Limerick Desmond League 2012/13

[Footy247]

Lads any truth in the story that league cup game that was to be played between shannonside and broadford was called off because pitch was't lined,broadford appealed and punishment handed out was home advantage was reversed,broadford appealed to munster council and council backed league decision,if any of this is true is it setting a dangerous precedent by the league of how to get a game called off

[fanaticfan]

Some one from Shanagolden told me that Shannonside were missing a few players that weekend against broadford so Shannonside never lined the pitch and we're pretending that the rain washed the lines away during the night. .Fact

[super6]

So someone told you this fanaticfan and you say its a fact.... but you dont know if its the truth really.... I agree with footy 247 IF it is true teams that are down in numbers could do this to get a game off but to be honest it takes 20 mins to line a field so dont see why they didnt do it before KO if so.

[fanaticfan]

It was a Shannonside player who told me so I think it must have been true

[snafu]

Was there some sort of fine for not having that field ready?

Your a deadly man for hearing stuff fanaticfan,most of your posts start, I heard or someone told me :)

[fanaticfan]

Was there some sort of fine for not having that field ready?

Dunno if there was a fine,only heard that broadford had home advantage in the returning fixture. .

Well a Shannonside player told me that boyblue so what more can I say.. not telling fibs and have no reason to lie

[answers]

i have to agree with boyblue on this one your hearing is definately better then your sight fanatic and if i was to have a punt id say you are a man who wears specs with a friend from shannonside who drinks in newcastle but that was if i was going to have a punt but im not. on another issue glad rovers have upped it a notch would like to see a tight battle for survival as i think will be in deciding the title.

[fanaticfan]

No your wrong there answers.

On a different note.will the games go ahead this weekend

[fanaticfan]

Ballingarry 4-2 Abbeyfeale
carrig celtic 1-1 newcastle rovers
newcastle west vs killeaney OFF
Shannonside 1-4 broadford

Anyone know why ncw and killeaney was called off

[churchtownroad]

Old Mill v Kilcornan postponed after 9.30am pitch inspection

[churchtownroad]

Killeaney had only 9 players

[snafu]

Killeaney had only 9 players

So was it a walkover?

[super6]

ya a walkover. both tems did the warm up and when ncw took to the field at 1125 killeaney decided not to play with 9.

[fanaticfan]

Ah that's not good. Why didn't they play with 9players. .

[snafu]

Ah that's not good. Why didn't they play with 9players. .

I'd say the scoreline would have been pretty embarrassing...maybe not as embarrassing as a premier league club only having 9 players at a match...but pretty embarrassing none the less.

Edit: isnt there a 3 point deduction for a walkover? Maybe they would have been better off playing it altogether

[Footy247]

Good wins for ballingarry and broadford,sounds like killeaney have thrown in the towel

[fanaticfan]

Yeah great wins for ballingarry and broadford. The ncw vs killeaney match was in the league cup so they will probably only get a fine.

[snafu]

Oh right I thought they were league games.
Ballingarry have really improved in the last few years

[fanaticfan]

Yeah they sure have and fair play to them. Nice fellas and great facilities.they will definitely be up there towards the end of the season

[fifty50]

Has anyone got a contact number for secretary/chairman of Newcastlewest rovers

[hulk]

Not many of the big sides clashing in the first round draw. Carrig vs athea probably the tie of the round. Any predictions for the cup? I think broadford might go 1 better than last year. I heard a strange one the weekend that broadford tried to gain a walkover from shannonside in the premier league cup because their pitch was unplayable a few weeks ago. They took an appeal to the munster council but it was rejected.

By pitch unplayable do u mean pitch not lined, it's already been discussed. After that decision you can bet that other teams will try the same trick and are now 100% guaranteed to get away with it

[fanaticfan]

Yeah carrig vs athea probably tie of the round. Newcastle rovers vs rathkeale reserves should be a good game also

[hulk]

Where has it been discussed? I was told that there was an under age match played on it the day before so it had to have been lined surely? Just seems to be a bit over the top from broadford,trying to get a walkover for it?

[snafu]

I'm guessing that Broadford were thinking that Shannonside intentionally didn't line the field because they may have been short players, had players suspended etc. and knew that if the pitch wasn't lined then the match would be postponed and the only consequence would be that they lost home advantage. Id imagine that the Shannonside players turned up at the field approx 1/2 hour before the game, surely they would have realised that the field wasnt lined and could have gone about lining it, even if the match kick-off was to be delayed by 15-20 mins.So I'm guessing that Broadford saw that as a deliberate attempt to postpone a game and wanted Shannonside punished for it.

[fanaticfan]

I agree with snafu.I think broadford are going a little over the top going to the munster council over it. Some teams would be happy with home advantage the following fixture.you could line the Shannonside pitch in 15 minutes.

[fanaticfan]

As for winners of the Desmond cup, can't see anyone outside the premier winning it. Gonna go for broadford as winners,with ballingarry,newcastle and rathkeale up there too

[nathanbrown]

I presume all games will go ahead this weekend. All league games seem to be on in decent pitches anyway, has the weather been good the last week, I've been away.
Hopefully we get a good run of games over the next few weeks so the league doesn't drag on through the summer.
Big game between Rathkeale and Broadford the winner should have a great shout at 2nd place behind NCW

[southern kid]

very poor result for ncw yesterday at home to abbeyfeale. i heard they "rested" some of their top players,any truth in that fanatic?why would they do that when goin for lge title? I was a good result for ballingarry and they were not even playing lge yest.Looks like killeaney gone down after yest result. good result for broadford yest but i still think they have too much to do to win lge. any reports on yest games? best of luck to ballingarry nxt sun..

[answers]

i heard that they rested doherty hurley and quaid and handed buddy geary a starting position which to me is very unusual for a team wanting to win the league. great result for abbey down there and heard they were unlucky not to hold out for a win. desmond cup the weekend cant see too many upsets but you never know with cup soccer hopefully there will be some crackers and some upsets along the way.

[super6]

No lads there was no one "rested",doherty is only coming back from injury hasnt played since FAI match in waterford and hurley and quaid were at a 21st sat nite so did not start. we were missing o'keeffe paudie fitz james quaid and thomas geary for numerous reasons. even tough we were poor in the first half they cleared 2 off the line and we missed 2 1v1s and abbey took the lead through a free kick. we were on top for most of the second half equalizing through daniel power.We had 2 pen shouts in inj time when denis fitzof abbey handled the ball only for the ref to say he was pushed even though there was no one near him and the man himself admitted it after the game but these things happen in games so not blaming the ref for our average performance. should be a good finish to the league now with ourselfs ballingarry and broadford all having to play eachother.as for broadford having too much to do ? are they not only 2 points behind us?!

[BoyBlue]

I'd agree with that super6 good game I thought in poor conditions. On the penalty, turned abbey down for 1 earlier just as blatant so he was probably just evening things out ( 2 wrongs make a right )
All to play for hard to call between the 3 of ye,should make for an interesting finish. Abbey safe now hopefully a run in the cup.

[fanaticfan]

Dunno southern kid,wasn't talking to my friend who plays for ncw,didn't get to see any game as I was working. Will be chatting to him tonight at work.good result from ballingarry and broadford.killeaney look doomed for relagation.should be no shocks this weekend in the Desmond cup

[nathanbrown]

Lads is there any way of checking what transfers took place in January?

Desmond Cup, I think there is a few chances of upsets, some might not be seen as upsets in some peoples eyes.
I thin the best chance of a huge upset is Shountrade against Killeaney. Rathkeale reserves are a great cup team and could surprise NCWRovers. Athea could surprise Carrig. Granagh should beat Askeaton, not really a shock if it happens but they are a division below.
Before people go off on a tangent, i'm not predicting these as results, just saying a cup shock is most possible in these games.
