One of a few is right.
And, as if the early Tierney switch wasn't baffling enough - when the player was asked to go back into midfield following Daly's removal, he could be heard asking management to stay where he was!
So perhaps the original decision to switch was made on the field rather than on the sideline.
Either way, it doesn't bode well.
Managers make calls.a striker was brought on and jt dropped off.simple.Quote:

good report alan,saw the game and thought it was quite poor,on the night Dines looked a pale shadow of last years team,albeit missing a few players.good confidence booster for Corbally.Quote:

As for Corbally/Pike, most people would have expected Pike to come through the league fixture comfortably too. I'm sure they will this time, but you never know. As you say, the pitch up there lends itself to frustrating a more expansive side. Pike will obviously benefit from the bogball season being over too - all those lads will be focusing all of their attention on the football from here on in. And, of course, being able to bring in the likes of Scanlon at this stage of the season is a huge bonus. They're still massively underperforming as a unit given the quality of individual that they possess though - long way to go.

Great result booster. I had intended to cover the game but I had something else on. Sorry I missed it - big result in terms of the relegation battle. Deserved on the balance of play?
Carew Park 3-0 Moyross United (Limerick District Premier League)
Ah I wouldn't say so .. Very close game, a couple of wonder goals by James in fairness the second of which would grace any match, we were 2 up at ht and they pushed hard at us in the second half with us pinching one on the break, they battered us for most of the second half and we were scrambling a bit before we got the 3rd they two cleared off the line by our full backs.. But we'll take it anyway, onwards and upwards, squad is a little thin but getting stronger by the weeks I feel.Quote:

You must have been delighted that Dines B dropped points in their 2pm kick off today were you?
Makes no odds to me bud, no connections to Geraldines. Just curious why you didn't cover Carew's game, no harm done.
important wins for Carew and Boro over the weekend ,Dines will be happy with their point v Pike,and Summervile secured a valuable three points over Regional and were well worth their win given the effort they put in.
Were you at the Summerville game? Great result for them. Naughton got two, including an overhead kick, I believe?Quote:

ya was at the game ,Summervile to a man put everything into it and deserved their victory.Naughton scored a wonder goal which his overall contribution deserved.would not know the summervile team but no sign of M.keane,but they handled his abscence easily enough.Regional did not seem to have the heart for the game especially when 2-1 down, and had a player sent off,though imo should have had a pen in the first half and Summervile keeper made a few fine saves.another good report there AOB btw.
Pretty sure Keane has got work commitments which prevent him from playing every game.
Disappointed to hear that Regional heads dropped when behind. They've faded badly of late after a very promising start to the season.
seems like the most competitive season in years

Would be great to see someone other than Pike winning the league this season,I'd say most people apart from Pike people are bored of itQuote:

shaping to be one of the most exciting leagues in years.. and both ends, most teams are capable of beating anyone on a given day, i think Janesboro will win the league, with Carew pushing them to the wire. At the bottom...its anyones guess.
Aisling's last two defensive displays really threw the cat among the relegation pigeons. Although they're still three off safety, with a game extra played, they look to be on an upward curve.
Summerville's recent form makes things difficult for them though. As does Corbally's - although the word is that they're due to lose a couple of key players in the New Year.
Many would see Regional involvement as unlikely, but they can't afford to be complacent, especially in view of recent results.
Haven't seen Knockainey yet this year, but their position at the foot of the table seems like the only certainty gong forward. Losing that lead away to Corbally a fortnight ago will be hard to recover from.
good report AOB ,quality of football on show very disappointing at times,Carew clinical in the first half and overall fully deserved the win.not sure what Pike are at,manager did not seem to be present..[i.e.manager who can not stand in dugout i am informed],manager in the dugout taking advice from an ex manager outside the dugout,player discipline quite poor,and on the night the team lacked balance.very impressed with Alex for Carew.Quote:

Ref wasn't up to much.IMO he wasn't giving second yellow to Colbert until Carew player got in his face.Carew full value for their victory though.Have seen this ref get intimitated by a lot if teams and does not seem to be able to handle it.Quote:
