At the castleview game.. castleview very dirty leaving the leg In any side could end up with 10 men here 1 all at the break
All me talk about Castleview when I heard of players they had and I must honestly say their brutal fair play Grattan battered um
Grattan Miles better than Castleview. Poor mistakes from Castleview especially for 2nd goal. Coachford next week for them if im correct. Could be looking towards the wrong end of the table soon. Teams will drop points alot more this year which should make for some great viewing
Big step up in class from last year for Castleview showed today poor in the back nothing up top
Spot on fish grattan looked very uncomfortable 2nd halfQuote:

Hard 1 to digest I must say we were very poor today and on that point the credit has to go to Grattan because they hounded us wouldn't let us play football if im been honest it was Men against boys today people keep on about Grattan been old but experience accounts for alot aswell and they showed it today if we play like today we will unfortunately be a cup team this season and we won't be challenging either for the league on today's performance again we'll done to Grattan well deserved victory.
Grate result beating a senior side well soen grattanQuote:

Some of the Village defending was poor and their CM looked lost, Donoughmore on the other hand played some excellent one touch football in the first half. Village did have two cleared off the line first half and another two second half luck wasnt on their side but you had to put away your chances. Village made 3 chances at half time even one being the Goalkeeper and seemed a lot more solid second half was too little too late. They got a late goal but Donoughmore defended really well. One team sees to play as a team the other seems to have too many individuals and could be a really long season for them if they don't fix the holes in the middle of the park. Donoughmore well worth the victory after a impressive start. Good side I was impressed with themQuote:

Donoughmore look like they’ll be the only ones capable of upsetting the top two while still being a step below Coachford. Cathedral be under pressure to avoid 2 relegations on the bounce.
Lads I watched the View game the referee bottled a few decisions both teams should have ended with 9 players and at 2-1 Danny was through and scored he was miles onside and was blown off. Different game if that was correctly given and why Danny is playing up top is beyond me he’s definitely not a striker and offers more in behind but Colin and Nagle obviously saw something to play him there. Hats off to Grattan they picked Castleview apart but they are definitely not miles better the luck was with them on the day, grattan back in the race now they needed that win. The pressure is on the View next week against Coachford they need a result or it’s curtains for them
But but but…. All the talk about castleview and village being contenders not a great start for them shows just how much some people in this know about soccer Coachford flying it and will be hard to compete against let’s face it
Sorry lads , watched the game .
I think the term is " back in yer box'

I think Castleview put ye through enough misery last season give it a rest. You should meet in the cup pending you beat the shipping league team and Castleview beat RoverstownQuote:

Be better off now if the View an Knocka kept quite on here for a while and let there football do the talking instead of posting tripe that just gives us all a laugh.
Sipping down a few pints of Coors, over heard superstar Dean is on his way out of Village and back to MSL. That lad is laughable, switches clubs more than Tiger Woods. Good player but from watching him today he wants to be star of the show everything has to be through him and holds onto the ball to long. We all knew eventually that he would jump when the going gets tough, he will probably be back by January. As previously stated to many egos, Village will have to get back to basics they need some of their big players back ASAP. Anyone heading down to the Glebe in the morning? Should be a stroll in the park for the home side
Honestly taught they were two average teams not a great game and ref was very poor
Honesty appriciated , stay at home so in future. It's the Aul , grass roots football at it's best.
It was a local derby with a crowd I havnt seen at an Aul for a long long while .
Grattan Glenthorn league decider
few years back probably biggest crowd iv seen at an Aul game .
There's been senior games this weekend didn't draw a crowd like that. Brilliant to see the interest .
Credit to the 2 teams for drawing the crowd.
The ref was the same to both teams.
Let's park it now an move on to next week.
What big players were village missing outside Pa? Gurta Keniry Colin were all there, Keniry was a disgrace with the referee again, Bunter Keegan and Hennessey all played, they look lost on the pitch, nobody seems to know their role, the team looks slapped together with egos, Dean was never going to stay the lad is a dreamer, nice touch and control but like you said holds on to the ball way too long has no trust in any of his teammates to give it to them until he eventually loses it. That’s what village are for the season, they’ve nothing else and nobody else to come back. And let’s not act like there was only one team on the pitch, Donoughnore have quite a few excellent young players, they remind me of the coachford side about 7 years ago before they started winning all around them, if they stick together they’ll be a problemQuote:

Forgot about McCarthy, that suspension could have torpedoed their season, Longy is 50 they can’t be relying on him, although he was one of their better players when he came on. Kearney is good on the ball but wouldn’t have fixed any of their problems yesterday which were all off ball I feel. O Donnell is a great winger which is why I feel Dean leaving them isn’t a big deal
Agreed they all looked lost, nobody knows their role. Team looks thrown together no communication or hard work to get the ball back. Big problem in the middle of the park for me, wide open, they didn't win one ball til Longy actually came on believe it or not. They will need Pa Long, zack, gurta back ASAP.Quote:

Come backs over ,,,,all done 8.2
I will stay at home in future. Lesson learnt
Watergrasshill finally down for a game , home to Grattan on the 22nd , not an easy one to start with….
Ah lads 2 games into the season and absolutely writing village off. The league was always going to be beyond them this season. The squad hasn’t even had time to gel. I’m sure a decent league finish and a cup or 2 is still in reach.
I have heard from 2 different sources from 2 separate established county sides that they are really struggling to make it out of the blocks.
As much as I enjoyed beating Utd yesterday lads drink never worth it back to football talk big statement sat from Grattan and talk If they lost out of league think rolls reversed this week if Castleview lose to Coachford them out of running now for me be 8 points behind leaders then save to say they’ll only have cups to play for so early in season be disappointing
Grattan will be fine same talk every year about age etc. Killarney Celtic for them now Sunday will be interesting game, Win and there in two cup finals already. Will there be much longer of weekend games do we think or is this week the last week? Another round of games next week would be great for games played already for fear of the bad weather hitting. I think MJC and FAI starting weekend after next so imagine it will be a break from league games for a few teams potentially for a while.
Watergrasshill and Ucc could do with a break all right
