[da bishop]

lads,after four or five rounds of the league we have seen some games become non events,some teams are taking heavy beatings so early in the season,are standards gone that poor.are we lacking in quality in terms of players and managers,are the teams not training hard enough.

Davy Wall was there and togged out today,only back training recently. Sniffer should be back involved with the 1st team soon enough. And then Alan Barry was up training in Pike on Thursday. Once it hit 4-0 for Pike the ref called every Offside that was questioned. Could and probably should have been more, Corbally didn't even have a Sub that I could see. Doesn't bode well for this early in the season.


in fairness to corbally they have played the top 4 teams

i would agree with this post.the league seems to be split in 2 so far this season.there are at least 3 teams this year who in my opinion are not up to much compared to your usual 1 or 2 teams.there will be long seasons ahead for wembley,corbally,dromore in my book.i think granville and kilmallock will gather enough points at home to be ok.

Yes.Standard out of some teams is very poor.And then there's limerick city's nightlife.

[On The Ball]

Exactly.Wait till they play all the teams round them at the bottom.Wont be much in it at all id say.

[halo16]

still a very bad result for them today though.was at the game.handy win for pike away from home.game was over at half time.

[halo16]

Yes.Standard out of some teams is very poor.And then there's limerick city's nightlife.

id agree with you there on da ball.alot of teams will have problems with that over the coming season and so far it seems with the results we have been getting on sundays that afew teams are having problems with lads on the beer.hard to get away with carrying hungover players against the better teams.

[halo16]

any reports from any of the other games?the boro and aisling looked like a close encounter?any report from this game?did fairview and balla win as handy as there scoreline suggests?any reports on them 2 games?

[oscar]

Boro 1-2 Aisling

close game but if Boro put their chances away they would of won handy,story of their season so far,fair play to the Aisling players for their performance,shame can't be said about their manager,he's conduct was disgraceful,he punched 1 of the smallest players on the pitch,your a big man Sully....disco derek also got the line for throwing a punch,his first hit since his Remix days

Boro are too reliant on Clarke, I know Monty scored today but in fairness he couldn't miss and he missed another serious chance! I see Boro are 6th in the table 8 points off the top already...

[oscar]

like i said missing too many chances,need a win thursday against Pike or season could be over

[starbar]

Corbally 0-6 Pike Called off with 15minutes to go.

Brazier 2,Nabs 2,Hartnett,Boyle.

Perspective is a funny thing - Aisling missed the same amount of chances as the Boro? A draw would have been a fair reflection on the game?

As for the scuffle - it was handbags for God sake.

[starbar]

nothing handbag about a manager punching a player on the touch line :

[paddy angelo]

does anyone know has enda quaide finished reffing or what ,saw him in rathurd on tues night and at the balla fairview match on thurs night and is not down for games on the paper

Dead right a win is needed or forget about the league its big ask as it is!

Was there anyone sent off besides derek?

[faces]

can you or someone else out there tell me why teams are struggling.ok dont bother i know already why.the reason being that you have the teams with the few bob going around to other clubs with no money to offer money to their best players and weakening their team.there is only 1 or 2 teams playing in the premier with home grown players and fair play to them.the love of the game and love of the club u were raised with is gone out the window.

i would disagree with the above,maybe some clubs are paying some players "expenses".balla are a top club as are regional and aisling(dont think any of these are in a situation to pay players).i think its the professional attitude towards training and improving the clubs that attracts the players and not the money.all the top clubs like fairview,janesboro and pike will keep attracting other clubs players because of their excellent set ups.all other clubs can do is strive to improve their clubs so that they can compete.i know i would rather play with a club with a professional approach rather than a club who might not be able to field 11 players due to lads on the **** or missing because they have a gaa or rugby match.

[the dazzler]

lads who was sent off for the boro sunday plus davy wll is getting a transfer from pike tomorrow pike man said this dont think davy has the interest anymore

[Jock MIB]

He is out injured at moment as well as few others :ball:

[HuRya]

Why wasn't the angel in all this - Bobby Gregg sent off??
After all he did punch john o dwyer off the ball and seemed well able to jump in studs first throughout the game...
It was a fine game between two very good sides.. Aisling took their chances - ye didn't. Get on with it - starting with the Pikey's on thursday nite

[oscar]

thats not like bobby:p

[whitestripe]

rise out of me dalton he thumped someone in the face while that player was trying to separate 2 other players,what they were involved in was handbags,what sully done was cowardly

Stephen Grant went in to seperate two players? He left the field of play to get involved.

If you want cowardly acts - what about the little fellow Bobby Gregg hitting John O'Dwyer off the ball when he was not looking.

[oscar]

must of missed that

must of missed that

funnily enough it happened 2 or 3 minuts after aisling scored their second goal..wasn't a hint of frustration out of wee bobby?and i had the same view as you oscar sure didnt it happen in the middle of the field:D

[oscar]

like wenger says...i did not see this,i was looking at something else...;)but rest assured we'll be having a word with Bobby,Janesboro don't condone that type of behaviour and it will not go unpunished:rolleyes:

Carey of Carew played with The Dines, Granville & Pike before.
Quinn of Balla played with Carew before.
Purcell of View played with The Dines before!!

[see's it]

Stephen Grant went in to seperate two players? He left the field of play to get involved.

If you want cowardly acts - what about the little fellow Bobby Gregg hitting John O'Dwyer off the ball when he was not looking.

O Dwyer grabbed him by the balls seconds earlier i dont know whether that counts as cowardly or gay

[Mixer]

Bobby has always had that streak in him its just a part of his game he's a nice little player just needs to calm down a bit. Will Stephen Grant be available thursday Oscar?

[oscar]

AFAIK he won't be,automatic 1 match ban for a sending off

[Balbec77]

2 yellows is 1 automatic match 30 euro fine and a week suspention that is what tommy hef on the first day of the season

[halo16]

Carey of Carew played with The Dines, Granville & Pike before.
Quinn of Balla played with Carew before.
Purcell of View played with The Dines before!!

quinn played with pike for about 6 years underage and afew years junior if i remember correctly and didnt fahy of regional play for granville for a long time?

[halo16]

for me the most loyal players in town would have to be colm enright and albert slattery,and in fairness most of the balla stalwarts e.g colla,daly,dunphy and spud.

[the only 1]

theres a lot of boro players unhappy with daithi since he took over a few more will be leaving with o neill

[Abbey Road]

colla who always played with Glenagross,then hill celtic and now carew?

[halo16]

philip collopy.as long as i remember him playing he always played with balla,over the last 10 years anyway.dont ever remember seeing him line out for carew or hill celtic?correct me if im wrong but i always thought he was a staunch balla man
