Mountshannon 1 Bridge Utd 0
Disappointing result for us yesterday. We definitely deserved something from the game but fair play to Mountshannon, they battle to the very end and certainly do not deserve to be relegated. Our failure to convert the chances that came our way proved decisive with the hosts grabbing the winner in injury time. Sickener!! But we have to get on with it, there will be more twists and turns in this saga yet. Mountshannon will stay up in my opinion and deserve to do so.
Is there trouble in the Bridge camp? Rumour has it that your manager resigned after the game?? Is the pressure beginning to show???.Quote:

This is a cracker!!!
Newtown asked if they could enter the U17s cup despite not having a team in the under 17 three team league and were corrrectly openly encouraged.The team would be made up of under 16s and 17s from the youths along with some under 15s.The cup was to be played last week and what happens?The League puts a fixture in the morning for their Youths and the cup in the afternoon for the 17s.On enquiry they are told the games MUST go ahead(WHY?).Even so Newtown decide they will play both matches,with 9 players playing in both games!!Luckilly the 17s match was postponed due the pitch being unplayable, but they loose home advantage.
Now wait for this one!!!!!This week the youths and the to-be-played-again 17s match are both on at the same time!!
Result: Newtown will have to pull out of the under 17 cup because despite Turnpike agreeing to switch to Paddys day the 17s are not available.
Is the FAI now running our League.This sounds like something they would do.
Who was the drunken Corkman falling around the Lodge on Sunday shouting Hacket !!!Hacket!!!Hacket!! and looking for fight from everyone.He was dressed in all black ??Is he a priest or a Christian Brother or or a muslim Mullah??
Who is he??Is he the full Shilling??Did he manage to get Gavin Meehan to fight him???
As he was dressed in all black, could he possibly have been a referee looking for revenge?:eek:Quote:

Why did Newtown lose home advantage due to their pitch not being playable? Most pitches in Clare were unplayable last Saturday and the Council closed Lee's Road due to weather conditions. I thought that you normally got 2 chances to stage a home game in the cup and why is not home advantage lost in similar cases for League games? (Just a thought).
cant understand y any lifford clubman would make comments like this. so manalishi and boss shut it!! ye cannot be lifford players because ye don't know what is going on at the club.Quote:

Thanks Plastic,Newtown and Lifford on the Pitch have always got on well,if the criticism is fair and justified then no problem but the other 2 have only spoken crap,the idea of this site is to give points of view on how clubs are doing and also a bit of banter but lads with one track minds should not be on it,in fact they would prob do better in politics:ball: :ball:Quote:

He has however taken back his resignation following a meeting and training last night in which 17 players turned up and proved to him that we all have the same goals as he does. There is always pressure at this stage of the season and with the exception of Avenue every team has shown cracks in the armour. There will be lots of twists and turns in this saga yet but Avenue have to be favourites at this stage.Quote:

Your comments are right on!!It appears because Newtown asked to go into the cup the fixture secretary thought it was a 16s team .That was ok for last week but why not change it last week anyway??This week is a joke as it was explained that there were 9 youths under 17!!!(and look at their position in the Youths League,although you wont see it on A2z cos it hasnt been updated since last year!!!) and this week the 2 matches are on at the same time.the decision to loose home advantage has me baffled altogether.Even Turnpike ,who the 17s are supposed to play ,dont agree with that.

Weekend Predictions
Avenue V Bunratty (Home win but hoping Bunratty can get something)
Cratloe V Newmarket (Draw, depending on how Newmarket react to last weeks game)
Mountshannon V Newtown (Home win, pitch may not suit Newtown)
Rineanna V Lifford (Another draw, Rineanna difficult to beat at home)
