Why you think Arra and toome doing so bad this year??On teams looking like coming up borrisoleigh will beat nearly 6,7 of the current premier teams easily. will bring up the standard to be honest which can only be good.Sallypark not good enough yet, will struggle as will clodaigh

Arra are a mystery to me this season. dont know why there are so bad.. thought at the start of the season it was because of their hurlers being missing but they dont seem to have improved since then at all.. there def going down.
Toome on their day can be good enough in fairness.. Just not doing it this season..
Borrisoleigh ?? dont know about.. i think it was 2 maybe 3 seasons ago in the premier they cold not even field a team for the last 5 - 6 games.. Did they not get relagated because of that ( i could be wrong ).. they really do rely on their hurlers..
Would like to see Sallypark come up for surely their time in the premier..
We have not played ye yet ( Celtic ).. Are ye confident in beating us ?? Oh and by the way where are ye playing this season.. Is it in the tech school ?
not being cocky or anything but we be confident in beating anything.am we be in the tech until march but after that i think it being levelled and reseeded.to be honest clough at the position they are in cant afford to lose another game this season.Argue/disagree???

Borrisoleigh are a fine team, however the team that goes up this year may not be the team that end up in the Premier.
They got knocked out of the hurling early this year so that is why they are doing well. Crowd of hurlers basically.
So could easily end up having to pull out of the league again next year.
We played them in the cup and the hurling team had a challenge game at the same time as the soccer game was fixed.
They started with 8 players and when the hurling game finished a few lads sauntered over to play the soccer match.
they have to field a team for every game because they are on a bond with the league and if they fail to do that .they are out for good!!they have the team to do well in the premier, and clodaigh in similar boat with hurlers.Dont want to get into the argument of teams and hurlers because it pointless, true??

To be honest we would be confident of beating anyone in the premier especially this season where we seem to be a lot stronger.. Prob should not be playing soccer if you are not confident iwinning !
We have only lost once but it is the draws that has let us down.. So i suppose you are right Daz in saying we cant afford to lose anymore.. We will just take each game as it comes..

Well it has been discussed before. I know after playing the last few weekends in mud and on rock hard frozen pitches that you could break your leg on that the merits of summer soccer are something to be looked at.
Like playing on the 21st Dec is crazy, its the shortest day of the year. We are playing a 2pm kickoff and literally it will be getting dark by the end of it.

summer soccer just not viable because lack of referees for a start plus,you get the hurlers disappearing, and players on holidays!!ya you probably correct about the xmas period.can i ask you if you think ye will stay up this year considering that Kilcommon on the current format cannot be relegated

The one thing with lack of referees, i presume you would need fewer refs because of less teams etc. Anyone as you know for me Id prefer to have fewer teams of dedicated players that lots of teams with lads coming and going. I wonder how the league Mayo manages it?
Re: Relegation
Actually hadnt thought about that, I presumed that they would be relegated and that they just wouldnt have a 'B' team, interesting dilema.
Did it ever happen in the Premier that a team stayed up because they had a B team in the first?
To be honest it will be touch and go to finish outside the bottom 2, bottom 3 makes it even more difficult. We lost 4 players from last year including our player of the season so for a club our size that is a lot.
I dont know if I could face into that fecking 2nd Division, you would have to become a full time professional to play that amount of games.
am nothing that i can recall but i do remeber a team staying up because they had a B team in the division below them.Am if they have a B team they wont be able to go down but known the league committee ,what if they put back the 3rd division again if a few more teams come in??you right already to many games already!!How come you lost those players?

Two lads retired although they would have been good enough to stay going, our goalie who was our best player and probably the best in North Tipp couldnt commit full-time so hung up the boots and another lad moved to Meath with work.
We have 3 home games against 3 of the teams around us in our last 6, if we win those then we should be safe with our without Kilcommon and their B team.

Maybe but its all subjective, he is definitely the best goalie I played with or against in the 16 years Ive played in North Tipp from school-boys up.
I wouldnt say there are too many standout keepers in North Tipp at the moment, but then Ive havent played in the Premier in about 3 seasons so have lost track.
our keeper is one of the best around, very good to be honest.could play EL if had the interest and ive played with numerous eircom league keepers. The Town youths keeper is top quality, going to very good, he plays few games with their first team.Moneygalls keeper is very good, probably the best shot stopper but he too small which does not help.

Nenagh AFC 2-0 Blackcastle-Munster Junior Cup 3rd round.
Could of been a hell of a lot more too, Nenagh easily dominated the entire game and once the second goal went in Blackcastle didn't look like they wanted to be there at all.
Very impressive performance from town, a really positive display which can be further improved on.
daz22 is right about the keepers aswell, Aidan is a quality keeper for Celtic as is Aaron Savage for Town(I may be biased but he's the best in the league imo and only 18), Ger Corcoran who sometimes plays in goal for Cloughjordan is a fantastic keeper too, and just 20.
celticlads
22/12/2008, 3:23 PM
i would agree that Aaron Savage is a very good goalie but no where near the best in the league. He seems to make alot of mistakes in the big games, mostly against us at underage level so i think he has a long way to go before he can be called the best!!!!

good win for celtic but performance was very poor. twn snuck it late against blackcastle. as i suggested clough would slip against the lower teams on a few occasions!!great win for ballymackey yesterday in their battle against the drop.Cloughjordan have to beat Nenagh next week to keep their chances alive?????any suggestions?games in next few weeks will make the difference as twn and celtic will be playing MJC and FAI games in the second half of january

Thanks for that dazz, massive win and too be honest I went out thinking we hadnt a hope. But their home pitch is so narrow that it gives a team like ourselves every chance of being able to contain them.
Havent been following what is going on in the Premier too close this season, will let others comment on the run in.
I do find that if you are still in the MJC and FAI cup that you tend to get to play teams later on in the season when they have lost interest / nothing to play for etc.
If Clough are out that may effect them.

Yes that is true to the point that teams have no interest plus teams later in the year lose players to other sports.On the other hand you have teams who are games behind playing 3 times a week to catch up on games. Rumours i hear also is that they are going to split the 2nd division and have a 3rd division next year.good idea i think!
Ya, pitch is so narrow, not good for playing decent football at times because midfield etc very condensed.have ye to play many of the teams around ye. we played borrisokane there a few weeks ago with nearly 3/4 of main starters missing and beat them easily and from what seen of ye , should pick up points against them and kilcommon. we played borrisoleigh ourselves, good side so good win for ye.

Anybody have info on Nenagh AFC.
Are they a strong side this year? Do they like to play the beautiful game or do they likely to rely on their physical strength? :ball:
Kinsale lost to Michaels 4-1 last year and will be trying to keep the score more respectable against another strong Tipp side this year.
celticlads
08/01/2009, 5:17 PM
neangh afc are good side, they will always try and keep the ball on the ground and play football. they are not as strong as last year even though they added to their squad, seems to be problems in their camp this season. they rely too much on two young attacking players(both very good by the way)and will have one weak centre-half. they are a big club with great facilities and are certaintly the biggest club in north tipp but no the best, that title has to go to celtic:D:D
Their keeper is prone to mistakes especially in big games,two centre halves have no pace and might start or not with a centre forward who is brilliant in the air and will finish if given half a chance. if get at them they vunerable and not playing that well this year

We were playing Moneygal B yesterday in the Tipp Cup, if was 0-0 at full time (should go into extra time) but the ref refused to finish the game saying the pitch wasnt playable.
So basically we ploughed up our own field and then when it was done the ref called the match off.
Surely this cant be right?
hooper74
12/01/2009, 8:01 PM
dont understand your argument,if the pitch wasnt playable for another 20 minutes of extra time it wasnt playable,this is always at the refs disgression,he obviously felt after 90 minutes the conditions were worsening,hes entitled to stop the game at any point
look if the pitch was not playable , it was not playable. how many games was on your pitch the day before???

Both Nenagh teams had good wins at the weekend i think its a 2 horse race now,any thoughts lads.

No idea, the pitch was fine at the beginning and the weather conditions didnt change in the slightest. It started off lashing rain and at the end it was lashing rain.
Good chance running around a pitch in the lashing rain is going to ruin it, why play a game for 90mins only then to call it off.

For sure, looks like it will hinge on their 2nd league meeting of the season. Still fancy the Blues, starting to hum a little like we were last season.....

13/01/2009, 3:18 PM
Ya seem to be picking up the pace alrite and for us to be underdogs suits us just fine.I hope the league do the right thing and leave the game untill the end of the season and the hopefully both sides keep winning.It would be some finish to the season Town V celtic for the title again.
celticlads
13/01/2009, 7:46 PM
celtic v town youths is fixed for this weekend with celtic down to play at home. our field looks as if it will not be playable so we offered town home advantage. their manager didn't want home advantage on the grounds that celtic youths are too good and would only love to play on a flat surface. a manager like that cant be good for town youths and he must not have any faith in his team as he is the same man who took home advantage off us last season in the youths. anyone have any thoughts????
not surprised!!!, other note probably wanted ye to pay for playing there if did switch game
mr. man
18/01/2009, 6:02 PM
i heard Town drew with Moneygal today is dat true.. Thought all game were called off..
ya the scoreline is correct. nenagh insisted on playing from what i hear because wanted games before MJC next week and FAI week after. They were 1 down today but got a draw. big blow to title hopes.
bawn79
19/01/2009, 8:25 PM
Thats bad luck on Nenagh, i suppose not be match ready before a big MJC isnt a bad idea but drawing to Moneygal is a bad result for them.
This weather is brutal, what do people think of a winter break?
With perhaps less teams in each division to make it easier to play the games during what should be the better weather.
Just reading some of the thread on the Mayo league and there top division plays its games from May on Saturday evenings. Sounds like a great idea, play a game after work on a Saturday with Sundays free.
alot of clubs cannot play on a sturday because they rely on youths players. we, Nenagh Celtic have atleast 5,6 youths players on our first team nearly every year so would not work.other clubs are same.

Ya true enough, we have to play borrisokane at home as well. 3 points in these two games should keep us up.
I think we have turned a bit of a corner to be honest. We should have a far more settled team next year if we can stay up this year.

Ya them games probably determine if stay up or not. do you think borrisokane have an advantage by having so many games in hand as they may have to play teams later in season who have nothing to play for???
Premier table looking good at the mo for celtic??

Ya its always an advantage that way, but if we beat kilcommon and borrisokane we should finish ahead of Templetouhy anyway. Then borrisokane can do what they like in their remaining games.
