interesting start with the top teams all dropping points
Aisling were robbed of 3 points by two of the worst referring decisions I have seen in a long time.
Denied a perfectly good goal that would have made it 4-0 at half time, how can a player be off side when the ball is squared back to him?
Waved the view to play on when they were clearly off side, the players even hesitated as they were that far off.
I think the standard of referring around is the pits at them moment, the only consolation is they can be bad for everyone. Some of the decisions at the pike match yesterday were bizarre for both teams and this from one of our more senior ref's....
the only thing I can say in their defence is its a thankless job
The decisions changed the game alright but these things usually balance out over the course of a season. If we converted half the chances we created the decisions would not have counted. Alot of positives to be taken from the game. Not going to make any mad predictions but I can see AA doing alot better this season. Some very good new signings, a good preseason with Mike Kerley and Dec Hyde and a few x AA players returning also.
Good starts for the promoted clubs
were AA 3 nil up?Quote:

It's good to see Summerville get off to a good start, but one has to wonder how long will it last?

next up another difficult game against the boro away.

You could see the fitness hitting both teams the last 15 mins,Davy Wall along with Purcell and McGarry played well for an average pike team..
was at the summerville,corbally game yesterday.Corballys defence was terrible.young maher finished very well for the 1st goal but in saying that got way too much time on the ball.the 2nd and 3rd goal were like something you would see down in 3b.harmless balls that were not dealt with by corbally defence and summerville in fairness to them pounced.john shine was man of the match by a country mile.best centre half performance ive seen in a long time.. o donnell had a fine game left full also.corbally had a good 1st half but created nothing in the 2nd.they looked to be playing 3-5-2 and didnt suit them.can see them struggling if they dont pick it up in the next few weeks and definately if they dont sort out there defence.summerville could have had 6 goals on the day.A well deserved win for them.They will pick up alot of points at home this year.could well be dark horses.Quote:
