Limerick Desmond League 2013/14

[dutchie]

I wouldn't say the issue has been resolved, the DL are still investigating the Feenagh inisident but the referee's have been told by their board that they cannot boycott games so like they did last weekend they will continue to ref the games from here on in. They also have a meeting tonight between themselves and their hoping they can get Donie O'Gorman to change his mind, that remains to be seen.

These referees seem to think that they have total control over everything in the desmond lge,they think they are a law onto themselves,it their board say they cant boycott games then they cant boycott games and just get on with it,donie is one of the best if not the best but like i say they seem to get a bit carried away with their power of late.

These referees seem to think that they have total control over everything in the desmond lge,they think they are a law onto themselves,it their board say they cant boycott games then they cant boycott games and just get on with it,donie is one of the best if not the best but like i say they seem to get a bit carried away with their power of late.

Ah I don't know can you say they are getting a bit carried away with their power? In fairness they do take a bit of flack during games, but if its true about throwing stones and intimidating that is a bit much, no player/ manager/ referee should have to go through anything like that.
Anyways lets hope Donie comes back, and if its found to be true the guilty party is suspended and thats the end of it then.

[Good Shout]

At the end of the day the referees are there to do a job which is to administer the laws of the game. They are the ONLY professionls in the junior game therefore should act accordingly. The LDFL MC are elected to run the game which includes discipline and its their duty to deal with matters such as those involving NCW B. If everyone did what D OG did and throw the bottle out of the pram because we didn't approve of the decision taken by those appointed to make those decisions the entire system would collapse. D OG is a good referee and all but jacking up is not the answer. Come on Donie get over it.

[snafu]

If every team threw rocks at the opposition after the game like NCW B did I think matters would be much worse.

[sexyfootball]

Good Shout you're right they should act like they are some what profeesional, but come on... following him to his car abusing him, throwing stones at opposition players? Thats a joke! NO ONE should tolerate that... Anway i'm getting tired of all off this, lets get talking about the soccer again!
Glin look like they are in trouble in the Premier their match against Shannonside will be a big relegation game... although I also see Shannonside are down to play Abbeyfeale in the Desmond Cup Sunday too.. Anyone know why?

[fanaticfan]

Ya its old news now so might as well move on. As someone mentioned a while back that the club was fined and the player was suspended by the club. Must have been a misprint about the shannonside playing glin and Abbeyfeale on sunday. In very close at the top of the premier this year between broadford and rathkeale.

[Johnnie C]

Reidy Cup Final: Newcastle Rovers 3 Feenagh 1. NCW lead 2-1 at the break, a Timmy Lynch header bringing Feenagh back into the game. Feenagh worked hard throughout but the absence of a number of players through injury and suspension told as the better team won. Shane Stack of Rovers was presented with the man of the match trophy by Frank Nelligan. The game was broadcast live on 102FM.

[fanaticfan]

Darragh Barratt shane stack and joey healy scorers for rovers. Rovers deserved the win

You're dead right... still everything to play for in all competitions! The Premier is looking like its going to be a great battle between Broadford & Rathkeale. Survival in the Premier looks like its going to go to the wire also, could Glin or Shannonside go down?! Division 1 is still wide open too, anyone of 5 teams: Rathkeale Reserves (B), NCW Rovers, Killeaney, Kildimo, St.Itas will have a say in the finish. Division 2 is just as tight with Feenagh, NCW B & Creeves all battling it out! With regards to the Desmond Cup, can only see one of two teams winning it... Rathkeale A or Newcastle West A. With the GAA starting up and the 2 game week ends some teams are gonna suffer...

[Soreloser]

I believe the Creeves V NCW B game was recorded for TV last weekend, all enquiries as to when its being shown shoulld be sent to the director and cameraman Mr LD.
Must be great as a club for NCW to know that they have an individual involved who gives his time freely to making sure that he keeps the profile of the club so high on the minds of the League Management or maybe not ?, He even told all of the people at the match that he was ringing the Chairman to complain. (Saved the Ref from doing it I suppose) The word Plo***r comes to mind !!! :shout: (Mon Newcastle,Mon Newcastle,Mon Newcastle).

[twotouch]

I see in the observer that all games for tomorrow nite are cancelled due to a referees seminar....... its a bit late in the season to be calling off games with still a lot to play ...... teams are going to end up with 3 games a week which will seriously hamper some clubs

[churchtownroad]

Kildimo & St Itas drew, not sure about Breska & NCW Rovers, I think Rovers won!

[Yorkshire rose]

Find it crazy that a team would give a walkover in Desmond Cup QF

[fanaticfan]

Heard the same thing this morning. Knockaderry had only 4 players yesterday against shountrade.. bit of a joke really

[sexyfootball]

What happened N.C.W. against Ballingarry? If what you say is true fanaticfan, crazy! Were you at the game? Shannonside look like they are staying up. Glin look up against it if they're to stay Premier next year...
The Knockaderry walkover is a joke alright, in a quarterfinal of a Desmond Cup like, they will surely get some bit of a punishment for that?

[Abbeyman]

Leagues & cups running late this year and with GAA championships underway its harder for clubs , Knockaderry played championship last week and again next week so this makes it hard for clubs with limited numbers, seem to recall Askeaton giving a walkover in the cup quarter final a few years back as well.

[fanaticfan]

No wasnt at the game. No just heard ballingarry were down 3-0

[fanaticfan]

Any thoughts on the rathkeale vs newcastle match tonight?? Gonna say 2-1 rathkeale

[sexyfootball]

I'll say 2-2!!

[fanaticfan]

Who got the other ncw goal and the goal for rathkeale?? Was it a good game?

[fanaticfan]

Any results from today lads?

[sexyfootball]

Who won the other semi final lads? Adam Collins got the first N.C.W Goal!

[fanaticfan]

Heard that abbey beat shountrade 4-0. Should be a good final

[sexyfootball]

Sound. Should be a good final alright.
The final few weeks of the Premier are shaping up to be deadly as well! Two cracking games on Friday in the league Abbey v Broadford & Rathkeale v Newcastle West.

[fanaticfan]

Both should be good games. Hard to decide on which game to go watch

[sexyfootball]

Hard enough to choose, i'm leaning towards Abbey V Broadford myself. Still all to play for in the top 3 leagues too.

[twotouch]

Tonight could have a seriouse say in who wins the league 2 tough matches....... ultimitedly next friday could be the decider a great way to finish off the league campaign that the top 2 teams play each other in the second last game...... as for the division 1 it looks like rovers have it wrapped up unless the have a drastic downturn in fortune by loosing 3 of thier last 4 games as for runner up its close between rathkeale killeaney and kildimo any of the 3 could take second spot...... i take it if rathkeale get second that they cant go up to the premier..... division 2 is extremely close with abbey b with 6 games left to play seems a bit of a joke at this stage of the season that could end up been thier downfall...... best of luck to all teams involved

[Horan01]
