lads just a quick question does anyone know the exact rules regarding premier players playing for their clubs lower division team? I saw at least 5 premier players in a lower division game last week doesnt this give clubs with 2 teams an advantage(pack the team with premiers and get some wins early in season) over clubs with just the one team.
The rule is that until the player has played 5 premier games he can play at a lower level. Most 1st team players have this done by the mid Sept.
Well any news on how town played yesterday? Michaels must have been excellent to put 7 past Borris
How did all premier division matches go the weekend?
michaels won seven nil against borris. Town beat cashel also wins for cahir and peake
Was at the Town match. Blossom is still manager. Good win for Town. they played well, looked stronger and more organised against a fine Cashel team.Quote:

anybody know of an update on david slatterys injury.im hearing its serious
broken ribs apparently, if that was done on the street he would be arrested, long term ban for that player is what's needed but I doubt that will happen or else if all teams get together and boycott playing Rock Rovers if more of these incidents occurQuote:

Not sure about the injury to their player David Slattery , but if it's ligaments or anything like that he's looking at 4-5 months anyway. Looking forward to town v saints this weekend!!!
Why is John Maguire down to ref the Clonmel Town - St Michaels game on Saturday when he has relatives on the St Michael's management team and has close connections with the club. Surely the league should try to put refs and linesmen in charge that are as neutral as possible to avoid any controversy. I know the other two officials are from Clonmel but at Premier League level in particular ties between the top clubs, the allocation of refs should be done with more thought
I think either way its going to be tough for Town. Refs aren't to kind to Town despite what others on this site think. they don't want Town to win the league again, which they won't now anyway.Quote:

John Maguire will just have to show that he can handle such a big game. However lets hope that we will be talking about a great game and hopefully a Town win, rather than the ref.
its more than a disgrace what happened last sunday, for a junior player to spend 3 days in hospital after being assaulted while he lay on the ground, its beyond reproach,its time for all the clubs to come together and refuse to play rock rovers,they add nothing to the tsdl or should we all say nothing and wait til something far more serious happens,its no longer about football with them,enough is enoughQuote:

Does anyone know who the injured player was?
Surley there is a case for the League to report such actions to the Guards?
Player should get a lifetime ban IMO.
Did the Peake player pass a comment without knowing to the Rock player about his mother who had infact passed away within the last year?
It's hard to say how you would have react if you were in that situation but I am not condoning an assault as bad as that.
No that was just the pathetic excuse conjured up by rock rovers as even they realised the serious nature of the incident,the player in question was steven coppinger,he spent 3 days in hospital after the attack,the referee who was michael freiburg gave the player a straight red but then awarded every free and offside decision to rock as an apology,its a farcical situations,referees are afraid of their lives and players risk serious injury,like i have said enough is enoughQuote:

Yea they all jumped in and broke it up but they were 20 yards from the action so the damage was done,do people not feel like its time to take action?Quote:

cannot understand it myself,typical villa,if it was clonmel or saints they wouldnt stand for it,villa wont even report the incident,too much work involved!!!Quote:

Town and saints was called off due to a bereavement . Rock drew with cashel 1 . I had hoped we would push on after our great result against peake but unfortunately the premier is turning out to be a tough task. The standard between the the first division ant premier is huge.
Went to watch celtic and villa on sat night, Celtic have a very good young side I can see them doing well over the next few years. Again for the 2nd time this season villa looked ordinary and were lucky to hang on for a point in the end They are lacking a good center forward Barry Ryan is a big loss to them they arent finding goals as easy to come by this season. Ted O connor was playing center half something I cant get my head around he is a top top striker. He didnt start against us but came on at half time and done well prob should have scored. Can any Villa fans shed some light on why he is not playing up top??

I was told the game finished 1 0. wasnt at the game myself as i was working friday evening. 1 1 is a good result away to rock its never an easy place to go.Quote:

Yes it was a good game ron I never said it wasnt. My reason for Villa being ordinary is that they are creating very little going forward in the 2 games i saw them. I would still personally regard O Connor as a fine center forward its only 2 years ago he was scoring regurally in the LOI first division surely he couldnt of lost all that over night. What is the story with mick ryan how come he is not playing?Quote:
