just because a team might be succesful it doesnt give the referees the right to give them an advantage.. every little decision yesterday and cotts was shouting his head off and the "referee" blew for it because he was afraid of him. not saying thats why they won but referees need to be a lot more consistent. thomas long does nearly every avondale game and he is an ex avondale player, i mean come on now like a joke is a joke.
[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]This Tomas long chestnut won't go away will it ? In fairness he's played for st Mary's & rockmount too egg , what's he supposed to do just ref the remaining teams games ? I'm looking forward to the refs swapping leagues next season cos this discussion with tomas long reffing games of past clubs is nuts & I'm fairly sure he's not afraid of cotts or any manager for that matter .Quote:

Any team not playing this weekend that would like to have a friendly? Fermoy are available to play, can provide pitch or can travel. Give me a bell on 087-1504131 if interested.

Who would you fancy to see it out & get Promoted?
Most people on here would be biased, how about you?Quote:

I think Bandon and fermoy will come up overall prob have the strongest squads id say.. This weekend will tell a lot . Think ucc and carrigaline will comes up short n think castleview will need to put a fierce run together which won't happen as they don't train and squad is light.
Castleview don't train? What do you mean by that? Unless i'm going somewhere strange every tuesday and thursday!Quote:

Sounds like you know your stuff! Tough one to call alright, I'd go with UCC & Carrigaline.
I just want to clarify lads, we(Castleview) do train, twice a week. Tuesdays and Thursdays, but obviously with work we don't aways have our full squad training but who can afford to miss work for training these days? The squad was a bit light last weekend against Glasheen but that was down to work and suspensions. I have no doubt we will throw the gauntlet to the teams above us when we play Bandon on saturday, we are still in the thick of things and it will go to the wire, but remember all the top teams still have to play each other!!!
You can take it as been Clarified. Bandon v Castleview will be an interesting result.Quote:

Well your numbers are poor for training would be the correct way of putting it.Quote:

Am I reading this right that Brendan O'Connell is up for FAI intermediate player of the year?? Strange after him having a poor seasin so far http://www.munsterseniorleague.ie/ne...hp?news_id=232
Or is it for his services over the past few years?Quote:

Their goal difference this season tells you all you want to know. 26 for, 12 against in 10 games. It works out at just about a 2-1 winning margin each week.
They've been less than impressive in the games I've seen them playing but the rest just aren't good enough and they will all need to up their game significantly next season to even go close.
Unless Killester are a top side then Avondale look likely to pick up the easiest League and FAI Intermediate Cup double ever.
In the first division, it's looking like UCC and Bandon.
