Limerick Desmond League 2009/10

[buddygeary23]

Not that i know of..i seen someone saying that mark doherty and daniel power are coming back in the transfer thread but i didn't hear anything..dont believe its true at all

[JohnnyTheJockey]

Great wind for NCW, looks like they are turning the season around after an indifference start. They would be a good outside bet now at this stage. With the RAIN there will hardly be games til after christmas at this rate. Some of the Pitches will be destroyed....The Season could run well into June again at this rate

[Shannon Boy]

Well Buddygeary did you score against Rockmount?

[buddygeary23]

Newcastle west afc secretary maire mccoy passed away monday night aged only 29years old..rest in peace maire

Rip.maire.

[studsup]

sky blue or anyone, What's the story for the F.A.I. game for this Sunday? Will Rathkeale be playable? With the amount of rain falling all last night and still going this morning let's be realistic here there's no way it'll be playable.

[Ask me tom]

That`ll be up to the ref to decide Studsup, another weekend of travelling with nothing at the end of it. Bloody rain.

Well if it's the same ref who inspected the pitch out there two weeks ago then we'll take it that it's off :D

This is the third week in a row that this game has been down for decision and last week in the Limerick District League a few clubs were contacted on the Friday to make a call on their pitch being playable or not because they were under pressure from the F.A.I. to get the Third Round games played so surely the Desmond League will have to get Rathkeale to make a call on their pitch today or at the latest tomorrow.

[Ask me tom]

I dunno Studsup. I`m pretty sure Rathkeale would be well within their rights to get an inspection on the pitch Sunday so it wouldn`t be switched to Newmarket because they wanted it off for some reason.

Ya we will inspect 30mins before like the ref done last sunday in Newmarket.;) No id say the match will be on in the Desmond leagues pitch in Askeaton great pitch there and is always playable will keep ye posted about it studs up. Will be making a final decision early tomorrow.:)

OK sky blue... Look as you saw yourself our pitch was in tip-top condition and 100% playable last Sunday, any other ref in the Clare League would have played the match without any hesitation. Let's just say it wasn't the first time that ref called off a game when a pitch was perfect...

[buddygeary23]

newcastle west v broadford utd in the munster junior cup has been called off due to the death of newcastle west secretary..

[Harry Lime]

Some action from the Youths v Cork this afternoon. Cork winning 2-0 after an hour when I left.

[Ask me tom]

Glin and Shannonside should be a good game with Glin being back to full strength after the football.

Good luck to Rathkeale hope ye do the business sunday.

Newcastlewest Rvrs will cause Askeaton problems up there, I can see it being a draw.

Newcastle should have a bit too much for Broadford I would think.

What are Kilarney Celtic like? - we have them on Sunday in the FAI

[Ask me tom]

I have never seen them play at junior level, they would be in the Kerry league.

[Hairy Legs]

what shape is NCW Rovers pitch in with the bad weather? Will they have to play away?
if Askeaton can continue scoring lots of goals then they will sail through this one, although its a tough enough place to go for a win

[buddygeary23]

rovers pitch is in a bad way...its not very good to play on..if it rains it will be called off unless they play it in askeaton

[Hairy Legs]

Askeaton wont mind that

[JohnnyTheJockey]

Well done there Tom, fairly obvious that there in the Kerry League. Glin will beat Shannonside handy, from what ive seen of Shanagolden they are an ageing side. They will stay up but only because the standard of the league is so poor. Im not digging at anyone but the only reason the likes of Askeaton are top is because NCW are rebuilding.

[JohnnyTheJockey]

Anybody know what games are on/off tommorrow? Want to plan to see which one i will go watch. If any with this weather!!

[Ask me tom]

Can`t see many pitches holding up after the rain we got today, surely the league should have called games off by now if they were going to.

[western gale]

All games are going ahead tomorrow though some pitches wont be playable, its in the lap of the gods

[Ask me tom]

Newcastle West Rovers V Askeaton, off pitch unplayable.

[Harry Lime]

Pics from NCW v Broadford this morning. 0-0 at half time when I left.

Weather was terrible, but the pitch was holding up really well.

Home win

[The1]

Glin V Broadford
Abbeyfeale V Carrig Celtic
Askeaton V Rathkeale
Shannonside V NCW Rovers

Any predictions here lads ????????
Thread gone a bit dead latley

Draw
Home win
Draw
Home win

Home Win : Ive seen them both this year and they are both rubbish

Home Win : Again both are rubbish, Picked Abbey though because as bad as they are they still are not as brutal as Carrig

Away Win : Title decider with Askeatons luck finally running out

Home Win : SHANNONSIDE HAVE COME INTO FORM

[Ask me tom]

Away win- Broadford - Have improved through most of the season and have their footballers.
Home win- Abbeyfeale- Carrig aren`t up to much
Draw/Away win- Rathkeale will be well up for this after a poor result last week,
Home win-Shannonside-Had a good win at home against Glin last week and will want that to continue

[JohnnyTheJockey]

Glin V Broadford - Hard to call, but id go for a home win 1-0

Abbeyfeale V Carrig Celtic - Abbeyfeale 4-0

Askeaton V Rathkeale - Rathkeale to win 2-0, I kind of Agree luck for Askeaton has to run out

Shannonside V NCW Rovers - Shannonside Possibly, Have not seen Rovers so il go for a home win 2-1

What do other people think? I dont think NCW A are out of the league yet.

[buddygeary23]

glin v broadford.. Ill go for a 1-1 draw.. Abbeyfeale v carrig celtic.. 3-0 to abbeyfeale askeaton v rathkeale.. Tough game but id say 2-1 to rathkeale... Shannonside v ncw rovers..Another close game 3-2 to Shannonside

[western gale]

Glin 2 Broadford 2
Abbeyfeale 3 Carrig Celtic 1
Askeaton 1 Rathkeale 2
Shannonside 3 NCW Rovers 1

[Hairy Legs]

Everyone singing off the same hymn sheet almost for the weekend, I will stick to my predictions but I think there will be more goals in the askeaton V rathkeale match both good attacking sides.
I dont think results in these games will shape the outcome of the league trophy, still be very close going into 2010 as no one can really pull away.
Newcastle are getting wins back to back every week now and looking settled again.
Shannonside are putting it together now too. Winning is a habit as they say, You could see alot of draws this season, wins will be so valuable.
Its great stuff really for the league.
Desmond cup should produce some good draws next year some very decent sides in Div 1 this season

Ya Shannonside really getting it together now they are well in with a shout of winning the league this season. Rathkeale have no chance Sunday missing too many over the hurling.

It should be a good game Skt Blue, it`ll be very tight, Askeaton are missing Anthony Ryan who is susspended and will be a big loss.

This suspension thing is a joke when referees can hand out yellow cards for nothing, god be with the days when you had to earn your booking, we are all big boys playing a physical game, no wonder it gets bad press against rugby and GAA.
And this year its down to 4 yellows. We dont have massive squads to fill the gaps
There would't be half as much diving across channel if the ref's kept the cards in their pocket a little longer, a fair hard challange is a thing of the past and something we all learned from when we started http://foot.ie/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif
