Dines are playing in the cup final this thursday night

[Abbey Road]

hsve to agree here,you can't rely on teams to do you a favour ,Mungret have there hard work in the league done and if they want to rest players thats there perogative,its unfortunate for Shannon and belive me we(balla)will be trying our best to beat the dines as we have to,we are in the same situation as yourselves,prospect beat summerville tonight which i predicted,if it was any other time in the season this would not have happened,i don't blame summerville for losing,its our fault we are in this position and no one elses, all shannon can do is win there own games and hope for the best

Legend.........

[Lev Yashin]

to say mungret didn't turn up tonight is a disgrace,the game was at 2 1 with 20 minutes to go.we've earned the right to play whatever team we want and it's not our fault ye have left it too late and are now depending on other teams to do ye favours.we have a final thurs and a final sunday,those games are our priority.ye have left it too late,geraldines play the right way and don't resort to route 1,grow up,the only people to blame for shannon not going up is shannon

Im not saying ye cant...but one of yer players came on here last week and stated that ye would be trying yer best to win the game...clearly that didn't happen if ye put out a "weakened" team...anyway look bottom line is we are where we are because we dropped stupid points over the season...we cant rely on anyone to win for us..we just have to win and hope Balla can do the same...

And as for your second statement...get a grip will you...the right way to play??? what is that exactly? surley the right way to play is playing the way you win?? you always play to your strengths simple as that...most of our team is over six foot so why wouldn't we bombard teams.

[CCCeltic]

Thought Croom and Balla played twice already? Why is this fixture outstanding?

to be honest if every team do not put our their best it is not fair on the rest of the league. try a bit of role reversal. All shannonman is asking is for the league to be 100% fair with everybody trying to win everygame.

If it was against a lower team that meant nothing then fine, but as promotion is at stake they should be respectful and play their full side.....
as said if the shoe was on the other foot i am sure mungreta nd the dines would nt be happy with shannon town

in relation to the route 1, surely you must not have enjoyed italia 90 so..:D

seems like what you'd expect from the ldms more like it....

I am sure if the dines are playing a cup final they would prefer it on a friday or sat night so players can celebrate if they won... it is a wonder the ldmc did not play the final on a monday night...:D

I think the problem is that the lawson cup is on this weekend too...and mungret are playing in that...so they had to have the 1A cup final on the thursday...and plus it gives us a chyance to go out and watch the balla geraldines game!

[dines08]

So you're saying mungret didn't try? Or weren't fair to shannon...gimme a break. Do you think shannon got the games they would of got at the start of the season off charleville and herbertstown recently? Not a hope. It happens all the time to all teams. The season isn't even over yet and the excuses and sour grapes are out. It's not done yet, we still have to beat balla.

there is no sour grapes. mungret did not play their full team due to resting players (admitted previously). if shannon town don't go up it is not over one game it is over the season.
it still does not excuse teams taking breaks when other teams have something to play for. but it is something in football that will never change.

Normally I don't think teams should rest players when there is a promotion race going on between other clubs, but i think the fact that we have 2 cup finals in 4 days allows for an exception to this rule, especially with the temperature conditions of tuesday evening. Every single club would have done the same thing.

It could also affect the bottom of the table,
Lets say Charleville were to beat Shannon tomorrow night, then that would mean that The Dines are automatically promoted, and thus playing a weakend team v Balla "B" in their last game (which would suit Balla)..........................Both final games for each team should be played at the same time on the same day, end of........

while i see your point it is still not a good thing to have happen......i am sure if ye were still going for the league ye would have had no problem fielding full strength teams for the league and the 2 cup finals....

but this is all done and over. best of luck for the premier next year....and in the cup final thursday...:D

He is in the gym doing extra training for the big game!The boss has him doing extra training after his emotional trek to the 'Big Apple' a couple of weeks back.

How long is it since Geraldines were in the premier?It seems a while now!
It would be good to see the 'Dines' go up as they have always been a good club from schoolboy up to junior level.Unfortunately over the last 15 or so years they have always lost their better players to other clubs.

one thing being over looked here is that mungret went out to play geraldines out in there place in the last few months well up for the game but the game was called off 3 times due to the pitch.I feel for shannon but these things happen.It happened us last year,going to watch dromore and teams didn't play their best teams,its a tough pill to swallow but it happens to everyone

Here here. Mungret players are entitled to pick and choose what games they play in, after all some of them have been doing it all season! When you consider yourself to be a superstar and a galactico why should you tog out for what you consider to be a meaningless game the week of 2 cup finals. ;)
Being serious about it though I know Geraldines weren't impressed with Mungret not playing any of their starting 11 last Tuesday. Even though they were glad of it on the night i'm sure the Geraldines management will use it as a motivational factor for the cup final this evening.

good man keith,achieved what you wanted anyway with the disruption you caused with this post,i'm sure everyone in mungret is delighted with you,out drinkin with the dines were you tonight

Geraldines seemed fitter , hungrier and more ambitious on the night. However with that i do believe that Mungret will find it easier ( not easy) than Dines next year cos they have better footballers. Mungret also lack leaders and are one of the quitest teams artound - vocally. I think both teams need to recruit during the summer but good luck ot both. Could n't be worse than granville and dromore..........seesm ot be a bit of inhouse fighting in mungret -God knows why ye have gone premier and club seems in good shape- Good luck to dines and to Mungret next year

Did someone go to town last night and have too much to drink? It's not wise to let your feelings known at 3.20 in the morning after a load of pints. I'm a Mungret man and have been for the last number of years, although after the way i've been treated this season I've learned that loyalty counts for nothing. If you want to pm me and tell me who you are we can have this out face to face. What's betting you won't though. It's easy to hide behind a computer screen.

Least you seem to have your sane head on...
what happened ye last night??
not like ye to lose a game like that?
was the missing keeper a big factor?

[Lev Yashin]

Think this baffled alot of us....i dont know keith and i certainly dont know what went on inside the mugret dressing room...but i was strange that he didn't play more for ye, the bugger always manages to score against me!!!

That said ye won the league so i guess the selection or non-selection was justified.:ball:

same here, ldmc dont seem to know themselves "ha" noting new there then. balla were supposed to have giving them a walkover dont know if there was any truth in it. funny one when are they, d ldmc's thinking of fitting the fixture in as it all comes down to who goes down or if there should be a playoff between the likes of cappamore if they fail to get anything from mungret they will not want to finish with a bad result out there and balla who r up against a geraldines team who in my eyes should already be up.:rolleyes:

we never gave them a walkover,played them twice already first game at the lit at the start of the season,lovely evening,game was supposed to kick off at 6.15,croom didn't arrive along until 6.30 so match didn;t go ahead till bout 6.45, mick bourke decided to play 40mins aside which i think both teams would have agreed to if he had asked both managers.He didn't obviously,at half time he was asked why he played 40,said because it would be dark if he played 45 each half.we complained to him,still played 40 in second half,we lost 2.1qobjection was lodged and upheld the next week.there was at least 20mins of light after game had finished too

[Lev Yashin]

Well im sure the management team will have ye up for it anyway!! ;)

[CCCeltic]

You would expect Balla to get the win they need in the Croom game and after the 2 cup finals you wouldn't expect Mungret to be at full strength for a trip out to Cappamore for what is a nothing game for Mungret so Cappamore could end up in a play off with Prospect. Dines better ensure that the ref plays the full 45mins a side tomorrow or Balla could get the game replayed and the season will never end! Some amount of politics in last few weeks. With Herbertstown taking 3 pts from Cappamore, Balla getting Croom match replayed and all the talk of Hill objecting about Prospect players.

our match was from the start of the season and we knew within a week it had to be replayed,why it took so long who knows,we've had a lot of free weekends before now and i'm sure croom have too.No politics involved,ref was in the wrong and i assume he admitted it as we got the objection and we were well within our rights to do so,had croom lost i'd be sure they'd have done the same

I would have to say that balla played the better football and were unlucky.. The dines will need to sign 5 or 6 players if there to go up to the premier..

[Lev Yashin]

Congrats to Geraldines on promotion. Table doesn't lie. Well done.

Watched the game tonight and thought Balla were the better team. but wasn't to be. Well done also to Balla who really put it up geraldines, but we wouldn't have expected any different ;)
