" football is a simple game "
i know we all come on and knock the committe at some stage and the fixture secetary in particular. but he does not help his own case shannon olympic last 2-3 home games were all called of on saturdays due to pitch being unplayable due to weather including todays game. so next sunday they are at home in morning to newmarket in the cup and their b teams also at home at 2pm
" football is a simple game "
I don't think he can predict the weather.. Last 2-3 weeks most pitches have been unplayable.. As for next week it's 1st round of the cup and Olympic were drawn at home.. If pitch is unplayable they can move it to opponents pitch
Any report on 2nd half of Avenue game?looked well in control in first half..
@footballfriend. 3-1 it finished. Within about a min of the second half restart we got a penalty which we missed and Tulla scored on their next attack up the field about a minute later. We kept pushing on were having plenty of the play and some decent chances. Equaliser came from an OG. Herlo then scored with about 15 mins to go to put us 2-1 up. We got a third then late on when a Pa wilson strike was deflected in(although it was on target and he ll kill me if i said it wasnt his). Tulla are a very good side,lots of young lads there who try play ball aswell but I thought we fully deserved it and played very well. Ruan away next in the cup for us.
I seen yer game with Lifford aswell, good win for ye. Nice goal that second one
Yea good win.Lifford better then the predictable long ball game they played.
Bad loss for Lifford. Any report?
The main thing to report from this game was how bad the ref was. He was absoultly shocking one of the worst refreeing performances I've seen in a long time.
Lifford started well and it looked ominous for Olympic but then in a 15 minute spell they scored 3 goals and Lifford had a man sent off(which came about after he waved away what should have been a free kick to Lifford high up the pitch, the ball was booted up the pitch to the Olympic striker who was offside and ran clear on goal only to be dragged back by the last defender OUTSIDE THE BOX but the ref gave a penalty). Think they did well in the second half and created some chances and got a deserved penalty(which it took a minute for Julian to decide was a penalty, and was heard saying "On second thought, yeah it's a penalty...despite been a clear penalty) .
In saying all that Olympic deserved there win and Lifford can have no complaints about the result really, just need to be more ruthless in front of goal. All the best to Olympic, hopefully they will get out of that relegation battle.
Infairness lads that ref is only in it for the money he has no interest in football.. Saying that however bad a ref is he didn't score the 3 goals for Olympic.. It was a good win for Olympic but a terrible loss for Lifford
Yeah he didn't score the 3 goals but he didn't help Lifford at all, especially with the sending off which if it didn't happen could easily have seen Lifford coming back as it was a whole half with 11 men to get 2 or 3 goals is alot more do able then 3 or 4 goals with a man down playing against 12 lads basically. ...he also turned up 20/25 minutes later then he should after going to the pitch in Shannon instead.
It is a bad loss for Lifford and all but ends any hopes they had of winning the league IMO. Like I said they need to be more clinical in front of goal and stop conceding soft goals, because the 3 goals Lifford conceded yesterday were soft enough.
God, talk about sour grapes?! I suppose the last defender dragging down the Olympic forward when he's clear through on goal isn't a sending off offence?!! And the Lifford penalty was "deserved" but the penalty for Olympic which resulted from the "professional foul" wasn't deserved?
I don't know what the referee turning up late has to do with your whingeing either? It was because of a mix up between the ref and the league.
Obviously it's not a deserved penalty if the player was offside when the ball was played to him so the incident shouldn't have happend..where did I say it wasn't a red card? i didn't. I said the incident was outside the box, which it was. You should really learn to read.
That it shouldn't have happened, how hard is it to make sure the ref gets to the right place seeing as everyone else knew that it was on in Ennis.
Spur grapes? yeah it was really sour grapes saying that in the end Olympic deserved there win and I hope they survive relegation. It would have been sour grapes to say they were shocking didn't deserve there win and hope they go the rest of the season without a point and go down.
Lads does anyone have a hope of catching Newmarket this year.. They just don't seem to be conceding goals ..
The Olympic penalty was their 3rd goal, by which stage Lifford were all over the shop. The Lifford defending which led to the Olympic penalty was the real problem, 3 defenders all standing in a group together when the ball was played forward, no one in a covering position. The referee was in a pretty good position to make the decision, and while the Lifford defender first grabbed the forward outside the box, he brought him down in the box. Clear penalty.
Claiming the Olympic forward was offside is just clutching at straws.
The Lifford penalty was less of a penalty IMO. I think it was more a case of the referee giving Lifford a consolation in the last minute.

What has what goal it was in the game got to do with anything? It shouldn't have been a penalty and if anything it makes it even more of a disgrace that it was the 3rd gal as it killed the game asd it shouldn't have even been given. Kinda hard for defenders to be covering a player when he's offside...Lifford players were pulling out too. all in a group? if that was the case surely he wouldn't have been the last man and at least one player would have been level with him and if that's the case he shouldn't have been sent off.
Cntact was outside the box and he dived INTO the box. That's not a penalty that's a free kick simple as.
Yeah the liffrod penalty was less of a penalty despite a player clearly getting taken down in the box where as the Olympic penalty was outside the box coming from an offside player. Enjoy your win Mr.Kirby but please stop posting absolute rubbish.
Where to start with all the confusion in this post?!!
It wasn't a penalty, but it was a free, but he was offside anyway?!! Make up your mind...
I'm not sure what you mean about the last man thing, I'm sure it makes sense to you, but the Olympic player was behind the last defender and got around him only to be dragged down in the box. The referee gave a penalty simple as.
So the Lifford penalty was clear, but by your own words it took the referee "a minute" to make up his mind, so obviously he didn't think it was so clear. I don't either.
I'm not Donal.
You're obviously still bitter about such a poor performance, it's understandable.

What is so hard to understand, it WAS offside, but seen as he decided not to give it, the infringement by the lifford player took place outside the box, so therefore should have been a free kick.
The last man thing as you called it is the reason he got sent off...so surely if he was grouped with 3 other defenders he wasn't the last man and as a result it shouldn't have been a sending off but a yellow card? Yeah the ref gave it, doesn't make it a penalty though does it, he's a poor ref now that is as simple as.
Again a poor ref, doesn't make it any less of a penalty...even the player who gave away the penalty laughed about it after the match saying he thought he wasn't going to give it...which clearly shows how it was a clear penalty.
I'm sure you're not alrightlike i said good result for you Donal, but please try and be a bit more unbaised when talking about Olympic matches in the future? for your own sake.
Still don't know where you're getting this bitter business about? I clearly already stated that Olympic at the end of the day deserved there win and i hope they stay up? That's hardly words of a bitter man now in fairness is it? I quite like Olympic and players playing with the club so i'm far from bitter about it. |Dissapointed we lost obviously but that would happen in every game we lose. Fact of the matter is the ref was poor on Sunday which is what i was saying, this wasn't some bash on olympic so i don't know why you tried to make it out as one.
jesus donal and eoin... its more like the laurel and hardy show.. get over it lads its only a game of football.. and no point falling out over it.. lets move on..
lads take a break the both of you cant be right,, at the end of the day olympic got the 3 points , Munchies a bit rich you asking him to be less unbasedWhat is so hard to understand, it WAS offside, but seen as he decided not to give it, the infringement by the lifford player took place outside the box, so therefore should have been a free kick.
