[panda87]

Town 4-1 Sallypark

Don't think they were three goals better but town definitely deserved the win today. We gave away some terribly sloppy goals.

[celticlads]

celtic 1-3 b t harps we were 1 nil up at half time and well on top, couldve went 2 up early in the 2nd half missed a great chance, fair play to the harps came into the game strongly after that and put 3 past us, were really lacking a goalscorer up top but again alot 2 build on and a lot of positives

[Diablito]

Clough 3 - 0 Borris, Set pieces killed us again today, conceded 3 from deadball - couldn't get going in the first half, clough defended very well. Second half improved and enjoyed the majority of possession but again just couldn't get going up front or make use of good possession - Fair play to clough, defended well and got stuck in and took there chances - a big improvement needed against town next week

[celticlads]

anyone hear who won the borroway game?

[PremierMan]

Lough derg won 1-0... Should have beaten Borroway by more. Looked like Borroway were missing half the team that played last year, Lough Derg put up a good show and deserved their win.

are you with lough derg premierman? great start for them, are borroway struggling for player this do you know?

[PremierMan]

No im not with lough derg, just from thurles is all and went up to see the game, looked like borroway were struggling alright, had a lot of new faces compared to last year. if they keep the same team that started against lough derg they are gonna find it hard to avoid relegation. i noticed 3/4 of the thurles town team were up watching the match aswell probably getting a close look on lough derg as they are playing them next week i hear.

i thought if anything borroway would have strengthened, have thurles added to their squad i heard a few peake villa lads are gone to them, if so they will be strong this year

[Tractor Boy]

Nenagh AFC 4 -1 Sallypark
managed to get to see the second half of the match and looked like a comfortable win for town.
sallypark seemed to play a three man back line, very risky playing that against town i think. Town had a lot of the ball too and were much fitter than sallypark!

good win for ye,i know its only early days but how would you rate both teams, what was the starting line up?

[Tractor Boy]

I think town will be strong contenders for the league but i think it will be a lot closer than last year, as for sallypark from what i seen they played a lot better last season but its only early days yet, im sure they will get stronger as the weeks go on.
Towns line-up was:
1.Robbie Ryan
2.Roy Creagh
3.Derek Mckenna
4.Cathal Coonan
5.Mark McKenna
6.Mole Mitchell
7.Mikey O Gorman
8.Damien Mitchell
9.Brian McGhee
10.Brian Quinn
11.Thomas Sheppard

ya i think it will be closer but i think ye will win it, if we can build this year we would be hoping to challange ye next season but cup runs is more realistic for us this year, blackcastle are alot stronger this year but the main challange will come form thurles i think

Any truth O'Gorman is going back to Janesboro?

[Tractor Boy]

Yeah ye look to be rebuilding alright slowly but surely, things are coming together, any truth that ye have or are looking into getting a new pitch celticlads? i heard ye have two possibilities? Hotspur as far as i know he isnt going back, he has plans to go abroad but at the mean time he is a town player. he was wanted by both janesboro and pike from what i heard!

[MerchantsView]

Thurles Town have got a few of peake players and have real strength in deepth . Be a closer shoot out between Thurles and Nenegh this year

Why is he training with them so?

[Tractor Boy]

Why is he training with them so?
couldnt tell you, he is still training and playing matches with town and is playing against pike in the
munster champions cup so your guess is as good as mine.

Id go with the same predictions as you celticlads, i think you will have them spot on.
Maybe Lough Derg might squeeze a draw :)

[celticlads]

celtic 2-4 sallypark sallypark deserved the win in an open game, could have finished 6 all easily, we missed a pen to make it 3 all and they scored shortly after that well done sallypark as for us we need 3 points soon

[Tractor Boy]

Borrisokane 1-7 Nenagh AFC

We started off poorly but got off to a good start with a penalty, went 2-0 up before borris got one back, Borris created a few chances after and
ended up losing a player through a red card. easy enough win in the end but fair play to borris, well able to play a bit football when they want!
their pitch was in great condition also, fair play to the work they are doing there.

[Diablito]

A serious hammerin for us today - a terrible tackle in the first five minutes gave away a stupid penalty when we had a half descent start, same again 5 minutes later and lost a man with a last man challenge. Defending was poor all day - played some nice football in places and showed some promise but bad decision making throughout just killed us - just cant play like that against nenagh. Have to agree with tractor boy, the pitch was perfect - may put as much effort into our team now :D

[Pride of Nenagh]

Ah Panda we missed some unbelievable chances if we had taken them it could of been 8 or 9, Ponky had 2 along with the 3 he scored, quinny had an open goal after ponky went around the keeper, mikey had 2 in the first half, jamie lee had a 1 on 1, ye're keeper made a great save from Darren, we were disapointed after the game that we missed so many, but fair play to ye, ye kept going and going.

[Diablito]

I'll give a stab at this weeks fixtures
- Thurles
- Sallypark
- Draw
- Draw

[GComerford]

Borrisokane Nenagh Town match was a good game. Town were a different class and it was refreshing to see, I assume, the 3-5-2 formation implemented (do you play 3-5-2 against all opposition, Tractor Boy?). The communication between the players was very impressive. I was also impressed with their mentality: instead of reverting to auto-pilot after the sending-off, they went out and destroyed the opposition. You have to credit our A players' mentality too. They didn't quit either and played some good football (probably better than they had played before the sending-off).

[celticlads]

Thurles Town v B T Harps - P. Horgan
Borroway Rovers v Sallypark - L. Kelly
Nenagh Celtic v Borrisokane - E. O Shea
Cloughjordan v Lough Derg - J. McGrath

3-5-2 is a great formation for attacking football, you will create loads of chances with it and have lost of posession, if the players understand their roles it can work really well and id imagine with the footballers town have it would work well for them, like you said communication is key to this formation

They'll hardly play that formation Sunday against Pike away.

Depends on the players we could have that week.... we have about three or four different formations we are comfortable with,
our management want us to be able to play more than just one formation!
