Im looking forward to the Cup tho...good games and anyone can win it even my old team...

Love these threads ..great for the old footballers like myself to go watch games and see how peoples opinionss differ...

We'll see old timer. I reckon Coonagh will make a game of it, but go down by the odd goal.

Seems we cannot win with this debate, we get grief when we call games off and sometimes get grief when we let them go ahead.

Process is we are told to be at the pitch on Sunday morning to inspected pitch for dimensions , condition and safety of equipment.

If we find all to be satisfactory we allow match to go ahead , if not we dont.

What else can we do???? we have life as well why should i leave earlier, rather than spendin some time with my family, to satisfy teams?

i respect the situation is difficult but it is also difficult on our side as well.

It goes both ways LADS

I agree. Refs are actually human lads. It's the Ldmc that are the problem.

Your damn right on this as a whole but I can't agree with all the arguements. I have never seen any Ref checking the dimensions of the pitches. Don't know how that is for other lads.

Calling off all the matches is the only way to go that way the Refs are not responsible and the clubs are not responsible. Do you think that might work? It works in Clare...

Not for me to comment on, thats for the LDMC to dicuss, with the referee's checking dimensions. look closer when you see them pacing between the goals there are checking the width of them and also the height by strecthing up hand, also when they are walking from one end of pitch to other to inspect they are also pacing out dimension

.

ps take a look at this weekend match i can be positive that the ref will do that

That wouldn't work. Pike Fairview and a few other pitches can often be playable even after the worst weather. Where as other pitches wouldn't be. So you would be calling games off that could go ahead.. I don't know the answer, but maybe the ldmc should think of a solution. Isn't that their purpose??? Anyway, back to 1b lads, are Park at full strength for Sunday?

Our pitch is playable nearly all the time too. But I think everyone would benefit from such a desicion in that no-one would go games ahead and you find out the day before.

I think we will be at full strength which is great. We seem to get results when we have the full compliment.

Looking forward to the game Sunday.... I think it will be enjoyable and it's another must win game. "Every game is cup final" from here on in. We need to stay on track.
How bout Pike? Will your players stay honest Saturday night?

Our boys will be honest on Saturday night alright

. In terms of full team, we should be near full strength for first time in awhile, so considering we beat View and gave Prospect a game with 80% of full team, I would look forward to Sunday with optimism..

Paddy Walsh...... He checks everything.
