we had a death in our camp a month ago and asked for a match to be postponed, ldmc refused. we ended up losing the match with a bare team. its a disgrace. you won't get anything other than bull-shi#t off the ldmc unless you are pike, janesboro or fairview

don't know about the other 2 clubs you mentioned but we might as well be banging our heads against a brick wall rather than ask the ldmc for a change of fixture or a postponement,last week our 17's were down for saturday and our minors sunday and monday,on friday they were informed our pitch was unplayable for saturdays game but would they call it off,no we had to wait for a ref and give him 30 quid and Bruff had to travel in,we found out saturday Coonagh and Caherdavin had rang and informed them both their pitches were unplayable and guess what they were called off,and Carew who were down to play our A team done likewise

Who in the LDMC have Shannon Town been dealing with?
This is an absaloute disgrace...............

Come on Gerry, name and shame the person that refused the game to be cancelled.

Condolances to the family in question for their loss.

balla3-2 star tough game balla went 3nil up to say there was no love lost between the two teams would be an understatement

Yep, we left this game behind us, and should have been 3/4 nil up before Balla went 1nil up, but we didnt take our chances.

Balla went 3nil up as we chased the game, and then we pulled 2 back for a tense finish, but even a draw would have been no good for us.

Looks like our chances of promotion are gone for this season, and its probably just as well, coz if we went up this season we'd probably come straight back down next season..............

your not wrong about the players comming through the club like in years gone bye but i wouldn't dream of disrespecting players that give there all for a team even if in my opinion and that means -- in this club their just not good enough to get out of this division we need players all over the park. The backbone of that team is made up of players who survived in 2A on the last day of the season that hardly sounds like a recipe for getting into premier,
Yere B team was very average last season. i'm amazed that any of those lads are playing 1A this season apart from 1 or 2 maybe

there are 6 players starting every game from last seasons B team and a few more going in and out it makes you wonder how bad the standard of 1A is this season

it certainly does mate. the standard of 2A last season was nothing special either. we've played croom and geraldines in the cups this season, beat croom and lost to geraldines. there was very little difference between the teams to be honest. mungret are a very good side though in fairness and deserve to go up to premier. we played summerville B twice last year and they were quite poor on both occasions, didn't score 1 goal against us and we're not anything special

There's a long way to go in this yet...if shannon were to beat us i can't see them gettin maximum points from their games against star and croom next week...there will be points dropped by everybody in the run in. It's just who drops the least amount and who they drop them against. If we beat shannon we can afford to slip up afterwards and still be favourites to go up. It's all still very tight

Based on the above your team should be in 1A and just behind Mungret. Does your logic mean that when any lower division team beats a higher division team in a cup they are good enough to take that teams place in the higher division? Wonder how ye would get on against the Croom team that lined out over the last few weeks.

i never said we should be in 1A. we're in 2A because that's where we deserve to be. we beat a good croom side and there was very little difference between the teams on the day. and i'm proud of my team for beating a team 2 divisions higher so don't try to twist it into anything else or mis-quote me. it's people like you who try to start arguments on this site and irritate people into a slagging match

why not if KP were in 1A they'd pick up a few players and do fine, croom are a bit of joke at times,spanking teams one week and not turing up other weeks. the standard in 1A is nothing special or premier apart from 5 or 6 teams,

Not trying to stir anything up. You should be proud of your team for beating a team 2 divisions higher but a one off result against a side in a higher division tells you nothing about the standard of football in that division. The standard is certainly not high in 1A or as your mate said the bottom six teams in the premier but in saying that you don't see many teams go from 1b up to 1a then the following season get promoted to Premier. Look how Prospect & Croom got on this year in 1A. They both noticed a difference after getting promoted last year.

Kilmallock and Dromore got promoted to the Premier League last year from Division 1A after being promoted the previous year from Division 1B. The standard of Division 1A is shocking this season compared to previous years.

It was last season that Dromore & Kilmallock got promoted, this year Croom & Prospect are no where near promotion. I agree the standard is poor but it is even poorer the lower you go in the divisions.

i wouldn't fully agree with you there mate. this year there is little or no difference between 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B. knocklong beat corbally's premier team, cals beat dromore, athlunkard beat croom and there's many more examples. this is the 1st season in limerick that the standard has been so similar between these divisions. even moyross in 3A would give most 1A teams a good run

You can come up with statistics to back any argument. How about this one: Mungret hammered Pallas Utd 8-2 in the Munster junior at a canter earlier in the season. Pallas are pi$$ing 2A at the moment. Are you trying to tell me there is no difference between both teams. Also Caherdavin were easily relegated from 1A last year and are in the shake up to be promoted from 1B this year. 1A is poor but as previously stated on this thread, the divisions get poorer and poorer as you move on down. Ye might have beaten Croom earlier in the season but i can assure you ye would'nt live with them now considering the team they are fielding at the moment.

you have no way of knowing how we would get on against croom, that's a hypathetical argument which makes no sense, unless you organise a match between us and croom and go down and watch it. as for caherdavin, they had no players last season and a manager who didn't put in the effort. this season they have 16 or 17 players turning up fighting for places and a very good manager. and if you read my previous posts you will see that i have said mungret are the best team in 1A by a mile and deserve to be premier. pallas are the fittest team in 2A and that's why they are walking the league, they came up against a quality mungret side who made bits of them with their passing game. the matches in the cups between teams from 1A to 2B have been good close games

Firstly thanks to Geraldines for agreeing to change the time of the game, it means alot and it shows that there is still room for compassion even between two clubs fighting for promotion, It wont be forgotten.

And thank you to everyone who sypathised with me and my family we really appreciate it.

As for the LDMC im not going to say anything about them its not my place, they know what they have done and what they do so they have to try live with their decisions.

What about when star(in the runninf for promotion in 1a) played our B team in the munster junior..3-2 was the final score to star but we should have won that game(abbeyvale i think will agree)...and pallas are not running away with 2a....if we win our games in hand we are 4 points off them...thats not exactly running away with the league!!

Lads this argument could go on forever..........your in the division your in, because you deserve to be no higher, end of story...............

Lower division teams can beat higher opposition in the cups, thats football, but thats not saying that they could put it in week in week out against higher opposition.

totally agree,we (balla b)played regional earlier this year when they were top of the prem,they beat us 3-1 scoring there third goal with the last kick of the game,it was a good contest but if you take the arguments and the points people are makin based on one off cup games then we should be no where near the foot of 1A but how you play week in week out in your own league is how your team should be based,The season before last when dromore and kilamllock got promoted was not the norm,Kilmallock were a super side imo and i am surprised to see them struggle,dromore were not so good but played to there strenghts(long balls to there big players and a strong physical team)as they are doin this year and could stay in the premier,as was said the standard in 1a is bad,but if you are basing things on the last few years the prmier standard has dropped bar 1 or 2 teams as has the standard in every other division

Geraldines 4-0 Shannon Town...superb result and giant step towards the finishing line...1 up at half time flattered us. Shannon were the better team in the first half...think we were very good in the second half creating chances and converting. Although saying that our goalkeeper was man of the match. 3 or 4 super saves...our second goal at the start of the second half was worthy of winning any game. Don't think shannon can argue that we didn't deserve to win. Just the margin maybe

I think if Shannon and Star draw next Tuesday evening both teams will be out of the running for promotion for certain.

The Dines require a maxmimum of 4 wins from 5 games to be promoted now.

Shannon Town 2 Star Rovers 1
Game played in gale force winds...that said both teams tried to play ball and we probably pipped the first half with star taking the second. Happy to get the win and it keeps the pressure on Geraldines

i was talking about the shannon teams for such a back log of fixtures but its fair bad to here that its happening to soom city teams too. is there any thing that can be done for next seson. i know weather had a huge facto this year but the likes of a back log of 4 games one week and such a contrast of having a cup game only the following week
