Assuming Balla can't go up a win on Thursday will promote Kilmallock won't it? Should be a cracking game.

Yea it looks like Kilmallock will win it now. It's a must win game for Mungret if they want to finish in second place. There could well be a few twists and turns yet with Dromore and Mungret to secure promotion.

massive game alright on thursday..i can't see dromore winning all there remaining matches after seeing them play twice against dines last week,a win for mungret would put them in the driving seat.Kilmallock seem to have the momentum going into the match but the home advantage for mungret could be the difference.

Updated with Bruff receiving a walk over versus Caherdavin in their last game, which is hardly fair on the Dines & Charleville.

I think there should be consequences of not fullfilling your fixtures, such as a points deduction for the start of the following season, 3pts deducted the following season for every game you fail to turn up to in the previous season................Any comments?

From todays Leader it looks like Caherdavin have given walkovers for remaining fixtures as they are down as having played 22 games in the table. Very tight for Geraldines, Shannon, Charleville, Bruff & Cappamore now. If 2 teams finish on the same points is it decided on gold diff?

as far as i know goal difference doesn't come into it as some games would have been called up early during the season.it would probably be a play-off

For any teams that finish on the same points in either the promotion or relegation battles it would be decided by a play-off.

Scandalous situation regarding Bruff getting a walkover against Caherdavin. Considering that Caherdavin drew with Geraldines a few weeks ago it's very unfair on the dines.
Knowing the Geraldines committee and management personally, I can't see them not objecting to this. They should at least be given there 2 points back. Anyone agree??

CCCeltic

28/04/2008, 3:45 PM

Sure the other teams that Caherdavin drew with would also be looking for the points if Dines were to get the two points. Could all get very political.

If Dromore beat Charleville tomorrow be real pressure on Mungret & Ball.

Going by your logic Bruff shouldn't get the points either because they didn't beat them. :eek: Look at it form Geraldines point of view. If they get relegated by either 1 or 2 points to Bruff its ridiculous. They'll have trained and played games for 9-10 months of the year and put in a lot of commitment
only to be relegated because Caherdavin fancied ending the season early!!

I agree with that.

Its a bit unfair on the other teams down at the bottom if some teams now get 3 points from Caherdavin without having played them. If they are giving walk overs for their remaining fixtures that means Dromore also get a handy 3 points.

I agree with Abbeyvale as well, in that there should be some kind of punishment for Caherdavin if they fail to fulfil their remaining games.

Alan Morton, what is with you and caherdavin. We have had the worst season anyone can imagine,and there you are trying to get us in trouble for next season aswell, If you, and many others had any respect for yer former club they would not be in the position that they are in now. You make me laugh alright.

Mr.Purtill
If you and your Caherdavin buddies had any pride in yourselves, ye would fullfill your remaining fixtures (after all its only 3 games), even if it meant ye playing youth players or squad players, at least ye would complete your season, and everyone of the other clubs would be happy (even if ye were hammered in each game, they would have no complaints)

It is very unfair on some teams as stated above, and when ye start a season then ye are expected to complete your season.

On the other hand, if yer 3 remaining games were against teams that had nothing to play for, then, I'd agree in maybe both teams receiving a point each or ye even giving the walkover, but for ye to carry on like ye have, is out of order and very unfair to the other clubs it effects, and therefore must have consequences (which is why I mentioned the scenario for next seasons points deduction) but then again isn't there a certain Mr.Neville involved with the LDMC? So ye getting a points deduction is very very unlikely.;)

abbeyvale

29/04/2008, 7:17 AM

charleville were given 3 points also...if that leader table is correct then we've got to feel hard done by...caherdavin gave us two very tough games this year, other teams gettin the points without working for it seems scandalous...all teams should be awarded full points from games against caherdavin, but then i would say that...does anybody agree? We've won 4 of our last 5 games but have dropped into the relegation places as a result of caherdavin pulling out

Really cant understand how the LDMC can justify giving teams 3pts whenever they feel like it (Bruff & Charleville), and then have the likes of the Dines suffer as they had lost points when they drew with Caherdavin..

Talk about running things ar*e ways

yes i definitely think there will be a few twists and turns yet, Dromore still have to play kilmallock and balla, and to be honest can't really see them getting 6 points from those games after seeing them scrape past geraldine in the league, a game geraldines could have got something out of. massive game for mungret on thursday night aswell. the race for second place might come down to the last game of the season for each club.

Cant understand criticism of LDMC. Caherdavin gave walkover to Bruff (3pts) the announced they would not be finishing the season. It follows the remaining games are also walkovers so teams get points.
Blaming the ldmc for Caherdavin's carry on is wrong.
I think there is a rule in place that after so many games (dunno quantity)results of games played stand.
I know it has happened in previous years.

Not blaming the LDMC, just cant understand 1) why they let it happen, and 2) If it was going to happen, then there should be consequences for it happening (ie; points deduction for the following season, as it obviuosly doesn't effect Caherdavin this season, and it actually helps them getting embarrased and also saves them money), this would stop teams from doing it in future.

Or another alternative would be to take the 3pts from Caherdavin and issue back to the clubs that lost those points during the season, therefore Caherdavin would be relegated with 0pts and all other clubs would be happy (MUST have the same rule for all clubs, in my opinion)

Im not picking on Caherdavin, Im just stating that it is very unfair on the teams that it may have a massive effect on/

Caherdavin have not pulled out or been thrown out of the league yet the rule is if any team gives 3 walkovers they will be thorwn out the table in the limerick leader was wrong they shouldnt have printed at all.caherdavin have offically done nothing in relation to pulling out from what i here and they have not given 3 walkovers so the table is incorrect

Honestly even if caherdavin pull out and there remaining fixtures all get 3 points, i still think the dines will be safe!!!! i have watched them play in there last 3 or 4 matches and they have been excellent.... Ger fitz seems to have come out of retirement still a bit unfit but has clawed them out of a major slump that they were in... Dines will stay up for sure...:D

what happened caherdavin this season, i mean last year they only for a late comeback from wembley at the greenhills and they could have been promoted!!

granted i no a few players they lost, likes of squeekyand carl, to go with a few others, but they surely should have done better than their standings suggest??have they any young fellas comin through?its a shockin decline.. seems to have been a few like it in the past few seasons with park too last season.
