st. peters too much to say for a team that only won the potter cup last year, fair enough junior final, but if peters had a under 12 team, they would have put up a better performance, well more fight anyway!!!! second my as well been last!!!winners only please!!!!!
Not Been smart but that comment sounded like a 12 year old..only 1 potter cup.and only got to ALL IRELAND FINAL 1st team in 80 years from ATHLONE Very poor season alright.True there performance was poor in final.I think peters and anyother teams have a right to say what They want on here..whoever wins sunday will have the braggin rights then i suppose.Quote:

Makes me wish I was back playing :(
Ash..
Willow Park & St.Peters have started strong..
Melville may struggle as they seem to be leaking goals..
Monksland A look very strong and should be promoted..
Temple Villa are capable of getting promotion also..
Willow Park B need to start winning asap or else will struggle..
St.Peters B should be favourites for their division..
Clonbonney have started well..
Gentex have started ok..
Clonown have started ok..
Monksland B will have to start picking up points..
Melville Celtic may struggle as they are young so i heard..
HAVE I LEFT OUT ANY ATHLONE SIDES IN THE CCFL?
Are u serious?? what age are you really
Well holy god. I've never seen such poor refereeing as today.
Monksland B v Banagher. Ref gave them absolutely everything ... although it
was kinda expected seeing as the Banagher manager is also Sec of the CCFL.
Quote of the day after another ridiculous decision by the ref:
"You wouldnt be complaining about my decisions if you were winning"
Went to the local derby Melville Celtic v Gentex too. Gentex came back to win
3-2 but credit to the Melville keeper, had an absolute stormer in the 2nd half.
Yes some of the refereeing is questionable at times. They show a total disregard to people efforts considering they are the only people there on Sunday actually being paid to do their job! Was at a game recently where the ref got 80 euro for his trouble. Obviously had to travel a bit (don't know the milage) but it can't have been that far because to schedule a game for a ref where he would have to travel far enough to make that sort of fee would be madness!
Surprised to hear Mr Bond is still coaching..... I would have thought that he would have to step down from one or the other. I know he was a referee once too and prob knew the guy you had yesterday!
Yep, he wasnt over them last year but is this season. Some clubs have already
lodged objections due to questionable refereeing during games against
Banagher this year.
Although I cant see it doing any good. Who do you send letters of complaint about Karl Bond to??? Why the League Sec of course, Karl Bond!!!
Speaking of refereeing do you know who is ref for the big Willow and Peters game on Sunday. And what did you make of the ref for the last game between the sides at McCarthy park.
Cant answer either Im afraid, I couldnt make it to the last game between them. Dunno who ref the upcoming cupQuote:

Actually a great bit of defending during Melville v Gentex. Gentex winger got the ball, tore down the line ... skipped
past the full back only to be blocked, well put off at least, by a young lad cycling across the pitch!!! Play on says the ref
Umbro FAI Junior Cup 1st Round
Willow Park v St.Peters; 2.00; Willow Park,Athlone; C.McDermott P.Geoghegan M.Buckley
I would say Columbo will be the man in the middle.
Pics from some of the weekends games for anyone interested
CCFL Division 3B
Monksland United B 2-3 Banagher
Melville Celtic 2-3 Gentex
i see from previous posts that no one on this site had the decincy to congratulate willow park on their second league in as many years just tought it was strange seen as must of ye claim that ye are not bias to any club?

I think's it fairly obvious who's camp people are from on this board.
Why has it taken you a week to congratulate willow if it means so much to you to hear the praises? Good luck to them, well done to Sully if it helps you. I shook everyone of their hands after that playoff match and evryone said it was the kick of a ball that beat us, much more modest than some of your comments (half of which have been deleted!)
Ash, fair play to you with the photographs, it's great to see the other divisions with Athlone teams being plugged. You mentioned the Melville Keeper had a great game at the weekend, wasn't Philly Keogh by any chance? Good lad is Philly, does a lot of work behind the scenes and it is people like him who keep clubs going.
No wasnt Philly, it was a young lad. bit shakey in the 1st half but made up
for it in the 2nd. I think the D3B side Melville Celtic are a kind of break away
club to Melville in the Premier ... as Mr. Miyagi would say, "Same Same But
Different" :D
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2633/...38439a0c0e.jpg
Thanks Ash, Mr Keogh might have gone to the Otherside perhaps?
It's good to see some Athlone interest in this forum but are there any other non athlone teams on here? Surprised there is none one on from Mullingar Town or Athletic.
I see Clara are playing the Mun in the LFA 1st round.... I would not rule out an upset in this one. Willow played Ballymun and should have beat them last year, Peters played them and never looked like beating them. As football sayings go, "It's a funny old game Saint"...
Think I got the gist of that post, punctuation wouldn't go a miss.
Don't know of anyone betting, wouldn't touch it anyway cos it'd give us the blink!
sorry about punctuation spent to much time mitching school instead of attending .back to football maters i think willows new signing colin furtune could sway it there way he seems to have that touch of class that could unlock peters strong set up.its great to see good athlone league of ireland players now playing junior football we tryed to sign one 10 years ago and he laughed at us saying it was micky mouse football how times have changed long my it continue.if u got the best from willow and peters and play them lads that are repersenting our town i garentee they would run them close.Quote:

I wouldnt say a touch of class added there,,all he is is a very strong physical player..always has been,,but willows midfield is very light so will be an addition,,Ill agree with ure comment that it is good to see LOI players playing Junior,,think thats all I agree with you on though!Quote:

It makes me laugh to hear you judge players on weight and muscle. Is this a fourm about football or boxing. And i know their is a good chance you were not at the CCFL awards night last year due to having nothing to collect but if you were their you would know that the award for the best player went to Benny McGuinnes and he's not that big is he.???The best players have a good touch and can pass the ball. And its the abilty to play good football that has given Willow so much success over the last few years.Quote:

The only team news out of either camp will be 11 players will will play from a squad of 16! Going to be a great game and to comment on an earlier post it is one of the reasons why former LOI players are coming back to the lower level. Most of the lads now playing CCFL who once played LOI would not have played in a game with a much hype around it. Not to underestimate their LOI achievements but amature Junior football is the closest the FAI have in terms of the GAA factor and the parochial feeling around clubs. I disucssed this before on the Limerick forum when they were going bust for the third time in 3 years earlier this year!
Whoever wins, the spot light will be on them and I cannot wait for Wednesday's paper and the match report. Will the reporter be standing beside gerry or sit with Sully???
Sorry for going off topic.
Maybe the standard was set with reaching a Junior Cup final,speaks for itself I think!Quote:

fr damo, not really sure why ur gettin hot under the collar, about the match report/reporter, seems to me you never played football, because i`m certin either of the players from both teams,could`nt care less about the report on the match!!lets talk football not politics and silliness please father!!
think i said bringin home the bacon!!not silver!!
Yeah your probably right... It is the result that counts afterall so your earlier post of winners only and no second placed teams please might also be correct!!!Quote:

Do you like contradicting yourself because you seem to do it alot,,and you might be able to speak for Willow players but you cant for Peters players so you dont know what they think about Reporter/report.Quote:

Really looking forward to sundAY ITS THE BIGGEST GAME TO HIT ATHLONBE
IN 10 YEARS .Does any1 have opinion on this one .
I have trained with Willow this year .And it has inspired me to achieve what Willow have over the last 2 years.Tony O sullivan has created 1 of the best CCFL teams ever . St peters need 2 win back 2 back titles to match willow parks success over the last few yrs.Do you think that the current St.peters side is young enough or good enough to match this achievment .
