Limerick Division 1B 2007/08

[kingofkillteely]

Shels 1-5 Fairview

The view took the lead after 15 mins.Shels equalised after the half hour mark.Fairview were unlucky when hitting the bar on the stroke of half time.Shels lost two of their main players after half time to injuries.Fairview went on scoring 4 good goals.Referee must have booked at least 6 of the shels players for back answering.Some were soft but there was a couple which i think on another day would have been straight reds.
Very good result for the view after Park and Prospect slipping up.

It looks like a four horse race now for second spot.

:confused::confused::confused:

But can ye beat Park next week without the minors?

But can ye beat Park next week without the minors?


Two minors started the game last night as we were mising 6 of our starting 11.But sure that's wats having a big squad is all about.You need players to fill in whenever needed and it showed last night that they can play as good as the regulars no matter wat age they are.

You should tell your "A" team that, instead of them looking for games off, when they're missing a few players!!!!

The 'A' team is nothing to do with me.I find it hard to believe that they wanted a game off because of lack of players but to be honest i dont know much about that.Im not the man that you should be saying it too either.

No problem,
They have a big enough squad dats why i found it weird to believe that they'd want a game called off.:cool:

Maybe they're missing nobody, and just want Balla to play their games in hand to see what way they stand after that.

A good game where the view had most of the possession but weren't able to find the net til half way through the second half.Both teams had a couple of chances but it was the view that took theres.

[footymad]

St.Pats 2 Prospect 2
Played on probably the worse pitches i've ever seen (there is no way that pitch is the correct size either very small) and cause of that it was a brutal match. It was 0-0 at the break but prospect took the lead with 25 to go and it was the same old story they dont know how to win ugly against the poor teams. St. Pats then went 2-1 in front ,with 2 mins to go Prospect equalised so the way the game went it was a good point against a very poor St.Pats side.
Thats 3 draws in a row for Prospect now who beat all the top teams but cant seem to put away the teams near the bottom don't seem to be able to lift there game .
Its still in there own hands but they need to start playing a lot better very poor the last 2 games

[footymad]

AS I SAID>>>>>>>DRAWS WILL KILL TEAMS>>>

2 Shock results and Coonagh and View should be very pleased...esp with the run in for Park and Prospect..

squekey bum time !!!
Looks like u were right about the draws.

[larrywhite]

Not probably...definitely. Disgrace of a pitch really. No way is it the correct size and the surface/slope is the worst around.

have you paced it larry :D i will tell you on tuesday for definate when i'm out there :D probably plays 80 yards down hill and 120 uphill so average outs at 100 yards :rolleyes:

[3 Heroes]

Is the St Pats pitch seriously legal? I mean you're practically taking a penalty on the half way line the pitch is that small
Bump:D

Knock boys told me lost 0-4 today, croom r red hot at mo, signing Bags (left legged midfielder) from hx was major + for dem dis season, was da missing piece of da croom jig saw in seasons past

if this pitch is so poor why dont teams refuse to play on it or collectively complain to the council about it to get it sorted out.:confused:

[gaiscíoch]

hey jock, spare u da exhaustive walk (in your state!), paced it earlier in da season, 88 yds (uphill or downhill!,) 12 short of da min, but suspect most pitches in all divs are borderline at best, what does anyone else think?

I suspect that it doesn't matter what size the pitch is!!!! Surely you should know by now what the pitch is like????:confused::confused:

[gaiscíoch]

The Knock' boys told me they lost 4-0 today. Croom are red hot at the moment, signing Bags (left midfielder) from Holycross was a major plus for them this season. He was the missing piece of the Croom jigsaw in seasons past...
It doesn't take too much effort to talk in English. I'm sure you learnt that in school....:mad::confused:

[larrywhite]

have you paced it larry :D i will tell you on tuesday for definate when i'm out there probably plays 80 yards down hill and 120 uphill so average outs at 100 yards

Lol...I look forward to the official measurement. 88 yards sounds about right though. :D

[Pike B]

If we manage to turn out the team we had Saturday night, I fancy us to pick up points and hopefully do enough to stay up. Watch this space.

Come on boys lets speak proper english not txt english..............:):):)

Ya we were beaten 3 0 by a good Croom side but we were sh**e. we did not play in the first half stood up and admired Crooms play, after the break we were 100% better but John carey was an absolute discrase for both teams with terrible decisions. he did not want any linesmen, no flages given to each sideline "i will do the lines myself" he made the prospect of a good game and turned it into a look at me arent i great...........
The standard of some refs is shocking but a good bunch of Croom lads came to Knockainey and the league is now defo theirs.......thank god we will not have to travel to Croom next season........any one else feel the same?

Just on the subject of travelling, we were out at your place last week. And whilst we got stuffed 4nil, I couldn't help notice that ye have a terrible terrible pitch. And right accross the road, a beautiful GAA field!! Any chance their groundsman would have a go at your pitch?

By the way, the little lad in the middle for ye with the hair, is a tidy footballer. Ye'll do well to hold onto him..

[Roadend]

John carey was an absolute discrase for both teams with terrible decisions. I shudder anytime I see him down to ref a game of ours.

[Pike B]

I shudder anytime I see him down to ref a game of ours.
I can't place him. Which guy is he then??

[Roadend]

He's from the county, out near Caherconlish I believe. If you've had him when playing a team from out that direction you will know him straight away. You'll have been ridden for 90minutes.

[Pike B]

Is it the guy with grey hair? Very GAA kind of ref?? If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he's shocking..

[Roadend]

That sounds like him alright.

[kingofkillteely]

I shudder anytime I see him down to ref a game of ours.

He is a disaster, for me he should be not allowed ref at any level. Bad refs are part and parcel of the game but he makes things dangerous by some of his actions. What makes me laugh is the amount of Caherconlish games he manages to "REF" each season.

[Pike B]

We had a minutes silence a few years ago before our match away to some country team,with him as ref. His exact word's were ' We'll have a minutes silence for George Best who died lads. Even though he was a protestant'.
The man's not right.

[kingofkillteely]

Is it the guy with grey hair? Very GAA kind of ref?? If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he's shocking..

Glad to see ye won the other day. Hope yer not as strong for Thurs evening! Was surprised to see One of yer former players playing for Murroe on Sat evening. Whats the story there?

Rob and a few others fell out with the manager and left. It was unfortunate alright. Hopefully he will be back next season. I think we should have a good 11 on Thursday alright. It won't be 8-1, I put it that way to you;)

We'll take a 1-0 win to be honest. We are on a good run at the moment so we want to keep it going. Could be missing one or two with injuries but as long as myself and you are playing, then the entertainment factor will be very high;)

[Pike B]

Ha ha ha... Very good. I'm the guy with the bad haircut. You'll know me ;)

understood PikeB but we do use the same grounds man but we own the Sportsfield (GAA) but unfortunatly the soccer pitch is not our own...... yes i agree there is some work to be done to our pitch but you have to work with what you have and we do have a good home record. and buy the way our field can host games when the sportsfield would be closed due to and i mean water logged.......best of luck PikeB with the rest of the season and i do hope you survive.....

Well as I said ye did stuff us, so I don't want to use the pitch as any excuse. But with the likes of that lad in the middle of the pitch, ye would benefit from a good surface. Improve all round.

Sorry to disagree with you but he is so bad i think he does not realise he is giving all the decisions to one side....then he gets a reality check and tries to make up for previous errors and gives all the decisions the other way....... i have read a good few messages on this thread about players giving it loads to the refs but this ref gives it loads to the players.....what he did not say to both teams yesterday was not worth mentioning.....he rides all teams it all depends where he was drinking the night before....

OK we have an idea on what your feelings are END TOPIC, i know knockainey very well and i know you are not angels yourself:D so lets call it quits on this and talk football please :D

[Pike B]

ok please stop with out of order comments like that mate, first your are disrespecting one of the best footballers ever and two you are disrespecting someone's religion, this is a soccer forum. if you wanna make comments like that thats what PM's are for.. sorry but had to say something :ball:
This is a direct comment by that referee!! I didn't say it mate. Read it right. It's just an example of this ref's state of mind. Don't shoot the messenger. Personally I couldn't give a toss about religion or George Best..

[Pike B]

OK we have an idea on what your feelings are END TOPIC, i know knockainey very well and i know you are not angels yourself:D so lets call it quits on this and talk football please :D
As for talking football, this man is giving his opinion of a ref who did their game at the weekend. Is that not football no?? You should know refs are a big issue in this town. Very few good ones.
