View Full Version : Limerick Division 1A 2008/09
Agree..Its better to have the points early. As the season goes on they'l keep pickin up the points they need to get back imo where they belong. Id like to see them pass out regional again in the near future.
i'm glad you said imo, this year its good to see the mungret lads staying quiet on this site,last year imo a lot of people thiught they were getting a bit ahead of themselves,even at this early stage you have to fancy them to go up,as abbeyvale said the goals for is good but for me the goals against is the statistic you should go by,keeping clean sheets gives everyone confidence,

Its early days yet..who knows what'll happen wit injurys and players being away.its very early days yet all the games they've played have been at home.it'll be interesting to see how they get on when playing on the poorer pitches.

mungret are excellent going forward but it is possible to get at them at the back...i know a few of their players well and up front and especially wide midfield they are excellent...grinding out results is gonna define their season when it comes to their away games after christmas...i definately think they're the team to beat and anyone who finishes above them will win the league...from our point of view just goin on the squad we have and the way things are goin i think everyone involved wit the dines would be disappointed if we didn't go up...thats definately the aim, we know its gonna be very tough tho

It'll be 2 from Mungret, Dines, Summervile and Star IMO.
Think Shannon will fall away.

Do you not think ye've dropped to many points already bud no? I think this year wil be a year too soon for summer vil,its a very new and young team,next season i think will be their year again but then again you'd never no,saw dine's twice this season,think their a bit light,same kinda build to the summer vil team,maybe its a year too early for them too,so for me it'd be mungret and then have your pick,prospect have only 3 games played,and their best eleven would beat any team in d league,so i wouldn't rule out them if they made a few shapes.
Prospect will fall away i think,the star team i played against at the start looked very good even tho we had a few donkeys in our team at the time they had a good team on paper also and im supprised they are not near the top,i havent played against summerville but from what i heard they were not that good,i think most of the teams would struggle at the moment in premier

By the sounds of it that Roche fella would want to watch his back if that young lad Cussen is as good as you reckon leather. What do you think about it Dallas have you seen Mike Cussen play? Do you think he is better than James Roche?

No I can't say that I have had the pleasure of watching him but who knows it's always good to have competition for places in a team. I have seen him play GAA alright and he is a big strong lad but I don't know if he his better or not.

If ye had taken your chances ye would have scored 3 times but if mungret had taken all their chances it would have been at least 8. Mungret made hard work of yesterdays game and hill celtic were in the game until the last ten minutes when mungret got their second. i think mungret deserved the win considering the amount of chances they had.
Never, They had lots of shots but most of them outside the box and Toldo had them all covered..The first goal was also controversial, the ball came off the bar and straight back down then out, the ref gave the goal even though he couldnt see it and also if he did see it there was no line on the goal line, I think it was harsh of him to give it although it was a goal from where I was standing....the second goal was also dodgy....Your striker played it forward and it hit off of one of our defenders and fell straight to one of your players straight through he went on to hit the post before it was followed up.
Agree..Its better to have the points early. As the season goes on they'l keep pickin up the points they need to get back imo where they belong. Id like to see them pass out regional again in the near future.
Id swap points with them if they wanted. ;)
have seen summerville and while they played well I think mungret were a lot better all over the pitch than they were,have not seen star yet so personally can't comment
Star were the best team we played so far even though we had a weakened team, I think they will move on up.

I dissagree, the back 4 are very solid and hard to break down, they double up alot when defending and credit to there wingers for that, they are good up front also, they hold up the ball well.

I dont think we have dropped too many points............when you consider we had some very important players missing for us (after the Hill Celtic game), and had to travel to Cappamore and Herbertstown.
We have 4pts after 4 games and although it doesnt sound great, we are 9pts behind 2nd place with 2 games in hand, so to answer your question, No I dont think we have dropped too many points already (especially when any of the teams in this league are more than capable of beating the others).

There was nothing dubious about Mungrets 2 goals, perfectly good goals. The ref was a bit away from the first goal that hit the crossbar and then went behind the line. Mungret did have at least 8 chances to score, but only took two.

Well I told him ye were good actually better than Mungret from the games we played against you both but they were both away for us and Shannons pitch was harder to play on given the conditions on the day, Shannon wont fall away neither will Mungret IMO unless they both lose key players.
So no busting them when ye play them Abbeyvale. lol.

I agree, it did go behind the line but from where the ref was standing there was no way he could tell and also there was no goal line for him to make his judgement.......
We had chances, ye were better than us on the day but I think ye were happy to go away with the 3 points given the chances we missed. ;)

Lads Mungret have the league won and thats a fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No team will get within 15pts of them
Geraldines are 2nd i think and they are absolutely abysmal
Shannon i havent seen so i cant comment
I reckon its between Prospect and Star or Shannon for 2nd
The rest of the teams dont even deserve a mention there so bad

How do make out geraldines are absolutely abysmal
shows you how much you know we have beaten both prospect (home) and star (away) and we still have to play shannon home and away and mungret wont win the league by that much so we will see at the end of the season there is no tropheys given out in october

It was star/summerville/herbertstown/cappamore and geraldines who beat a poor Hill celtic team,since we got our players we have played shannon and mungret,two tough games to play while were figuring out who and where to start,the second half of the season we will be capable of beating any team once we settle considering we have star/shannon/mungret/geraldines and summerville at home

Top 5 will be (in no particular order), Mungret, Shannon, Star, Summerville & Dines.

Geraldines are a good side, not the best we have played but they are far from abysmal and could be there or there abouts.....
I heard that ye were lucky to beat a poor Hill Celtic side, and also struggled very badly v Newport (in one of the cups)
They didnt struggle to beat a poor Hill Celtic side they did well to beat a Hill Celtic side that have only now come together and got a team....it was Star who beat a very poor Hill Celtic side.
but every team has an off day...
We have had 7 so far in the league. :D

We dont have Summerville at home they beat us at Hogan Park, I agree with all the rest.

Twice. Away to Hill Celtic and away to Kilmallock, both of which were played in the first 3 weeks of the season. Mungret haven't lost a league game at home or away for 14 months. IMO this is mainly due to the poor standard of the league more than anything else. (just in case any of you think i'm boasting about Mungret). Division 1A is miles below the standard of the top premier sides.

it really is a dog fight to get out of 1A alright, nothing against the teams but its just hard for everyone to sustain their form with everyone capable of beating anyone on the day

enough not to get promoted for starters. never said anything about losing games by the way said that ye would fall apart away from home. drawing to many games can just be as costly. ye can beat the best and the worst at home but away from home ye cant seem to grind out the results to get ye promoted.

You can say the same about wembley a few years ago, who were the one of the best playing sides in 1a and for few years couldn't get out of 1a but fair dues to wembley they took the step up a couple of years ago and got into the premier. :)

Mungret dropped more points at home last season than they did away. What ever way you try and dress it up your point makes no sense. If you're going to come on here and post about certain teams you should know your facts because when it comes to Mungret you obviously don't. It was Mungret's start that cost them last season ie. 1 win and 4 losses from the first 5 games that cost them promotion, not their away form.

So with yer 5 wins out of 5 so far this season, ye should go on and win it handy now!!!

I don't think any team truly stands out in 1a,yes mungret have won 5 from 5 but i don't think you'll find them saying that they strolled through any of there games(as they would do if they were as good as you make out),they are a good team and have some premier division quality players but as was seen when they got beaten by carew in 1 of the cups they are not premier standard yet imo.

Looks like the pressure is on Mungret to to see if they can beat Prospect in cals on sunday morning, that is if cals is playable after this weeks weather. Some people on this thread think that Mungret are only capable of winning at home which is rubbish considering Mungret last 14months results away from home. I'm predicting a Mungret win anyway.

Mungret are a great team imo with great attacking players and will easily beat most teams home and AWAY and im sure time will prove this

Ok lads, been reading alot of your posts recently and something of a theme comes out.... If They Don't Agree with You, Then its Rubbish ....
The last time i checked we are part of a free speech nation and this is what this forum is all about, if you don't agree what someone says then say i dont agree and leave it at that and put your point of view to the forum. If you start insulting a person's views which he or she believes (which they are very entitled to say unless breaking foot.ie rules) with comments like "you haven't a clue about football" etc then i will have to do something about it....
