under the impression we had a team...but I have a tendency to miss the point of these things or so it seems...

I dont think that it is a stupid question at all. There is a chance that Cork will not field a team. Personally, I think they should be suspended from League and Championship regardless for 2009. I am sick to the teeth of Cork players throwing their teddys out and consistently not being able to resolve differences with their own management and board. Dont get me wrong, I am not solely blaming the players, but I do think the GAA need to show them that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable.

Leave them throw their teddys out - the new lads can drive on with the hurling while they have their little hissy fit. If Cork can field a team we can field a team...throwing the development squad out of competition will only allow the players to win. It would be like saying, "either ye field the whingers or ye don't field anyone..."

+1 very true, if Cork were thrown out then the players on strike would be winning, let them see that Cork Hurling and the Gaa as a whole is bigger than them and despite what they might think can survive without them, personaly i think its all irrelevant anyway because they will be back but it will make it all the sweeter when we whip in Semple! The 2008 panel wont be resigning just yet but we will retire them once and for all

:rolleyes: lol, the sad thing is, I almost hope you're right!! The problem is, any time these "stars" get beaten now they are just gona put it on Ger McCarthy and Frank Murphy. It'll never be because they're not up to it - oooh nooo - it couldn't be that...

Yes. Except we currently have a team, so history will not repeat itself.

Cork will surely play their B team which will still be decent enough and could eve surprise a few people with some good results. However if this team is played in the CShip I really do fear for them.
Cork is a mess now.

More like the F team. The current squad is nowhere near our B team - its the reserves of the reserve's reserve's reserve's rese...
