Limerick Premier Division 2008/09

[paddy angelo]

I am hearing that all games tonight have been brought forward to 6pm to facilitate a referees seminar with the FAI. I hope all clubs will stand together on this one and tell both bodies where to get off. They are treating clubs with contempt expecting lads to finish work, rush off to meet at the designated grounds, probably not even get a warm up done. Risk of injury and dangerous to have people panicking about reaching a pitch in time not to mind the short notice given about this.
Tell these guys where to go once and for all. I implore all clubs tonight to come together and tell referees that they are playing at 6.30pm or not at all. They get well paid for this, some players have to forfeit an hours wages for midweek games. Time to get sensible lads and put a stop to this nonsense.
was talking to a commitee member of the ref's this morning and he told me they wanted the matches called off but the league won't call them off instead brought foward the kick off times

[abbeyvale]

tough job the offside for a ref on their own. with everybody calling it....
i will give them that !

especially when calling it from the centre cirlce

carew 2 corbally 0
regonial 1 dromroe 2
granville 1 killmallock 2


carew 2 corbally 0
carew 2 up at half time goals from ger moyles and ger ned in fairness carew missed alot of chances and if the score finished 6 nil to carew i doubt corbally would complain

Janesboro 1-1 Pike

good game tonight it was a good battle very hard in them conditions but i thought a draw in the end was a fair result..:ball:

[alidiei]

biggest piece of crap i have ever read on here... i to have to leave work early to facilitate your games as i work in nenagh, three weeks ago matches started at 6pm was there any people on here upset at that No.. the lack of respect to referees is absoultely shocking lads and the sooner you realise that then things can move on. And you wonder why referees leave and notmany new ones coming in... attitudes like this make me wonder why i do it
dont mind them jock i have your back:D:p;)

[alidiei]

let the relegation battle begin..its going to be very interesting to see who will go down:ball:

[Balbec77]

very poor game any team could of won granville went 1 up with 25 minutes to go but we battled on and got a bit of luck with 5 mins left when a cross drifted into the top corner and then we pushed hard and got the winner with 2 mins left :D:D:D

[trueview6]

will do...boro started well but with in 6 or 7 minutes were 1 down great finish from john boyle from about 8 yards..poor goal for us to conceed..a few minutes later smakers pulled off a great save to keep the score at 1 nill..pike came into it after that with a few half chances but boro got a lucky goal from Mark keane with the help of a deflection..pike had a great chance to go in at the half 2-1 when wayne o donavans shot was well blocked by dom fitz...Second half wasnt great pike had about 7 corners but never looked like scoring..boro had a great chance when danny hanley put in a great cross but shane clarkes header was very well bloked by pa magary..pikes had a chance near the end but moloneys shot was well saved by glash..As i said i thought the draw was a fare result:ball:

Lads who actually won, regional or dromore?

[Football Alien]

carew 2 corbally 0
regonial 1 dromroe 2
granville 1 killmallock 2


carew 2 corbally 0

killmallock win again very interesting now. and a fantastic result for dromroe

Corbally had a good few chances in the first half as well so be realistic, six nil is well off the mark!!! carew took the lead after another goalkeeper error from the corbally keeper, good finish for the 2nd goal, 2nd half was poor to be fair but carew were full value for the win, well deserved, that should see them safe now

on a sidenote, fantastic facilities carew have up there, well impressed!!

[KilmallockYouth]

Yea big games next thursday night and a big game sunady aswell between Dromore and Granville. Kilmallock starting to scrape out the results they need to stay up at the right time, great result against granville last night and went 10 mins left in dat game you would never have called a kilmallock win. However with a home game against Dromore next thursday a win is a must and some of the players that have been called up from the B team to support the A team in recent weeks wont be available as the B team are playing at the same time and only two wins away from winning there own league. How two Junior teams from the 1 club can be playing at the same time baffles me:confused:.

Lads who actually won, regional or dromore? Regional won 2-1

anyone know what the ldmc are doing with matches for the long weekend (may weekend), would be good to know well in advance...
sat evening would be best....sunday or monday morning would be a nightmare...

anyone know what games fairview, pike and regional have left?

[Elton John]

1 all, the ref should have a good think about hin performance yesterday evening. It was a disgrace to say the least. It would have been comical if Aisling got the 3 points they deserved but when the decisions are manufactured to insure a draw it goes beyond funny.

[leather]

Regional play boro next thursday...after that boro have Carew x 2, Granville Killmallock,dromore... boro have to play all the teams at the bottom end of the league. should be fun..

[whitestripe]

Very hard to motivate a team that keep their discipline only to be penalised for it, still no point going on about it.

do people really care about the magners league right now as munster are ****ing it.
would you rather have a 2 nights free (satuday and sunday) or watch munster and have to play either sunday or monday morning...?

[whitestripe]

who was the ref?

Don't know the mans name, always found him to be quiet a pleasant chap.

[Happy Zapper]

Get off the fence Robbie, you know how poor it was.

Its the Heineken cup semi final the long weekend, isn't it?

woops you are right , sorry...

any suggestions when our games should be one. friday evening would be perfect...

[Roadend]

Friday would be great but they'll probably be on Sunday for this reason

Agreed the ref was an absolute disgrace he hasn't a clue ( J Carey), the worst Ive seen all year. But to say Aishling deserved the 3 points is a joke. Balla had 3 goals disallowed, 2 cleared off the line and 2 off the post. The Aisling goal was a bit of a fluke as it went straight in from a cross. Balla were well on top but the game became a joke due to the ludicrous decions for both sides.He should be no way near a premier match. He booked players and didnt even take the numbers, when subs were made he didnt even check who was coming on or off just said "come on" and stayed in the middle of the pitch.All that either sides defenders had to do was call for offside and he gave it.No wonder players get frustrated with that type of farcical refreeing.

[Roadend]

Haha, J Carey strikes again.....

The 2 goals disallowed were clearly off side and wre only struck into the net after the whistle had gone anyway. Aisling's back 4 were comfortable and played the off side well.

The 1 cleared off the line and the 1 that hit the post came from 2 of the twenty free kicks and 10 corners he awarded in the last 15 minutes of the game.

J sheehan's strike was one of the better goals you would see, to call it a bit of a fluke is wrong.

The players he booked should have seen straight red cards, any other ref in town would have given these players straight red cards.

The Balla goal came from a free kick that was obvious to everyone at the game it was the other way.

The balla right back could not take a throw in and fouled every single time. The ref did nothing about it.

A balla supporter walked onto the pitch and had words with the ref during the game?

take all these into account and balla should have been down to 9 players and they would not have equalised, the only pressure the aisling came under was from the countless free kicks the ref gave?

[dared]

Haha, J Carey strikes again.....
Dont get me started Roadend.... :mad:

[referee]

I dont blame J Carey its not his fault hes getting these premier games. Hes doing his best but its just the fact his best is nowhere good enough for premier. I blame the person/people who are giving the premier matchs to the likes of these referees when in some occasions they have the TOP refs in town doing lower divisions. why not have your best refs doing the top matchs. It makes for better games to play in/watch because its not all centered around a bad referee, less complaining that the ref was not good enough and less excusses that the ref cost us the game over a bad decision.

We have about 6or7 good refs in town why not try keep them doing the top games. It shouldnt be to hard to sort out

3 goals were disallowed as the third was a free kick from Frank Lee which he disallowed. Aishlings back four did play well but all they had to do was call for offside and he gave it as he judged them all from the half way line.
If the two incidents you mentioned of players being sent off the two Aishling players should have gone also.The Balla goal did come from a free kick but desevedly so. The full back not taking a throw in hardly effected the game and the Balla supporter as you call him actually picked up the referees whistle and handed it back to him.
The conduct of Aishlings right full was also terrible as he kicked a second ball onto the pitch as he was trying to get back to defend and called the ref to say there was a second ball on the pitch so as to break up a Balla attack
