Im not too sure about the St.Pat's v Croom score.It's a tough place to get a result.The pitch isnt great but they have plenty of support which seems to motivate them even more.Croom arent the best away from home either.

What are your predictions then??

What are your predictions then??

Well St.Pat's need a win and its possible they could beat Croom.Croom have a few games in hand over alot of the other teams.they could go into the game thinking it wont be too bad if we lose cos we've have a few more games more than others.If St.Pat's have a full team they could get a result.Prospect and Shels looks like a draw.Yer selves against Park will be a tough one.its hard to call that one.If ye have a full team ye could catch team.
I can see the top teams slipping up this weekend.

So defeats for Croom, and Park, draw for Shels and Prospect?? Good results for Fairview those!!;). If we have a full side we will give Park trouble. No doubt there. I know St. Pats are sticky but Croom should still nick it I reckon but you make a good point. Croom's away form is rocky..

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....
I feel i need to answer this quote. The Knockainey managment rang the famous P Cussack on Saturday to call off the game due to the pitch being unplayable but they were told that the ref and the other team had to travel on Sunday morning and the ref was the only person who could call off the game and this was the rule from now on or until further notice. So we were there with a full squad, Shels arrived and the ref called the game off. yes ye did walk the pitch but only the right wing and not the middle or the left wing which was water logged, both goal mouth were water logged so i can not see why you would be complaining, if the game did go ahead the field would be unplayable for several weeks because of it. Now the rule has been changed again so all home teams can call between 12-2 to call off games due to pitch conditions. I agree it was mad for you to travel to Knockainey and Croom the following week due to the LDL thinking they are the FAI

[QUOTE=Knockmad;905285] We played Park last sunday and we had a horrid first half eventhough we took the lead after 10 mins we went in 4-1 down it wasnt that Park were very good it was that we were rubbish. better second half pressing all the time and stopped Park from playing the good football that they can play.

Knockmad when down to watch that game sunday morning and have to disagree with you,park ripped ye apart with 4 goals cutting your defence each time,they were more up for it especially 1st half,2 nd half id agree with you ye had your chances to get back into the game but couldnt take them,saying this park were poor in da 2nd half.:ball:

A couple of doubious forecasts there guys i think wins for Croom, Shels, Park. We played Park last sunday and we had a horrid first half eventhough we took the lead after 10 mins we went in 4-1 down it wasnt that Park were very good it was that we were rubbish. better second half pressing all the time and stopped Park from playing the good football that they can play. We missed a penalty and a couple of chances which meant we could have won the game but unfortunatly not. At the final whistle you could see what it meant to all the Park team......they are good but beatable
are we going back to evening games already?
Yes indeed, with the clocks going forward Sat night the evening games return next week. As for Park, well they are a footballing side in this division, no doubt, they do try to play the right way. I just think that if we get about them early, mix it up and try and break up their game, we can unsettle them and get a result. We managed it for 40 minutes out there early in the season, but a shocker by our stand in keeper let them go one up. After that we had to try and force it and they pulled away. But we can take hope from our performance against Prospect. I'd take a point from the Park game, but we will try to get all 3.

Park can play ball alright but as we all know the weather can be the decider as well.The good football teams dont seem to be able to cope with the slippy surface with the wind and rain.Looking at the weather at the moment it could be one of those games Sunday

I think its ridiculous as well,All it took is one phone call and still the LDMC said it couldnt be called off.Changes will have to be made alright.It's not fair on the travelling teams.
But i can see where the LDMC are coming from.Through the years teams were getting games called off because of the unplayable field but infact it was because they either didnt have a full team or were missing key players.It should be left to the ref but the travelling should wait on the ref's decising before leaving to play the game even if it was a late kick off.

I think everyone kind of knows that's happening. It's so handy just to call off the game if your the home team. I don't think the travelling team staying at home until the ref called would work.
The Clare league have the right idea blanket calling off matches. I know you might say that's farcical also but at least it takes it out of the clubs hands.

We did kind of cut you to bits when we attacked against the wind in the first half in particular down the left. Where all four goals came from.

However to your credit you did put on pressure after the break. But I felt we were comfortable. We could of had two penalties also.

It meant an awful lot to us getting the win. After the Coonagh game some of the things being said were way over the top. It was an awful performance but as we all said it was coming. It was hopefully the kick up the arse we needed.

I understand what your saying.But how is the away team meant to know if the pitch is unplayable or is it that the home team cant field a team.

I really find it hard to see how Coonagh can get a point out in Croom. It's a very tough place to get any kind of result. I remember a few seasons ago we went 3nil up out there and thought 'what's all the fuss about Croom.' Final score in that game??? 3-3.. They seem to just wear teams down out there. Has anyone taken points off them out there this season???

26/03/2008, 2:22 PM

I heard the very same about yer game.ye had plenty of chances alright.Prospect have a few players that signed a B form,does this mean that they cant play in the A cup.
Yes they had a few half chances Prospect had the better of them though hitting the post at one stage which would have been a cracking goal. Great result for Prospect in the end especially missing 5 of their first team players which does'nt say much for Pike.Philip Coffey looked the only threat for them. Of course Prospect have a few players signed B forms but they are B team players that help out the A team when they can like every club. They wont need them for the cup..

Hold on bud, we had two close range efforts fly wide. Two one on ones that were fluffed aswell as forcing your keeper to make a few good saves. Apart from that one off the post, yer only other chances were the goals. I think you are being a bit harsh on us..

I agree Axe Man we were very poor at the back and especially the left wing but we live and learn....it was my first time traveling to Shannon and i would like to complement you on your facilities your attitude and the fairness in which the game was played under tough circumstances with heavy rain and wind ......... i wish you the best in the run in it should be a great finish to the season in 1B...... Is everybody forgetting that Knockainey and Prospect are also playing a cup game on Sunday .........we are left out of all the predictions and we feel left out.......:(:(

Fairview B drew out there and should have came away with three pts.One of their players handled the ball on the line and the ref didnt want to know about it when it was right in front of him.Their whole team were laughing and even the supporters.

With the way the fixtures are going at the moment with some teams having more games than others over the recent bad weather id say it could be extra time and penalties but im not a 100% on that.

Anyone out there have the answer to that??????

Murroe might be lucky to have their Goalkeeper and centre half back after last weeks game against Fairview...the keeper came off his line for the ball and both players jumped and collided heads which left the two of them heading for the hospital.Both were split open.

Very true. If they had a few players around 28, 29 with a bit more experience and still able to run, they would be best team in division. As it is they have good youngsters and over the hill past greats mixed together. A good team not a great one. But too good for Murroe. 4 - 0....
