Danny Colbert got the first one and ya Kelly got the 2nd. He should have got a couple of more. The man is a great goalscorer very clever and he,s even carrying an injury at the moment. Ya signed skinner aswell the 2 of them are linking up nicely. Signed a few good players alright but lost a few key players through injury's Wayne O'Donnell broken ankle ,mala ankle ligaments and Steven Long broken leg. Just aswell there is a very strong B squad there aswell they will have a big impact especially with the games coming thick and fast.

Pike 0 - 4 Holycross.
A disaster for us. They were very poor, but with only ten men we couldn't cope. We are struggling to field a team. It is getting worse each week. I'd say we'll be lucky to see out the season. We've never been in such bad shape.Our only hope is if Abbey and Holycross keep losing. Can't see where the points are going to come from for us.

Murroe vs Park match was abandoned after 5mins. One of the Murroe players picked up a very bad injury to his left leg in a challenge. Hope he is ok.
Seen a small bit of the Prospect-Abbey game. Lads the game was awful but it's a good result for Prospect who look in good shape overall.

whats gone wrong up there with our b team.iv been away for last few weeks but how come we can,t field a team i thought we had 20 odd plus signed.i heard paul coffee and daglish had to tog out recently .they must,nt have played in nearly 3 years and isnt pauls knee giving him trouble.we should never have blaguarded darre and jaffa,darren was keeping that team going when no one had interest.

We sign 20 plus every season bud, but when the sun goes in and it gets cold, most of them go into hibernation, and only the players who give a damn turn up.
As for those two players you mentioned togging out for us a few weeks ago, it's only a pity we haven't more like them. They would play for us on one leg, whilst other so called players couldn't be bothered even showing up.
We signed one too many wasters this season. And now we're suffering.
As for blaguarding as you put it, those two other lads, well all I can say to that is, when they played for us, they were two you could rely on for sure,aswell as Kieran Stewart and Rob Sheedy. All we are trying to do now, is hang onto 1B status and organise ourselves in the Summer for next season. But it's proving a real struggle. Can't tell how it's going to go. All we few players left can do is dig in and hope for the best at this stage. Not enough people within the club, give a damn about the B team. It's always the way up there.

Any fixtures for w'end lads??

We definitely deserved at least a draw after been 4-2 down.If we had taken the chances in the first half it could have been a different game.But fair play to Prospect they just about hung on.:(:(:(

thats true,is dobber still involved he,d be the right man with p coffee helping him out,

Ya he's still playing!! As I said, next season is when we hope to get it sorted. Just try to survive the rest of this.

Some result for Prospect that. They are hitting form now alright. Anybody get the result of Knockainey - Holycross?

I know exactly what your talking about. When we played away to them, What they didn't say is not worth repeating..... There is slagging, but then there is ignorance and they definately are the latter.
Obviously the ref was on the wrong side of it last night.
I think one the Star Rovers players got a few digs as he was leaving the ground after the Lawson Cup game.
Why don't the LDMC do something about them?:rolleyes:

Automatic relegation :D :D :D

Sunday 13/04/08 (10.30)
Prospect 2 v 2 Coonagh
Shels 3 v 0 Abbey
Knockainey 2 v 2 Pike
Murroe 1 v 3 Park (2.30)

Tuesday 15/04/08 (18.30)
Prospect 3 v 1 Murroe
Abbey 1 v 2 Park
St.Pats 2 v 3 Croom

Thursday 17/04/08 (18.30)
Shels 1 v 2 Fairview

Predictions for up coming games

Think your way off the mark. Shels have constantly broken rules. We are trying to play football. Intimidation is fair up a point, but threats and bullying of referees is unacceptable. As a walked to the dressing room he was hounded to a level i have never witnessed. I still cant see their problem, there was nothing to complain about. Pike B aint far off the mark in calling for them to be relegated.

It definitely is a big game for both teams.If Coonagh play ball at pace they'll come away with 3 pts.To be honest Prospect aren't fit at all.You could see it with a few of there players last night against Fairview.The Fairview lads could have played for another 45 mins.

I agree Prospect are not very fit but neither were fairview. Prospect finished the stronger scoring 2 goals in the last 2 mins so what does that tell u:p:p:p. You got to remember its tough playing 2 games sunday and tuesday u only have 1 day to recover maybe that took its toll on both teams.....

A lot of teams have that problem. Dominating but not taking their chances. We on the other hand don't get any chances!!! :D

Coonagh have the following games

Home - Prospect, Pike B, St. Pats
Away - Abbey, Croom and Murroe

Park and Prospect who have ye left to play. Hopefully the final spot will go to the wire. Has the makings of a great finish and who ever goes up will deserve it.

Its up to the MIDFIELDERS to create the chances for the strikers.

I have to disagree with you there.two of the Prospect players were f#####d after 15 mins of play.One of the players couldn't even get back to defend.Their left and right full players didnt pass the half way line for the whole game for the simple reason as the wouldnt have been able to get back.WERE YOU AT THE GAME????

Was there ya Daithi stewart was playing left full he was struggling a small bit for fitness alright he,s only back after been out for a few weeks so its understandable. The right full was Francis Kett Who in my opinion is the best right full in the division at the minute i've seen him in a number of games vey solid and is very fit, so i don't know why u say he was struggling. As i said in a previous post it was a great win for prospect who are struggling to get the same 11 each week. They have a lot of injuries at the minute players that did'nt play last night Anthony Falahee (mala), Alan Daly, Skinner McCormac, Danny Colbert, Wayne O'Donnell (broken leg),Steven long (broken leg), David Colbert. With their centre of midfield duo out Alan Daly and Mala they had to shift the whole team around last night so as i said great result.......
If these players were so bad does'nt look good for ye that ye could'nt capitalize on it.
