Unreal. Park in real crisis already. They'll need an unbelievable turn around to have any chance of promotion. Shock result this one. Fair play to Murroe.

Is Dermot Finnan still manager of park?

maybe not after tonite:D:D:D

Bloody hell ourselves and Park cant buy a goal at the moment.

Messi...that wasnt our regular keeper either but he did a good job for us. I wouldnt blame him for either goal. What let us down tonight was our finishing and not just the strikers. We had plenty of chances to score from play and set pieces and failed to take advantage.

Another tough one alright on Saturday but our general play is good enough. Just have to find our touch in front of goal.

Ya he is. We played them on match day 1 and they had 20 players togged out, and were a very good footballing team. They've lost three in a row since. I'd love to know whats going wrong out there in the Banner...

Some result there for muroe, fair play to them,

I think the sooner the sunday morning matches start the better

then get a clear idea who is doing what.

Only if you change your name on here to Coonagh A. :D

this must be the closest league around from what I can see. Only boro b standing out at the moment, as for park, maybe they were starting to believe too much too soon. You would never know though, long way to go yet and the winter is a long period where some teams excel and others fall behind..................good to see most teams are similar, keeps the league interesting for the teams involved.

This is the Coca Cola Championship of Limerick. Not as high a standard as the Premiership with it's bloated egos and fancy dancers, or the 1A boys with maybe two or three in the title race, here we are all capable of beating each other and anyone could go up, or down. For pure drama, it has to be 1B!!

Yeah losing 2 or 3 players makes a big difference, but in Bruff's case they lost the players in the summer(07), before the season kicked off (Pip Moloney and Deccy Hayes went to Croom, Dermot Broughton took up reffing :eek:). Also Paddy Moloney went to Holycross I think, but he's back now.
These guys were undoubtedly a big loss, but the core of that strong Bruff team is still there, and is well capable in this division ......provided they can all show up every match.

Bruff have some very good young players coming along to replace those who've left - the likes of Colin Madden at right back is turning into a top player after being dropped into the deep end last season. Also Bobby Rae at centre back impressed v Knockainey. And with Ed Hogan still there banging in the goals for fun every week, what more do you need to be a contender in 1B :ball:

If Kevin Mc Carthy signs with Fairview i think they will go close in this league - he would make a massive difference

I would say Fairview could win this league judging by the starts both Coonagh and Park have had.

Messi are you serious that white and Neary are still playing...yes absolutely fab players but that was yrs ago...surely teams can see the way to score s sheer pace....from what I saw of coonagh las year they had buckets of that...Is that not the case...?

Raul Madrids report said it was a corner and a defenders mistake? where are they lacking or where are they strong mores the point...

Reckon that it will be an explosive game in Boro on Sunday then..

Poor start to all teams...surely another "Croom" is not on cards and everyone playing for second...?

Very good.:D I mention names every now and again alright, but most people in this division wouldn't be well known by everyone. It doesn't mean that some people don't recognise them chump.

The blind one? ;)

the holycross game away to pike was cancelled due to a no-show from the ref - not sure what happened to him.

caught the end of the knock v bruff game, 3-3 - with bruff grabbing an equaliser in the last seconds. knock have been very under strength in last two games but have still come out with points and still fancy them to outlast all others come seasons end. bruff have also upped the ante from last season, and could be there or thereabouts also.
congrats to bruff striker edward hogan who scored a hat-trick of free kicks last night against ex limerick37 knock keeper - all rockets into the top corner - fantastic skill. must be some sort of record, anyone know?
also noticed that 10 of the 11 bruff players last night had come through the holycross nursery ;)

Well as I keep saying, this isn't the most well known or highest quality division in town, but for drama and unpredictability it's tops.
Were your lads as peeved as our lads with the no show ref last night? We were at full strength bar our keeper, for first time this season. Very annoying.

Sorry bout the test email just now...tried posting about 2 hrs ago and it said administrator need to elease...no idea why....

anyway Messi just checking to see if White and Neary are still playing...they were top defenders years ago and surely pace up front would get them...When I aw Coonagh last year they had loads of pace so Im surprised...!!

Where are they lacking? or more importantly where are they strong...

Read a post there that said it was not down to their goalkeeper but a defensive mistake..? larry White posted the other day that defensw was "Rock Solid"...obviously not....?

Hope that its not season that Boro do a Croom on it and everyone scrambling for 2nd place...
Should be a good game Sun morn Coonagh V Boro...what times that on?

who's the ex limerick keeper?

Final frontier jusy got to watch the coonagh match against the view last nite and when larry said they were good at the back he was not lying. As for the match Coonagh deserved three points hands down but goals win matches. It was not just down to thier strikers missing the two centre halves missed good chances also. And just one word on the ref was a disgrace at least two players should have got the line but instead of doing his job he wanted to be everyones friend. Boro looking good Coonagh could have their work cut out saturday. 1B best league in limerick better than a good soap for drama.
