If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT

[QUOTE=Side Cutter;898124]i have no connections with club
just an intrested spectator now and again usually for fai matches
" football is a simple game "
how are the grounds around the county for cup tomor??
As far as i know the only game called off so far is Newtown and Kildysert back in Cahercon.
Bunrattys pitch should be ok for our game and Id say Rineanna will be out with hairdryers all night to make sure they dont lose home advantage. Id fancy them at home so hopefully it goes ahead.
newtown B/Corofin B game is off
That pitch has never seen excellent condition !!no hairdryers needed..pitch is in excellent condition.perfect for free flowing football
that depens on who its excellent for...
Excellent for big long balls up to big hughie against a shaky defence!!! come on rovers
At least they called them off now instead of having lads getting up in the morning!!!!

corofin harps A through to cup qtr finals after penalty shootout win over kilrush. feisty game with alot of yellows two reds one player from each side and kilrush manager sent from field. Martin O Brien very card happy today and sending offs were for handbags stuff, harsh in my opinion
i had the misfortune to see the corofin v kilrush game today,very poor overall.pitch did not help things,lack of discipline on both sides also.corofin can forget bout another cup this year,as soon as they meet the avenues or newmarkets of this world it will be all over for them...i understand that these two play in the first div and are going for promotion by all accounts........god help us all!!!!!!
I wouldn't make a judgement based on one game. This isn't the first cup game over the last couple of years we had to slog it out to get a victory. I know yesterdays game was very poor but a win is a win.i had the misfortune to see the corofin v kilrush game today,very poor overall.pitch did not help things,lack of discipline on both sides also.corofin can forget bout another cup this year,as soon as they meet the avenues or newmarkets of this world it will be all over for them...i understand that these two play in the first div and are going for promotion by all accounts........god help us all!!!!!!

Agreed. Give the lower divisions a break. I didnt see the game but both teams gave it a go in very difficult conditions when most premier teams didnt play at all. There are plenty of good games in the first division. Ive seen plenty of terrible ones in the premier too so dont judge a whole division based on one game in poor conditions.
Have to agree with you as well mlf. I've seen enough scrappy Premier games also this year to back you up on that one. I don't think its just the conditions however as the standard overall seems to be going backwards from a few years ago or maybe its just age, (mine).
When are the evening games back on? Is it next week or the week after. How are teams fixed for players working away and students at college and who will be most affected?
I think that it will be early April. it's a good point about midweek fixtures because it is unlikely that any team will have their strongest squad available for mid week games.
It could give some teams the edge in the fight for honours / relegation if they come across a team hampered by players working or in college.
Playing 3 games a week is a possibility in April and squad size / rotation could be a big factor.
Avenue / Lifford and Newmarket seem to have big squads but below them it's the strength of the squad that may keep teams up or send them down.
time for summer soccer... well ye know what i mean!
Mid-Week games are due to start in the 1st week of April according to a reliable source.
Most teams will be affected by work/College commitments, not to mention having to try and play 2 or maybe 3 games in a week, injuries, tired limbs etc but these wont come into play if teams are winning and fighting for honours they only seem to affect you when you are struggling to stay up.
Does anyone think theres some shocks in store for the weekend? Should be some good games either way. Who do people fancy in the next round. I wouldnt mind Corofin.
