Castleview V Ballyphehane
Just heard that the view started the game with 8 & were 3 down before they had 11 any truth in this???
Tis all in the eye of the beholder
Sorry for the delay in posting but my days off are spent mindin my 2 kids an they just wont let me near my laptop with out wantin to put on winnie the pooh,:D.
On Saturdys 4 all draw,well we wer'nt happy leavin the Fort after scoring 4 an only gettin a point.8 goals may have been great to watch but after scorin 4 an conceedin 4 both teams should be askin serious questions about what went on.
I would prefer to say that there were 8 goals scored in a scrappy game,destroyed by niggly free kicks an a terrible surface with no blame attached to Kinsale for the surface.But what I will say is that there was very good football played when the game was allowed to flow rare as it was,Varian showed why he is such a good prospect,Danny Dunne for me was the best player on the pitch.Kinsale spent so much time worrying about Jp that Danny was allowed to show all his game.No one else caught my eye to be honest.A lot of huffin an puffin by both midfields an a very bad day at the office for both sets of defenders.
Kinsale had a game plan an givin away so many frees in an attempt to stop the game from gaining any momentum tells its own story.In fairness they were not dirty frees just very cute.I spoke to the ref after the game an he said he could not remember having to blow the whistle so much for small frees.The one at the end where Shinky seemed to bring the player down,you said yourselfs he made an lunge for the ball an not the man,and indeed the ball ended up 20 yards wide from his touch.There is a big difference in takin some one down outside the box an makin a honest challange.Ones a free ,ones a sending off.The big lad in the middle for ye got booked in the first half for consistent fouling an in the second he was even more consistent,yet no second yellow.I dont think it was the refs best game but neither side could put any blame for the goals on him.
Neither defence did anything to back up there reputation.Lets just say the goalies had an off day.I watched the Kinsale View game an one of my points across to the players was not to play around with the ball at the back because Kinsale were very good at nickin the ball,which they did very well Saturday.I can only presume that they were nervous because of the surface an tried to take the second touch to settle themselves an learned a lesson.
All I think Saturdays game has done is to ensure that the next 2 games will be a little closer.
As for some of your questions,the Grattan Kinsale is as stands,to be played on Tue night when all other league fixtures are done with.
The View are pityfull,sayin that Tizz an Bog,you never know what will turn up down Kinsale direction tonite,if they turn up at all.
Everyone one has a gripe with the Aul an the fixture list.Especially if your doin well in the Fai or Mjc.I agree with alot of the points brought up recently but your floggin a dead horse.
4-4..... littleman hangover from the dam
you're def right about the poor defending and congested midfield littleman, from a purist point of view there was no flow to the game in the 1st half and that prob suited us better, thought the 2nd half flowed a bit better but still lots of chances conceded and if it wasnt for sometimes poor finishing other times slices of luck, either team could have pulled away, if either team were to get a 2 goal cushion then i'm sure it wouldnt have been as end to end as it was, that said i thought it was a very entertaining game just from the point of chances scored and missed, bad day for both sets of defenders and goalkeepers
last nights game was over after 20 minutes, castleview arrived late, they had 11 men and a bainisteoir and that was it, we had the luxury of playing a few squad players and moved some people around so it'll knock a bit of dust off the subs if nothing else, we puffed a bit in the 1st half, lots of chances but didnt play a whole lot of passing football (nothing new there i'll hear you say), the drop of rain helped things enormously, that shocking surface you talk of was somewhat softened and the bumps less bumpy
we went in at half time 3-0 up (they hit our crossbar at 1-0 :eek: up so could've been a longer game than it was had that gone in), 2 goals from richie holland and a clanger og, crouch with a tap in and richie completed his hat trick on the hour, the boys had enuf and it wasnt getting any better so it was blown up after about the hour, 3 points in the bag keeps us in the hunt but a long way to go
ye should have it handy in hollyhill tomorrow night- some more shooting practise for yer lads :ball:, we need to take 9 points in our next three games to stay with ye so its all to do, i dont think we'll have it easy tomorrow night with leeside, they always up it for games vs kinsale and there'll be players looking to get in for the cup game at the w/e, its a must win for us so fingers crossed from me
any slant on the park side that played ye last night towlie / rebel ?? we have to play em twice and following their results, they dont seem to have the best record away from home but some very impressive results in mitchelstown, they'll be giving us nothing easy thats for sure, we also have to travel to glenthorn who are still on top of la liga so that'll be another battle for 3 points, all in front of us lads
sorry to say it but 'view are doomed and with 2 games against grattan to play so are kanturk :(
