Hard to see dromore staying up in premier next year.As for mungret..hard to say they bottled it..lost four of first five and unbeaten since august..not bad.it'll be interesting to see if they hold onto their players for next year.Dromore need to make a few signings if they've any hope but i think they'll be thought a lesson in premier.promotion may have come a year or two too early.
Time to start talking about team of the season maybe?
also,bateman park is a disgrace.its almost impossible to play football on that pitch!
We'll worry about how we're going to get on in the premier when we're actually promoted. For the moment we're not.
Hard luck last night Mulla. I thought when it went to 3-2 ye had us. Could have went either way. Bateman really isn't doing ye any favours though.
all ye have to do is beat caherdavin..if ye cant do that id be worried!
Congrats to Dromore and best of luck in Premier to both Dromore and Killmallock. Its 1a for Mungret again :(
I'm always worried!
I wouldn't bet against ye getting a result in Killmallock
We'll give it a lash anywayQuote:

We still have a few important games left not least saturday evening where at least the pitch might suit us.
It will be a massive game that we'd obviously love to win but we are under no illusions about hill celtic,I would think they are the form side going into the game but hopefully we can play as well as last night without the dodgy defending and hopefully take our chances
i thought that about done it for ye,we have no complaints,not many if any team has scored 4 against us this season,if we had scored first it may have been different but it wasn't to be.Quote:

GAA and poaching of our better players doesn't seem to help either. We had 6 points from our first 6 games this season which is appauling when you consider that in the 14 league games that we have played since we have recorded 11 wins and 3 draws.Quote:

Frankie's had trouble with the knee all season. I was amazed that he managed to get up after the first one. I hope he didn't do too much damage by staying on but he'd try to play on with one leg if he could.
Mulla - Another ref might have not played it on the pitch. We lost one of our better players on a similar surface in Cappamore. He fell in a harmless challenge and broke his arm but that's junior football. Given the quality ye have it's a shame the way the club seem to be treating ye.
As you said if the chance ye had early on that was cleared off the line went in it could have been a completely different game.
By the way this must be the best behaved thread in the forum.
Well Mulla i see your putting yourselves as the underdogs for this weekends match with us.:confused: considering ye are way above us in the table, If we have a full strength squad then it will be an interesting game of ball, ye came away with a slight win over us at the start of the season but it could be a different story come Saturday night, looking forward to it,Quote:

Its just a shame for us that we can't use lit,don't know the reason why we couldn't last night but thats between balla and the lit people.A better pitch would suit us more as we try play football when we can.
But we'll keep ploughing on and hopefully get some reward for the effort the whole squad has put in this season.
think we drew with ye 1-1?Quote:
