And sure of course abbey don’t moan at all
Not defending Abbey at all. All clubs moan, it's only natural..glin on the other hand play on the edge and sometimes beyond it and unless u have strong ref they get away with it..glin are not good ball players so have no choice but to try bully teams I guess.. I seen a few Abbey glin games over last few years and Abbey normally stand up to it.. I remember one game in particular where the present Abbey manager was involved with them but did not let his team be bullied on that day..
Saw an interesting booklet in Newcastle library today, Adare FC - The early years- 1936-1948. Didn't hear about it at the time but it was put together by Billy O'Shaughnessy and published in 2016. 50 odd pages for €5. Anyone know if it's still on sale anywhere in Adare?
Aside from the mad statements, there should be great concern over the number of officals in the league. I really think the referee count is going one way and that demand will exceed supply not before long.
On the field, I can only see a two horse race in both Premier and Div 1. Abbey will best Rathkeale in prem, with NCW a distant third. In Div 1, NCW won this division last year and will do the same this year as a new club. They will be joined by Rathkeale. I'd say promotion will fall to Breska or Shannonside (as 3rd and 4th could go up) and SURELY Feenagh will finally go down, along with Shountrade after their embarrassing social media during the summer.
Big wins this morn for ncw Abbey and broadford.. massive slip up for ratkeale.. anyone at the games for reports.. I seen Newcastle carrig game.. 3 up before carrig equalized through 3 fast goals.. Sean mcsweeney had great game for carrig but ncw deserving winners
Wasn't at a game but i heard Rathkeale pulled a point out of the bag with 2 very late goals. Farce the U17 cup, only 1 game of 4 played, 3 walkovers. GAA clash?
Aunty Lenas pub in Adare have copies I think
Broadford tipping along nicely... i've heard they've a lot of training done ? Away to Newmarket Celtic on Sunday should really see how there going...
Just seen this post now... made me laugh !!! Broadford had 70% posession
That quote was replying to the day Broadford played KB & that KB were unlucky
Which post made u laugh, u never quoted it?Quote:

Broadford going well locally is right but imo will not win on Sunday against newmarket
Most def up against it !!! Newmarket in semis of FAI & Munster last year with junior internationals on showQuote:

Good point, even though everyone (myself included) had tipped Mick's against Abbeyfeale they still went out and asked questions of them, put it up to them and got the win. I might add on a personal aside, I still view that as one of the best, if not the best, games of junior football I've ever seen.
Broadford are still a great footballing team, definitely not ones to disgrace themselves anyway. They'll go into that game knowing there's little expected of them against a side with two boys not long off the plane from Romania but that's probably the best way to be.
You're as well off to be knocked out tomorrow as you are the Last 128 as people only really start getting interested at the last 64.
Best of luck to them.
Broadford hammered 6 nil against Newmarket.
Carrig 4-3 Breska
St Brendan Park 9-0 Shauntrade
Ak Utd lost 7-3
Ballysteen 3-4 Ennis Town
Very poor reflection on the standard of football in the Desmond league.Quote:

Why has the standard dropped, no excuses now considering the facilities most clubs have in the DesmondQuote:
