[leather]

when did all the home teams for the thursday matches get lights installed???

[superhero]

The clocks change this weekend so the LDMC in it's infinite wisdom has decided to put games on Thursday night....... not the smartest move seeing as it will be getting dark around 7.30 or that, but sure nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to them

agree they could not even wait a week. watch what time it gets dark at tonight and judge. imaging if it is a cloudy day ??

[leather]

Next 2 fixtures for balla could be interesting.....where will the balla v Fairview match be played..

[Fairkop]

summerviles position in table not too healthy and they are leaking goals.their defence and keeper must be poor enough,whats the story with them lads,taught they had a decent start to the league...have they any B players they can use.

[Halfback]

LIT, lights if needed
Hardly need lights Sun morn in LIT against Fairview.!!! Agree with leather judging how early it got dark tonight will be tight to finish midweek games this early & 2 big games for Balla, could have a big part to play in league positions at the end of the season.

[Ronald]

Who do people think will win the league this year?
I think that the winner will come from Balla & Pike & Fairview
I think Regional will fade away, lack of bottle!!
Boro & AA out of it!

its between Pike & Balla, but I'd fancy Balla myself.

Yeah things are pretty bad below alright and we are leaking a lot of goals...We are using one or 2 b players at the moment but we are confident that we can turn things around and do just enough to stay up...Our keeper has been away for a few weeks and not trainin with us midweek....Also a lot of our team work swing shifts and nights and all that ...Not making excuses but these are the facts.....But as i said we will plug away and hopefully do enough to stay up@!!!

2 defeats for star coming up seen them sunday they were terrible again like a pub team:eek: sooner they get relagated the better no place for them in the premier

[Neutral Jo]

Would you not be better off worrying about the plight of Granville?
You do represent Granville if my memory serves me correct?
And were you not playing @ the same time?
Seems your trying to stir up some controversy?

I can assure you this idiot is not from Granville. I know exactly who he is and I sent him a PM some time ago telling him if he didn't stop being so sarcastic towards other clubs I would name him. That still stands, he is on a final warning!!

[no17 fan]

i think the league will go to balla this year and if there is to be an upset i'd fancy aisling to surprise people,,the best team i've seen this year,
who do ye think will go down i,m summerville so unbiasdly i think granville and corbally for the drop

they're a right clever bunch in HQ,why not wait a week or two?surely common sense would tell you its a bit early,but then again this is the ldmc we're on about

Ya to be fair Aisling on there day are as good as anyone in town.
However i think this season will be beyond them. They seem to lack consistency. Can anyone from Aisling name there starting 11? Everytime i check there team they seem to have different players?

I think its set up for Balla to win the league but as i'v said before i dont think they are the best in town. They have got into a good position and will fight it out with Fairview and Pike. Fairview wont lose to Balla i reckon. I actually think Fairview will win it.

If we were offered this was the way it would turn out i would take it hands down!!!But we have to play both these teams so it could go anyway at all!!

Trust me nobody wants to know, in fairness, whne we were playing games early in the season with 5 or 6 B players starting games, everyone said I was making excuses, so expect the same bud.

[abbeyvale]

2 defeats for star coming up seen them sunday they were terrible again like a pub team:eek: sooner they get relagated the better no place for them in the premier

In fairness I think we held our own until Fairview went 2-1 up.
I even heard the View defence say at 1-1 "come on lads, we're in for a real battle", so that itself says it all for me.
In saying that when we went 2-1 down (and then 3-1 down a minute later) a lot of heads dropped, and thats not what you need when your fighting relegation, but we'll keep plugging away and with a few players due back in the next 2/3 weeks, we can only get stronger.
I'd take 2pts from the next 2 games now, if offered.

[abbeyvale]

If we were offered this was the way it would turn out i would take it hands down!!!But we have to play both these teams so it could go anyway at all!!

We have 9 league games remaining and the way I see it is if we can pick up 10-11pts from those games I reckon we should be safe.

Remaining games : Home : Summerville, Granville & Wembley
Away : Pike, Balla, Regional, Boro, Corbally & Aisling.

The 3 home games are must wins for me, and we are then more than capable of picking up at least a point away to Corbally, and hopefully Wembley & Aisling wont have anything to play for when we meet them.

What are ye'r remaining games?

I think these are our remaining games
Home: granville,wembley,balla,regional
away:pike,star,aisling

Pretty sure this is what we have left....Hopefuly take granville at home and maybe wembley and sneak a point off balla or regional..the only result i can see away is against ye...Only saying this cause we beat ye already but ye are good at home!!

AA always have 1 or 2 missing. first choice starting 11 would probably be something like:
1. Gilmartin
RB. Mescall
LB. Byrnes
CB. Keenan/Dalton
CB. McDonald
RM. Murphy
CM. Meskell
CM. Sheehan/Hurley
LM. Roe
CF. Cusack
CF. Cummins

Think it might just be a year 2 early for Fairview and id have to fancy Balla.I do think Fairview are gonna be very strong in the coming years.They are very young and have some very talented youth players coming through.

Ye'll be doing well to pick up an away point to Corbally, especially as you don't have them amongst your remaining away fixtures.

A few reasons

Aisling have a big squad of A players, the squad was tested last week against St Michaels despite the fact that Aisling were missing 5 players that would normally start they were able to field an equally strong team.

Most players can play in more than one position

Players get injured

Different teams picked for different game plans

Competition for places

Thats fair enough Whitestripe and glendale but do ye give yerself
a chance at the league or would ye be happy with the cup runs?
It seems to me looking from the outside in that ye are more of a cup team at the moment? And as i said can compete with the best on any day.
Maybe next few years can establish a league winning team?

I think it takes a few years to get the right consistancy to win a league and then go on and sucessfully defend it. We are happy with the MJC run and have put in some good performances, Boro 3-1 Carrick 3-1 St Michaels 4-2, however we are not getting carried away with anything.
I would prioritise setting Aisling up as a serious contender for the league before I would start to look at the FAI and MJC competitions. There is a good squad of players signed, training is varied, different and well attended and more importantly the gear is nice so we are heading in the right direction imo.

Hard to know who will win the league or who will be relegated, Balla have set themselves up nicely as have Pike but the View are putting together a strong team, might be too much for them this year? Still alot of games to be played and hopefully there will be a few surprises.
