Shannon Olympic A vs Mountshannon

Mountshannon travelled to Shannon olympic yesterday morning and came away with all 3 points. Olympic started well, with the front pairing of jimmy houlihan and rob kinnane causing all sorts of problems. Particularly down the left wing, houlihan put in a few nice crosses but the home side lacked the killer finish in the box. Gradually Mountshannon came back into the match and started applying some pressure of their own, which culminated in the Olympic right back hacking down the mountshannon striker just inside the box. Penalty. No arguements from the olympic defence. The Mountshannon no. 7 stepped up drove a low hard shot to the keepers right, but McCarthy's produced a cat-like save to deny the opening goal. Minutes later, a cross from Dunne was met on the volley by Karl Fogarty and just clipped the post. And so to the half time break.

The Olympic management decided a change was needed and so kinnane was moved to the wing, Hogan came off, and Derek "Gassie" Collins came on up front for his first appearance of the current campaign. No sooner had the second half kicked off and Olympic found themselves a goal down. A corner was swung into the back post, defence failed to clear and the mountshannon striker finished off in good style to put his side ahead. This seemed to spur Olympic into action, and the managers substitution paid dividends as Collins crossed a sublime ball onto Kinnane who nodded in the equaliser. There were chances at both ends in the last 20 minutes with McCarthy again saving well in the Olympic net.

And then disaster struck. 10 minutes to go, the Mountshannon attack put through the striker who finished coolly with a great shot into the roof of the net, to take all 3 points home to Mountshannon. They just about deserved it too.

Rats B Hockeyed by Tulla in Div1. Whats up with that result CousinSyl ??
The Specials lose again. Everybody else draws. Still wide open.
Mountshannon now looking good for promotion.

Avenue B & Hermitage continue to run away with Division 2.

Specials B only draw while Kilkee's game is postponed. Amazingly Bridge Celtic B who haven't won a match all season beat Manus.

All very interesting results indeed.

I think Cousinsyl wont be around for another day or so if i am correct i think he maybe on holidays in the US but thats if he is who i think he is :)
I was told by a member of the Rats that they failed to travel to Kilrush so is that result fact or is it a walkover,if it is fact all i can say is at least have the balls to stand by poor results and not hide from them

If it was a walkover the scoreline is 3-0, if it is 7-0 the game must have been played.

About time.Olympic are only a one man band.I hear ye are banned from this site by order of management. :eek:

[OpenGoal]

About time.Olympic are only a one man band.I hear ye are banned from this site by order of management. :eek:

Whose the one-man then genius? Also, if we were banned wouldnt that mean there would be no comments from us.......so who are you talking to? You idiot.

[OpenGoal]

Ye are going against your managers requests.And about the one man well its definately not you opengoal but figure it out

To be honest, I think you and your likes have probably bored everyone else off this site........think i'll take a leaf out of there book actually. Your talking nonsense. Over and out.

[footstar]

:)
To answer your first Question he probably had a massive hangover-secondly he never told me to go away u should read his post again.All the olympic lads are gone because the truth hurts and they are all upset :Dfredred you really are sad, why would we be upset because of some little muppet, as you can see both olympic teams are doing well this season, so just do us all a favor talk some sense about football or shut up.

[oldspice]

Cup games this weekend some interesting ties plus the one they have all been waiting for next tuesday night-olympic against bunratty b :cool:

Do you have the fixtures handyman? Particularly interested in Kilkishen's fixtures naturally enough.

[oldspice]

Ya ye are away to kilmaley on sunday and at home to tulla on wednesday-two tough ones.

Why? ...are there easy ones?????

[4-4-2]

Ya ye are away to kilmaley on sunday and at home to tulla on wednesday-two tough ones.

Whats the story with the olympic and Rats B game did you say tuesday night

[4-4-2]

is that the bunratty that have conceded 14 goals in two games...redfred....and the same bunratty that only beat oympic b 1 nil .....get with it..

I think Olympic will face a different team because the rats wont want to lose..it would be nice to see the team sheets from the last two games they played and compare it to the team that they will field against Olympic A

Question for anyone who knows Fredred. Is this guy(questionable) really a 16 yr old girl or simply a homosexual. His stalking has now gone to new lengths and he has resorted to sending private messages insulting me. I quote him,

Thanks for the concern Oldspice.

My concern however is the 2 embarrasing results since my departure and the 2 tough games we have next Sunday and Tuesday...

[footstar]

Welcome back dolan. two very embarrasing results indeed, do you think ye will be able to pick things up for the cup game at the weekend or will it be another trashing. Seen avenue b a few times last year and they seemed to be a very good side. what do you think of your chances?

Premier is between Newmarket,Lifford the Bridge & Avenue.
I'll go for Newmarket as well.

1st Mountshannon looking good
Tulla Runners up.

2nd I think Avenue B will pip Hermitage

3rd Kilkee
R/Up Olympic B

Your relegation candidates for 1st & prem are spot on.Cratloe A may get relegated as well.

I'd say Cratloe B,Bridge Utd B & TullyCrine will all go down from Div2

[oldspice]

where do you see olympic a finishing in the first?

This weekend will tell a lot. I've been quiet on the issue of late, reason being that I had felt Bridge Celtic would win it but recently they've been dropping unexpected points. I also felt that Olympic were the next best I've seen but Mountshannon managed to turn ye over at your own place. I have to say that we played Mountshannon a week before that and they really were nothing too special. (No pun intended). Now Mountshannon and Bridge are playing each other twice over the next few days and Tulla have Kilkishen twice in the same period. If the results go for ye, it leaves it there for ye to take but so far, no team has grabbed it when given the opportunity. Let the games begin in earnest.

[Pauliwallnuts]

I reckon you'll finish 3rd.

Of course ye can still win it its just that Mountshannon & Tulla actually have the points on the board allbeit having played more games.

Mountshannon are on a great run right now being 7 games unbeaten winning 5 of those. Their form is the best in the division.

Really I feel its between yourselves & Tulla to finish 2nd & I just fancy Tulla that bit more looking at their results.

Worst case scenario is that ye should make the 1st Div / Premier playoff & then its in the hands of the Gods as you never know what can happen in a once off game.

Ye're not looking too bad really.

At the start of the season I fancied Bridge Celtic & Kilkishen to be promoted.
How wrong I was

Bridge Celtic seem to have completly fcuked it up which is suprising.

Kilkishen also are not playing to potential & their league position is no indication of their quality. Loosing B. Donnellan was also a big blow.

[Kicks]

At least nobody is running away with it in the 1st division so even if a team has a couple of slip ups they'll still be in contention. Most teams are capable of taking points off each other. The lead could change a few times before the league is over.

[OpenGoal]

Youre right about Bridge Celtic, I thought they'd win the division outright. What has happened to them? Lets hope someone apart from Mountshannon and Tulla can get into the shake-up, it would be a pity for the the rest of us if the two relegated teams went straight back up at the expense of the rest of us. I cant believe Kilkishen are where they are in the league, it doesnt make sense. Apart from mountshannon, they were the best side we've played against this season. Very strange indeed. Everyone seems to have discounted corofin but i think they'll still take alot of points, especially at home. also, kilrush arent going to give up without a fight and anyone who gets 3 points out there should consider themselves very fortunate.

My prediction for the 1st would be

1st Mountshannon
2nd Olympic
3rd Tulla


2nd to last Kilrush
Last Bunratty B

what about the local derby of the olympic and newtown b teams on good friday..theres gonna be some blood shed in that one..

should be a good game. Olympic boys riding high and Newtown not having thier best season. lets hope we're all grown ups about it so there's no repeats of past melee's :)

[leftie]

what about the local derby of the olympic and newtown b teams on good friday..theres gonna be some blood shed in that one..

yeah the path down to the pitch from the dressing rooms can be pretty trecherous :D

[bakodnet]

olympic b cant afford to lose this one so im sure theyll be focused on winning and not tearing the poor little newtown lads to shreads

[Pauliwallnuts]

Should be a tough one for Oly B.

Newtown beat Ennistymon 3-1 last time out & drew with Newmarket
so their form has improved all of a sudden.

Oly B should still shade it though.

[bakodnet]

and what about the newtown A and bunratty match on the same time..will donal "big daddy" magee be running away with his tail betwwen his legs

[johnnyosullivan]

and what about the newtown A and bunratty match on the same time..will donal "big daddy" magee be running away with his tail betwwen his legs
newtown are in great form of late with a good win agaist cratloe and an even better win away to top of the table bridge utd 2-0. the rats have been up and down this season so newtown in there form could squeeze it! the league is still wide open for everyone. some good times to come in the premier! :) :)

[MadMick]

Well today is the Day that Mountshannon and Tulla stamp their authority on the league, both should win to pull themselves away from everyonelse in the League, with the return fixtures early next week expect Mountshannon to have 31 points and Tulla 27, leaves everyonelse chasing the playoff place in the League.

This could turn into a dogfight expect Rats B to put out a strong team against the Specials and a draw is on the cards with both teams not finishing with 11 players( This could get hot under the collar). Can anyone from Rats tell me what the problem is between these two clubs, something must have sparked this off!!!!

Corofin and Rock to play each other fancy this could end in another stalemate result, got to say this league is probably one of the most exciting for years, 8 teams fighting for the top 3 places as I would not write Kilmaley out of the equation, if they beat Kilrush then they are right in the hunt

Prediction

1st Mountshannon Celtic
2nd Tulla Utd
3rd Bridge Celtic
4th Corofin Harps
5th Shannon Olympic
6th Rock Rovers
7th Kilkishen Celtic
8th Kilmaley Utd
9th Bunratty B
10th Kilrush Rangers

[Pauliwallnuts]

Don't think that Tulla will have it all their own way against Kilkishen.

Its the local derby & the lads are well up for this one.
Should be a real dinger of a game.

Hope everybody stays on the field for the 90 well everyone from Kilkishen that is.

Of course Tulla's crap pitch won't be doing anyone any favours !!!

You seem very confident that Mountshannon will take 6 points off Bridge Celtic and Tulla will take 6 points off Kilkishen. I'm not so sure. For me, Bridge Celtic are stronger than Mountshannon eventhough they've thrown away a few points lately. Do you really think Corofin are stronger than Olympic?? It's a very interesting prediction and one I really want to compare with the table at the end of the season.
