Limerick Division 1A 2011/12

[the lobster]

Geraldines won this game as a result of a very bad goalkeeping error. Also, we hit the bar, missed a one on one and another good chance. They created very little at 0-0, looked ok at the back in fairness to them, solid enough but the chances we missed were very bad. Should have been 2 up and closed out the win. Bad misses and a bad mistake cost us the 3 points today.

Sign of a good team winning when they shouldn't have.

Saying that, Hibs played well but really have to take chances or it could be a long season of if's and but's.
So far what ive seen from 4 games they only turned up for 2 of them, they were very bad against Pike B, very good against Balla B, extremely poor against Shannon Town and ok against Dines. Really need a goal scorer because some of the chances missed in games are nothing short of shocking.

Your goalkeeper's going to feel a whole lot better now then isn't he??
I take all your points, and can't comment on a game I didn't see, but the Dines just keep posting those clean sheets. I'll have a proper look at them next Thurs week ;)

[Zizou]

Not to be making excuses for our poor start, but... we've had 4 games, 3 away, next game is home then we're away twice in a row. This makes 5 away games in our first 7 fixtures. Can anyone explain the L.D.M.C's thinking there?? Or have any other club such a tricky start?

[Second]

Be nice to have all home games near end of season when things are won and lost on midweek games

He knows himself and he is good enough to get over it. In fairness to him, he has won us more games over the years than lost. Geraldines are a solid team but not world beaters. Anyway, best of luck to them for the season.

Mungret 0 Shannon town 0....

Mungret 0-0 Shannon Town

Probably a fair result in the end with both teams failing to get their first vital 3 points! Thought we started the brighter and were on top for the first 25-30mins with plenty of the ball but other than corners never really got a good chance. Shannon shaded the rest of the first half, got balls in behind us but like us never looked like scoring.
Second half was even enough with Shannon hitting the bar from a brilliant lob from the half way line which would of left our keeper fairly embarrassed to say the least. Shannon went down to ten with around 10 mins left and we missed our only real good chance with time nearly up. At least we are up and running!! Big game Thursday away to the dines who by all accounts are flying - what better time to get your first 3 points!!

On a positive note i have to praise the ref (S Rooney), we had him Thursday too against Balla B and i thought both games he was v good.

[dines08]

Another clean sheet for the Dines. I have to admit at this level thats outstanding. They must be very well organised and tuned in for whole 90. Anyone name the back 4 plus keeper for me??

Keith McCarthy in goals, Jack Allen right full, Shane Madden and Thomas O Grady centre half, Paul Fitz left full. Eoin O Sullivan then is sub but could play anywhere across the back four

[footymad]

Keith McCarthy is a very good keeper very important at this level.

[footymad]

Charleville 2 Fairview B 2

Not a bad result for view considering they were missing their whole backline from the previous game.

I wasn't there pal so i don't know much about the game except that i heard we played poorly and Fairview deserved the draw. We need to start playing better and fast, very tough game away to Caherconlish thursday night

Shannon better team 1st half missed two good chances but dines far better 2nd half missing chances of their own one off the post and a one on one with the keeper..shannon are the best side i have seen the dines play so far knock it about well..but with darren young and ian dore missing and stuart byrnes to come in aswell they look strong..

Ah my friend, there you are. Pity you missed it but mind that injury and get back soon, I know exactly how it feels.

By gum your right, sorted.. Check again!! :D

[Hibs7772]

Agreed, the whole we are going to be biggest team in shannon hasn't worked out yet.. Still 3rd ...

Hibs the 3rd best team in Shannon?? are you being serious? you'd want to get your eyes checked!!

[Second]

Obviously your agreeing they are not the best.. So who do you think they are better than

[francescoli]

At the moment it looks like Olympic are the strongest, then Hibs and then Shannon Town, who look pretty poor this year !

[old git]

4 years and lots to show for it

hate to be nasty .. but alot more to show than rineanna rovers now !!

[old git]

Agreed, the whole we are going to be biggest team in shannon hasn't worked out yet.. Still 3rd ...

second , take a look back over history of all shannon teams newtown / park / shannon town / olympic they all have a poor record on success over the last 10-20 years so it's just not a hibs problem.. would disagree with you on still the 3rd best team also

[White Lines]

Why don't Shannon teams just go into the Clare League, is it the fear that they wouldn't come up the leagues.

[Second]

Ok old git in your opinion who are they better than and why..

[old git]

Ok old git in your opinion who are they better than and why..

being honest i dont think there is much between all 3 teams in shannon and if being really honest you would even struggle tn get one very good team out of all 3 clubs.. I could only seperate clubs by grounds / changing rooms etc so on that hibs just ahead of shannon town

[Second]

Good answer but I was talking about on the pitch.. :-) ... I do agree about facilities though . Hibs have great setup

on the pitch last week shannon town v hibs finished 0-0 but if going on recent wesley webb shannön town r the best in shannon

It's a pointless argument really.
If you want to go on results then Hibs B team are better than their A team.
Which they aren't

Derby matches come down to who wants it more generally.

As for who is the best team/club in Shannon. We'll I'm sure we all have arguments to support our own club but junior soccer in Shannon is on its knees right now for whatever reason. And there is nothing to be proud off apart form the schoolboy set ups of both clubs.

[Lev Yashin]

Shannon Town 4 Croom 1

[champs09]

pike 3 fairview 0 another great win for pike

lish were wining 4-2 last i heard dont no the final result any other results

[allab]

granville 3 balla 3.. granville got the equaliser with time almost up, about 15 yellow cards shown in a game that wasnt very dirty

well said Shannonman....its a sad state of affairs when you look at the lack of quality in the teams in shannon. Long gone are the days when each club had a good A team with decent supporting teams (B's & C's), making wesley webbs a great feature as an end of season tournament. Now it is not worth watching....

Planners likes to get off on slagging those teams, maybe he was jealous he did not get asked to play for them, but through the years not many liked to play the long ball to a big lump of wood up top...with no end result..:D

anyway the argument of hibs/town/olympic needs to be taken off line as it's taking over a decent Limerick 1A thread, which i am sure the lads who follow this league don't fancy reading this dribble.....I am sure with planners obsession he will open a new thread for his favorite topic..

over and out for now...:skywalker:
