North Tipp & District League 2009/10

[SallyMan]

Well sallyman.. We ( clough ) are playing ye saturday evening in the league and like ye we are still missing alot of players ..
What are ye expecting from this game.. Win / draw .. ??

Wonder why it is that lots of teams are missing players for the start of the season.. It seems to happen us every year..

Id say hoping for a draw but really expecting to lose mr man, were missing at least as many as mid week with holidays and lads gone traveling for the summer to the US etc.

I dont think weve been missing as many lads as this year before, wed normally be missing 2 or 3 but we really are missing a lot, im not even counting lads that are focusing on hurling in the seven missing against celtic.



@daz22
I think well agree to disagree, we had some very good chances aswell, your keeper made at least 3 - 4 really good saves and we also hit the crossbar, ye destroyed us in the first 20 - 30 minutes in fairness, we werent prepared well enough and by the time we got anyway into the game we were 3-0 down.

Yeah our centre forward is a good player alright, but to be honest our best player is paidi ryan crouch, had 19 goals in 18 games last season, mostly from midfield, hes missing for the next week or two on holidays, so hes obviously a massive loss.

@celticlads
It was daz that actually mentioned missing players, i was only chipping in with our numbers aswell. I was only stating a fact about not having the strenght in depth. Not trying to blame celtic for that at all. Its our first year in the premier, its a learning curve, im just stating our second team needs to improve to provide good cover for the A's.

@Noli
Its great to have a squad of 16 / 18, but im afraid the situation in our own club is that no one wants to be no 12, and theyre unwilling to stay turning up if they are. We dont have the underage structure in place to provide new players every year, thats coming and hopefully in the next few years we will have a youths team which will provide great competition for the senior teams. Thats a big difference between the likes of celtic / town and some of the other teams in the premier, they have good underage structures providing new talent every year.

[Noli]

I know the first or A team is deemed the most important team in the club but unless you have a proper structure in a club the club will always struggle, underage football is vital that the right coaches are picked and its mentored properly otherwise you will always fail in the future.

The club im involved in has at least one team if not two teams from u7 all the way thru to u16 and youths,this lets lads(and girls)develop at the right time so there not skipping building blocks in there football education.

This will mean in a few years the seniors will have a conveyor belt of lads coming thru and a point to the other poster who said no one like being no 12 well thats just tough either the lad realises that its a squad game and once the effort is put in he'll get his go because its very rare to have the same starting eleven available every week as lads have to work/hurl/holidays/family/hungover ;)

[bawn79]

Anyone know the fixtures for the weekend?

[daz22]

all fixtures on aertel page 444. updated too. Ballymackey away to clonmore at 2.00

[bawn79]

We lost 3-2 to Thurles Town, they deserved it on the balance of play. They had a lot more chances than us. After all their chances we had one chance with literally the last kick of the game but their keeper made a fine save.

On the other hand on a smaller pitch I think they would beatable.

[daz22]

Celtic V Town in 3 weeks time, very early in the season. be good game.who ever gets head start here puts themselves in great position in the league as MJC following week,MSC and FAI kick in after that.so one team could be playing catch up

was the 1st division final any good ,quality wise?

[daz22]

premier shield final in thurles last night. Celtic 5-0 Rearcross

Id say it wasnt great to watch. Were still a work in progress towards playing "real football".

atleast your trying compared to others and your schoolboys are going in the right direction too.

[mr. man]

Just out of curiosity dazz... Who are others ?

Schoolboys are vital to a club progress and its great to see bawn.. Ye are doing it right and proper..

A bit late in replying but sure..
Hope ye will get your players back soon or i fear for ye.. Sound lads and i like to see ye do well.

[daz22]

am just look at numerous junior clubs in general, not pointing out anyone in particular. many have no schoolboys. ardcroney are another club doing great schoolboy work. thurles town none etc. also many of these teams not teaching players to play football but just lump the ball forward.what you think??

One way around it would to simply say in 3 seasons time that unless you have an U-18 then you wont be admitted to the Premier Division.

Maybe leave it that the highest place team in the first division with an U-18 team gets promoted.

[celticlads]

Well sallyman first win in the premier whats the ambition for the year.Clough and Blackcastle dropping points already not a good start for them.I know its early in the season but the league wont be leaving Nenagh this year either any thougths?

Have to agree with ya celticlads.. Title will staying in nenagh
We were bad against our bogey team moneygal.. 3 Nil down after 50 mins.. We got it back to 3 . 3 with 15 mins left. But then had to play with 10 men ( Player injured ). Conceded a stupid goal with 5 mins left.. our own fault we lost this..
Well done sallypark on their first premier win..

[Big Ears]

Our C team beat Kilcommon 2-1 in the Shield semi tonight, should have won by a lot more too.

it's been a great start to the season for all 3 Nenagh AFC teams, with penalties unfortunately being our undoing again with the A's.

There's a very good chance all 3 could win league titles this year.

Who scored for the C -Team ?

[Big Ears]

Who scored for the C -Team ?

Tommy Mitchell got the first and McKenna scored a late winner which in truth was a cross, but considering they should have won 7/8-1 they deserved it.

Edit: forgot Mikey Duff got a cracking goal late on, it finished 3-1 Nenagh.

[mr. man]

We play Blackcastle this weekend and its allready vital we get 3 points out of this game.. We are getting our key players back gradually which is good.
Celtic awat to rearcross might be a good game.. Hopefully rearcross might get something from this although i doubt it..
Nenagh will beat moneygal easily imo..
Sallypark to beat toome i reckon..

we should beat rearcross but they be trying to put one over after the cup final the other night.blackcastle played okay against nenagh last week and had chances to take something from that game but a draw or loss for either of ye and that both your league hopes gone after 2,3 games because of previous results.
it could be too late by the time ye get those players back as if drop more than 6-9 points in a season you wont finish in top 2.
i think ye and blackcastle will be a draw and agree with all other predictions although hope moneygall do us a favour!!!

[daz22]

beat rearcross tonight 3-1, we were poor but still won

[Big Ears]

Nenagh 8-0 Moneygall

We were poor for quite a lot of the first half, and although never really got going fully we livened up a bit in the second. Some very good finishing though.

Nenagh v Nenagh Celtic in 2 weeks now.

[mr. man]

Clough 2 Blackcastle 3

That us out of the league now if we were ever in it that is !!
A bit unlucky again conceding 2 goals in the first half from deflected free kicks.. 2 nil down at half time gave us too much to do..
Another long season ahead of us now i feel..

[SallyMan]

Good first win last weekend, probably could have been more. But this weekend we dropped points at home to toome, who to be honest we definately should have beaten. It took us a while to get going but we scored an own goal and they got a fairly dubious penalty to be honest, we had plenty of chances, missed a penalty of our own, hit the post and had the ball cleared off the line 3 times. We need to get more consistent but the target this year is to survive and i think we will do that easily enough. I think we will definately get points off toome away and moneygall seem to be there for the taking at the moment. It looks like it will be very tight for relegation at the bottom with 7 teams on 3 points.

On the league, theres no doubt its between the two nenagh teams in my mind, they both play by far the best football so its well deserved in my book, you only have to look at how well their B & C teams are doing to know that the clubs are doing something right.

Ya big game already,winner will take a bit of pressure of themselves for awhile.We have to get over our bogey team this week first [Clough].Should be a good game just hope it goes to penalties we'll surely win them:D

[mr. man]

ye should have no problem beating us this weekend.. Half of our team are in Dublin !! We have had some bad start to the league allready !! Tis a disaster !

[mr. man]

Match off .. Celtic were awarded the game.. We were missing 10 players for this game and we tried to get the game off there 2 weeks ago however the powers that be would not let us.. Pure typical !!

cant keep making excuses about missing lads because every team is missing players. maybe ye should have a look at the players ye have rather than blaming others for not calling it off. we all would love to go to dublin etc but the fact was there was matches on so lads need to get priorities right.

on another note town v celtic this weekend should be a cracker. any thoughts on this lads.

[mr. man]

Its not an excuse .. its a fact that we were missing players..

Nenagh AFC V Peakevilla interesting tie

[mr. man]

Nenagh AFC V Peakevilla is definatly the pick out of this draw .. Should be a good game.. Think Peake has inproved an awful lot recently..

[celticlads]

I heard scouter is back for the derby,good player but how would you feel if he got a start ahead of the lads that have been training all year any thoughts big ears

Not really, it's down to the manager to pick the team and what he says goes.

Well any prediction for the game, have ye a full squad to choose from?

[Big Ears]

Andy is obviously out injured, and Willie Darcy is out(broken arm).
Other than that I think we have everyone.

As for a prediction I think we'll win but then again I would do, and I'd assume you'd think the opposite.

Hopefully the nice weather keeps up and we have good conditions for a proper game of football.

Ya id be hopefull of a win but would settle for a draw.Weather forecast is good so football should be good on the day.We are missing Stevie but everyone else is fit so only 1 thing left to say ROLL ON SUNDAY.:D

[daz22]

celtic and town 1 all. maybe a fair result, both sides had chances but celtic probably having the better chances and ya i am biased,some great saves from both keepers, savo from archie and aidan from kelly in particular. both sides dominated for periods on a very hot day. referees i think did okay, maybe better than normally!!!good bit of banter from both sidelines too.also best of luck to our b team in the final next sunday!!!

[ponyobrien]

Can anyone tell me how Clodiagh Rangers are going this season?

Ya i think a draw was a fair result ,some chances missed on both side spellman and archie.Some good football played at times but would be a bit worry that we missed a good chance in that we didnt take advantage of the extra man in the last 20 minutes but that said a good result for us away form home.

[celticlads]

Can anyone tell me how Clodiagh Rangers are going this season?
They are 1st division now,only a couple of games gone not sure where they are in the table.We're ye only formed in 2003 ?

[mr. man]

Can anyone tell me how Clodiagh Rangers are going this season?

They are third in division 1 after 3 games .. Won 2 and lost 1..
Having played the 2 of ye recently enough ye should have no problem beating them in the FAI..

[daz22]

they are fairly poor and many of their players still involved in hurling at the moment but even with a full side, it should be very comfortable win for ye

[ponyobrien]

They are 1st division now,only a couple of games gone not sure where they are in the table.We're ye only formed in 2003 ?

Yeah only 2003, but we have a history dating back to late 70's. We have been through a lot of mergers over the years, the most recent in 2003 when St. Olivers Boys joined with Clonmel Evergreen. Thanks for the info.

[ponyobrien]

There are no easy cup ties, and I'm sure they will come south to win

I would think the same apart from the Borris and Nenagh game think Borris might edge it and also I think Thurles will beat our B team, I hope our B team pull off a shock but dont think they will after all Thurles did beat them 6-0 in the league only a few weeks ago.

[daz22]

just wondering will they replay the rearcross v nenagh game after the floodlights failed with 20 min gone in the game?nenagh leading 2-0 at the time.
