even they i magine have trouble motivating themselves for the fixture and probably consider themselves lucky to have 1 offical

There is 3 points on offer. Motivation will not be a problem.
If these two teams cant get motivated with so much at stake. What motivates ye to play.
will ya get over this three official crack i am from iorras and i wish i never saw three officals coming to our games,all it does is cost us a fortune for each game and half the time the linesmen sent down are not up to it,ref would do better on his own,sure kilmore are not too bothered about three officals this weekend will save them a nice few bob,
I think Snugboro V Ballina Off due to bereavement
Of The other games Its a tough one to call in Foxford,S&F have shown some for lately with there win over the boro lads,Im goin to go for draw there.Celtic will find it hard in Erris,but with there battling qualaties I can see them gettin a draw.Manulla should win,ballyheane have been in freefall in the last few games,saying that It would not surprise me to see a bally heane win,definitely not a draw.Personally Fahy have too much for kilmore,they will outbattle them and come away with 3 points
I definitely wouldnt like to call the Manulla Ballyheane game as they hate the sight of each other so form is never a indicator as to the victor of this game.
What is this bull**** with deleting posts which are aimed at stopping people insulting clubs or individuals? It's not even coming up as 'post deleted by moderator' any more, they just disappear. Getting sick of it.
im pretty sure that last message will disapear soon,but at least fahy have 3 officials at the weekend
The posts are binned (rubbish forum) if they contain quotes from "offending" posts,there is no facility to leave a trace of it whereas
if a post is deleted there is.
Hope this helps.
Kilmore 0 Fahy 2.
Very scrappy game played in difficult conditions in Kilmore this evening. Big three points for Fahy, eight points clear of S+F now and should hopefully be safe barring a disaster. Richie Needham scored with a great finish towards the end of the first half, but only after Kilmore spurned a few good chances. I have good respect for Kilmore and their (sole?) representative on foot.ie, but I have to say they were quite volatile at times, persistently fouling, having two men sent off, and, I'm sorry to say, aiming punches on two occasions. The ref did neither team any favours when he eventually turned up, and Kilmore may feel hard done by with one of the sending offs. Hard to ref a match in those conditions I guess. Seems to me that Kilmore's main problem is lack of bite up front, they created a few great chances but don't seem to have a finisher. Only other result I heard was Westport beat S+F 5-1 or so. Anyone get the others?
Iorras Aontaithe 4 v Castlebar Celtic 0

Manulla 2 v Ballyheane 1
Snugboro United P v Ballina Town P
Straide & Foxford 1 v Westport United 5
I wasn't at the game so can't really comment. From what I've heard it was a messy affair with lots of cards which means more lovely finesIt's not hard to see that we're lacking up front. We've had some great games this season and suprised a few but our lack of finishing is why we are where we are. Was gutted to hear about the volatile situations. That's not the kind of team we are. There's been some great games when we've met in the past. Give us a shout when the season is over and we'll organise a friendly followed by a good session to show our mutual respect
i'd have to agree with those sentimrnts.wasn't at the game myself either but i'm very surprised to hear about the volatile situations also.its not like fahy and kilmore to have any dirty games with each other and as far as i can remember there was never any player sent off from either side in the numerous games that have been played between the sides down through the years.theres always been a healthy respest between both teams and sorry to hear that but i think that we should take yee up on yee're offer and go for a (good) few beers!I wasn't at the game so can't really comment.

S/F 1 Westport 5, a good victory for Westport considering the weather conditions, mind you the game was close enough for a while.
I would not get too excited about the result though, many were on about the good football that we played but it is easy to play good football against a weaker team as S/F have lost players before the start of the season.
The standard in the SL is rubbish, and this has put Westport in the comfort zone there are not enough proper tough games in the league, all SL teams have been weakened by players going to Celtic to play in the A league, Westport are a team sleepwalking through the season. Its too easy. Standards are slipping.
The big test will be on sunday against Ballina
Dont always say what you know, but always know what you say.
what do you mean by all super league teams??? name me a player from every team so that has joined celtic to make the super league worse?? alan mc is the only one i can think of!! everyone else was either playin in the eircom league or an ex celtic player who just came back!!
i can't see how you think westport are sleepwalking the league, were you not at the game against snugboro???
Reporter to Gordon Strachan: gordon, what's your impression of jermaine pennant? Reply: I don't do impressions!!
Yeah, there were lots of yellow cards too, so both clubs have to shell out. Agree with you in terms of games between us in the past, I think it was more frustration than anything on your part. The penalty was dubious and the resuting sending off harsh I thought. People are talking about the standard of football in the Super League but it's top class compared with the standard of refereeing! Best of luck for the rest of the season.I wasn't at the game so can't really comment. From what I've heard it was a messy affair with lots of cards which means more lovely fines

Everyone's afraid to speak out against the refs as there are so few and people don't want them disliking their clubs because of it but surely there should be some kind of inspections. Some are very fair but they're few on the ground and as someone previously said they are biased towards certain clubs. Some don't even try to hide that fact.Yeah, there were lots of yellow cards too, so both clubs have to shell out.

I agree that the level has dropped in the SL i mentioned this earlier in the blog. Westport are strolling it without a sweat. i saw the game against S&F n ye struggled for 50mins..or Should i say S&F matched westport..even though we lost players at the start of the season and also missing a few 1st team players that are injured and banned for this game it may have been a different story.
There was good football played at times but no decent chances and ye started shooting from way out and luckily for ye the keeper palmed the ball into the path of the striker for a tap in, the game completely changed after that. but up til then it was a good close game even with the brutal weather conditions.
Ye play ballina on sunday and S&F played them off the park in the semi final until the ref made a balls of that game with red cards and some brutal decisions. Ballina are a decent side but it just shows any team in the SL that has a bit of Quality can beat anyother team in the SL...even westport but probably because they r not playin at 100% as i agree they seem fed up with the SL... they need t move up like Celtic for a new challenge. and best of luck. We'd be glad t see the back of ye..ha well at least we'd have a better chance of gettin more points during the season.
It is a good point Paddy, however I would treat the A league with caution for the moment.
With the times that we are in, and with the costs involved in fielding the teams (the costs of entry in the league transport costs etc) many of these former Junior clubs (i.e. the Tralee Dynamoes, Castlebar Celtic etc) will struggle under the financial pressures of being involved or get fed up with not being promoted in these leagues and pull out.
The whole A league in my opinion at the moment, is a fad for Junior clubs, which will wear off, and will eventually turn into a league of ireland reserve league as the smaller clubs pull out one by one.
