hahaa are they pike and 'view kits?/
Got it in one.. ;)

Ye can expect that kind of welcome anytime up at Paradise!! :D

[gazza]

ye ??? got it wrong there kid, but anyway any club ye would welcome like that id say

[On The Ball]

I said nothing againist clubs using their own facilities, best of luck to them. the question that i am asking is , is there any point in developing facilities for teams that you play at home. (showers etc)
Wait till ye play caherdavin and bruff.Now their facilities are 2nd to none.

[manalishi]

any fixtures for the weekend

[On The Ball]

Nobody has answered the question at hand...
It's more a choice to be made by the club i think.It'd be great if every team had good facilities,some can't because of money and such but id rather see a club with 2 good dressing rooms and showers even if the away team don't want to use them.Some teams just prefer to tog out at home because alot of the pitches are in close proximity.

Well done to boro who took there chances on the day scored 3 from about 4. The view deserved at least a draw failed to take their chances must have had about 6 or 7 one on ones but finished very strong and looked the much fitter team. Have to say the pitch was an absolute disgrace for a pitch that used to be always in good nick.

3 from 4 give me a break,we scored 2 great goals and one on the break,Fairviews 2 goals were from our mistakes,well maybe not the second but it was poor marking,as for your comment on the pitch..are you for real





We always make use of away facilities. It's a common courtesy to show the home team respect and use their showers and changing rooms.
Boro have done a good job and we'll be togging out there and changing after our game.


glad to hear it pike b,i know you were missing when we played ye but we togged out above and even went in for a few drinks,cider never tasted sweeter



Wel done boro yesterday,no sour grapes from the views perspective, despite whats bein said... Ye beat us fair and square, great game with both teams going for it,great advert for the league.


well said messi

Janesboro 3-2 Fairview

Boro opened the scoring through Tony Curtis with a screamer into the roof of the net,Fairview equalised straight away after a defensive error left the Fairview striker with a simple tap in,soon after Alan Sheehan beat 4 men,yes 4 and his accurate shot nestled into the bottom corner,Shane Madden should of seen red for an awful challenge on the Boro centre forward,2-1 at HT.Boro went 3-1 up when Thomas McInerney got in behind the Fairview defense and left FAI winner Martin Neary(aka Nero) for dead,his shot was saved by the View keeper but it fell to the feet of Jan Canda who put the ball in the net,Fairview scored their second when sloppy defending let the View player with a free header,View launched long ball after long ball but the Boro rearguard stood firm and dealt with everything that was thrown at them,View had numerous free kicks but not one was on target,with time running out Mark Purcell made a great point blank save to ensure Boro took the points

thats an accurate account of the game,and as everyone on this site knows i'm not one bit biased

An accurate account on the goals alright but not the game. Ye won cause ye took your chances and fair play to ye.

[footymad]

Rubbish talk about the pitch-pitch was in grand nick given the time of year.The story of the game was boro took 3 of there 4 chances and fairview took 2 of there maybe 9 maybe more.Personally i thought the best team lost but well done to the boro on a great win and best of luck for the rest of the season.Also it was great to see such a big crowd from both clubs at the game.
Are you for REAL pitch was brutal sand all over it and very soft in places the weather has been great for past couple of weeks so nothing to do with time of year . Have to agree with rest of your comments though.

I think it's a Fairview thing myself leather ;)

And very well done on your win yesterday.
Ah well you would'nt expect anything else from you stirring it as usual .

The pitch was fine in my opinion!!

Great goal by Mona Curtis and Alan Sheehan rolled back the years with a superb goal and performance.Must compliment Seanie Lipper aswell as he seems to have lost none of his enthusiasm for the game.

Said i would not get involved but here goes. There were 2 patches of sand on the pitch.one approx 2yrds x 4 yrds and another of 2yrds x 3 yrds.this was necessary because of ongoing problems with the corporation storm drainage sytem that runs directly under the pitch and seems to be leaking through broken pipes. when there is any rain of a heavy nature the water backs up from hyde rd and all of janesboro, up through these areas. this caused the 2 VERY SOFT AREA's as above.Janesboro are awaiting info from corpo, who by the way wanted to come in last october and start digging for the drains. the rest of the pitch was fine and like any soil based pitch that has a lot of traffic on it divots alot. Footymad dont be so arrogant or ignorant to be so churlish when you are unaware of the circumstances.

good to see that the majority of view supporters has gotten past the arrogant and condesending attitude of previous "supporters". Still think that view could well win this division, Good football team with some guys who could do a job for premier team.

[Pike B]

if iv learnt anythin from playing with this club its to give credit to the opposition, despite what this fella says,and as iv said earlier well done to d boro, id never and i wouldn't expect anyone to ever blame the condition of a pitch to blame for a loss,we can just hope to move on and give it a right push from here on in, every game for the top teams are going to be cup finals from now on, WAY THE BEST TEAM WIN!!
Exactly how it should be Messi, well said.

Well said - i was always thought to both lose and win with dignity with Fairview by the likes of Martin Cowhey etc etc.

[van der wheil]

If they stay unbeaten for remainder of season they'll go up.
I think Sunday was the first loss of many for the View.

We will see - personally think you have under estimated Fairview this season.

[Pike B]

You are representing your club 24/7, at work, at home and everywhere you go. You don't stop being a Pike,Fairview or even Geraldines player when the game ends.
Losing happens(a lot with us) and you should never, ever whinge or make excuses.
Lose with the same respect you win with
Well said Messi and even you Dutch boy!! :D

If you had been reading the forum properly you would have seen that i had said well done to boro on a previous quote on Sunday" see below "and that i never used the pitch as an excuse. I just simply mentioned in my opinion the state that the pitch was in ,the pitch was same for both teams. Can a guy not have an opinion on a pitch the boro had said the same about the bruff pitch the previous week.
So in future take a look before you write your ignorance on this forum.

[leather]

which guys do you think could do a job with premier team? Same applies for the boro team,tom mac up front is lethal, as good as iv played against,would def get on d majority of premier teams.
Neary...S.Madden if you get the whole package tuned in.

[Pike B]

Neary...S.Madden if you get the whole package tuned in.
This arguement has been done lads. And I'll say now what I said then. It's all about training and fitness.
There are guys playing Premier who are average footballers, but bust their backsides training and look after themselves. That allows them to play at that level despite not being able to pass a ball 5 yards.
Then in 1A 1B and maybe even a few lower divisions there are a handful of good footballers who if they applied the same work ethic, could easily play Premier.
Its not rocket science in the end. I'd go so far as to say there are 1 to 3 potential Premier players at View B Boro B and even ourselves, Coonagh Park and a few of the country teams. But potential is one thing, application is what counts.


Anyway, back to this league,
Caherdavin 2 V 2 Knockainey
Coonagh 4 V 1 Holycross

well said pike B. Couldn't agree more with you on that one. Played premier myself when i was really really fit. Wouldn't be able for it now. Definitely players playing in lower divisions who have the talent but don't have the interest or motivation. You should try surprise yourself a bit more!!! Some lads playin premier have very little attributes other than stamina and sheer determination

Had half a season Premier with Granville once, and less than that with our A team. Speed of the game is very intense, so a good touch helps but I found that a lot of teams outside Pike Fairview etc, couldn't really play good football. They'd grind it out with a lot of high tempo kick and rush stuff. Terrible to watch but can be effective.
Park are about the only team I've seen in our division keep it on the floor for long periods, and even they have their bad moments.
I heard a bloke on their sideline shout 'no football' a few times near the end of our game with them.
I said it was shocking to their centre half, who shrugged and said' welcome to the Clare league'!!

i watched a good few premier games last season. thought balla played some lovely stuff at times. unreal amount of long ball by the lower sides though. seen a few 1B games this season, i haven't seen pike though. janesboro like to play ball, and fairview play nice stuff. saw park at the start of the season when they were losing all those games and they looked average. caherdavin are handy when they play well, so are knockainey, that'll be a good game on Sunday if it goes ahead

Caherdavin played us on our A pitch, they had a chance to show their stuff as Johnny Giles would say, and they just heaped it forward every time. They were route one merchants.
We try playing right but to be honest we are short about 4 or 5 players in key positions. But we do try.

that surprises me about caherdavin. Maybe they were nervous playin up there! Some of those lads might never have played there. Ye are short 4 or 5? That's half the team man. Not good! If ye beat bruff, holycross and cals i reckon ye will stay up

and where were u and your present club playing 2 years ago??

It's 1b in fairness,teams probably just wanna get up a division then improve trainin n work on the passing aspect.if you're expecting to see an arsenal type passing game in limerick let alone 1b theres only a handfull of teams capable.

Caherdavins home pitch is about as long as pikes home pitch is wide.Thats why they struggled.
