I hear you. Its a right pain in the ass and hard to get a good run going.

Last season we had 12 league games played before Xmas and we were playing well as there was a good run of games every week. Our first game after Xmas wasnt until March and trying to get form back can be quite difficult.

I thought I would have this weekend free, the website had a free weekend for the FAI, and now we have a game on Sunday that I wont be able to make. Going to the Ryder Cup and not missing that after applying and paying for tickets 18 months ago. First game missed in 4 seasons.

going to ryder cup as well this weekend on friday... my PGA card came in useful at last Free Ticket to watch it... looking forward to it... Shelslimerick had a great idea for next season with having a lower division cup to run while the MFA and FAI is on, OLd Keeper said its worth trying but have to get teams to write or mail the LDMC might be worth a look at so not to be in this situation next year

Definitely, will get the committee to write in requesting it. There used to be a few more cup competitions but they were got rid of due to fixture congestion. One of these was for clubs from 3A to 4B and was called the TSB if I remember correctly. Our A team won it 3 or 4 times when they used to be in 3A. Always a very keenly contested cup.

Yeah you left out the last sentence conveniently. Where have you been recently? Just cos youre injured doesnt mean you cant watch the games.

Playing Parkville this weekend, can anyone give me directions to there field???

I presume its on in Cals. If so they play on Weston Villas pitch.

The pitches on Cals are accessed from Hyde Road. Thats the road going from say the train station up to Childers Road and the pitches are behind the houses on the left. Westons pitch is about half way up and there is a small green just off the main road on the left where there is a shop. There is a small entrance to the left of the shop to go through to the pitch.

Won 4-1 against St Pats. Could have been more but we missed alot of chances. St Pats had a man sent off early in the second half for a deliberate hand ball.

Yeah. It's going well right now. No major injuries so far which is the difference on previous years. Big game this Sunday against Croom. If we win that it will leave us six points ahead of them but they will have 2 games in hand.

Its hard to gauge who are the strongest teams so far with Croom, St Pauls and St Pats only playing 3 games each.

See ye came back from 2-0 to win on Sunday. Great comeback that.

yeah great comeback, they could have easily scored four our five in first half.. we weren't at the races due to a little mistake by our management... was looking at the website and saw that we were the away team.. so i assumed that we are playing down near the cals pitch... so went down there and found out they don't play there and don't have a pitch the game had been changed to our pitch but there was no mention on the website of it...

so we had gone a nice little round trip for nothing.. weren't prepared played terrible in first half, went 2 down got a break with a penalty then scored a second a minute later, the second half it was mostly parkville but all shots were straight to the keeper and then we got lucky break when a weak shot bundled under the keeper.. what can i say thats SOCCER for you :)

bit annoyed the website wasn't upto date showing change of fixture and worsed of all PARKVILLE left with out paying ref, we had to i thought its the home team who pays the ref and this fixture they were the home team. :confused:

Oops. Sorry Ryan, I thought they still played at Cals. Their A team are in our division and I didnt know they were playing all their games away from home.

i will let you off with it this time :)

so how's your season going , playing well... staying away from goalkeeping for a while the Coonagh game has left me a nervous wreck :eek: ,

playing centre half now. Our A team have had good start and the B's are starting to gel, Shels look the team to catch in 4b this year.:ball:

Can I have the dole, can I??? Are you coming down to shout on the mighty Coonagh...it's a huge one this weekend.

It's looking like a good 3 way battle in 3B at the moment. Hard to know if Summerville will challenge but i know that game is going to be sticky given past confrontations. It's a shame there are going to be so few games for us this season though. Is there a cup for 3B does anyone know?

I'm sure there is the divisional cup. We had discussed on here a few weeks back the possibility of a cup between 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B. Old Keeper agreed that it was a good idea but we need to get clubs to write to the secretary about it.

yeah also getting our PA aka Secretary to send request

but also was asking the ldmc why have three or four leagues of eight next year why not ditch the last league and put the appropripate teams into to the other divisions making sure each league has at least ten teams giving minimum of 18-20 games in the season..

what you think???
03/10/2006, 2:24 PM
larrywhite

Yeah the divisions should definitely be bigger. Teams cant get a good run of form going when you play for 2 weeks and then have nothing for 2 weeks. We only train once a week so if theres no game at the weekend it does affect performances and fitness.

Ryan...we have a good start to the season, only played 4 games so far and unbeaten. Played top of the table Caherconlish a few weeks ago and drew 3-3 away. Good point as they were a handy side and only lost 3-2 to Summerville A (1A) the week after. Another big one this weekend at home to Herbertstown. Always very tight games and we are missing a few who have decided to play a junior football semi instead. Bloody GAA.

Good to hear Mister Barrywhite sorry Larrywhite :rolleyes: ,

its been so so start for our lads , conceded last touch of the game equaliser against St Pauls in first game of season to good wins against St Pats and Parkville, to bad performances with Shels and Croom. but 7 points out of 15 could be worse.. had high hopes for my lads after friendlies but its early hopefully the weather won't mess up our fixtures too much this winter to keep the season ticking

if you wanna a friendly in free weeks of FAI and Munster we are free and hopefully LDMC will have spare refs for those weekends...:ball:
03/10/2006, 3:37 PM

I was well impressed with ye when we played pre season. Thought ye would do very well in 4B. Keep it going...ye play good footbal and that always comes through. One bit of advice if I may...very important to keep training thru Xmas break. You can get a good head start on any teams that have been eating and drinking too much over the holiday period. :D

Looks like we will have free weekends on October 15th and 22nd as our As will be playing in the FAI and MFA so will give you a shout next week about it after fixtures come out in Tuesday.

The only fighting you should be doing is to get fit and try to get your place back.

As for players dropped....not training and not letting me know why will see you on the bench. Phelo always played centre back before joining us but I thought his talents could be better used elsewhere on the pitch. By the way he played very well as sweeper.

If 3 Heroes showed up for the games he wouldnt need to ask about them on here. ;) Anyway I doubt if we will ever be as painful as that 1A thread. Some guys moan on there almost as much as on the pitch.

Here i would love to get one of those loonies in a cup game, just to see what they are actually like to play against.... just to see if they are just all mouth or actually they are quite good at football :ball:

I have seen quite a few of them playing against our A team this season and last and I can tell you they would wreck your head with the amount of moaning on the pitch. Goes for most teams in 1A in fact including our own. As for the players there are very few outstanding players in 1A. Most teams would have one or two handy players and the rest steady eddies. I thought our As would be certs for relegation this season but having seen them improve and others in the division dont look good at all I think they will come 6th or 7th again. Not bad for only their second season in the division. Main thing is to stay there.
