IMO Alan is the best all round striker in town, holds up the ball well, very strong, good in the air, great shot, quick and scores goals.
Can't think of too many strikers in the Prem that can do all that other than, Alan Barry.
1 think he isnt is quick in all fairness he never had pace but i agree with the rest
kelliher are you having a laugh,yes he was the top striker in town 3 years ago but he can barely run now ,i def wouldnt put him ahead of aisling pair alan barry or even pa moloney for that matter
Ha Ha.....old ones are the bestand best paid
Alan Barry has a fair bit of pace, any defender on this site will verify that.
totally agree,Alan is the best striker in town right now,and i wouldn't be one bit biased either
kelliher the BIGGEST striker in town right now,what a waste of talent,shame really

Summerville 2 Regional
Granville 1 Aisling
Balla X Boro
Summerville X Regional
Granville X Aisling
Balla 1 Boro (If Balla lose, Pike are champions / If Balla draw, then a draw will do Pike on Sunday v Wembley)
Its badly organised in all fairness.
The LDMC should let Balla play their games in hand and the league should be decided on the last day of the season (providing Balla won all their games in hand).
The way the league is run, is more or less punishing Balla for doing well in the 2 major cup comps.
Not only does it effect the top of the table, but now if the league is over by Sunday, then Balla (who would have nothing to play for) still have to play Summerville, which could have a major say at the bottom.
The LDMC could easily have got Balla to play their games in hand over the next 2 weeks (Tonight, Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday) and then played both last games for both clubs on June 15th....... this would have been fair to Balla, Summerville, Granville, and also Pike would have had no complaints, seeing as though its in their own hands, and could have played cup games while waiting for Balla to play their league games in hand.

I don't think the outcome of the Balla Boro game will make a difference,can't see wembley drawing with nevermind beating Pike
Yes, but Balla wont want to hand it to Pike, they will make it as hard as possible for Pike surely!!!!!
boro wont put out a team thursday balla had favours for years with fixtures as much as i hate pike fair play if they win it
true but like you said abbeyvale very badly organised,ridiculous really

Its hardly Pikes fault for playing there games as scheduled,no mind punishing them for doing so by forcing them to have almost 3 weeks off waiting for Balla to catch up. That would be boardering on the stupid.
Also Congratulations to Pike for the hugely successful weekend with the Swindon Rep's over. A huge success on all fronts.
Like I said, Pike could easily play the Lawson game this Sunday v Fairview, while they wait for Balla to play their games in hand.
Balla could have played tonight, Thursday, Sunday, and next Tuesday (then have a few days rest and prepare for the last game of the season on Sunday June 15th, I know its a lot of games to play, but if you asked any Balla member would they be happy with that, they'd snap your hand off, while Pike would then also not have to wait!!!!!!!!!!!! You know it makes sense)

The Lawson game is on this Thursday,they are playing on. Balla have had plenty of time to play the matches in the last month or so.
I'm not arguing that fact, nor am I trying to blame Pike for this situation.
I'm just saying it would be a far more exciting and fairly run league, if it was run properly, as Ive stated above with the fixtures etc;;
Just looking at the league table, and it would be a great finish to the season if both Summerville and Granville could win this Thursday evening.
The bottom would read as follow's;
Carew Park......... 21 / 20 (Max Pts 23)
Summerville Rovers 21 / 20 (Max Pts 23)
Corbally United.... 21 / 19 (Max Pts 22)
Granville Rangers... 20 / 17 (Max Pts 23)
ah yes the swindon connection.....will that be anything like the fairview- mboro connection announced amidst much fanfare years ago.is this the same swindon who have frittered with ADMINISTRATION a few times over the last few years.wheres conny going with this one i wonder.
Didn't you hear the big surprise? They've connie lined up as Their next Chairman/Manager combined,as soon as he finishes his duties here,he's flying over and being unveiled(for anyone without the mental capacity to see what the previous line was,it was a Joke)....Seriously though get a grip man.
They came over,great weekend of coaching was had by all schoolboys/girls. In fairness to Connie he's been working his socks off to get them over and he delivered. Its upto Pike to maintain the connection thats been established,which I'm sure the current committee are already working on.
There's no way this can be turned ugly by anyone, if you try then to be honest you've really got a problem..
