glad he's ok anyway. can't believe the manager was attacked as well. i remember playing against pallas around 5 years ago and they had 3 players sent off and we beat them 1-0. they were threatening the ref after the game and his car was vandalised. so it's obviously an ongoing thing with them. can't be allowed to get away with it



Unless the refs or a few clubs complain them to the LDMC then they're wont be anything done about it!!!

We were missing 4 starters, but in fairness we didnt perform either.

We played well for the first 20mins and went 1up (prob should have 4 up) but went in 1-1 at HT (when they scored through a peno), then we had a player sent off in the last 10mins, and they went on to get the winner (from a corner) in injury time.


Same thing happened us today,herbertstown are cat,we were one up and they got 2 soft goals,usual 3 culprits not to turn up begley,quinn and mark daw no sign of them,the players we have who stepped in are not 1A players but they tried in fairness,we signed dathi stewert and declan mccormack from prospect today the'll make a big differnce.

i see summer vill had a good win yesterday?what kind of team have they this year?from what i was told they were tipped to struggle this season.. Any match reports?

Well Cossy.Match was pretty good yesterday.End to end stuff.We got the 1st goal through shane fahy.Played through one on one and made no mistake..Balla then equalised shortly afterwards.1-1 at the break.Balla then pressed hard in the 2nd half..They got a peno but our keeper saved it..we went on then to score 2 goals..Balla tired somewhat after the penalty miss..Summerville deserved it in the end...

pretty accurate except for ye were 2.1 up when we got peno,don't think we tired as your third goal came when we were pressing for equalizer,ye did deserve it and best of luck for the rest of the season

If anything we have gained players which should be making us stronger,at the start of the season we had 19 players,first 3 or 4 games everyone got a decent chance and we were probably a bit unlucky with results,If you hear any reports from any sides we have played they will tell you we are playing well but we are making silly mistakes and they are leading to goals,don't htink we have kept a clean sheet yet,for sundays game against summerville imo i think we thought we had nothin better to do than turn up and beat them which is the wrong way to take any team,the week before against caheconlish we battled them all over the pitch,attitude was great and we won well.
Turnouts for the last 2 games are down plus we have a few injuries and we have started this season the way we finished last season,picking and choosing which games we want to give 100% in.

Totally opposite for ye tthough,great start,whats the difference between this year and last year

The start of last season was a complete transition for us, pretty much the entire squad left and all new players were brought in, mostly from the minor team progressing to junior, we had a bad start and looked in a bad way but the talent that was there was never in doubt really, just a matter of standing up and being counted. This season we've lost a few players but the signings we've made have really kicked us on, we're gettin good numbers training and there's great commitment there...we're not gettin carried away tho, long season ahead and we know you get nothin for a good start

jesus that's crazy. any more news on disciplinary action against pallas? they give limerick soccer a bad name with that type of bullshi*. nobody wants to see players getting injured by deliberate tackles. bloody disgrace if you ask me. if one of the charleville players was kicked in the head pallas should be thrown out of the league and cup

Seen the match. Need to put some kind of balance in these crazy posts. Referee was a disgrace. Pallas scored twice - once player was clean through on goal, centre half took him down, as forward was goin down, got a toe to the ball and poked it past the keeper. Ref blew, hesitated...centre forward said "ref if its not a goal, then its a sending off!", ref gave free out to charleville!!

Same scenario in 2nd half. same centre half pulled down the same player when he was through on goal, right on the 18 yard line....centre half stood up and held up his hands admitting liability, ref gave him a yellow!! Is that not a red card offence??

Or what about the free kick that was scored by Pallas from about 10 yards outside the box on the right hand side? Player stuck it without anyone gettin a touch on it, ref disallowed it and said it was indirect!! This when Charleville had formed a wall!! Why form a wall if the kick is indirect from a crossing position??

That player got injured but it was from the melee that the Charleville No 6 (Brian Fitzgibbon) started by punching the Pallas left back in the mouth. There was a bit of handbags then trying to break up the row when Charleville no 10 waded in and clocked one of the centre halves...then all hell broke loose...and the no 10 was the guy that ended up going to hospital. The whole charleville line ran in, then the pallas subs. There was about 25 charleville people against 15 pallas.A complete melee. I thought they were going to get massacerd because of sheer numbers...but two charleville guys got knocked out somehow despite the numbers, then the fight subsided. I hope that no 10 is allright, but from what I seen, dont start a war if you didnt bring your guns!
Up Kilfinane!

...maybe that was because 2 pallas players got clocked before the full melee broke out...and do you think the ref (must have been a charleville guy!!) would dish out the appropriate punishment?? not a chance! Standard of refeering for a munster junior cup game was so poor I cant believe it. Was talking to a couple of charleville supporters (who didnt run into the melee) before the melee actually started, and he said he felt sorry for Pallas for 2 perfectly good goals disallowed, and the fact that Charleville centre half should have been sent off TWICE, for the very same offence...being the last man back and pulling down the same forward both times! He got one yellow, and got a free in his favour for the other one, even when he held his hands up to admit liability!! Refereeing defied belief. He took all the competition out of it, wouldnt discipline charleville for throwing the 1st punches...was very weak! I even felt exasperated for Pallas...because he was denying a 2A team the right to beat a 1A team on football terms...maybe he just wanted the upper division teams to be involved in the shake up. Disgraceful, ruins the competition of the cup.

So its the ref's fault 40 people decided to have a fight knocking two people out and putting one person in hospital.

Come on, no matter how you try to justify the actions of these people, they decide to have a fight. there in control of there own emotions and they decided they had the right to fight on a soccer field and turn it into a melee, they decided they were going to put someone in danger of being seriously hurt.... they are at fault no one else :mad:

Jock i know your a ref yourself and i really do have the utmost respect for the job ye do but from the sounds of the match reports this ref was a contributing factor to the fighting. Sure people have the choice to fight or not but come on he hardly helped matters. I understand how hard the ref's job is but if he's not up to it then he shouldnt be doing it... Ive had to ask for a certain ref not to do any of our games because some of the decisions he made were that bad id go as far as calling the guy a cheat and i dont say that lightly..

Have to agree here with dared. Some of the refs in town are of a very bad standard and their decisions can lead to players getting frustrated and hitting out. I know there is a shortage of refs at the moment but some of the guys doing the job are in for the money and dont have a clue when it comes to football.

Also to Jock, your signature is a good endorsement for refs. If only all were like that. Some refs you cant even ask how long is left and they threaten to book you...

I dont condone the use of violence at all weather thats fighting or a late challenge and people need to just learn to get on with it. But lets be honest if a team thinks their being treated unfairly and if what the match reports are to go by they were, then its very hard for guys to accept..

Its all a learning curve for me mate, only been in it for year and half, and now i'm really enjoying it. Have learned alot and got great advice from refereein all levels and will look forward to using these if i get the opportunity to do top games... dont worry you'll see me around for years especially as my wife has hid my passport :D

Jock, not tryin to justify it…violence is wrong anywhere, nevermind on a football field…but where does the ref start to take accountability and responsibility? A Charleville supporter (one who didn’t run in) was laughing at the start of extra time, sayin that Pallas should have been 3-0 up playing against a ten man Charleville. Then Charleville no.6 punched their left back…time for the referee to get the red out!…didn’t happen…then in the middle of the handbags, no.10 waded in with a punch on the pallas centre half…I think that was the last straw for the Palestinians…no justice in the game itself, and now no justice when punches were thrown…and the melee broke out! I don’t care what happens but if it was my team getting dumped out of the munster junior when we had played by far the better football, then I’d be incensed as well…if you cared about fairness, consistency and proper competition…you’d have to be incensed. Heres a question, theres a way to deal with players who step over the line, what happens to the (blatant hometown decisions) referee? Nothing. Theres no appeals process, it gets brushed under the carpet, and gets talked about in pubs for months afterwards.
And don’t say this too loud, cos they’ve beaten us already, this Pallas team can play football, and I tip them for promotion to 1B, if suspensions don’t wreck them. Yeah they’re physical, but all the better teams can mix the physical and the football. And there was nothing wrong with the way they played against Charleville…they were on the ropes for most of the game…but that referee?!? I’ll be dreading a trip to Charleville if we were to have the same ref!

All i will say Football Fan as a former player,

players need to learn the line between Frustration and Abuse & Violence.

Its simply a choice of the player if they want to cross it or control themselves and try other means to vent it, and if the decide to cross it then it no one elses fault than there own.:ball:

...and still the question is unanswered. Whats the refs role in this, and who is he answerable to? I'll say it again, dont condone violence in any walk of life, especially on the football field. For example if you take law enforcement out of society, and the gardai arent there to enforce law and order to a just and equitable degree...what are you left with? Absolute chaos! Potential is the same on a football field, you take the law maker out (or in this case a crooked ref) what will you be left with???

dont actually know, but whether he got it wrong on purpose or got it wrong because of sheer incompetency, it doesnt matter....though it looked like a blatant case of taking sides. Had to be seen to be believed!

...For example Jock, if you had called all those decisions as described above, between any 2 teams, nevermind Pallas and Charleville, wheteher you did it out of incompetence or blatant favouritism, would you expect to walk off the field without at least a major protest?? theres bound to be ruptions for that kind of decision making...!

A referee role is to officiate a match under his or her interpretation of the Laws of Soccer (everybody is human so won't be the same all the time) he or she is only answerable to his or her branch,

A players role is to play the game in the manner and conduct that it was designed to be played in.

Its for your club to report to the LDMC any incidents you feel should be reported (not for the players to have a mass maul on a pitch) thats what they are there for and then they will act in your behalf.

Now i'm not saying anymore on this subject.

Cause your point is i need to think about my decisions from now on cause i might cause a mass brawl in the future.
Not going to happen... END OF
