Here's to more healthy discussion during 2011!!
I would certainly agree that Everton(at times) can play attractive football, however they will simply never lose the tag of long ball merchaints. Lets be honest, every team in the league is guilty of this and its simply a part of the game. I believe Everton will be very strong in the remainder of the season and cannot see why they couldnt challange for the League this year.
Welcome to the forum Nedge. Everton have never played attractive football in their lives they are Rockmounts evil twin, a clone.They won't challange for the league as their management team wont vary their play as the long ball is all they know and to be fair their quiet good at it.But when they come up against teams who are as phyisical they dont have a plan B.Example losing points to Tramore and Midleton.Quote:

We went to Midleton last night for a friendly, very enjoyable game and good test against a Prem club. We won 2-1, but result didn't matter as such, both sides knocked it about well on a good surface.
Any other clubs getting bored of not playing/training? We're trying to sort another match for the weekend as well.
Good div 1 article on the Echo last night, ran through all the teams results/form so far. Quotes from all the contenders, never came to the country bumpkins from North Cork for a quote so that's us finishing 6th I assume. Suppose we don't have the fancy phone systems down here that they have in the big city eh.....:rolleyes:
only all paper talk clifford.ye should try some smoke signals.it worked for the indians ha ha :)Quote:

Yeah, I'm only joshing about the article. Great to see a couple of pages on the division. Might get a few more out watching games and the like.
Delighted indeed Goggs with the win, keeps a good momentum going.
What's the change did you change your formation or what very few teams win in Knockgriffin.
tell us your new formation and tactics clifford.could help some teams :)Quote:

As ringmahon says I'll hardly put it up here if we did change anything, but nope same old boring set up. Just the lads getting accustomed to it we feel.
i reckon mayfield could upset blarney friday night. blarney always rusty after a few weeks off so wouldn't be suprised with a mayfield win!!
Fermoy vs Ringmahon on Sunday morning. Should be a belter, all well rested over Chrimbo and rearing to go.
Good luck all involved!
should be a good game all right.finally get to play.i just hope a certain person doesnt have a big influence on the game and ruin itQuote:

Fermoy 0-3 Ringmahon
Hats off to Ringmahon on a soild display. Got an og scored for them on 40 mins after Fermoy had best of the first half without testing the keeper. Second straight away from a not well cleared corner killed it for us.
Third on the break in the sec half sealed it for them. Well done lads, we'll see yee again. Good clean game between to honest and hardworking sides. Didn't happen for us today, had 3/4 great chances even at 3 down and it just wouldn't fall right. Onwards and upwards.
lads quick one for ye. if a player signs junior and gets a call to go up LOI is he allowed move? replies will be gratefully cause need a keeper for the weekend and he will play but is worried about his LOI status. also he hasnt played with or signed with any1 else this season, ie July 10 to now
Rockmount v Douglas Hall Rockmount Park on Thursday. Should be a great game.
Are you gonna start up the predictions league at some stage Razor?
Thursday nights result will tell alot in which way the title is going. If Rockmount win it gives Everton, Avondale and Rockmount a chance to get back into it but if Douglas get all 3 points you could see it going to the Southside. Avondale, Everton and others have to win with this fixture taking place. I predict 0-0.Quote:

I went to it Rockmount bullied Douglas off the pitch.Douglas had a man sent off after 20 mins. 0-0 at half time then 5 min into the second half Rockmount had a man sent off.This seem to galvanise Rockmount and they went for it without creating any real chances but looked dangerous from set pieces. Then with 15 mins to go rockmount got a pen and monty scored but ran to the Douglas bench to celebrate and the ref gave him a second yellow for this and sent him off.With that Douglas brought on Kevin Mull and he received his marching orders 5 min later after kicking out at Howey.He went to the bench and a bit of a ruckas started between Kevin Mull and someone on the Douglas bench. Rockmount defended well and deep into injury time another Hall player was sent to the line.Hats off to Rockmount they didnt let Hall breathe and stifled there style of play.Douglas had no answer for this and got frustrated hense the red cards.And once again questions will be asked about Douglases discipline and bottle.This will open the league right up and who ever has Douglas next are in with a right shout due to the coming suspensions.I have written Rockmount off this season I thought they were finished just shows how much I Know,this performance was back too their good old days with a brilliant defensive performance if they can continue this their could be life in the old dog yet.
Dont forget billy cronin and Kelvin Flanagan sent off too!Quote:

I believe both teams should be givenstrong disiplinary action to prevent such behaviour happening again. On a more positive note, finally got my hands on a copy of "Back of the Net" and have only good things to say about the magazine. Keep up the good work
A very nasty game. Douglas Hall played football, Rockmount kicked lumps out of them. Monty and Hoey are an absolute disgrace. Taunting the Hall bench and players at every opportunity. Not nice to see. Great to see Monty get sent off for sprinting to the hall bench after he scored with the Rockmount badge in his mouth. Quite embarassing to say the least for him. Douglas were more of a threat but Rockmount being rockmount got what they wanted, getting a peno and shutting up shop. they were keeping the ball in the corner with 8 mins to go to slow down time and booting the ball away into the surrounding fields at any opportunity. Feel sorry for Douglas but it gives the Dale an opportunity to get back into the running for the league.Quote:

I still think the hall will win the league but at least it might be interesting now. I believe if you play ball against douglas you will lose. If you get in their face and make it difficult for them to play ball then you have a decent chance of getting something. Well done Rockmount. Ya i said it! Well done.
Hey Razor a prediction league is a great shout from Avondale nutter would be good for banter.
was at the game last night.if thats suppossed to be an example of football from the two best teams in the league we have a long way to go..Absolute disgarce it was.players and mentors from both teams have alot to answer for..If the league dont act on this we might as well all give up
hoeys reputation follows him everywhere..callin douglas hall manager all sorts walkin off the pitch at half time..up to his usual tricks during the game aswell.dunno how he gets away with it.Quote:

The Munster Senior League seem to be scared of some clubs. If these were two smaller clubs in the 1st Division there would be bans and fines. They must act and get the respect they are looking for. I love to see a hard game with passion, tackles and the odd yellow card but this is a disgrace what happened. Some managment teams here just concentrate on harrassing referrees during a game trying to intimidate them and the officials who do the line have to hear all sorts of abuse. MSL stand up to this and stand up to it NOW.
well if neil lennon got 6 games for wat he did billy cronin should get double for wat he said to ref.you woulndt speak to a dog that way.shocked.even when ref sent him off he was still at itQuote:

kevin Mulcahy got a red card for what every other player in the league wanted to do
He played well and conducted himself very well just got on with his game he was a shining example in what was a deplorable game for all the wrong reasons he is a true gent of the game.Quote:

Reznik i cannot believe that you could stand up for Rockmount' s behaviour. I was at the match and can honestly say that it was an absolutly disgraceful. There happened to be alot of children watching and this example cannot be a good one for these kids. These kids cannot be allowed to believe that this behaviour is acceptable. Sparky is right, the MSL needs to act now and not allow these clubs off the hook easily AGAIN.
was at the rockmount game and i have to say it was a disgrace to see 2 of irelands top intermediate teams carrying on like this. what kind of behaviour is this out of billy cronin and hoey.billy should know alot better than this after all his time in the msl his ranting and roaring in front of a good crowd was deplorable. wish i could say the same of hoey but i'm not suprised maybe he should of tried to turn over a new page for 2011 after his carry on last year but as SPARKY said above some clubs and players are above the law. on the league front its a good result for all in the chase rockmount did what they needed to do well done to them result wise
There's been plenty of disgusting tactics by players down through the years but nobody compares to the way Hoey carry's on. A great player but is one of the nastiest folk i've ever witnessed on the pitch. Has to be involved in every altercation. MSL would hammer every other player but somehow he manages to always escape bans.I was tempted myself to do what Kev Mulcahy did.
