@conormeany Should be a midweek and Friday night game every week. Great way to spend a Wednesday evening 🙌

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@BballIrl @Maigh_Cuilinn That’s not grant Olsson in the pic 🙈

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@RonanCantSee @BballIrl Yep cutting out with 1 min left in a when that’s goes to OT is disastrous It would turn you off paying for it going forward.

@conormeany That’s me there now 😂

The referee also reversed a decision at the start of the 3rd RE an incident that happened in the middle of the second. I’ve never seen that one either , a night full of learning for me 😂

[jack scully @jacklaois]

Got another technical tonight for gesturing . Can someone tell me what we can and can’t do with our hands please?

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@nicoyifan Aggressive gestures is what is says there. Putting my hands in the air was what I was given a technical foul. Is that aggressive ? Is that disrespectful. If it is I’m in bother 🙈

[jack scully @jacklaois]

Disappointing this is happening in our game but good to see BIs governance is working and they are holding clubs accountable.

[Basketball Ireland @BballIrl]

The National League Committee (NLC) has imposed sanctions on Maree BC, after the club was charged with a rules breach ahead of the 2024/25 season.

The club have five days to appeal the decision to the National Appeals Committee (NAC).

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@conormeany Absolutely they should be exempt. Underage transfers should not affect SL and NL transfers and I agree with the point RE Carlow, common sense should prevail here but I doubt it will

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@conormeany We are having the same issue with transfers from Carlow. We have 4 total but only 3 have been approved. The 4th player has played 7 of last seasons in Portlaoise, bit of a joke. He’s a homegrown player, Carlow is no longer in the league, there are no other NL teams in the region

@Donosully1O We emailed area board nearly 10 days ago

[jack scully @jacklaois]

Update on below- to date absolutely nothing has been done about this incident! Area board and opposition club both washing their hands of it. I was the one who witnessed the racial abuse but not one person has actually asked me for a report of what I saw .

[jack scully @jacklaois]

Today while coaching an u16 game one of my players was racially abused by an oppositions players parent. As a coach I defended my player, the referees decided to DQ and eject me from the hall. How this sort of behaviour is happening in a basketball game in Ireland is worrying.

@Nic21121970 @anaflaviiiz @BarryWhyte85 You are one uneducated 🤡

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@KatieBlack66 @DaveDoran88 Nope- don’t think so. Only begging for abuse

[colin finn @colinfinn1]

Due to go on holidays Friday. Waiting on our 4 month olds first passport & just been told by @PassportIRL that they can't process the application because the Garda Station didn't answer the phone to verify the documents submitted. They phoned 6 times. @MichealMartinTD @gardainfo

@nicoyifan Happened in Kilkenny League Top 4 Final yesterday

[jack scully @jacklaois]

@Donosully1O Exactly what we did, we left the game in 2nd quarter - 15 points up
