Limerick Division 1B 2007/08

[gaiscíoch]

Axe Man I will hold you to that. Prospect will beat ye they have the most improved squad since the start of the season and trainning hard.

Ye always have an excuse. Ye have at least 5 subs every game all teams are missing players every second game just get over it. With an attitude like that ye wont go far.

At least 5.... LMAO
I would think any team in this division would claim to be training hard (except Croom!!!)
Your obviously involved with Propect in some way.....

No involvement with Prospect. Just letting you know what I've seen about them and the players they have signed. Very good side.

Croom dont need to train will still beat ye anyway. All ye need now is to play Coonagh and Prospect next and your season is over.

Finnan = 1B next season.

Money well spent.

We'll see all will be revealed....:cool:

[footymad]

I'd agree with the ref being intimidated out there thats a fair enough arguement. But can you or I do about it... Reffing is intimidating at the best of times.

"For all the talk" how are we just not good enough. Prospect beat us 3-2 in their place and we could have won that game had two of our best players not been injured and losing a centre half at half time. Not to mention the 35 yard screamer from the touchline on the right hand side they scored....

We play Prospect at our place soon then you can make a fair assesment....

I seen that game have to say ye played well in the first half the left winger for ye is handy. But Prospect completely dominated the second half going 3-1 up and ye got a very dodgy pen in the last min to make it 3-2. Prospects centre half broke his leg just before half time and he was only standing in he normally plays right full. They only had 1 sub were as ye had 3 at least. Was talking to a couple of them after the game and they said they were missing there centre forward and central midfielder also. They have signed 3 since then.

I would agree with your assesment there. I hope that lad was ok I wasn't on the site at the time to ask how he was poor lad was in agony...

We hit the crossbar just after half time to make it 2-0 but all credit to prospect they piled on the pressure if they hadn't have scored the screamer who knows what might have happened but that's all hear'say.

Our problem is we can afford to lose the experienced lads. The two missing were players that won the Lawson and went to the semis of the FAI. We have added Richie Murphy to the defence and experience is greatly appreciated.

Ya at the time it did'nt look as bad it was a nothing challenge really but he found out later on in hospital he broke it just above the ankle. He should be ok in a month or two though.

Reckon this weekend will shape things...Croom will win

Knockainey will beat shels and Coonagh to beat Abbey...

this is why we all love football..!!

i hope my own team sign Finnan as manager next season...given our crap position we could do with a slight improvement !!!;):D

[allab]

any games go ahead today??

[allab]

park travelled to croom for match to be called off.......crazy

shels went to knockainey to be told they rang yesterday at 12.30 to say the match was off but the joke of an ldmc didnt contact anyone

[larrywhite]

Its not up to the LDMC to contact Shels. Away teams ring the fixtures secretary between 2 and 4 on saturdays to check if match is on or off.

Coonagh travelled to Abbey but pitch was unplayable.

All future games will be let to the ref to decide on match day, passed at the LDMC meeting last tues.

But this is crazy because if it is raining all day friday and saturday and you know deep down game is off,you still have to go to game on sunday just to hear the ref saying it too.Why dont refs check pitchs on a saturday so the likes of park dont have to drive the distance to croom on a sunday morning,ridiculous imo.

You would do well to remember Croom travelled to Shannon in November only for the game to suffer the same faith. But I'll say no more on that. I can only presume that the reason they changed the rule was because teams were trying to pull fast ones...

[Mr. Reality]

Any fixtures for weekend?

[Spudd]

Any fixtures for weekend?

Fixtures in the daily star yesterday,
Top four play each other with park playing away to coonagh and shels away to croom.
Weather keeps up like that there be no games,lets just hope the clubs get informed saturday instead of finding out sunday morning.

[Mr. Reality]

Just those two fixtures so? Weather will most likely put a stop to those.

[3 Heroes]

I dunno, the wind should help the pitches dry out relatively quickly

Here look i had the star in front of me when your man asked about fixtures,why not post the fixtures besides its none of your concern seen as your having such a great season you should be just focused on your team not whats happenin with fixtures in the lower leagues in limerick :p:D

[Pike B]

I would like to say that I am new here and am representing the Hoops B team in this thread. We have had an up and down season so far, but I'm confident we can finish well. A great result against Fairview for us last week with our bare 11. So hopefully we can string a few results together and have a good cup run. I've been reading this thread for awhile now and reckon it was time the best club in Limericks other team made their voice heard!! I look forward to mixing it with you guys. So heres to 1b, the best league in Limerick!!!

[Mr. Reality]

Ha ha ha ha.... Best club in Limerick!! Cop yourself on...

[Pike B]

Ha ha ha ha.... Best club in Limerick!! Cop yourself on...
You want to name a better club pal? Lets have it?

[Mr. Reality]

Fairview,for one. Get a grip man. Pike are a big club but not the best. They have no youths even. And they only have a few club men playing with them. I knoow little about their B

There are school boys playing with the club and they are doing well. They are well looked after. As for our B team, we have a good few 'club men' as you call them, playing for us and will have more next season when a few prodigal sons return!

[Pike B]

They know who they are. Mr. Mc, Mr. Stu and Mr. Duf...

[mulla]

They know who they are. Mr. Mc, Mr. Stu and Mr. Duf...

if they are great clubmen how come they are with hill celtic

[Pike B]

Good point... Everyone is entitled a season or two away.. They'll be back. Along with a few others. We'll hold our own this season and have go at the league next.

[Pike B]

Croom...13/31 (58)
Park...13/25 (52)
Coonagh...14/21 (45)
Shels......13/21 (48)
Fairview...14/19 (46)
Prospect...11/18 (53)

Holycross...14/12 (39)
St.Pats...12/11 (43)
Murroe...11/11 (43)
Abbey...11/7 (40)
We could still have a say in who goes up in this league. We have Park at home aswell as Croom and Shels away. Personally of the teams we've played I was most impressed with Shels. If they are organised and put their heads down I fancy them to pip Park, and go up with Croom.

Mr Pike...did you forget the drubbing Coonagh gave ye...8-1....If not impressed by that then I dont know....Do you have to play them at home?

Shels will not go up...Reckon Prospect or Coonagh will pip Park...A lot will be dependent on this weekend with the top 4 teams playing each other...

as for my own team...back to the drawing board !!

I might just point this out to you. Alot of people on this 1B forum seem to have us(Park) writen off even though the final promotion spot is ours to lose.

What you all seem to be forgetting is we have Abbey, Murroe, Pike B, St Pats, Knockainey, Prospect, Fairview, Coonagh and Croom all to play. How many sides in and around the "Promotion Area" can claim to have played; Shelbourne away, Knockainey away and Prospect away.

These are the sides away from home that are very hard to beat as the "intimidation" factor comes into play with both Prospect and Shelbourne along with that "Field" in Knockainey.

At the start of the season if you told me we would be in the position we are now, I would have snatched it given how bad a season we had in the previous campaign...

Ya, it was a bad day at the office alright, but we really had a poor side out that day. Coonagh were lively but I didn't think when we played them that they were as good as Shels, Park or Croom. We have Coonagh away aswell as Croom and Shels. I'd be happy with 2 or 3 points from them games.

It is yours to lose alright. I just call it as I see it. I am looking forward to hosting ye up in Pike. We did alright for 40mins out in your place before the goalies rick. Then ye pulled away in 2nd half. I was more impressed with Shels to be honest. They came up to us when we full strength and beat us 4-1. Could have been more. It will be a great battle between the top 4 starting this weekend!!

It is a big weekend granted, but it is not and will not define the whole season for any of the affor-mentioned sides.
Shelbourne are good side. We could/maybe should have beaten them. They have bar the right back got one of the weakest defences of the top 5/6 sides.
Prospect have a tidy side.
Coonagh are a very physical side.
Croom have good players in the key positions i.e 2 center midfielders and a clinical center forward.
If you ask me (keeping in mind your not :-D) if you have an out and out goalscorer in this division you will win it...

Isn't Croom's centre forward on 270 goals or something???

[gaiscíoch]

270 goals???? I haven't been counting. That's a fair haul in one season....:D:D

[Pike B]

Around that anyway!! I agree with you there though, but even Premier teams long for a 30 goal a season man. Do they exist?? Apart from Crooms man of course!!!

[gaiscíoch]

I just wonder if he would score even 18 in the Premier. To be honest I think not. The standard of defending is alot better. I don't think it's even fair to compare the standard.

No comparison. He wouldn't get 5 in Premier.. I'm just saying that strikers who get goals every week are tough to come by. Even in our league. Whats your top scorer got? Ours has 4!!!

Intimidation my ass....Its Limerick Football

As for your point as to "How many teams in the promotion area can claim to have played........" I have it from a reliable source that Coonagh have played Knockainey away, Shels Away and Prospect away picking up 7 points...(Limerick Leader !!)

They have Home games left against Park,Prospect,St Pats,Pike, Shels
Away : Murroe, Abbey, Croom,

[Pike B]

Yes I agree. If your intimidated playing Junior football thats just silly. Play hard and fair and to win, no matter who your against..

[gaiscíoch]

I'm not saying that you would be afraid of them much to the contrary. I only love a good physical challenge.

It's the refs that get intimidated that's the point I'm making. They get away with alot more in their pitch than they would at any other pitch in town.

Are you saying that some of those involved with Shelbourne would carry on the way they do in their place, away from home???

Yeah thats right...we have 7 out of 9 points in those games but have dropped points at home to teams we should have been beating. Still have some very tough games left. It really is anyones at this stage.

[KevB76]

Isn't Croom's centre forward on 270 goals or something???


That reminds me .....has anyone seen Shanman2 lately ?
I believe I'm owed a tenner :p

Well they behaved when they came up to us. I don't believe half the crap I hear about Shels. They have a few good lads and a couple of fiery lads but they seem to get labelled the team from Hell!! One of them went in hard on me in our game and I was hurt. Several of their players were asking if I was ok and were very sporting about it. However I do agree with you that refs get intimidated. I've seen it happen myself. They are just human and it's not an easy job..

[Pike B]

Didnt they do it last season out in Knockainey???
Knockainey's boys are well able to mix it up.. They're no shrinking violets my friend.. ;)

It's an easy job when you give it to Trevor Hoare (Ref) He takes no crap from no one and he also send you off at the blink of any eye if he thought you were there to do someone !;)

Best ref in Limerick by far. I agree with you bud. You know your stuff....
