He might not start the first game but you bet your bottom dollar that will be the last time he will be on the bench this year with Leeside.Quote:

What does everyone else think about this or would you just play your strongest team every week mo matter what ??????Quote:

Yes Shetland,i'd expect Dermot to start tomorrow,he's looked good in training and should be a huge addition.We have some very good keepers at the club and will make the competition interesting.
Shane Molly Hurley is due back after playing GAA!!!!!
He'll have his work cut out now to get his place back but in fairness hes a good keeper and well capable when he's tuned in.
GAA was a bad choice!!!!!
Thats like asking for the lotto numbers for the next draw - a tough one for any manager to balance this one - the hope would be that all players would be of equal ability and the ones who are most commited get picked!!Quote:

this post probably has no relevance to what is on here, just wish to voice my excitement at the joy of been back playing soccer for my home town Carrigaline Utd, after a long absence from the game.
we have a fantastic management team pairing on our team with derek Mccarthy and Dave Manning, who have been training us very hard and doing some fantastic drills aswell, aswell as macker been a great player aswell his attitude is fantastic, they give all players a chance we have now a fantastic squad of roughly 30 players so far, some great players from the GAA club who won intermediate county championship this year aswell
the club is going from strength to strength, a top class astro pitch aswell i have to say and club house is great too, the attitude at the club is fantastic at all levels i am amazed with the effort the trainers and players put in, and the respect shown for one another is great too. great managers all around at the club, just so excited with the prospect of a great season ahead after our 3-0 win last week over a weel organised and great team of central rovers who amass in talent aswell. heres hoping to a great season for a great ever improving club Carrigaline utd..
Olachico,you sort of answered the question without answering it but it sounds like your with me on this one. You train you play and if you dont train you dont play i think its as simple as that:DQuote:

i'll let ye know how it goes.
While I agree with you to a certain extent I also think the manager of any team must be ruthless come match day & pick the best 11 to start.If your best player misses training the week before a game to drop him would leave 10 of the starting 11 down.Quote:

& make no mistake people are quick to point the finger at the manager if a win is not got.
Grattan 2 - 0 Blarney St, another 3 points
Latest result from Leeside park
Leeside A 2 - 1 Wilton
Should have been around 5 or 6 to be honest. First half Wilton were the better team and lead 1 nil at the break. Second half all Leeside to be fair. Derek started so id say not all will be happy with that one but what can ya do. Enjoy the weekend
I thought he might :D so maybe Avondale rated Spratt higher - football its all a matter of opinion!!Quote:

Good wins for Grattan and Leeside. 9 points for Grattan, 7 for Leeside.
Good starts and important to have points on the board.
Thats a draw for Wilton against Coachford and now a loss and in both games they have been leading. Worrying from their point of view i suppose.
Any report from the Grattan lads, tough northside derby, surely a few talking points?
took a trip to ballyvolane park. ballyvolane 5 leeds o .blue and red must have been happy
Macroom 3-0 Glenthorn
This one was all over by half time, Macroom 3 nil up at that stage.
Glenthorn were surprisingly very poor ( after a good league result last week ) :confused::confused: Maybe they were missing a few today. But not taking anything away from Macroom , they were very impressive especially in the 1st half .
Gratts 2 Blarney St 0
No real talkin points to be honest an I dont think anyone who watched the game would say Blarney St we hard done by an if anythin the score flattered them an not us.Lookin at the game our work rate was unbeliveable,the St had no answer to it.Again another opinion would be appriciated.Absaloutley delighted with the result an the attitude of a group of players who seem to be playing as if they have sometin to prove,again awsome display of fitness an ability.
Oh ya,a sendin off for Blarney st,2 nil down a the time,the player should be ashamed of himself for what he did,but in sayin that his team did better withoit him than with.
