Limerick Premier Division 2017/18

[pearse4t3]

Two lads were having words and manager threw himself on the floor for no reason whatsoever. A grown man throwing himself on the floor for no reason trying to walk a lad into trouble is highly embarrassing imo.
The entire incident was an embarrassment to football in the city.
Did you manage to see the second part of the incident?

Seen the entire thing.

[Ballistinianlad]

From the sounds of it. Boro should take action. Fine club being dragged through the muck by this kind of carry on

[pearse4t3]

Seen the entire thing.
Didn't see either part, just differing reports.

Didn't see either part, just differing reports.

Aidan threw himself on the ground first he wasn't touched then it went a bit mental and he ended up getting knocked out in the middle of a big pile of people. I feel sorry for Fitzgerald got red carded for absolutely nothing first off he didn't do anything secondly ref never saw any of what happened and just panicked.

If that's the case Dermot should get off with that, especially if the referee hasn't seen it.
As for the second part, getting knocked out!!, well that could run for awhile, and might go down different avenues, seems a very serious incident. Cheers bluewhitearmy.

[Treaty Gooner]

Reports have varied between he threw himself on the ground to he was knocked out with a headbutted, punched as he was hitting the ground and kicked in the head as he was lying on the ground. Magic bullet stuff.

Two seperate incidents being discussed with the start and end of your post there. I've no connection to any individual or either club involved and I saw every second of it.

He was having words with a player and threw himself to ground for no reason.

All players from Boro rushed over to get involve thinking he had been hit Balla lads rushed in to help Fitzgerald.

Ref flashed red card at Balla player even though he saw nothing. He was got up off the ground and while I can't say for sure he did look like he made a bit of a smirk Balla player had a go at Ryan for acting to get him sent off. One of the Balla management team rushed in to try and calm it down and get his players away and was told to "F**k off you scumbag" by Ryan.

Both sets of players and management teams got into a bit of pushing shoving and shouting. I didn't see him get a headbutt I did see him get punched by someone who wasn't playing the game or wearing any club colours he got stood on a bit cos he was on the floor in the middle of both sides still pushing shoving.

I'm just worried people are gonna spot a trend with me always seeming to be around the madness haha

[Treaty Gooner]

Dermot Fitzgerald could be looking at a lengthy ban. Ref must have seen something to red card him after the final whistle. Nobody deserves to get knocked out over a football match but if anyone does...it's the gerbil seller.

[pearse4t3]

It is very hard to condone anyone getting knocked out at a Junior Football match, and then to have that video and picture posted all over social media to be ridiculed and sneared at by fools. Very poor taste.

[Wicklow12]

Has Chris smith gone to boro??ray lynch is doing a good job so far with regional, they are after a good start to the season,

The ref had his back to the incident turned round when he heard the commotion seen Ryan on the ground and flashed a red for no reason whatsoever ridiculous out of him to not just admit he hadn't seen anything tbh. Ref 100% did not see a thing of the first incident which he have red for.

[Kennycon]

There should be linesmen at all premier games , if there was linesmen present the balla player would never have got a red poor decision by the ref, it was a competitive game with great spirit from both sides on and off the pitch.

Good point about having assistant referees. Come to think of it, there was a meeting about 6 years ago with Premier League clubs and the LDMC where clubs were asked about using 3 officials for each game, Janesboro FC were the only club to support it, other clubs main issue was the cost of the extra officials. In fairness to the LDMC they wanted it in but needed clubs to be behind it.

[Fairkop]

It must have been terrible for people,probably some families to witness this carry on in a public park,bad enough standard of football dropping then this.Pretty tame affair Regional and Fairview,Regional decent enough ,View look in real trouble.Carew in flying form,with the signing of Rainsford must be contenders.

What kind of team had Fairview out?

[Jofspring]

Saw the Limerick Leader had an article up from Pat Sheehan with all the starting lineups.

[Shearer]

Don't think so, the Desmond League PRO who is from Abbeyfeale reported that he was staying in the paper.

That's harsh. Is there a precedent for that or have they pulled it out of the sky?

[Kennycon]

What punishment did both clubs get

[Jofspring]

Clubs have had all games at home forfeited before because of problems caused by people on the line. Some clubs have even had it done for pitches being dangerous to play on.

Boro got no punishment as far as I know, but what punishment could be handed down to them? Even if people are ****ed off with what happened, there is nothing the Boro can be punished for is there?

[pearse4t3]

PJ Matthews Premier League

Moyross V Charleville, R Broe,

Fairview Rgs v Nenagh AFC, R McCann,

After lasts nights results, it sets up some big ties for Sunday, Regional V Carew and Pike V Balla are massive games at the top end. Aisling V Kilmallock and Moyross V Charleville are big at the other end. Enjoyable season so far, wide open league at the moment.

[dutchie]

Is there a website that you can see results from last night, the district website is woeful and only updated once a week, if people could post results on here we might have an idea of who's doing well.

[pearse4t3]

Janesboro 1 Regional 1
Ballynanty 4 Aisling 3
Charleville 0 Pike 4
Kilmallock 2 Carew 3
Nenagh 5 Holycross 0
Fairview 4 Moyross 2

[Treaty Gooner]

Very tight at the top and the bottom, Only really Fairview in the middle which is great for a team that looked like they might struggle. Big victories against the bottom 4 so Purcell has steadied the ship.

[booster 03]

Janesboro 1 Regional 1
Ballynanty 4 Aisling 3
Charleville 0 Pike 4
Kilmallock 2 Carew 3
Nenagh 5 Holycross 0

limerickjuniorsoccer.com is updated very regularly by Pat Sheehan, usually done hours after the results

Very bad this year, tables only updated weekly. Plenty of fixtures but slow on results.

[Jofspring]

Pat has always left it until Sunday night to do big updates like all results and tables. He does it in his spare time. Junior Soccer No Holds Barred is the only place you will get up to date scores.

[Treaty Gooner]

Was just about to say more or less the same thing. With games on 3 or four nights a week at this time of year you couldn't pay any man to keep it up to date.

[Treaty Gooner]

Out of interest, anyone missing AOB's pitchside ramblings?

[pearse4t3]

Where's he gone to out of interest?

[Treaty Gooner]

Heard he followed Mick Ahern to the Desmond League. He can't live, if living is without Mick.

[Fairkop]

Website is well run tbf,surely the man running it is well rewarded for the work he puts in ,in his spare time and if he is not he should be.AOB,s contributions are imo a big loss,like him or loathe him the reports were very good.

His reports were excellent tbf,a great insight given to games many of us couldn't attend,why is he gone does anyone no?is he just concentrating on LOI work with Noel O'Connor?

[Treaty Gooner]

I told you. Desmond League. Mike Ahern. Can't live etc.

Is that a website or Facebook, nothing updated on junior soccer website since last Saturday.
