The chickens are already coming home to roost after the GAA's decision to allow Cork to play in this year's league despite not fielding in their first two games.
Wexford are appealing the fact that points were awarded to the two sides who Cork didn't play, Kilkenny and Waterford, both of whom have qualified for the play-offs.
There are hints too that Dublin and Wexford may have to play off for relegation despite the Dubs' better points difference than the Model men.
Then there is confusion about whether the points difference between Cork and Waterford will be a factor in the draw for the league quarter finals.
Some of this stuff is just nonsense but there is no doubt that the awarding of points to Waterford did help the Decies to the finishing line.
All of this could and should have been avoided if the GAA had held the line and banned Cork from taking part in the competition.
This episode will continue to cause bad feeling with the football leagues too very much in the balance.
All eyes will be on the decision coming out of Croke Park this week on all these play-off issues.
