Team A: Clodagh Rangers or Hill Celtic or Tralee Dynamos V Ferrybank

Team B: Newcastle West or Crosshaven V Carrick United or Kinsale

Team D: St Michael's or Fairview Rangers V Leeside or Maymount Celtic.

Semi Final Draw will be
Team A V Team D
Team B V Team C

I think Newcastle West v Crosshaven was played 20.02.05
Carrick United v Kinsale, Nenagh Celtic v Clonmel Town and St Michael's v Fairview Rangers are on next Sunday

[backodanet]

Dave Dunphy is a class act & in my opinion has proved with spells at Kilkenny & Limerick that he is easily good enough for the eircom league.

Very surprised Noel O'Connor hasn't appraoched him cause he's attitude etc is first class


totally agree i was just stating that none of the balla team are playing well at present

[cleansheetagain]

[QUOTE=TRUE VIEW]I see Park got another hany one poacher !!!

Still think they won't make the final[/QUOTE


some people said they would'nt get out of limerick, can't be that bad and dont think theres any handy ones left, they might just do a mungret on it true view, u remember dont you,best of luck to all at park,

[clownboy]

I have been watching them lately and most of them are not maybe performing to there best...But its good to see Collopy back playing ok the more matches he gets the better..It looks like all the older veterans are playing well Garreth Ryan and Damian Conway Playing very well

[shannonsider69]

Newcastle West beat Crosshaven in a penalty shoot-out last Sunday.

Wasnt at the game but according to a good source they were 2-0 and let Crosshaven bring it back to 2-2....but beat them after a penno shoot-out.

Good to see a Desmond League Premier team going well....some real talent at the club and here's hoping they keep on going. :)

[kingpin]

Could any body tell me if fairview hae lost any players to limerick city? Did they best Michael's at the weekend?

[backodanet]

Fairview lost Tommy Barrett and Robbie Kelliher their top scores to Limerick
Michaels seem to have lost paul tobin Left full to limerick
match is down for decision this weekend

[True View]

maybe a handy one maybe not anyway if we do get another round outa of it it will be no surprise to me,,,, balla will have there work cut out with carew park just hope the referee on the day brings plenty of yellow card and red ones hahaha it will be close to call i think the match is going ahead in pearce stadium so there will be no excuses bout the field no douth it should be a cracker of a game to close to call for me true view extra time id say
YE Poacher, might go another round ae yer oppenents struggled to beat Granville in an earlier round & as we all know Granville are VERY average.

I think Park might do a Mungret & be close but no cigar.
They are simply not good enough at the back or up front.
Shane O'Connor is very overated in my opinion but if YE Poacher, get the big lad Russell to play, think he might be busy with the GAA though, ye will always have a better chance.

[True View]

I'm going to stick my neck out & go for Balla to beat Carew.
It's just a hunch as everyone agrees it's too close to call but I am not one for sitting on the fence hahaha!!!

Anyone else brave enough to call it ???

Tommy & Robbie are going to be a huge loss but with John White, Alan Barry & Mike Kerley all signing for the View I think we will cope.

Waiting for confirmation that the LDMC are going to do something right for a change & get rid of the rule banning ex eircom league players from the Junior leagues for 18 months.
It makes no sence to keep good players out of Limerick Junior Soccer & forcing them to play in the Kerry or Clare leagues.

Heard today from a reliable source that Dermot Finnan is definitly leaving the Boro at the end of the season.

Why is he leaving, would he not stay and try make something of them or is it because their not that successful again this year, where will he go,

As I have said on the FAI thread I think that Balla will have too much class for Carew. Man for man they are the better team and Carew know that they would have been much better of avoiding the two Limerick teams. It will affect their discipline too much. If they go behind and they see their dream slipping away watch out for some red cards !!!

If you think Park are not good enough up front or at the back how they get this far True View ??

[widow]

with the boro I think its a case of the players failing the manager, every manager has failed because its being the same base of players there for years, its too easy to just blame the manager

[whitestripe]

We are back talking about the Boro again I see - why are the players in that club getting blamed for everything? maybe its a case of the Manager failing the players? for the last 4 years its been the players asking for more and the Managers dragging their heals and stuck in the past. If you look at the clubs that are doing well at this time Fairview, Balla, Park, Pike, Carew

With the exception of Carew each of these clubs have a man in charge that actually puts effort and thought into training, into the drills and into preparing a team.

Compare this with the Boro that were asked to run around two footballs for half and hour without ever kicking a ball the last session before a munster junior quarter final or better still not train at all, not because the players don't want to but because the manager does not feel like it.

Under Jaws Ryan, Trevor Lovelle an FAI coach was brought in because the manager was not capable of taking a training session, this took months of fighting to get and lasted two sessions because Jaws said his training was not good enough and "would not get a fat person fit" the committee agreed?????????

Instead the team took part in a tactical session of genius proportions, stand around in the freezing cold while he worked on a free kick that involved nothing more than a player kicking the ball as hard as they can towards the goal and hoping for a deflection. A quality session.

I could go on but you must see my point by now, there is a very manageable bunch of players in that club but what they need is a manager. For what its worth I heard the rumour Finnan is out and they are looking to put someone new in. Jason O'Connor would be an excellent replacement and I am sure he would turn things around and get the boro back on track. But anything could happen in that club - maybe Jaws is on his way back?

Jaws 2 the revenge of the ...............

[backodanet]

what about urself whitestripe wud u take the job

[barryk]

He would be sent from the line so often the side would have no manager

[whitestripe]

Ha- good one but your miles out.

[whitestripe]

A strategically placed bollard would do a better job than any of the last few managers.

[Goals4fun]

A strategically placed bollard would do a better job than any of the last few managers.

Most of the managers have been in and out in about 1 season. This can never be good unless your players are exceptional. We know the buch of boro payers are decent so maybe if a manager stuck at it instead of expecting instant success then they might actually get somewhere !!

I think that PARK have a great chance.
As for Granville being VERY average. I was at that game against Waterford Crystal and they represented the Local league well. They were more than a match for a strong Waterford side and could have shaded it in the end. I think they deserve some credit for there efforts.

Park will win f#ck all....They'll be beaten in Waterford..They're a joke of a team..Their captain is only a sub and he's useless..The keeper is overweight too..They have only 1 good player..Shane o Connor.He's a genius...



You made two posts, your other one in the clare league and you bitched at every thing there to are you one of these people that cant do anything only bitch or could you not get your place on either side, you have a great knowledge of football

[passer]

maybe park will win f#ck all this year,but i wouldnt call any team that has only been beaten once in 90 mins this season and that is in the quarter finals of the fai a joke

[Goals4fun]

Is this the voice of the green monster , somebody who is knocked out of the national cups already ??
I believe that Park won their last game against Evergreen without out your budda Shane O'Connor so the rest can't be that bad !!!
Where will you be sunday week ??

VERY WELL SAID!!

VERY WELL SAID!!

I'll have to agree with you here..... :eek: :eek: :eek:

[OpenGoal]

Do any of the Shannon lads know a player called Kenny Hughes? Used to play for a variety of teams in shannon, all of them at some stage I think. Anyway, he was one of the finest players ever to play in shannon, I think he moved to Cork. Does anyone know if he is around, or if he is currently playing ball?

He bought a house a lives in Cork. He was playing in the Munster Senior League with some team down there b4 Christmas but not sure if he still is. He was injured before Christmas I think.

What a player though!!!!!!!!

I agree with lookout,give Park Credit,it is a job itself to get out of town,can't see park winning in Waterford but best of luck to them and also to Balla and Carew PK,
Carew,have a centre forward Jason Devlin, heard he knows where the goal is,does anyone know my=uch about him..... :cool: :cool: :cool:

[BallBreaker]

Don't want to be bringing up the boro as it seems there is a lot
of unrest within the site but how true are the rumours of dermot finnan
leaving the boro.
If so,will he be returning back to the view do you think. :ball: :ball: :ball:

[Supersub]

What are the fictures for this weekend ?? Is the MJC down for decision?? What other Limerick teams are involved other than Fairview?? What are the prem league fixtures ?? Are Pike likely to strecth their lead again this week ??

Have not seen any paper this week and am in the dark! Appreciate if someone could let me know the fixtures along with your predictions for them..

On the Fairview tie , I would imagine that whoever wins the game will win the MJC! Anyone else got an opinion on the comp???

[backodanet]

MJC the view v michs 3pm sunday
league carew v mungret
touhy cup for the rest of the premier league teams

Clonmel town have to be in the reckoning for the MJC - a class side

[Pauliwallnuts]

Its an awful pity that the LDMC doesn't use the a2z soccer site to display the latest results & tables. It would be very handy rather than having to rely on the Leader or the echo.

[Supersub]

Are Carrick still left in it ??? If so they would be another team who would fancy their chances !!

[backodanet]

think so they have to play kinsale and the winners play newcastle west

[CousinSylDolan]

Totally agree... All that needs to be done is send them an up to date lg table and follow on with the results and fixtures as they happen.... Very easy and it makes a big difference to have a lg table to look at.

Dermot Finnan will be taking over the Limerick LDMC U21 team but he won't be calling on black or whitestripe or any of the other 2/3 players that are the root of all ills at the the Boro.... thats a fact

[Ned Kelly]

maybe park will win f#ck all this year,but i wouldnt call any team that has only been beaten once in 90 mins this season and that is in the quarter finals of the fai a joke


Was only messing..A few of my mates who play with park are always in this website so i was just trying to get a rise out of them :D I actually think they could go all the way with a bit of luck.They've a strong squad this year but i think they lack a striker to partner Shane o Connor..Anyone know how Mike o Malley is getting on with Fairview??Or Seamus Lawlor with Pike??

[irisheagle]

MJC the view v michs 3pm sunday
league carew v mungret
touhy cup for the rest of the premier league teams

Clonmel town have to be in the reckoning for the MJC - a class side


Its Micheals v Fairview at 1pm

Clonmel a class size, cannot agree with that will be luckly to win in Nenagh

I am told the Leader do the tables themselves against Paddy Cusack's wishes. If he had his way nobody would know how the league stands.
Only for the Leader we would be like Mushrooms.

You seem to know whats going on, can you fill the rest of us in?

[Old School]

whys he leaving janesboro ?is it he cant work with the set of players or has he just had enough of it ... who will take charge of janesboro now ?has he left all ready i heard there may be a old head going in to take charge of the scene there last nite and most of the team will be retired includeing the 2 stripes u said ..

whys he leaving? - well if you look at Boro's recent managerial history, is it four managers in as many years, are the all crap, are all their training sessions dire, are all their man management skills as bad as the next OR is there something wrong within the squad itself.A few rotten apples perhaps, too much finger pointing going on at this website and in the boro itself...... everyone else is wrong - we're right.

[whitestripe]

Don't know how to answer that load of rubbish but I will give it a shot. By the way I am sick of answering questions on the boro so can we talk of some other club for a change.

If you look at the boro trophy cabinet that should be proof alone that something is wrong, am i correct so far? The last time the boro won anything was under Dave Connell, they won the league and won it well and that was with a very average side. The next year under a different manager, the boro ended up starting a game against Balla in a league game with 9 players. The following year under another Manager the boro underachieved with a better squad. Then Jaws arrives on the scene, and quiet literally did nothing, everything was done by a few players and the only reason he stayed in the job for so long was because the boro were winning games. Jaws then gets those players that were doing everything to keep the team going kicked out of the club and leaves himself. The club falls apart and could not even field a team for this season. 3 of those players returned to help the club and try to rebuild what ever damage Jaws caused. Dermot Finnan got this job and he got the support of all the players.

For the last 4 years in the boro its been the players asking for harder training, its been the players pushing the standard, its been the players asking for a more professional approach to the game and its been the players that have asked for new players to come in and play and yet I have to read this rubbish from that plonker about the players being the cause of the problem, without them the boro would be playing in 2B at this stage.

Old School - I would be interested to hear what you would consider a good training session and how you think a team should prepare for a game and since you seem to be so knowledgeable about the Boro, compare your answer with what actually happens in the boro and then look at the trophy cabinet?

The Boro are always good for a laugh, only this year it's Dermot Finnan playing the tune hahaha!!!

One thing for sure is he won't be going back to Fairview.

yes yes I forgot everone else fault, silly me ..... There is only one common theme over the last fews years when we've been in the **** and thats the strips and a couple of others. What bothers me most if we have the core of a very decent team with some outstanding players and gentlemen to boot, two things you've never been accused of.

Look at the previous posts - everyone else is laughing at us. Fairview are still winning FAI's and leagues, Balla leagues and Semi of FAI, Pike have won a league and a MJC ... for Christ sake even Carew/Park could win the FAI this year. ......... but of course its everyone elses fault.

One thing is for sure the Boro were around a lot longer than you and they'll still be going a lot longer after your gone.

p.s. You ask what i know or can tell you about training sessions. Well I've played and trained at a level that you and the other strip only saw in wet dreams in your youth and I can tell you it only takes one or two bad apples to **** it up for everyone else.

[True View]

God, steady on their old school............any one know who the 2 stripes that he is referring to are???

[Ask me tom]

can anyone one tell me whats left for fairview this season now they`ve got themselves knock out of another major cup it looks to me as if they are unable to cope with their loses to limerick

[widow]

what was the score?

[widow]

any other results today, how did pike and balla and carew get on?

[True View]

can anyone one tell me whats left for fairview this season now they`ve got themselves knock out of another major cup it looks to me as if they are unable to cope with their loses to limerick
The league & the local cups aswell as local dominance are what's left for Fairview this year.
Beaten today 2-1 by a good St Michaels side but in my opinion we should have won. Tell me what team could lose the best two strikers in Limerick & not suffer? We have not given up on the league & will not give up until there are no more points to play for.
We have the best young players in town, i.e. James Hayes, Cian Hanrahan, Wayne Colbert & will add John White & Alan Barry to our squad shortly.
Today was a disapointment of the nature we are not used to & do not intend geting used.
