it is not boro's fault that pike have players on the O/T.. and Balla do not....Quote:

your missing the point leather. the point isn't that boro will have nothing to play for its that boro will be missing their best players against balla and will be available against pike
i agree. there is no balance. i remember when a player decided not to play OT then he was suspended. were any of the 3 balla players on the original panel suspended due to this?Quote:

If pike win their 2 remaining matches it does not make a difference.
no but if the boro were going for the league would ye play against balla with 2-3 players missing because of the OT? I think not..Quote:

whose to say that the boro will be at full strenght next thursday??? work injuries and suspenions.... i doubt if the boro have fielded their strongest team on more than 4 or 5 occassions this season..because of the above reasons..
how about the boro give both balla and pike walkovers ..... would that be better for you..?

I think we had to play 6-7 of the top teams over and after xmas and we didn't complain..We just got on with it which teams have to do!!!
well said a voice of sense...
its always only the top teams that complain about fixturesQuote:

Summerville, so from a relegation point of view. I'm sure you weren't too happy when star didn't have anyway near a full team against corbally the other morning. Now that was star that fielded that team for various reasons but none of those reasons were caused by the fixture secretary
you cant be relying on other teams either at the top or the bottom simple as.........
Didnt he play away to Aisling???Quote:

I think it's the interest more than anything.
well said,if a team concentrates on winning there own games favours will not come into it.if you ask me most teams in the premier suit themselves and help out nobody,(maybe except for balla and carew afew years ago to deny pike the league):) as summervilleman pointed out earlier people work,go away on hols,etc.i dont know of a team in the premier who havent been severly weakened on occasions thru one reason or another.(aisling,boro,corbally,carew,star and even pike have struggled to get teams out this season.)being honest i dont think anybody goes out with the intention of letting another team win.its complete b*ll.a manager can only play what he has availableQuote:
Originally Posted by summervilleman
what i was trying to say, ignoring people hols, working etc. The norm in the past was if you had 2 players on the ot you had no match. I expect the boro players to be available for the OT, and will therefore miss a match ion the morning for the boro which they would normally have been available for.
It is unusal but as said everybody will get on with the fixtures and see what pans out !!
[QUOTE=abbeyvale;947124]everybody agrees he's a fine player,they probably don't think he's that special of a player to be talking about for weeksQuote:

Pike are league championsQuote:

Runners up in the MFA and Quarter finalists in the FAI
Too many games IMO caught them out
And still perhaps another 8-9 games left half way through May
Tough luck balla
Pike are clear favourites to win the league but im sure Balla won't give up as long as they have a chance to catch them,the MJC final defeat could spur them on,but then again it could shatter their confidence,I tipped them a while back to win the league,and personnaly hope they do(no offence Pike fans)they could also win 2 cups,so all is not lost,they could end up with 3 trophys,which would be a great achievement,intersting to see how they preform sunday against Janesboro
whinging???Quote:

heard that half the boro team are off to cardiff t-morrow, organised by the players. a.barry on hols , ado injured, a carroll playing o/t... c,mon the B-team.
I hope your taking the ****, but if thats true then fair enough. Missing players for that is all part of it, but I'll try and make my point AGAIN to some of you. Its alot harder to take when a team is short players because of the OSCAR TRAYNOR team
Lads all football off tonight and the weekend except the oscar traynor game as a mark of respectQuote:

makes sense to have them off, with the munster match on aswell
Think Mike O' Regan has been doing it for the last while and will be doing it from now onQuote:

No disrespect meant and too repeat what Mr P.Cusack (r.i.p) used to say to me about matches being cancelled because of a bereavement.." if they are above the ground, the match is off, if they are in the ground, the fixture goes ahead". might sound a bit cold but it was a fair comment...Quote:

I could give you a list the length of the pike field about percieved bias asainist my club by council that even you would be shocked at ...I imagine all clubs feel the same way but you dont have them bitch'in and moaning about everything...
