Limerick Premier Division 2008/09

Lads, whats happened to Balla lately. Somcouldmatche bad defeats!, is it a case of a bad run of form or what?

have to say they havent had much luck lately.Carew game could have gone either way including shoot out. FAI match players that were missing and loosing home advantage would hurt any team.

[faces]

Agree with what?

i think he is a new signing just being smart.

Balla were poor in the mjc against Fairview. Ok they were missing Dunphy and Daly but hte team that played never looked like beating fairview. This team could be on their last legs. There are a lot of old players involved in the team. It needs new players to be brought in to freshen things up.

they are still only 3 points off the lead in the premier.
agree to a certain extent it needs some younger players to be brought through.
next few matches will tell a tale,the players will either put their heads down and work hard or put the legs up on the couch and not bother with training.
i think the last thing they needed right now was a munster senior cup match,especially away.
can't honestly see any benefit in junior teams entering that comp.
on the flip side,they won't have any distractions(bar that msc!!!) and could conceiveably rack up a sizeable lead inthe league if the other contenders remain in either of the mjc or fai cups!!!!
seen happy afew times before!!!!

You cant be serious on their last legs.I think there are 3 of the squad over the age of 27 or 28 which would be the average age of the team.Also missing were Rob earls Frank lee and Paudie hickey.including daly and dunphy thats half the team that would normally start.

Ok maybe not on their last legs but they are in serious threat of falling behind the top teams in the next year or 2 unless they can attract or bring through some younger quality players. The 3 players you just mentioned that were missing are over 30. Add to that Gareth ryan, Keith Fitz and Ray Mc, and its an old team. Most of them would start when available. I just think that they need some new young players to come through to push some of the older players for a place but thats not happening and that was seen on sunday.

The manager is obviously sticking with the old guard.Robert brock,dave o'leary,jamie o sullivan and jossie are all round 23 i think,then shane doran,paul quinn,spud and dunphy cant be more than 27/28 so they could have the bones of a young enough team there.Still with alot of experience.

Maybe thats their problem, sticking with the old guard and also bringing some more of them back. Im not sure O' Leary is still there otherwise he would surely have played right full at the weekend. Dodo isnt get a look in. Ya the others are still young and are good players. But its my opinion that they need a few more young/youngish players to come in, in the next year to stay at the top. Just wondering if they can get those players though?

Dunphy is surely older than 27/28 isnt he? also Conway is 30 (I think).
I agree with Gaidin on this one.............

You sure about the ages of Keane / Smiggy / Daly / Jossy / Dunphy & Conway
I would have said 2 years older for each of all of them except Conway who I'm nearly sure has just turned 30.

[abbeyvale]

Balla were beaten 1-0 in Cork in the MSC.

[HuRya]

Balla were beaten 1-0 in Cork in the MSC.

comments like that will be certain to fire carew up when they are playing pike.
thought i posted this already,but,no sign of it on here.
credit to carew park on their facilities,
tea,coffee,soup and sandwiches available too!!!!fair play to 'em

[Goals4fun]

most teams are fired up when playing pike .

i would not associate 'the only 1' with any club, he is 'the only 1' stirring on here and probably 'the only 1' we should all ignore :D

fair enough....thought as much,now you've confirmed it.
not long on this site but i have seen a few of his/her posts and he/she seems to have an opinion,mostly bad ones,one every thing being posted.

[HuRya]

I saw all 3 Limerick based matches....Aisling were far superior against them out in LIT..They got their tactics spot on and destroyed them on the ground and with pace....The same goes for the Fairview match.Balla were no match for the view on the deck and couldn't handle their pace and movement off the ball..
They were, however, unlucky against Carew Pk.. The match could have gone either way but it seemed Lady Luck was shining on Carew for their first ever match at their new grounds and were just destined to win..
Still think Balla will be there or there abouts come May - as the obvious lack of fixture congestion will help them over the likes of Pike, Fairview, Aisling and Regional

[Monster]

I wouldnt say there season is over - last time they were knocked out of both major competitions very early did they not go on and win the league, the touhy and the lawson??

[Fairkop]

hard to see balla winning anything this season in their current state.out of the two big cups it will be interesting to see how they react.

[Football Alien]

What are the fixtures for this weekend lads, any interesting games?

[oscar]

only one game down this weekend,Wembley V Carew
