Yes, there is a fixture apart from the top four this weekend lads!!! We travel to Ibrox.

[KevB76]

Croom 10-1 Shels

Nice :D :D :D

[abbeyvale]

Knockainey's boys are well able to mix it up.. They're no shrinking violets my friend.. ;)

Have you played away to Shelbourne yet?? If not, then hold your judgement until then.

The way 3 or 4 of them carried on against us after our game on a public street a few weeks back, is nothing short of shocking.

Like I said before, the majority of their players are fine but they have 3 or 4 that really take the biscuit.

Even their own players said so after the game.

[abbeyvale]

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



I'm beggining to guess the link now lads.
I know one of you, but the other is slowly falling into place.;)

Rangers to win so with home advantage at Ibrox

[the sparks]

this is my first post so would just like to say a lot of the shels team are mates of mine and theres a couple of ye in here seem to really have it in for them,in my opinion every team has a few players that are fiery and shels are no different and about that game in knockainey i was there it was the home team that started that shels were 3-1 up with 5 mins left in a semi final so why would they want to start a fight,knockainey knew what they were doin coz when shels got thrown out they went on to win the cup,goes to show next time your losing a match to shels try and get it abandoned chances are they will get the blame

[the sparks]

and just a quick note to abbeyvale i read on one of your posts that only one shels player would be able for premier keith o donnell,what about damien leo the man has three irish caps has won 2 premier leagues with balla in fact he was the reason they won their first one in nearly 20 years he got player of the season his first season with them when they won it,he also got man of the match in their fai junior quater final and semi final whaen they were unlucky to lose to st michaels,the only reason he left balla was because he couldnt give them the commitment the wanted they have already asked him back for next season,so when you hace the awards and the recognition that man has come back and tell me he is not able for pemier football.....

[the sparks]

sorry bout that abbeyvale just realised it was gaidin that said that not you,anyway i should of also pointed out that stephen leo played the last few years in the premier with ball and the cronin brothers are 2 fine players the younger ger would give any defence in any league a hard time

I think you'll find that I didnt post that bud, I actually said there were 4 or 5 Shelbourne players good enough to play Prem, (go back and read again)

[the quiet 1]

Didnt they do it last season out in Knockainey???

Dont even start this SH*T again, It was Knockainey who started that last season, We were 3-1 with 5mins to go, Why would we want to start a fight, when we played them at the start of the season we were once again 3-1 up and there players started again, but on this day the ref done the right thing by booking 5 of there players and sending off there manager...

[the quiet 1]

Coonagh 3-1 Park
Croom 10-1 Shels

Your having a laugh bud!! 10-1.. Wait and see sunday..

damien was an excellent player before he got terrible injury,but i saw him a few time with balla before he left them and he was only a liability.he was sent off every time they needed him and let them down,plus i do,nt think he,d get into balla team now ahead of robbie brock.

we played ye last year in lawson and ye were more concerned with trying to intimidate us than play against us.

[the quiet 1]

We travelled out to CROOM this morning for the ref to call the game off, A member of the Croom management said that he made contact with the ldmc yesterday to say that the pitch was unplayable,(waterlogged) The LDMC need to action this... Its a waste of time travelling to matches knowing that the game is going to be off. The same thing happened last Sunday when we travelled out to knockainey... Its a JOKE!!

[Raúl Madrid]

Coonagh 7 Park 2 this morning out in Coonagh. Ref Ollie Hayes blew the game up 10 minutes early ...

Would have to agree Knockainey are no saints prospect played em out there twice this year and the first match was a league game the centre half for Knockainey knocked one of the prospect lads out with a punch while they {Knockainey} were attacking a corner for no reason at all that guy was a bit mad he was at it the whole game ref Johnny Carey looking straight at it and did'nt send him off joke a big brawl broke out .The next match was a lawson cup game they left that centre half on the side line but it was their tall lanky Crouchy centre forward that was at it the whole game this time. He was throwing digs at everyone and right near the end he nearly broke the prospect full backs leg with a tackle and when the full back got up Crouchy threw a punch at him again Johnny Carey left it go did'nt produce any cards and a big fight broke out Prospect won that game 4-2 so a bit of sour grapes cause they were losing i'd say......

Coonagh 7 Park 2 this morning out in Coonagh. Ref Ollie Hayes blew the game up 10 minutes early ...
Thats some hammering Park are slipping.

[gaiscíoch]

Coonagh 7 Park 2 this morning out in Coonagh. Ref Ollie Hayes blew the game up 10 minutes early ...


No complaints about the result. We were beaten all over the pitch--physically. 5 set piece goals- 4 corners and 1 free kick. Pitch was bad enough. Held well through the middle but was very poor on the wings. Just a quick word on the Ref lads, this applies for Coonagh too, what in the name of god is he doing "reffing" junior games.
Just one that stands out in the memory. A drop ball our lads kicks it back to their full back and the ref shouts out "your not aloud to touch it! your not aloud to touch!" What the hell sort of invented rule is that.:D :D

Where was he last year when Caherdavin took the ball to make it 1-1 with five to play before it could reach our full back....:D

[gaiscíoch]

what was parks team..saw a few in disco last night??

D. Tierney
M. Mc Keogh
J. Woods
D. O Rourke
S. Walton
S. Farrell
P. Shanagher
E. Dunne
D. Egan
D. Murphy
P. Butler
The average age of the side is just under 23. We really lack experience. All the lads are goods players. At home we can beat anyone, it's away from home where you need the old heads to guide you through that in my opinion is where why are slipping at the moment.

[3 Heroes]

Axe Man: Just a little point, have you ever mentioned Coonagh without using the words "physical" or "physically".

[old git]

no disrespect to them axe man but you can not tell me they are all good players...mckeogh,walton,shanagher or murphy wouldn't get on any other team in shannon except maybe a b team.i might be wrong about murphy but have seen ye 2 or 3 times this year and he wasn't great

would agree with 3-4 players being b team standard but in fairness to murphy he has scored a lot of goals this season for park,, i think park have to many nice footballers need a few big strong players how are not afraid to get stuck in.. plus they also have a few lads very fond of the disco on saturday nights :ball:

your 100% right,unfortunately ldmc decided a while back that the clubs can no longer call off the matches instead it must come down to the referee.the 1st thing wrong with that is that the ref will get paid just to turn up and say the pitch is unplayable when the club knew that 24 hrs earlier.and secondly what chance have clubs got when they think the game should,nt go ahead but the referee decides otherwise and then the pitch gets a battering and making it unplayable for weeks after

[Pike B]

Fairview 5-1 Pike. No complaints as View were far better on the day. We had only 11 but it wasn't a bad 11, so take nothing away from a good Fairview performance. We'll get it out of us next week and get back on track. On another note, great to see so many people taking an intrest in this thread. 1B getting plenty of coverage.. Keep it coming lads...

[Pike B]

Coonagh 7 Park 2 this morning out in Coonagh. Ref Ollie Hayes blew the game up 10 minutes early ...
Complete shock for me there, but well done Coonagh. I did say Park were slipping lads....

[Pike B]

Can't believe that about Shels going to Knockainey and Croom only to be sent home. A proper disgrace that is. Price of petrol as well as wasting lads time. Ldmc want to sort it lively..

Croom's pitch was totally unplayable yesterday, But we should not have to travel away to games when the home team have already made contact on the saturday to say that there pitch was unplayable, As for going all the way out to knockainey we when we got there the Ref said that the pitch was like a swamp, Ya Right.. We walked the pitch and it was in great condition no excess rain at all on it, Its a joke in all fairness....

[Pike B]

Croom...13/31
Park...14/25
Coonagh...15/24
Fairview...15/22
Shels...13/21
Prospect...11/18
Knockainey...13/18
Pike B...10/15
Holycross...14/12
St.Pats...12/11
Murroe...11/11
Abbey...11/7
Lads, pretty sure the table now looks like this after w'end..

[Pike B]

Thats assuming only Fairview and Coonagh games were played. Getting very tight at the top. Any two from top six could go up. I'm still saying Croom and Shels.

You know a bit about them man, you play for them? ;)

[kingofkillteely]

AXEMAN.................It's a good job Champagne Ollie was reffing cause the first goal ye scored was at least 10 yards offside! As for us being physical, thats a joke. Two of the smallest players on the pitch got headers. Ye were a poor team that constantly moaned. At 5-0, one of yer lads roared "Common were losing to a nothin team". What idiot would say that? Were far from being a good team but ye are a joke. Couldn't tell you what "Supermanager" sounds like, cause he didn't open his mouth yesterday. Is he the problem?

HOPEFULLY we will go up.. We will give it our all for the remainder of the season...

'Losing to a nothing team'!!!! If that was said I reckon your man who said it must be a very bad loser. No call for those kind of comments in any game, whatever the score. We were 5 down to our arch rivals the View, and there were no such comments made. I'm beginning to see why a lot of people are against Park..

Thats some hammering Park got...I said it last week Coonagh were the team to watch...sounds like they upped the ante alright....

I have seen Coonagh play a few times and as for saying they are a physical team I dont agree...think they just have a good blend of players that now are showing how to win...

Cant believe Finnan did not open his mouth...although when your team ship 7 goals then questions need to be asked...How much is he getting paid....

[Pike B]

Not as much as at Fairview!! ;)

[kingofkillteely]

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...
NO OUR SUSPICIONS WERE CORRECT ;)

[larrywhite]

Yeah I really dont know where this "physical" thing is coming from. We have a couple of tall players but we are by no means big or physical. Every single Knockainey player that played against us recently was at least the same height or taller than all of our players. If its hard or dirty that is meant by "physical" then thats way off the mark too. We have had only one sending off all season and that was a purely accidental high boot against Shels.

We played Park off the pitch on Sunday and deserved more from the first game out in Park. Part of the game is defending properly and on Sunday Park were a joke. At set pieces and open play. If you cant defend one corner correctly then you are in big trouble. We knew from our first game against Park that they were very weak on set pieces. It paid off Sunday.

We could easily have hot 10 as we hit the crossbar and missed another few sitters and would definitely have got another 1 or 2 had the ref blown it up 14 minutes early. And the only reason he blew it up was so he wouldnt have to send off the Park number 10 for a second yellow.

The most surprising thing though was the complete lack of fight from Park and now I cant see anyway back for them. We went 4-0 up against Shels before Christmas and they never gave up, eventually bringing it back to 4-4 before we just about won 6-5.

Park never even looked like they were bothered by the scoreline and in my opinion thats just not good enough to get up. I can see 3 or even 4 teams going past them before the season is finished. Who that is though is still up for grabs and will probably go all the way to the final round of games.

[250notout]

I agree Larry, I cant believe anyone thinks Coonagh A are a physical side, quite the opposite I would say. Apart from their 2 centre halves not one player can head the ball. I manage the B team and we batter them every Thursday night at training. And we are mid table in 3B! :rolleyes:

they are a good footballing side and hopefully they go up. Should get the benefit of better pitches from now on.

[ParkLife]

Any fixtures for this weekend? There was nothing in the Star for the Limerick Leagues.

[gaiscíoch]

We lost another 3 points at the weekend if you had to have beaten us 52-0 it's still only 3 points.

[kingofkillteely]

We lost another 3 points at the weekend if you had to have beaten us 52-0 it's still only 3 points.

It's a mental thing! If Park get promoted, Finnan will prove he's a good manager. It's a far cry from when he had top class players and guys who will work for eachother up at Fairview!

[gaidin]

sorry bout that abbeyvale just realised it was gaidin that said that not you,anyway i should of also pointed out that stephen leo played the last few years in the premier with ball and the cronin brothers are 2 fine players the younger ger would give any defence in any league a hard time

If you read my post again I said they dont have the attitude to play for a premier club.

Damien Leo has the ability. So has Stephen Leo and shane O connell.

I dont know the cronin brothers so I couldnt comment on them.

losing to a nothing team ...no call for those kind of comments in any game .. you must lead a very sheltered life if you get upset about a player shouting this during a game !! if a team i was playing against was 5-0 down and started shouting this i honestly think i would burst out laughing and tell player to stop making fools of themselves and thier team and also try and rub their noses in it with a few more goals
does not say much for team if you are 5-0 down and call the oposition a nothing team .. what does that make their own team then :ball:

[larrywhite]

Fixtures:

Park v Knockainey
Pike v Prospect
Pats v Abbey
Murroe v Fairview
Croom v Shels

Shels must be getting p1ssed off with travelling to no game but at least weather looks good for a few days.

[larrywhite]

We lost another 3 points at the weekend if you had to have beaten us 52-0 it's still only 3 points.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Im sure that attitude will secure second place. :rolleyes:

[kingofkillteely]

Park 1 v 2 Knockainey
Pike 1 v 3 Prospect
Pats 2 v 2 Abbey
Murroe 0 v 5 Fairview
Croom 4 v 2 Shels

What ye think?

[larrywhite]

Something similar for me but I think Park v Knockainey and Croom v Shels could go either way.

[Pike B]

I lead a sheltered life? Your making no sense man. You agree with me but you don't agree with me?? Make your mind up!!!

[Pike B]

Park 1 v 2 Knockainey
Pike 1 v 3 Prospect
Pats 2 v 2 Abbey
Murroe 0 v 5 Fairview
Croom 4 v 2 Shels

What ye think?
Park 2 v 2 Knockainey
Pike 2 v 1 Prospect
Pats 3 v 1 Abbey
Murroe 1 v 2 Fairview
Croom 3 v 2 Shels
Murroe aint an easy place to go, but View should edge it. We have a great record against Prospect and hope to keep that going. Park match toughest to call I think..
