Hard to see dromore staying up in premier next year.As for mungret..hard to say they bottled it..lost four of first five and unbeaten since august..not bad.it'll be interesting to see if they hold onto their players for next year.Dromore need to make a few signings if they've any hope but i think they'll be thought a lesson in premier.promotion may have come a year or two too early.
Time to start talking about team of the season maybe?

We'll worry about how we're going to get on in the premier when we're actually promoted. For the moment we're not.
Hard luck last night Mulla. I thought when it went to 3-2 ye had us. Could have went either way. Bateman really isn't doing ye any favours though.
all ye have to do is beat caherdavin..if ye cant do that id be worried!
Congrats to Dromore and best of luck in Premier to both Dromore and Killmallock. Its 1a for Mungret again![]()
I'm always worried!
I wouldn't bet against ye getting a result in Killmallock
we actually thought the ref might not play the game because of the pitch,a number of our lads wre worried about injuries before playing on it as i'm sure the dromore boys were as well,i don't think there was a game played on it for weeks and the least you would expect is to have it rolled.
I won't say the pitch suited dromore because it was as bad for both sides,but they play to there strenghts and thats what won it for them.
We still have a few important games left not least saturday evening where at least the pitch might suit us.
It will be a massive game that we'd obviously love to win but we are under no illusions about hill celtic,I would think they are the form side going into the game but hopefully we can play as well as last night without the dodgy defending and hopefully take our chances
We always seem to get off to a bad start in the last few years due to a number of issues namely the fact that we have a good few students on the team. These lads always end up going abroad during the summer to work. By the time they come back and get into shape again about 6-7 games have been played. GAA and poaching of our better players doesn't seem to help either. We had 6 points from our first 6 games this season which is appauling when you consider that in the 14 league games that we have played since we have recorded 11 wins and 3 draws.
MV and FR - thanks for the congrats but I still feel they are premature.
Frankie's had trouble with the knee all season. I was amazed that he managed to get up after the first one. I hope he didn't do too much damage by staying on but he'd try to play on with one leg if he could.
Mulla - Another ref might have not played it on the pitch. We lost one of our better players on a similar surface in Cappamore. He fell in a harmless challenge and broke his arm but that's junior football. Given the quality ye have it's a shame the way the club seem to be treating ye.
As you said if the chance ye had early on that was cleared off the line went in it could have been a completely different game.
By the way this must be the best behaved thread in the forum.
Well Mulla i see your putting yourselves as the underdogs for this weekends match with us.considering ye are way above us in the table, If we have a full strength squad then it will be an interesting game of ball, ye came away with a slight win over us at the start of the season but it could be a different story come Saturday night, looking forward to it,
TBH its probably no use complaining about batemen at this stage,its an awful pitch everyone in town knows it,
Its just a shame for us that we can't use lit,don't know the reason why we couldn't last night but thats between balla and the lit people.A better pitch would suit us more as we try play football when we can.
But we'll keep ploughing on and hopefully get some reward for the effort the whole squad has put in this season.
think we drew with ye 1-1?
just going on form of late JJ, as you know league and cup football are 2 very different things,both of us had great wins in the last round so we fancy ourselves to win but no doubt ye do too,regardless games against HC are never easy when ye have a full squad,ya it should be a good game,what is the hogan park surface like,never played there
