If you continue to make cretinous comments then its my prerogative to reply. Why don't you take off your Anybody but Pike Blinkers?? Same applies both ways in fairness. Connie hasn't mentioned a single word to the committee about leaving,pretty much the opposite in fact. And I'd be fairly sure there would be more that just Aidan Ryan Applying for the Pike post..Quote:

If Pike do win the league on Sunday, then I just hope for all concerned that Balla really do the right thing when they play Corbally and Summerville in their few remaining games.
This just confirms my early points about fixture dates having a massive say in both ends of the table.
Summerville Rovers 21 / 20 (Max Pts 23)
Carew Park......... 21 / 20 (Max Pts 23)
Corbally United.... 21 / 19 (Max Pts 22)

Remaining Games
Aisling(1)- Balla,
Balla(4)- AISLING,CORBALLY,Fairview,Summerville
Carew Pk(1)- GRANVILLE,
Corbally(1)- Balla
Fairview(1)- Granville
Granville(2)- FAIRVIEW,Carew,
Pike Rvs(1)- WEMBLEY
Summerville(1)-BALLA,
Wembley(1)-Pike,
Ok lads, I have a very possible scenario for the bottom of the league.
Fairview beat Granville next Thursday night and Granville go on and beat Carew in both teams last games (givining both teams 20pts).
Summerville lose their last remaining fixture v Balla (leaving Summerville on 20pts)
Corbally draw their last remaining fixture v Balla (giving Corbally 20pts)
That would leave Granville, Carew, Corbally & Summerville all on 20pts!!!!!! What would happen then?
I know theres a lot of IF'S and BUTS, but it could easily happen...........................
its sad to say - but this is spot on..Quote:

but at the bottom is where the LDMC is really taking the p*ss.. you have four teams in trouble for the last relegation spot [carew,granville,summerville,corbally].. so in the interest of fairness, each of these teams should definitely play their last game on the same day at the same time.. yet, those clowns down there have left summerville and corbally with 1 fixture left - both against balla.. this is disgraceful.. they really are the epitomy of stupidity down there..
you mean in the same way as Aisling did themselves proud tonight losing 5 nil to a team they probably hockeyed earlier in the season???Quote:

This is just an example and I'm sure there are more ways to ensure teams play their full strenght teams for ALL their league games, to ensure fair play to ALL teams in the league.
I know the fixture set up is a farce as well, but that seems to be ongoing for years now, so knowing the LDMC, they'll hardly change now!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
Any other ideas that would help the ****e situation that we are in??

one suggestion is all four play each other in one week league thing
Sunday . 1 v 2 and 3 v 4
Wednesday 1 v 3 and 2 v 4
Saturday 1 v 4 and 2 v 3
The team with least points is relegated and if still draw at bottom then goal difference decide it
only a suggestion
Not a bad idea!!!!!Quote:

Well done Aishling I hope ye've no luck next season for that. A total disgrace. Ye really let ye're selves down tonight.
Its hard on them from about January on because the out of town stages seriously kick in for about 3/4 teams. And since there priority games they're ranked ahead of anything local. That means 6 teams won't play a local game on a given weekend,meaning its got to be rescheduled for later on that season(Look at Balla's run in the MJC). Add this to Paddy Cusack being ill for a series of months this year and you can sort of see where the backlog is coming from. Can't blame any club for the happenings really. They mostly play when and where told.Quote:

Easy tiger..Anyone at this game would see it was a freak result..Granville scored against the run of play with 10 minutes left in the half..Cusack missed a few 1 on 1s to level and even to bring AA back into the game at 2 nil when again caught on the break after HT.Granville scored 3 in the last 7 or 8 minutes when AA were pressing for a goal...AA had roughly 13 missing but still put out 6 of their usual 11 in Dalton ,Keehan, Meskell, Hurley, Smalle and Cusack.Quote:

Think that would be fair and all this could be over in 2 days...play both semis on a monday night and relegation final on the wednesday night!!!I think this would be the only really fair option??
Well done to the lads tonight....tWe really did deserve the win..Regional had the brighter start and were playing well but we got stuck in and won the game coming from a goal down...Could have been more for us but regional were very dangerous on the break!!!
As said previous...Squeaky bum time...At least its enjoyable football at the bottom having something to play for!!!:D

anyone know the line ups for the Premier teams last night?
Wondering who is still showing up
in my opinion you have to give granville alot of credit for lastnites win.you can only beat whats in front of you but by the sounds of it it wasnt much lastnite.it beggers belief to me how aisling can get to munster junior semi finals and push top teams one week then get beaten 5 nil by a team like granville the following week.They obviously have no regard at all for the league and fair play.i was at corbally and star afew weeks back and star who i may add were all ready relegated put up a great fight and were unlucky not to get a point from the game ,yet you had some lads on saying star are a disgrace for playing pat boland and were a shame to the league.if star are a disgace id like to know what bracket people put aisling into.in my eyes thats what you call a disgace.No offence to granville,they got there win and fair play to them but dont tell me they are 5goals better than aisling.so much for cusack and cummins being the best strikers in the league.in my eyes looking at remaining fixtures id say corbally are favourites to go down.a bad way alright though for the league to finish with both teams at bottom to play balla.Id be very interested to hear whitestripes version of aislings shocking display lastnight
I will give you a reason for recent results not that I think you deserve one but just to claify things in case there are more of your kind out there making excuses for their own league position.
We have been down to the bare bones due to alot of injuries, players working and players on holidays. This is something totally outside the control of the club the management or the players involved. If these players were fit and available Aisling would field their strongest team every time.
I am sure there are many clubs finding themselves in this position due to the long season.
I take offence to you calling the Club a disgrace? I think your time would be better spent reflecting on your own "shocking" performances during the season.
“How’d do ya like them apples”
Point taken whitestripe,They are valid reasons.i accept that i went overboard calling aisling a disgrace.i apologize,but in saying that though aisling do have a habit of being able to turn on the style one week e.g beating boro 6-1 ,corbally 5-1 and the likes of carrick and st michaels and then not bothering.this is my opinion and i think im entitled to that.i just feel that aisling havent bothered in many games they have played since the munster junior defeat.
Regarding my own predicament,may i add that im not affiliated to any team in the premier league directly.I go to alot of different games around town from time to time and would be more of a neutral supporter of the league.i just like to see fair play in games whether it be aisling,corbally,pike or balla,carew, and in my opinion there hasnt been alot of that in recent weeks the way results are going.understandebly this may be out of a teams hands as players work and go on holidays.Maybe the council have alot to answer for regarding the way results are going.
I went to the Granville game last night.
Aisling played all the football but were very poor at the back.
In fairness Aisling were more than competitive in this game.
It really could have gone either way for 80 minutes. The striker
missed 2/3 excellent chances that would have brought aisling back
into the game. Granville just hoofed the ball forward at every given opportunity. They got 3 late goals all from long balls. In fact 4 of the
5 goals were from long balls. Aisling keeper very poor and 4 or 5 players
were not up to standard in my opinion No subs of note. Who was actually missing white stripe?
Robbie Broe had a great game when the granville midfield tried to ref the game for him he got straight on top of them.
The only people responsible for the farce end to the league are the junta below in jackman park..it is not just in the premier league that this crap has been happening...
why can we not get a fixture list for the first half of the season and then just reverse it.
if season starts on the 2nd last afternoon in aug, clubs could have played 6 league matches and maybe 2 cup matches(lawson & touhy) by the last sunday in sept. It could go as follows
Aug 23rd League
Aug 27th Touhy/Lawson
Aug 30th League
Sept 6th League
Sept 10th Touhy/Lawson
Sept 13th League
Sept 20th Fai 1 st round
Sept 27th league
end of sept nearly a 3rd of the league completed, one round of the fai & one round of both the lawson & Touhy done... also pitches would be a lot better thus improving the standard....
Aisling are a total and utter disgrace! How could they possibly lose 5-0 to a team like Granville? It shows, like many have said, that the league is a shambles! Aisling should receive some punishment for this result as it has a great bearing on who goes down. Maybe they should be deducted points or even relegated, after all they got hammered by a team 2nd from bottom. How can Sully get away with this???Quote:

Is it not also true that Granville are a disgrace?
They will now be competitive for 80% of their games
and give the teams going for the league a handy 6 points!
And then earmark games that they think they may be able to a result in?
Also did Derby nearly beat Man U in Pride Park but for Ben Foster and Ronalso?
Yet they get hammered week in week out...?
Also what about Boro and Regional?
Surely they are in the same boat? Summerville beating regional?
And balla hammering boro?
Fairview claiming 4 minors in their team earlier in the season?
Lets be honest the ldmc are the root of all problems.
As far as i can remember teams that are winning things know what they
have to do etc plus teams that often get promoted often play 7 or 8 games in a row when other teams have noting to play for???
imagine how summerville and corbally must be feeling after that performance from AA last night. Granville couldn't beat snow off a rope all season then they comeup against those clowns with "nothing" to play forQuote:

I think you will find that the players on the pitch last night played to win the game, no "favours" given.Quote:

Its ok for Man U and Liverpool to lose to West Ham (in Old trafford) and Fulham respectively? As Benitez and Fergie said look after your own house and channel your attention on your own teams rathar than websites or other teams.
Im in shock.
If you ask me the teams like Corbally, Granville, Summerville, Carew and Star are a disgrace for being so poor for the most part of the season and when 'squakey bum time' comes around decide to become competitive when the rest of the proper teams have had 10 month seasons and just want holidays. Cop yereselves on!
So lets recapQuote:

Fair point whitestripe,as alot of the posts are suggesting the root of the problem seems to be lying with the ldmc.i think that the leagur should be given priority to finish by the end of april.This is more than feasable if what leather mentioned about early season was implemented.year in year out this year more than any the fixture lists have turned the league into a shambles.i think local cups should not be played until the league is out of the way e.g end of april and play the local cups in may and june.either way something has to be done.Quote:
