Limerick Division 3A 2011/12

[Fairkop]

once again we are on regular turf with the fix sec.matchs that could have been called off sat were not at the insistence that refs must do so on sun.old git is correct in saying that the FS will only take calls from a club sec.this latest episode regarding lisnagry just adds fuel to a very corrupt fire.

[old git]

ballylanders vs newport abandoned at half time due to pitch conditions .
On the way to match a family of ducks were packing up and migrating to a country with a
better climate .
Come on LDMC Lets not make people travel when its obvious pitches not playable .
LDMC report card ---- needs improvement !!

a bit of common sense would be a bonus if it keeps raining the rest of this week the league should do the decent thing and call off all games early , what about the clubs who are doing their best to improve pitchs putting hard earned money into pitches and then they have no say on a match being played and have to stand by and wait for a referee to deceide if he wants to play game and possible wreck pitch for a couple of weeks.

Fixture sec at it again, our first round of fixtures should end with an away match to Lisnagry which he had fixed for last week before he rang Friday to change it to Coonagh, Coonaghs pitch was unplayable so the match was off, this week he has fixed it for Coonagh instead of Lisnagry, fine if it was a cup match but its a league match, after this match Lisnagry will have played three home and six away matches, now someone tell me who is he looking after and who he is screwing, i know we are not the only club this is happening too but its very annoying cause there is nobody in LDMC to challange his decisions and you are wasting your time making a phone call to him

[Jofspring]

That match should be on in Lisnagry, it's a joke that he can switch them what ever way suits him. As mentioned all other teams had to travel to their games and pay the referees fees last week barr Lisnagry.

The Coonagh vs Lisnagry match will have to go back to its original fixture out in Lisnagry. Our B team haven't played in over 3 weeks and are down to play at 2:00 at home Sunday. If the A team play on Sunday morning in Coonagh ( which by right they are not due to) then the pitch will not be playable by the afternoon and if it is it will be destroyed by the end of the B match.

lisnagry try'd to arrange the aisling astro last week at there expense but aisling had a match on it and offered kilonen and when this was put to coonagh tey refused stating it would be unfair and from what i heard ye wer missing 4 regular players and thats the real reason ye refused to play it there

We where told nothing about aislings Astro or kilonan. I don't think there would have been any problem with us playing in kilonan as its a better pitch than ye're one. We where asked to play in our place and we said no and to leave it up to the ref as it is normally supposed to be done. We where missing 1 player last week and we had 2 players that could also fill that position so whoever said we where missing 4 is lying.

The match is originally down for Lisnagry and that's the way it should stay, it's not a cup match, the fixture dosen't change due to an unplayable pitch one week. Now we are down to play two games on our pitch Sunday + the schoolboy games Saturday. It is going to destroy our pitch or more than likey mean our b match will have to be called off and another week with no game for them.

At the end of the day the game was originally fixed for Lisnagry and should stay that way. Don't see why Lisnagry are trying not to play it out there this week, especially when ye're b team are also away from home.

Dont know where you got that story from but this is what happened;

we were rang on Friday morning to tell us Lisnagry pitch was unplayable due to all the underage matches the previous week, he told us the match would be transfered to Coonagh, the vice chairman went out to look at our pitch and after our match against Ballylanders the pitch was cut up badly and would need the week to repair itself and this was told to the fixture sec, he(M O'R) then said he would try arrange another pitch and would ring later, he rang later and told us the match is off, at no stage were we asked to play in Kilonan because we wanted the match to go ahead on any ground available, as for four players missing thats rubbish too, we had one player out that weekend and for another five weeks after too and with a panel of 24 it would have made no difference, If Coonagh had use of two pitches there would be no problems but only use of one pitch(which took 2 years to fix) make things tight when we have four matches a weekend(inc schoolboys).
If the fixture sec arranges a match for Kilonan we dont have a choice we cant refuse to play so i dont know who told you that but they are wrong.

The match will go ahead at Coonagh on Sunday so end of story and may the best team win

[Godzilla]

I would disagree there was any dodgy deal in getting the Lisnagry Coonagh match called off. Lisnagrys pitch was apparently a mud bath, Coonaghs would have been ruined had it been played there.
The fact that there was a world cup final and the Lisnagry keeper is a Kiwi had no bearing at all....

[Grinder64]

COONAGH 0 5 LISNAGRY

big win for Lisnagry in this top of the table clash, a tight first half saw Lisnagry lead by one at half time, a strong first twenty minutes of the second half by Coonagh was all for
nothing when we gifted their centre foward the second and after this Lisnagry never looked in danger and went on to win handy

I see Lisnagry is down for a home game this WE. I guess they're not saving them all for end of season then. It'll prob be called of anyway due to their ground being a bog...:mad:

Well to be honest ye are well ahead of anybody and a draw today for us would have been no good either so we pushed for the win knowing that was the only result that was good enough to try and catch ye and we were caught cold, think at this stage the three teams below ye are fighting for second, Lisnagry wont drop many points so will win the league

Where is your fight man !!!!!!!!!! LOL
Still many twists ahead....IMO i wouldnt have been pushing so hard for all 3 points...take any points on offer... 1 point would have been something...but hey thats just my opinion.......

[square it]

5 points isn't well ahead.going for the win was the right thing to do but you have to stay solid at the back and protect the point at the end of the day a point is better than what ye got

[Jofspring]

Newport where down to ten men and we had the lion share of the possession at stage so had to push hard for the 3 points, would have been crazy not to. Newport kept working hard though and nothing we seemed to try do was coming off on the day. The team that battled harder came away with the result in the end and you would never have known Newport went down to 10 men.

If ye pick up the 3 points in the game in hand ye can move 8 clear of us and then it depends on how the other results for Shannon and Ballylanders go. There is still plenty to play for though. Keep the pressure on Lisnagry, keep fighting for promotion and the Cup.

[square it]

will ye fall away like ye did at the end of last season

[Jofspring]

will ye fall away like ye did at the end of last season

It was actually the end of the season we came strong again. Was the middle of it we dropped most our points last year. You know yourself, the muck doesn't suit our Barcelona style football.

[Grinder64]

will ye fall away like ye did at the end of last season

last year i think we won 5 of our last six matches only loss was to Shannon out there so i dont think thats what you call fallin away as jofspring said it was the heavy pitches that killed us last year, we drew too many matches last year too when teams above us lost more matches than us but still finished above us so i think we will have to wait till the end of the season to see what happens

[topgun]

Newport hung on to take points in scrappy game away to Knockainey - with 3 teams prob getting promoted again this year due to Croom being thrown out of 1a its all to play for still - lot teams still with chances all be it lisnagry should coast to the title they having some impressive results especially the 5-2 away victory in lawson to 1b side Kennedy Park today .

looks like a tight finish to the season a couple of defeats now could cost a team promotion ,, why would three teams go up !!

[Grinder64]

looks like a tight finish to the season a couple of defeats now could cost a team promotion ,, why would three teams go up !!

Croom have been thrown out which means one extra team will go up

two go up from 1b and one comes down
three need to go up from 2a to fill the void left by Croom
three up from 2b
three up from 3a
this is how i see it anyway
