Very strange occurence in the Pike V dines game at 3-2 to Pike.Dines get a penalty.There player runs up to take the kick stops just before kicking the ball letting the keeper dive then rolls the ball into the opposite corner.Referee said retake but then under pressure form the Pike players gave a free out.Probably the most ridiculous decision i ever heard of or seen and could have a big bearing at the end of the season.

If he stopped it is a free out.If he stuttered his run it should be a goal

[rins]

Its only a free out if the taker does not score. Decision should have been a retake and a yellow card. Either way its a caution :)

[Hibs7772]

dines drop more points!!... dont see ye saying anything anymore lads, full of chat there a couple of weeks ago :D

[Zizou]

Croom Utd 2-3 Granville
Another one of those crazy games for us this. We went ahead early with a fine header from Joe Horan, then added to it when Olly Kenny powered home an even better header. Philip Coffey scored our third with a cheeky flick and all was well in our quest for the vital 3 points. Then half time happened, and we sent out the same players but we totally lost the plot and conceded two and could have been pinned back for a point. But we held strong and came away with the win. Delight isn't the word really, and hopefully we'll kick on now from here.
Best for us: Easily young Corey Mc Callum our u17's full back on his debut.

Ya, that makes me feel better :D

[Hollywood Hogan]

The dines looked liked certs for the title a few weeks ago but are beginning to slip up, Shannon hibs could be the Summerville of the premier next season, not near good enough for premier!!! Will be some joke if pike b finish in promotion places and can't go up. Player for player they are best team in division.

[Coolcat]

Im sure all 1A clubs will admit they are not strong enough for premier next year but if promoted clubs know they will have to strengthen squads or else end up like Shannon town last year and Summerville this year..

Are you serious? pike B are nowhere near the best team in the division, geraldines Shannon hibs, Shannon town and in my view granville all better then pike B.. dont know why granville are so low in the division think there one of the better teams,

[Hibs7772]

Agree with this completely!! Pike B no where near the best team in the division, dont know what team he has been watching!!

[theboywonder8]

Well they've beaten Geraldine's,Granville and Shannon hibs,so they must be some it handy,when they have their full squad to pick from that are on a par with all those ye mention if not better,they have the best strike force in the division by a country mile,with JEFF mc,Frankie Stewart,Dermot phelan and last but not least mark phelan,and that's a fact,stats speak for themselves.

Goals for: Pike = 35 versus Geraldines = 34 and Hibs = 35. Stats really do justify that they have 'the best strike force by a country mile' :confused:

[the lobster]

lads, there's not much between any of the top 4 as the results so far between them have shown. knowing the hibs team at the moment they have been playing very well but at the start of the league they were slow to start, losing to the dines, pike & granville. imo opinion pike gave hibs a lesson in shannon but at the pike field they were poor and hibs played well. dines beat hibs by the odd goal in shannon but hibs were very unlucky to not take even a point from that game. granville came to shannon and really put it up to hibs and won, why can't they do that most weeks tho or maybe they are just unlucky this year.

So to sum it up, None of the top 3/4 are by far better then each other. Its all on the day

[Zizou]

Intresting debate lads, here's my tuppence worth:
Having played all teams in the division now, I have to say that at full strength, Pike B are the best team. But not by a lot. Geraldines would be a close second with Shannon Hibs and a full strength Ball B also very tough. But as is the way with almost all B teams, Pike and Balla struggle to field their best side week in week out and this is hindering their chances at silverware. I think at the half way stage it is a race between these 4 for the title, and with the Dines rocking a bit and the Hoops brilliant then poor I think the lads from Shannon might just sneak it. But it is only halfway and anything is possible.
On the subject of strikers mentioned above, Jeff Mc is for me the best player in the division, not just striker.
To the chap who likes melons, we won twice in Shannon this season (FAI and league) so I understand and appreciate your admiration, but we've struggled elsewhere. Hopefully we can still put a run together and pull away from the mire.

[theboywonder8]

The 4 strikers I mentioned would get on any of the teams in this division,who is top scorer in this division by the way,just curious,what I said was that they have the best strikers in the division and they have,and in Eddie lee the best midfielder along with christy Oneill from Geraldine's,Shannon teams string a few results together and they think they are invincible,I see Shannon town last week and they are cat,dines and pike for me 2 best teams in this division IMO.park,Shannon,hibs,Newtown or whatever their called these days will win no league.

[Second]

Hibs FOR 35 AGAINST 13
Pike FOR 35 AGAINST 20
There is pukes problem no point have great strikers if your defenders are crap..

[the lobster]

its been shannon hibs now for 3 years so get over it.

Can we not have a debate without the little digs thrown in just to rise the next fella, sad.

Thats simply not true..has anyone from Shannon Town ever come onhere suggesting we are invincible? We have had some good results lately....beating Balla beating Pike B beating Summerville and an away draw against Geraldines...But we are far from invincible and we are no mugs, We know we need to improve if we want to compete. And we started slow losing games we shouldn't have and we are now playing catch up. But thems the breaks especially in junior football.

The league table doesn't lie and Dines and Hibs are Currently the top 2 in the division, we'll see once may comes around how it pans out, I'm sure Dines, Pike B and Hibs will all be up there!

[Hollywood Hogan]

Was just giving opinion and for me pike b are best team in division, the disadvantag they have is they can't be promoted and they will also lose a few to gaa come February. For me christy o'neill is best player in 1a, would stroll onto any premier midfield outside top 2, class player

[CupWinner99]

B teams tend to fade in the second half of the season. Don't think Pike will fade that much though and be just outside the top two. Shannontown, Mungret and Granville will get stronger. For me - Geraldines to win it, Hibs second followed closely by the likes of Shannontown, Pike B and Mungret.

Whoever goes up, we will need to strengthen big time.

[deadly man]

It looks like Geraldines and Hibs will get promoted at this stage with the Dines winning it
There is still a lot of football to be played though,Pike B and Balla B will push them all the way
I thought Granville would be a lot higher up the table but there having a very poor season for one reason or another
There are some very poor teams in 1a this year,ie,Charleville Croom
the best thing for them is relegation,maybe they will pick up a few wins in 1b next season

[Second]

I think it will be a battle to the last with dines and hibs.. With pike or Shannon town third ...pike have the experience and might just pip Shannon town for third .. Shannon towns new management were unlucky with injuries at Start of league and that might cost them..

[Fairkop]

interesting league now with dines reeled back into the main bunch so plenty to play for yet,as for a fellow poster depicting shannon town as ..cat ..he is indeed entitled to his highly respected and considered opinion.....pike b 0 shannon town 1,oops.think that cat had kittens earlier this season.

who says it's respected..

boywonder you have some neck coming on here saying shannon teams think they are invincible after a few results check all previous pages and i dont think there is one post from any shannon teams praising or predicting how well they are going to do, but instead loads of posts from yourself and your wet dreams about your obsession with pike b. long way to go in season yet and a lot of good teams still capable of winning league.

[van der wheil]

Lads at the end of the day the best team is the 1 that wins the league.For what its worth i think the Dines man for man are the best and from what im hearing they have 2/3 serious players coming that will send shockwaves through this league.Don't think u can say X and Y is the best player in the league as how do u compare a striker to a defender.Best defender for me would be Shane Madden, Best Midfielder i would not be sure about maybe the lad with Croom in the middle.Forget his name but he is an excellent player.Best Striker between Ian Dore and Jef mac.The next few games are vital for the teams at the top and indeed the bottom.Best to luck to all teams and hopefully it goes all the way.

[AC Melon]

Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion, but saying Shannon teams coming on here thinking there invincible is not an opinion its an accusation especially as old git said coming from the man whos wet dreaming about pike B, its a tight league and no-one is a cert for promotion lets just hope the league continues to be as interesting as it is now for the rest of the season.

Ian Dore tore ankle ligaments a few weeks ago and hasn't played any of Geraldine's last 4-5 games. He's on the road to recovery now which is a good thing because they've seriously missed him(even if I am biased)
