have to agree with this

Wow!! There is a surprise. :-)

are there rules to say numerous yellow cards lead to
some sanctions. Maybe with english prem or the like?
Any comment on the goal difference rule boys?

Easy to see why you are bringing this up, with Avenue about 20 goals ahead of everyone else...Ye would also be lg champions if the goal difference applied.

I dont think goal difference can apply when you have refs who protect teams from getting beaten by too much. One in particular once said to me "ye wont be scoring any more goals I can tell you" before blowing for about 4 imaginary offsides and disallowing goals. I dont think this is a bad thing to be honest but a lg cannot be decided on goals while this goes on.

Yeah - I didnt want to ask as he was DROPPED for the final - sore point - I dont think he has any value in that medal

I think I know the ref in question :-)
ya goal difference couldn't work in amateur
leagues. Hasn't there been a few walk overs in last few seasons
so it would be a moot (?) point.
Are nwmrkt able to field a team tomorrow night
with a few being shift workers. I hope the club are going to discipline
crusher for not being available and having the temerity to go on hols
mid season :-)

Ya the Bridge caused a shock there alright, they were behind twice in the game as well I heard. Something that didn't help the Tage A in their quest for cup glory was Mike Lydon tipping them to win it out on the radio a while back, he jinxed them!

[studsup]

i think whacker has a valid point regarding the clare people lads... i mean its just stupid, basic mistakes that make some of their reports very shabby ie. the report on the Bridge Celtic v Avenue 4-4 game at the weekend...
here's some of it
"...they trailed a pumped up Bridge side 3-0 at half-time" - it was in fact 3-1 at half-time.
"...then by 4-1 with 20 minutes remaining, but from their the Ennis side conjured up a dramatic finale to earn a share of the spoils." - does anyone read over these reports before they go to print? these kind of mistakes are very amateur in all fairness.
"...but from somewhere they summoned up a great second half rally that was kick-started by David McCarthy's goal in the 65th minute." - was this reporter at the game at all?? This goal was scored a minute or two BEFORE half-time not 20 minutes into the 2nd half!

Thought you couldnt sign after Jan when transfer window closed?

[avenueC]

lads ye have little to be worrying about if a few mis-spelt words and non accurate times are the latest whinge here

[papa-j]

you can understand a few mistakes by a reporter..but when the editor misses it week in week out thats just wrong....

why do they even report on soccer when its crap coverage..

they are rarely at the game and ring the managers for reports. I know I struggle to give them accurate times of incidents and goals. A lot of those flakey match reports b*astar*ised from phonecalls with team officials.

Ya but come on this is happening on a regular basis in their soccer coverage, as whacker said you wouldn't mind but this is goin on all the time. it's not like the reports on the soccer are so long that they don't have the time to read over them and get things right first... well actually they mightn't have the time since they have so much GAA pages to check first (e.g. 24 last week and 14 this week compared to the whopping 2 pages of soccer this week and last week)

[papa-j]

fair point but i'm sure you give the same report to clare champion..and i've yet to see them wit any spelling mistakes...in fairness to put a guys name in last week as goat sexton..come on..i suppose it just shows the gulf in class with these reporters..

but his parents Billy and Nanny must be so proud that young goat got a mention in the paper! Its pretty poor form alright, not hard to take the time and get the names right but in their defence the Champion have 2 extra days to gather their info.

In fairness The Champion aren't a whole lot better at all, they don't have more than 2 line match reports, the only times they're longer than that is if a GAA player gets on the scoresheet for one of the soccer teams, it's guaranteed they'll write a paragraph about his gaa career alone in the middle of the soccer report....

what - gaa players playing soccer ??- what next ?- they should stick to their own code and not be using soccer just to keep them pepped up over the winter - i suppose they are all gone from their respective "training teams " now with the hurling season back on track - -
