North Tipp & District League 2012/13

[BobblePark]

will you now consider clough and sallypark as challengers to town, i certainly would.

It certainly does look like Clough or Sallypark are in the best positions to put some pressure on town now.
I see their playing each other next weekend, it will be interesting to see how things sit after that.
out of interest how many points did town drop over the season last year?

[mr. man]

great win for ye, are thurles any good?

Yeah Thurles are good enough all right.. Bout the same as last year .. They were alot better than us in the 1st half and deserved their 1 nil lead at half time . We were way better than them in the 2nd half and fairly dominated them .
They only really had 1 chance the whole game whcih was a brilliant volley from 25 yards so i thought we defending very well against them . Overall it was a bit of a srappy game .
We have a big game again Sallypark now sunday .. They all seem to be big games which is good ..

On the naming of the refs thing .. My opinion is that they shouldnt be named on the forum ..

[mr. man]

Great win, well done, 100% after four games, great start for ye

Cheers panda ! Yeah good start for us but a long way to go .. We have a handy one now on sunday against ye ! :p

we drew with them twice, not to sure if they dropped anymore points, i havent seen clough play yet this year but i was impressed with sallypark the few times i seen them and it will be great for the league if someone can challange town this year, both clough and sallypark away will be very tough games for everyone this season and more so if they are in the hunt for silverware

[celticlads]

since we only have 1 premier game this week i will include the score in my prediction :cool:

clough 3-3 sallypark

are benny and mikey not playing this year?

[skunk]

I normally wouldnt comment on refs coz they have a hard enough job in fairness but Jimmy McCarthy is possibly the worst ref i have ever seen, been the same for years now...stands in the middle of the field for the whole game. Sounds petty but he didnt even check for shin-pads, studs or jewellery today...Complete waster..

Mikey can only make the odd game this season ( due to work placement ) and Benny is in another country so wont be playing soccer this season .. Is it the same with Jimmy hynes .. Did i hear he wont play play every week for ye ?

ya due to work jimmy cannot play every week but he has being around alot so far thank god, him and marky walsh have been great for us since they came back, who is simon malone is he a new player for ye?

[Diablito]

Disgraceful post, tough man behind your keyboard, taking a man's name anonymously. Mods, do your job properly please.

If you happened to read on i took back what i said - it was a mistake singling him out - As for the tough man comment, i didnt threatin anybody, it was my opinion, which i am entitled to. Look further back, another ref was also named by another user...Again, it was a mistake and our forum friends were quick to point it out - it wont happen again...Il take this singling out as a slap on the wrist for my sins...

[mr. man]

Simon is from Clare .. Good player and has scored a nice few goals for us so far .. He is in college in UL .. We have another lad from UL that couldnt play against Thurles last week .. He is a german lad ( right winger ) .. Good as well..
Think he played with Bayern munich last season ! :p

not so bad, are ye considering a title challenge this season?

[mr. man]

not so bad, are ye considering a title challenge this season?

Honestly we are just taking each game as it comes and we will see what happens.. I still think Town will win the league fairly easily in the end .. Hope i am wrong ! Would love to see another team takes points off them like ye did tho ..

[the wombat]

well lads. anyone tell me how thurles are gettin on this year? they signed michael ryan off us at peake villa during the summer. decent player, good bit of pace, should do well up north

ya i think most teams are the same bit early to be getting carried away but great start for ye well done

clough 3-3 sallypark

only seen that borroway v bt harps is on as well this weekend, bt harps win for me

[panda87]

Well said, think everyone's taking it game by game at the minute, I'm just happy we're out of the relegation picture this early in the season, staying up is the primary aim. Looking forward to the clough game sunday, a draw won't be much use if either team wants to challenge this season, so should be a good attacking game

Anyone know if the North Tipp Schoolboys League has a website where you can see results and fixtures ?

Castle 3-2 Borroway
Cloughjordan 3-2 sallypark.
That certainly makes things a little interesting.
Sally droping 7 points already though means its gonna be tough for them to push town.

Just had a quick gander there at the league tables.. Do nenagh town win pretty much everything underage every year??

[panda87]

Clough 3-2 Sallypark

I was waiting for mr man to post so I could congratulate him but anyway a good three points fpr clough to keep their 100% record going.

I think our biggest fault on the day was that we spent the first half trying to play football from the back, which was suicide, and went in 3 nil down at half time. A draw might have been the fairest result in the end but it was not to be, clough away will be a hard fixture for everyone this season.

clough are the team we all have to chase now so, what way is their pitch is it still the way it was last year across the field?

we scrapped past a good redmondstown team yesterday aet 3-1, sound bunch of lads who put on a right spread for us in the pub afterwards thanks lads

Cheers panda .. We were delighted with the win even though i dont think we played particually well esp in the 2nd half.. Ye fought back well i must say .. What happened with one of your players .. Did he just walk off the field .. I only heard it after the game.. didnt even notice it during the game although i was wondering why ye were making a sub so early..

[mr. man]

The pitch is changed around from last year .. Back to the way its always was .. No harm either !

[celticlads]

[panda87]

@celticlads

Pitch is better than last year, lower half isn't too bad at all. Well done on ye're win yesterday, always good to see north teams progressing.

@mrman

Ya it definitely was a game of two halves but with the hill and the wind I suppose that was always going to be the way. Being honest, I think ye are a stronger outfit this season but less of a footballing team but then again playing on that field it might be the way to go :)
Improvement will be needed for a league challenge but best of luck with it!

As for the man going off early in the game, it's a long story but it was a major blow for us, our most senior and probably our strongest player. You wouldn't see it on Dream Team :P

[celticlads]

Just had a quick gander there at the league tables.. Do nenagh town win pretty much everything underage every year??

yes they would be strong at most age groups in fairness

[redsect]

Alright lads, first post but just wanted to say for anyone who is interested in the happenings down the lower leagues Shannon Rangers out in front in the 3rd at the moment, John Flannery scoring goals for fun this season. Have to say Lough Derg B looking pretty strong by all accounts

[GComerford]

I haven't seen Lough Derg B play or played them, but they have only a .50 win rate (discounting the default win against Shannon Rangers). Rangers have a strong team, but player turnout is an issue for them and they've already a default loss because of poor turnout. Majority of their matches have been home games; so, we'll know if they've resolved it after their results from the long stretch of away games.

Who do you play for, redsect?

Unfortunately i gave up playing some years ago, but involved in a capacity in Shannon Rangers. You are correct, last year we didn't travel well but the panel is stronger with a higher commitment this year so i guess time will tell

Hard league to win, a lot of B squads there so maybe that's why teams are unpredictable. Same in any league, having a reliable eleven togged and fresh every sunday will go a long way. Best of luck with it

come on now i reckon ye fancy your chances against us, ye did beat us already

i think bt harps might get a draw out of it and fancy borroway to nick a draw as well, town should win handy enough

Thanks very much. Yeah, it is a hard league, and if we don't get out this year we never will. Big test on Sunday with Holycross B coming up to us and we are missing a few of our first team regulars so i guess that will tell us what we need to know.

[beautifulgame]

Celtic by the odd goal in high scoring game
think harps might stop clough and win
thurles and town by rugby scores

you could be right about thurles game but form counts for little in a derby game

Celtic are a very different beast now as you well know, our lads have played everyone and the only teams that impressed me were town and maybe thurles. Ye have a couple of different faces now that ye didnt have when we played ye earlier, and even in that game ye were only a missed peno away from getting a result. I've seen ye since and I'd put ye up with town and thurles, looking forward to sunday, we have been leaking goals so it might be a high scoring game as beaurifulgame said above

yes we have come on a bit since then alright but we are missing jimmy and maybe marky through injury 2 huge losses for us but we have a nice enough squad now so its a chance for other lads should be a good game again anyway

Bt harps 0 Clough 2 .. Nice !!!

[celticlads]

Bt harps 0 Clough 2 .. Nice !!!

well done great result, we won 4-1 but i think the scoreline was a bit harsh on sallypark either way good win for us

[BobblePark]

Well its looking like another standard season. Town top with celtic, clough and castle making up the top 4 and the best of the rest avoiding relegation. Hope sallypark stay up as there probably better than the rest.

[beautifulgame]

far from standard me thinks!! clough will take some catching now 6 from 6. celtic playing some stuff now and cant see them dropping too many points from here in. town cant afford another slip and they only scored 2 late goals today to beat lough derg. clough still to play town and celtic twice so should be a good league this year.

Id say there were a few hangover heads for nenagh town heads today me thinks.. Only reason that i cud think that they needed 2 late goal to beat lough derg ..

Clough V town next week ..

ya points on the board mean everything, we would need to go on some run to win the league but were starting to find a bit of form now so just keep winning i suppose and see where that takes us, you still have to fancy town tho
