I can understand how certain players who want to play but cant afford it get travel expenses (ie Students) but there has to be a line. It annoys that some players wish to profit while others are travelling down from dublin every weekend just to play with their local team and the lads they grew up. Its the players who sacrifice and have a genuine passion for the game are the ones that should be paid but never look for a penny.
I have to agree with footy247 i think it will be between NCW and Broadford for the league. NCW have signed and re-signed some very good players so you would have to make them favourites. Shannonside with losing those 2 players and from what i've heard not gaining any will do well to finish behind these 2. Strange that those payers left shannonside after a very successful season last year. It will be an interesting game sunday between NCW and Shannonside with former players and managers up against each other. We will know more about what shape Rathkeale and Abbey are in also after the weekend games.
Are all games going ahead this eve with all that rain, it's unreal if games will be called off in first weekend

heard people going on about broadford tonite only having half a team, well also heard also rathkeale wer missing 6/7 off there team. descent results for rathkeale,shannonside and carrig.
Was at the first half of broadford ratkeale game and 2nd half of abbey ncw game. wat i saw broadford totally dominated the game and cant believe ratkeale took the 3 points but fair play to them,its a massive win for them,it was same story at the abbey game,how they did not get a result i just dont know.they totally dominated the 2nd half an their striker missed a absolute sitter after 10 mins, ncw looked totally unfit near the end. Tomorrows games are big ones for all these four teams now. just another small point to make, it was great that abbey can play under lights an give us a chance to take games in.the more the better as there was a fine crowd there.
southern kid completely true i was there myself. broadford did control the first half but really only created 2 chance's. Ratheale on the other hand completely dominated the second and could have scored 3 more goals only for the broadford goalkeeper. he made at least one fantastic point blank save. broadford shouldnt worry though as they lost the first game also last season and after that had a great one

Great pity to see this happen i guess standards will be dropping in the league with teams having no youths.....
predictions for tomorrow, ncw 2 shside 0 ratk 1 abbey nil, carrig 2 glin 1 balling 0 kill o
I said on here 2 seasons ago that the league needed to look at youths soccer because the league would suffer at junior level in the long run with the way it was going.I think the way forward is to change youths to Sunday,I understand that smaller junior clubs may need their youth players to play junior but it will benefit everyone long term Im sure!With the age now a year younger than before this should be less the case anyway, it's hard to knock young fellas working on a Saturday instead of playing and again Sunday might make these players available.Quote:

was at the newcastle west vs shannonside match this morning.a good entertaining game.newcastle west went up one nil when a free kick into the box was headered to the back of the net by daniel power.shannonside levelled when a mix up in the ncw box from a corner saw the shannonside player finished it.ncw went 2-1 when mark doherty blasted the ball passed darren kavanagh in goals.ncw went 3-1 up when keith power at right back scored from 80yards when kavanagh took a free kick on the half way line straight to power and kicked the ball all the way to the back of the net..shannonside got a second when another mix up in the ncw box was buried to the back of the net by the shannonside player..

Watched the Newcastle vs Shannonside match yesterday. Very entertaining game played at a high tempo. Newcastle took a deserved lead at 2-1 mid way through the first half but then just before the break when shannonside were getting on top they gave away a crazy goal when their keeper took a free in newcastles half and keith power blasted what looked like a clearance into the shannonside net from his own box with kavanagh scrambling back. To shannonsides credit they came out in the second half and totally dominated newcastle. They got 1 goal back midway through the second half and piled on the pressure for the rest of the half but couldnt get the equalizer. Finished 3-2 with shannonside deserving at least a draw from the game but newcastle have 2 wins from 2 now and getting the bit of luck needed if they are to win the league back. Long way to go but they have an early advantage.
Scorers for newcastle Dan power, doherty, Keith power. For Shannonside moroney, doody.
Rathkeale have had a great start to the season and could surprise a few nutjobs who were tipping them for relegation. Always have too much quality to go down.
Great result for ncw yesterday, by all accounts shannonside deserved something out of it as did abbey on the fri nite but shows ncw can win ugly when they have to.Great start by carrig aswell. What happened in ratkeale game yesterday?i heard barry riordan got straight red for kicking out/fighting.Thought they would beat abbey yesterday.
watched the second half of rathkeale and abbey they were very evenly matched yesterday. rathkeale scored a great goal and then from the kick off gifted abbey a penalty to make it 1-1. john kelleher did a disgraceful challenge on barry riordan left him with scars from his ribs down to his knee from his studs.riordan retaliated and got sent off deservingly so, amazing kelleher only got a yellow typical refereeing in the desmond leagueQuote:

i understand where your coming from shouldnt react letting teammates down but how do you explain the scars terrible challengeQuote:

Was talking to a referee tonight and he told me kellihers challenge was fair but hard and he got booked for reacting to riordans kick out and not the challenge.In fairness neither player are dirty players so prob just done in heat of moment. was that ratkeals 2nd red in 1st two games sky home? disipline probs!!
i dont know i only saw sundays second half and that was one red anyway. i must find out about the broadford game. ha ha more than likely i know the managers from rathkeale were sent off more times than anyone else in the desmond league so wouldnt surprise me. as you said its usually all heat of the moment stuff i'd sayQuote:

Abbeys new signing from Athea Joe Weir got away without a sending off where he left the ground and came in with a two footed challenge earlier in the game leaving the rathkeale midfielder in agony on the ground, thats a straight red card not yellow in this day and age. No consistancy with his refereeing.
I am just wondering, why have the two Rathkeale lads refused to comment on a horrific tackle by their full back on Tossie Butler on Fri nite, Only for Tossie jumping out of the way your man would have crippled him, and what did he get only a second yellow card. To be fair to everyone lads, if ye are not going to give accurate reports then dont bother giving any report at all. There was nothing wrong with John Kellihers challenge, no one could ever accuse him of being a dirty player.Quote:

Richard Shorten got two well deserved yellow cards. The first was for a blatant pull back of a jersey. The second for a late sliding tackle. Your right that Tossie was lucky to jump out of the way. Having said that the conditions were very difficult and i think it was mistimed more than "horrific" to use your own word. I do think that Tossie made the most of a couple of other challenges by going to ground pretty easily. Rathkeale had at least 3 other players booked on Friday night and Adrian Lyons should have been sent off for a last man tackle with about 30 minutes to go. It would almost certainly have been a different result then
In relation to Sunday and in particular the Barry O'Riordan and John Kelliher incident. From where i was standing i didn't realise that John Kellher had done anything wrong at all. Barry turned around and kicked John and then there was a bit of pushing and shoving but nothing to write home abouot. I couldn't see why Barry had reacted the way he did until he pulled up the leg of his shorts to show the ref stud marks running the length of his thigh. Afterwards in the dressing room it turned out that he had stud marks on his rib cage aswell so the challenge had actually started on his rib cage with marks down to his knee. although he still should never have reacted the way he did i imagine it was a pinful challenge nad he lost the head for a split second. I don't think that John did it on purpose, i don't think that would be like him but everyone makes mistakes and mistimes things and that is probably what happened there. It probably was a yellow card. I htink like Richard Shorten on Friday it was more a case of mistiming the challenge than anything sinister. I did think that John should have been booked int he first half ofr a handball outside his box whihc looked deliberate to me which would have meant a second yellow later. As i said earlier though i am biased but i'm trying to be objective. by the way Adrain Lyons should have been sent off in the first half of the Abeby game too for another last man tackle but only got a yellow.
2 minors, a limerick footballer who wont play more that 5 games, mikey lyons nowayref has hit the nail in the head, and 3 lads I never heard of. It doesnt say much for the lads that are there. As for the Tossie comment, point proven about not giving accurate reports and a bit ironic when Barry Riordan nearly started crying with a scratch on his legQuote:

John kelliher has always been a dirty player. The reason he gets away with it is because he is sneaky about it...
