Well it is a big one.... Winner will be in a good postion for the title and the loser is possibly out of it. Draw and its still all to play for.

Lot of twists and turns left yet....you never know what way it can go. I mean who expected the 1st division decider to go the way it did last Tuesday. :D

Anyone have an idea where it will be played Sunday. I know its down for the Green but with the bad weather promised tomorrow and Saturday is there a chance it could be changed to Doora??????

Oh by the way!!!!!!!
HandyMan....Are you out there!!!!! Have not heard from you in a few days :confused:

You may be right there as it definately doesn't help. We've drawn 6 matches this year where we should have won all of them. We also lost a few we should have at least drawn but at the end of the day the table doesn't lie. We have a good defence but badly need a goalkeeper. We were missing a central midfielder & right winger yesterday & had to play our main striker(no.7) in midfield . Its always the same. Commitment is the main problem. Too many ****heads not turning up on a sunday morning & being forced to field a crap team.

With a goalkeeper, another good striker & a left winger we'd have a decent team I feel. I'd love to get a commited squad of 16 players & give Div3 a good crack next year as its there for the taking.

I may decide to move on to another team alltogether but I'll see.
Getting sick of the commute from Limerick every weekend.

What would be your opinions of the positives & negatives of the team Hacker ??

Moving on to your own team, I feel that you are definately the best team in Div 3 & you may be kicking yourselves that you've had a few bad results which look like they've cost you the league.

Ye are good at the back & very good in midfield. Strikers are where ye could improve but saying that you have scored 53 goals this season which is an excellent tally. If ye do go up you should easily stay up next season unless it goes tits up for ye.

as for your own team..ye have a good defence...an average midfield and a non existing attack....don't think the goalie is that bad did nothing wrong in the 2 games against us this year..the midfield is a bit young bar fitzy..one more player with a bit off experience{paco would be ideal} would fill the gap and the younger lads would learn from this...your attack has been bad against us this year...not sure if ye were missing anyone against us but that old fella{must be about 60} the other night was just a moaner...as you say a panel of about 16 committed players is what you need...we have about 20 lads that turn up every week..good luck with next year

The keeper should have saved the 2nd goal. He let it off thinking it was going wide. Fitzy is our striker & I think he's scored something like 17 goals in 17 games this season & himself & that auld fella :D link up very well when they are together. The trouble the other night was we were missing our best midfielder & had to drop Fitzy back there which took away any goal scoring threat from us.

Must say you have a good squad. The big fella that came on upfront wasn't the easiest guy to handle & basically any of the substitutes that came on didn't appear to weaken ye at all. Best of luck against Kilkee !!

Yeah that Ould fella does make a lot of noise! Himself and the other Ould lad played against Bridge celtic B earlier on in the year and barracked the defence no end for no aparent reason...cost them the game!

Any news on Avenue B from Wednesday night, very quiet might have lost, if they did they would have to win their last game of Burren could pinch the second spot!!!

Definitely, Kilkishen have an u-21 GAA match down for Sunday morning taking a few of their players...Bridge were always going to win this one anyway. Prediction; 3-1 to the away team!

HandyMan....Are you out there!!!!! Have not heard from you in a few days :confused:

avenue cannot afford to lose as they would be 2 points behind bridge who would have 2 games in hand. every other club will be hoping for a draw. if both teams cannot be up for a crunch league decider then there in the wrong sport. green was in good nick but it has been raining all morning so it will be in **** especially when it seems half of clare are training on it. this type of weather might suit bridge.
4 teams in with a shout for league is what u need every year, but apart from us what publicity has it got. did u see champions effort on league table pleaseeee soccer on clare fm will give us update across the water first. premiership would kill for an ending like this, dream scenarios but who knows so who cares. one week of hype and u could have 3 to 4 hundred watching bridge game instead of 40 people. then highlight lifforrd/bridge. like in the second division if they left avenue/tage till the last fixture it would still be nip and tuck and attract crowds.

drew 0-0 with pike. avenue had 13 playes 3 played injured and 4 played 3 games between them all year. all they needed was a point to be sure to go up. so avenue b are now in the first division. but heard on the grapevine a few are retiring as they dont have the legs anymore r have to attend physio after most match's 3 rd spot is between burren (v cooraclare) and kildysart (vavenue b) 2 points between them in burrens favour.

Funny that A2Z has you two points clear with one game each left, still on unless the results are wrong, Kildystart won't be easy for your last game!

There's 11 teams in the division so according to a2z they each have 3 games left. Is this the only division in the league that isn't still up in the air?
