Tipp South & District League 2011/12

**balls** · 23/08/2011, 2:56 PM

kneebandage the over 33s is a great idea and is very successful up in cork too its a great way of keeping older lads involved with the club after they finish up playing junior football. would be great if the tsdl brought it in for a trial period as a 5th division for example or maybe play it during summer. prob best starting it small with five or 6 teams and then if its a success watch it expand with more teams.
another idea of getting it started could be to play maybe a 7 a side league on thurs or friday nights on astro during the winter. alot of the clubs with there own astro turf pitches within the tsdl could host home fixtures eg saints,town,borris,celtic,peake,galbally,cahir all have astro pitches within there facilities. other clubs interested could rent an astro pitch in say cahir ,tipp, clonmel for example which ever is closest to club and play out of there. would be great for the older lads to still play competitive football and im sure would be great crack for all involved too

Massive game in Cooke Park tomorrow night,very early days of course but this will be a very stern examination of Celtics title credentials,a win or even a point and they would be very much on track,will be a fascinating contest

I was also at that game and the technical area was very small and john was walking up and down the line acting the micky.

It's great for once to see everyone of the one opinion on a matter and i guess that just goes to show the carry on of the guy in question is not just a one club vendetta,he is just not up to the job and then his personality just makes things 10 times worse,as i said yesterday he is going to be at the centre of a very serious incident soon and maybe it is time we all made an attempt to act,im not sure how though?

Ya it a tough one to act on but surely there is some way of doing it because god forbid he gets a very big game.He has the potential of causing some serious trouble.

If a club feels they should report a ref all they need to do is write to the TSDL outlining their concern and while one complaint may not be acted upon I would think numerous complaints should get a reaction. This I believe is the only avenue open to clubs. Remember if you put it in writing and down the road something else occurs involving the same official your case would be stronger.

yeah thats what i thought maybe start with 5 or 6 teams,which i think they could easily get and see how it goes,the waterford league has expanded again this year with 4 new teams involved the thing is when people think over 33s they think ''the auld lads''but there are plenty of over 33s playing for the top premier teams in waterford and tipp,but others for various reasons work,injury,family,etc cant committ to that level and have no interest running after fellas half their age in Div 1,2,3,4 but still want to play ball this is why i think they should give it a try in the TSDL.

The next time I see him I'll tell him and I'm sure he'll take your comments on board

. Actually your anti Celtic rants are becoming very tedious and only serve to portray you as a very sad individual. Just concentrate on your own club whoever that is.

How can you comment on the Town pitch when you weren't even there. 'Scathing public comments' you're some man for the drama. Some very sensitive people on this board. Chillax
