    Its easy to shout abuse at the ref - how would you like it if he did it back?

    hows 1a going this year who's doing what in the league?

    Kilmallock to win it at a canter from what I've seen so far. Balla and Hill Celtic to challenge. Everybody else to slug it out for the two relegation spots.

    Ger or Mike?

    If it was Mike, it must have been bad as he is one of the most experenced refs in town. Will see him on Thursday and find out.

    Ger is another experenced referee and I doubt it was trivial if it was him!

    Then again Kiely in the paper does not mean Kiely on Sunday

    Balla B

    Lads
    Just a quick question.

    If Balla "B" finish in the top two promotion places this year, what happens?

    Are they allowed into the Prem (with Balla "A" there already) or does the 3rd placed team replace them going up?

    balla b cant get promoted,so the next promotion spot would go to the team below them

    i'm fairly sure the B team can't be pomoted, not sure what the full reason is tho, probably somethin to do with the B's being the reserves team for the A's, so technically the A team could take all B players....

    Ya happened to geraldines a few years back. Surely you remember that Abbeyvale?

    Geraldines stayed in 1A. But not sure if 3rd place were promoted.

    Cant say that I do, I knew that ruling was there before but thought it had changed.

    Why then do you have other clubs in the lower leagues playing with two teams in the same Division (I think Corbally B & C did it last year).

    Doesn't make sense really for Balla "B", they must think to themselves, What's the point in playing league games if you cant win promotion?


    And what would happen IF (I know its a big IF) Balla "A" got relegated to Div 1A and Balla "B" finished mid table in Div 1A the same season???

    A scenario could be that Balla "A" play Balla "B" last day of the season and need 3 points to win the title,a bit of match fixing could take place so that Balla "A" take the points easy...

    Note:Case scenario,not suggesting anything so don't flame...

    I understand that.

    My question is, WHY are Balla "B" even bothered about winning promotion? when they cant?

  16. Concept said: 20/09/2007 1:19 PM
    Maybe they just want the league title

  17. Green_Hoop said: 20/09/2007 1:29 PM
    I'd imagine that its a case of simply a group of lads wanting to have a kick about on a Sunday morning and a few pints afterwards, basically an excuse for a day off as such..and this is reinforced even more since its a "b" team.

    That wouldn't happen as with CorballyB/C and again with Fairview B/C a few years back, they play each other in the first two games of the season. I also believe that Fairview B/C were in 1A at the time.

    This exact thing happened to Geraldines a good few years back. The B's won 1A and the A's got relegated from the prem. So the teams should have switched places. But the club left both teams in the divisions that they were always in. Felt the A team that got relegated would have a better chance then the B team.

    Suppose its up to the club at the end of the day.
