Are you for real Johnny Carey has to be one of the worse refs in town.

I think the sarcastic wink at the end of his statement means exactly that.

We had him for a game last season and there was a referees inspector at the match and I later heard from another ref that the report he received for that match was one of the worst ever read out at a referees meeting. Didnt surprise me in the slightest.

Cheers did'nt realise it was a wink. I'd believe the report but why is he still reffing then. Whats the point in having these inspectors if the ldmc don't act on their reports. Maybe its because they need all the refs they can get?

There is cup games tomorrow so if an away team travels and the ref deems the pitch unplayable do the home team lose home advantage anyone know ?

I was joking. He is dangerous, no protection for players.

[Jock MIB]

Aren't you the ref that gave a free for a back pass last weekend when the player tried to clear the ball and the wind caught it and blew it back to the goalie?

thats me and nice discription there, strecthed the truth a bit there i saw something slightly different but looking back at it, i shouldnt have given free kick. Sorry is there any other decisions you would like me to apologise for? :-)

I think the home team gets two chances to play the game at their place then its switched.

Croom v Coonagh

Croom - Coonagh was off this morning. The ref walked the pitch and then called it off ...

And rightly so, pitch in a bad way. Same old story, should of been called off yesterday.

Knockainey 2 Prospect 1
Prospect led 1 nil at the break and playing well missed a couple of chances to stretch the lead in fairness knock had aswell but prospect keeper pulled off great saves.Both teams were fairly depleted had bare 11. Prospect were fairly comfortable in second half and u could'nt see knock get back into it .When they eventually did get back into it , it was a scrappy goal gifted by the ref, knock player crossed ball into the box centre forward lands on the ball and while lying on the ground palms it back to an incoming player and scores right in front of the ref dont want to be goin on about refs again but something needs to be done all they want is there money and G.Hourigan was perfect example of that he had no interest in the game whatsoever and could hardly get around the pitch. For the winning goal there must have been 3 knock lads offside and it looked as though the ref left it go cause there was only 3 mins left and he did'nt want extra time. He blew up the game then with 2 mins remaining.Nothing worse than this when players are busting there ass out there and to be screwed like that. In fairness Prospect should have put the game away before that with numerous chances missed.Best of luck to knockainey in the remainder of cup they have a good chance now few shocks heard view lost 3 nil and shels were beaten on pens.

Well the one where you threatened to book me unless I took "that face off" me, I was wondering what exactly that would be - ungentlemanly conduct or dissent

Good win today conditions were awful.... Pike had a man sent off after a half hour. Ended the game as a contest really...

[Knockmad]

Its not great at the moment and as others have said the forecast for tomorrow is very bad.

Does anyone know for sure if games can be called off Saturdays by the home team again or will we have to travel out to Croom on Sunday no matter what?

Knockmad seemed to suggest the rule had been changed back to what it was but does anyone know for sure?

ya guys as far as i know (99%) the home eam can call off the game but of cource you dont want to be doing that for a cup game as you will loose home advantage for the reply.....

[Knockmad]

yes thats correct......

There was a great fair game played this morning lads in Knockainey. Prospect took the lead against the run of play. The prospect keeper was very good he saved some point blank shots from the knockainey lads. Ye missed some chances we missed some chances but of course we will take the result. The game was played at a great tempo and friendly professional manner. It was a pleasure to see every player and officials shake hands at the end of the match. what is the story lads trying to get players to come to games and training.........the managers are busting their buts twice a ween saturday to line the pitch and then the game on sunday but the players dont seen to give a ****.....it seems to be the case in all clubs am i correct?????????? Dan Hourigan for fifa ref of the year..... best of luck to Prospect in the promotion stakes.........

[Final Frontier]

Am I correct in saying that Park play Croom....?
With the shock results today and some clubs getting byes the teams left are:

Murroe,Abbey, StPats, Holycross, Knockainey, Coonagh Pike

What are the fixtures...Think Murroe now play Coonagh....big shock them beating Fairview

Anyone could get to the final....on form though you would have to say favourites would be winners of Park Croom , Coonagh and Knockainey....interseting..home advantage might be crucial.

Fair assesment.Would have to agree with u there played in a professional manner alright credit to both teams. Pity the ref did'nt show the same professionalism but thats another story...Your right about the players dont seem to give a #### Prospect were the same last week were struggling for players aswell they'd want to get their act together or kiss promotion good bye.
