You would expect these 2 premier sides to be able to string good passing moves together but with the surface that was impossible.
If summer soccer means having to play on bumpy pitches like that its time to forget it.

I agree, the pitches are imposible to play on without proper watering and I dont think many clubs have that option. As you say entertaining game and despite the pitch there was plenty of goal mouth incident. Both sides struggled while playing into the sun, impossible to see the ball in the air. The effort from both sides couldn't be faulted, both sides went all out for the win. In my unbiased opinion newtown deserved the win, with more posession/more goal chances and the Newtown equaliser by that young lad must have been goal of the season

Wrong conclusion.This is a red herring.The reason the pitch is bad is because of winter soccer.The winter we have just played through.I also have great doubts about the knowledge ,qualifications and ability of the manager of Lees Road.

NB Do not get sidetracked from what appears to be the majority aim of playing in the summer.

forget about him, what about Frankie "centre circle, eagle eyed" Coote....gave a peno for avenue from 40yards away that even they laughed about. But in fairness he really let the game flow, I thought he was pretty good. We need Moher and Bridge Celtic to drop about 4 points each while winning all our games. You never know but Celtic are in a great position.
Huge game for both Moher and Olympic tonight. Can Olympic get a result?

Noone said he was a ref.What was said was he reffed a match.

Hopes are high that at least a wound can be inflicted on these giants so that the job can be completed by another formerly feared group of men from Tradaree. This is ever looking less and less likely because the stories abound of sorcery and witchcraft been part of the armoury of the men who worship the cliffs.They have taken over the minds , it is said of the leaders and organisers of said battles and have managed to engage all comers at times when they are at their weakest. This they say is only happening because of these giants worship of another God known far and wide in the country of Hibernia as the GAA. Let us hope that these barve 11 from Olympia do not become the latest sacrifices to the Gods that live , it is said at the bottom of the cliffs and only rise as the sun rises on the day of the Moon and again on the twilight of the week.

**plasticpitch** · 27/04/2007, 4:36 PM

looking like it will go to the last day of the season again this year... anything can happen.....seems as though all this 'preferential' treatment of moher could have them in pole position come the final day...
im cheering on the Bridge Celtic lads. they have been very consistent since been promoted and they have good organisation in the club. Their manager has them well set up.

**chappie** · 27/04/2007, 7:46 PM

hopefully they will leave the bridge celtic v moher game til the last day of the season...it should make for a right good finish to the season....

**2legged tackle** · 27/04/2007, 8:49 PM

Moher 2 - 2 Olympic.
Moher equalise in 98th minute.

**avenueC** · 27/04/2007, 9:31 PM

was like a cup tie to be honest
pitch a disgrace, both teams just going flat out for a win. newtown looked to be crusing at 2-0 up after an hour then avenue stormed 3 goals in 15 mins to look like goin top of the table but credit to newtown just kept attacking.. jay stretton got the equaliser by the way a header from 3 yds from a corner an the 4th goal was a mistake by centre back ball caught unuderneath his feet in 6yd box an stroked home.. peno for avenue was a farce but we had been denied 2 blatant ones before hand.... newtown wont win league but if they performed like this more consistently they would have challenged.. cup is going to be interesting

98th miniute, how many seconds in the 98th miniute was it.

In all fairness,8 minutes extra time is outragous, just another talking point in the Mohar saga.

Surely this case is the iceing on the cake for them "Mohar". But i think the tital will go to Bridge Celtic, HOPEFULLY.

For The sake of football in the county. CORRUPT

in fairness i wouldnt begrudge moher the title...but if they do manage to win the league i think the achievement will be deminished in the eyes of others due to the scheduling of fixtures and decisions like 8 minutes of stoppage time which would be a shame....

but it might not come to dat as it now looks like our boys are in pole position for the league....
