whatever about critising refs for making bad decisions in a game but i think it is very harsh complaining about a ref getting offsides right when he is on his own with no linesmen

most people who are compaining are seeing from a far better view then the ref (i.e. sideline or on the pitch) but the ref could be 20/30 yards away and looking from behind the play not even side on and has to try and make a judgement

there are linesmen in EURO 2008 getting it wrong

In front??? i'm positive that means he is offside, in actual fact the offside rule is :

It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:

• he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

• interfering with play or
• interfering with an opponent or
• gaining an advantage by being in that position.

now when they mean nearer the goal line it covers any part of the main body his/her Head ,body and legs and feet, his or her arms or hands isn't included.

Now your telling me with the fact we are one person who are never going to be in the perfect position every time and without the help of assistant referees and a split second to call it that we are a disgrace and dont know the rules properly. personally i say we are human and we are doing the best we can under the circumstances we are given and a just a little bit of respect in what we do would be appreicated but i know by your reply you have none so we will leave at that

easy tiger,when i say in front i'm actually looking at it from a defenders point of view with his back to the goals,and the attacking player IN FRONT of him,not behind him which would be offside if active or interfering,sorry i didn't have the text book responce for you but i misplaced my rule book,don't take this personnal but the majority of refs in this town aren't the best and thats my opinion,not saying they're all bad but alot are

Boro 1-2 Regional

boro didn't start playing until they were reduced to 9,Regional could of had a bag full if the ref(who was scandalous,but sure aren't they all)knew the offside rule,he gave at least 6 offsides that clearly weren't,tried to appease the boro by giving the offsides after harshly sending off Alan Barry after awarding him a free(2nd yellow),Mark Sheehan should of been sent off for hauling down Alan Carroll when he was clear through,and Regional should have had a man sent off 5 mins later for an awful foul on Carroll,that said Regional deserved to win,16 year old Dean Glasheen had another solid game at right back,A Carroll and D Hanley also deserve a mention for another committed performance,kept going until the end when others heads had dropped

---

i understand people have opinions but people have to understand the hardest rule to apply correctly is the offside rule, is he offside is he not, is he interfereing with play or not , is he interfering with opponent. all at the exact moment the ball is touched by player.

the comment was a bit tongue in cheek jock,i'm leaving it at that time to move on

Pike 1-2 Balla


Final
Regional v Balla (Tuesday June 17th 2008)

Any comments on the Pike-Balla game? I was tied up with work all day til 11.

balla deserved the win.

before and after they scored the second goal they had enough chances to score another couple. Pike had a few half chances towards the end but wouldnt have deserved a result

first time in a long time that both teams didnt kick each other off the pitch and surprise surprise some nice football played as a result

Agreed, was at the game and both teams played some good football, Balla had the better of the chances alright, Frank lee's goal was a cracker but he was guilty of missing two sitters after that. I think both teams are so familiar with eachother at this stage there is no need to be kicking eachother off the field which was great to see as it made it a good footballing game, hope we get the same in the Lawson final.

For once its nice to see that the Pike fans on here arent complaing about missing players/understrength team.
Looks like they had a strong team out... As did Balla

Good to hear this also... if this was the way football in Limerick was played, it wouldnt be long before the standard of football improved.

ya balla full value for the win ,godd football played in parts ,i thought ball would struggle without daly and dunphy but you wouldnt even know they were missing,gareth ryan was outstanding while i thought dave o grady was pikes outstanding player

From what I've heard Pike should have been hockied, Frankie Lee missed a boatful of chances apparently? Shows you the Value of Phil Purcell and Keith Hartnett to Pike. Colm Enright was completely exposed too apparently? Which doesn't surprise me as I and a few others have been thinking that Colm has been coming to the end of his footballing days. Hate to say it for the superb service he's given pike,both as player and committee member. A true Pike man.

Well done balla missing a couple of big players nd still had enough well done, some of the comments here are gas a fella's career is over after a defeat in a cup match by all accounts pike didnt wanna be in, join the queue for enright boys pike are getting rid

First one to turn the topic negative as usual. Man say something positive for once..Your constant snipes are getting boring at this stage to be honest.

You turned it negative saying one of the best center halves in town is not good enough any more when any club in town would have colm he's a great player and dont deserve comments like that on here especially from one of his own its a shame really
