Limerick Premier Division 2009/10

[tedd11]

whose complaining alan,its a hypethetical question.i personally dont think that squad of players would have finished in the top three.think a couple of them have a league medal with the boro but thats it,because pike and fairview have won everything since.why havent these players signed for view or pike.?????????????????????

because only 11 players can play for both them teams blackjack.there are probably 40 players good enough to play for them teams in limerick but alot of lads would rather play every week.winning trophies means nothing if warming the bench half the time.you may as well be over the wall with the supporters cause you arent contributing being one of ten subs.its ridiculous.there are lads down in fairview with 3 F.A.I medals who havent played 30 mins in a game except for maybe a first round against kilfinane.in the latter rounds them teams pick themselves and managers wont change if the team is winning no matter how crap individuals are playing.pike and fairview arent that much better than everybody else.the are just way better consistency wise.they play the whole season where there challengers in recent years lose 2 games in january and are gone.if regional,boro,aisling be consistent for a full season it would make for a very interesting league.a big part of that consistency is having players willing to be subs to get there hands on a medal.you can lose 3 or 4 and pike/fairview will have replacements every bit as good.thats whats winning them leagues and they will continue to do so with huge squads.
I personally think the LDMC should cap the amount of players you can sign to 18 and if your going through a bad injury spell mits time to call in lads from the B team.it will make the league more competitive

Great Call.........

[blackjack]

Great Call.........
guarantee you there are 6or 7 clubs in the premier league who signed more players than pike this year.so lads get yere heads out of the clouds.capping the amount of players, what if you havent got a b team.what would make the league more competitive would be for clubs like aisling,regional,boro to a certain extent to start putting out their strongest teams in all games,not just the chosen few.aisling are doing it for years and getting away it.

[dines08]

Suppose it's a reflection on the club at the end of the day but the point is that the top teams are getting stronger by picking the best from around. Everyone else is falling behind and it's not going to change. Winning the league and Touhy isn't enough for them anymore. Signing 20-25 players and going for the FAI. Great for the big clubs but everyone else is suffering for it, including Limerick

If wembley win and corbally lose also assuming Kilmallock win as they seem most likely to do so will it go to a play off or goal difference

corbally v fairview OFF

[gommie06]

corbally v fairview OFF

Why is it called off?nobody in our club has heard anything about it!

[white line]

Why is it called off?nobody in our club has heard anything about it!


prob because fairview have an FAI final on sunday cant expect the view to play tomorrow with a massive game on sunday. its only fair that its off view now will be able to play a full team against ye and make the last round of games fair.

[white line]

remember your dealing with ldmc not fai and i can't see them calling the match off cos those fixtures have been made before the fai date was changed



i know that but even the LDMC would help out a limerick club with the biggest game in junior football in the country going ahead on sunday LDMC want the fai cup back in limerick aswell.
and to be honest if it did go ahead tomorrow how would that be fair on wembly and kilmallock the view would put out a B team against corbally its the fair thing to do IMO.

sorry lads i was told by a view player that the game was off must inform him he was wrong :)

[whitestripe]

Aisling will be putting out the strongest team available to them, between injuries, suspensions and players away we are down players for tomorrow. If the game went ahead as planned on the 30th May we would have had a stronger squad available.

[whitestripe]

Your right UL will not have a team going out there.

[white line]

ldmc also wanted the final in limerick as well and fairview objected to it,they wanted turners cross so why would ldmc help them out now.



well if the LDMC had a pitch worthy of an FAI final or LOI football maybe it would be on in jackman. the LDMC have nobody to blame but themselves with all the money there fleasing out of clubs all over the town and county with there yellow card fines not forgetting the season fees they can well afford to look after that pitch but they refuse.

[Daydreamer]

I just heard today that Fairview were docked nine points in the Premier league a few years ago for not Registering Robbie Kelliher correctly. Pike were definately the best team in town but surely if a precedent is set the ldmc should stick to their guns and dock points or was it a different story with colm carroll. did he not need to be regradwed?

[leather]

I am not knocking jackman, just stating what i consider to be the facts,been to jackmann for 4 fixtures this season...pitch is poor , involved with ldmc team a few years ago and the pitch was even worse...had a player get injured during warm up because of the surface...compare it with turners cross........and yes the boro did play there this season and were beaten. By the way there is no bigger critic of our own facilities than myself....all you can do is try too improve them as best you can...

[white line]

I've read a number of your posts and most of them seem to be provocative.You've had ago at Aisling,Pike,Abbey Rovers and the LDMC.It seems your only reason for posting on this forum is to antagonise,berate and provoke reaction.If you don't have reasonable opinions and genuine comments to make then you have no business posting the tripe you seem only capable of!!......get a life,get a girlfriend,do something else that amuses you but stay off Foot.ie,,,your last remark is bordering on liable and should be dealt with accordingly!!


what are on about i only asked a poster who bought up abbey on what happened them how there in 2B when they had all them good players.
as for pike i agree with you
as for the girlfriend remark mmmm ill do it :)
as for stay off foot its all about opinions if you dont like them tough so NO.
welcome to the boards we are going to be great friends i can see it ;)

[thomas72]

predictions tonight lads

Wembley 1 v 3 Pike
Kilmallock 2 v 1 Aisling
Carew 1 v 1 Balla
Corbally 2 v 1 View

[the bandit]

wembley 2- 1 pike
kilmallock 3 -1 aisling
carew 2 - 1 balla
corbally 1 - 2 fairview

Can't see wembley beating pike,agree with the rest though.

[Happy Zapper]

Can't see wembley beating pike,agree with the rest though.

Not sure Kilmallock will get it that easy against Aisling - when was the last time Kilmallock beat Aisling? Also heard Aisling have a better side travelling than most people think. Then again Kilmallock have more to play for. Will be an interesting end to the season.

[whitestripe]

As i said we are missing alot of players, Steve Goggin, Dan Goggin, Alan Quill, Gordon Roe, John Meskell, Anto McDonald, Shane Murphy, Des Keenan but we still have 15 players travelling this evening.

[thomas72]

well its all down to tonight best of luck to all teams involved its a really tough ask for wembley pike have 18 or 19 very good players but you never know there at home.
i can see kilmallock getting the 3 pts with UL havin lads away or working
iv a sneaky feeling corbally wil get what they need tonight against a weak fairview team they have been in great form they need 1 more good performance out of them.

[thomas72]

carew 0 balla 2

carew had i think 4 A players playing rest were B players 0-0 at half time balla scored on 70mins through conway tacked on there 2nd in the last kick of the game


wembley 2 pike 2

from what i heard wembley were 2-1 up pike levelled 2-2 wembley missed a pen in the last min dont know what the others scores were to know how big of a miss that was.

[mulla]

carew 0 balla 2

ya but if kilmallock drew wembley would of got a playoff or if corbally lost it could even be a 3 way tie.
waiting for official scores to come in to see how big a pen miss that was.

sorry ,thought wembley were 2 points away from third from bottom so it was either win or bust for them to have any chance,could be wrong though

yep they had to win

[thomas72]

corbally 2 fairview b 1 :)

[van der wheil]

corbally 2 fairview b 1 :)

And an understrength B team at that

[gommie06]

corbally 2 fairview b 1 :)

haha thats prob fair but we'll take it!

[blinkx]

Wembley were 2-1 up with 15mins to go. I left at that point so I can only imagine Pike equalised and Wembley missed a penalty? Pike were missing a few but a decent team non the less.

[thomas72]

haha thats prob fair but we'll take it!


your dead right congrats gommie ye put together a great run in the last couple of months.
lads nobody could blame fairview for fielding there B team biggest game in junior football on sunday.

[Roadend]

Wembley would have gone down, after their draw, even if Corbally lost so its immaterial what team Fairview had out for a finish

[chief1212]

fairview did put out dere b team but corbally started with 2 b 3c and 1 minor and the bench was 2 minors 1 ateam and 1 cteam so i think it was a great result for corbally

[KilmallockYouth]

Kilmallock 3 AA 0 Paul Doona(2,1 pen) Seanie Kelly(1)

[Football Alien]

fairview had no a team players last night but from what i saw they had 5 minors playing and the rest B players, open to correction though!!

Corbally were understrength as well but it was an entertaining game, both sides did their best to play decent football, well done to the Corbally lads for sticking at it since Xmas and doing what was required to stay up, after the results last night i think they finish 7th!

[Super Rovers]

stop trying to stir it lads. wembley went down. its simple as that. its disappointng but sometimes football is a cruel game.

Maybe if other premier teams put out their strongest teams at the end of the season the bottom of the table would look different now.

i don't think anyone would dispute that,but all you can do is beat what is put out in front of you and corbally kilmallock and carew did that so they deserve credit for that, as for weakened teams thats obviously down to players attitude and there respective clubs of course for letting them away with it

[whistleblower]

In fairness lads, this happens the world over and not just in Junior soccer. You only have to look at Fulham for a prime example. They were in the Europa Cup, nothing to play for in the League, handing points to teams in the relegation zone - , almost impossible to motivate lads to compete 100% when there's nothing riding on it. The likes of Corbally etc were primed for all there games, and faced some teams, not all, that didn;t really have much to play for. As for Wembley, don't think the eratic layout of fixtures did them any favours. Too many weeks without matches makes it very hard to keep a thing going. Good luck to them next year and to the teams that stayed up.

[Football MaD]

In fairness i think that the three teams who escaped relegation deserved to stay up, wembley were unlucky yes, But fair play to kilmallock, corbally and carew.

ya tis hard to be hard on fella's who reckon they have done there work and helped there team stay up early in the season,at the end of the day its not a job so what can you do

Agree, happens every year, it happened summerville 2 yrs ago when granville picked up somethin like 15 points in the last 6 league fixtures, they were beating the likes of regional, balla and fairview when the top end of the league had become irrelevent, it was a bitter feeling at the time, im sure wembley will be feelin pretty sick about it after havin a pretty solid 2 seasons in premier.
