Limerick Premier Division 2007/08

[Goals4fun]

wudnt say they have any interest in that cup to be honest especially after pike playing b team players last round

so pike through to the final
how can you say they have no interest. there is no silverware on the table anywhere so why would teams not try and win...

if granville take nothing from these is the season over ?

[abbeyvale]

if granville take nothing from these is the season over ?

It is at the bottom anyway.
But if Granville lose to the View and beat Carew, then Corbally need at least a point v Balla for a play off, anything less will see them relegated.

or beat balla to relegate carew

summerville wil go down.. gorey had a bake cos he was dropped against regional and retired there and then, cyril maher is missin sunday along wit 4 or 5 others, meaning they'l be playin practically their b team against balla sunday... i said it weeks ago.... those 2 pts their keeper dropped them against star weeks ago would eventually cost them their premier status...

on another note.. all this crack about the wembley v pike game.. seems to be the common demoninator is mick burke..lads he's the worst ref in town and should not be reffing nite owls games.. let alone big premier matches!!

nah thats wrong "fairview man" summerville have 20 pts so a relegation
playoff is the worst they can get now with carew playing granville and
granville needing points

granville have 2 games left,, if carew and granville draw and granville win the other game they would be on 21 with carew, with summerville losing there remaining game they would be on 20pts, thats also if corbally get something from the balla game, cant see it coming to that though reckon they'll be safe

Hi there,Can't see summerville going down not just yet anyway.For them to automatically to go down granville need a win tonight and a draw with carew on sunday and then summerville to lose to balla on sunday(which more than likely will happen as summerville are missing 5-6 players)and then corbally to get a win off balla.So as said previously the worst summerville can get realistically is a playoff.

As for Mike Burke.The less said about this guy the better to be honest.I know he is out there doing his job but sometimes or should i say most of the time he is brutal!
Where is the granville v fairview game on tonight?And what time?

Thanks,Any idea who the ref is for that game tonight as it looks like the referee's have a huge influence on games these last few weeks.I thought wembley were down to play pike this weekend?

Yes Summerville are definately playing Ballananty the weekend..From what i gather they are missing 5-6 players.They will be hoping there B players get something out of it!

Dont believe half the crap you read here about refs, you know how (esp certain premier sides) try to ref things from the side line, they convince themselves they are right and the ref is wrong and get 'excited' when they're not having any influence. Its easier rant on about a ref than admit their own mistakes.

thats spot on,, can't see it happening either but i guess you never know,,

[leather]

Agree that you shouldn't believe everything about ref's, but having to listen to a refs report being read out at a council meeting, realising that it contained so many misrepresentations of the facts that it wasnt funny...maybe if SOME refs showed some respect to people inteliigence then people might respect them...
there are many refs who are respected by most people, but the one ref that i think has the respect of nearly all of the foootball people is Enda quaid. Communicats with players and officials in a superb manner. He also has played the game and understands players frustrations. some of the refs appointed to the top premier games this season shouldn't be left ref a game of blow football. I know that there is a shortage of refs, but if there are no refs how about less teams....

thats handy for balla with them missing players good job they were not down to play fairview this wkd wonder what team fairview will have out against them?

One idea would be to pick out a number of refs(decent number) at the start of the season that can ref premier games only. The "better" refs if you like(provided there are any). The fact that they would have so fewer games might help their performance as they would be examined more closely. Also it gives refs around Limerick something to aim for i.e. to reach the premier standard of refereeing!
This way there would be some kind of consistincy to refereeing performances???

just a suggestion

In fairness most of these guys have never played football they see it as something they can pick up to earn an extra bit of cash nd they havent a clue on the flip side how many of you players would be a ref? not a lot im thinking!! But the only way you'll stop these people ruining the game is get your finger out become a ref, Im sure that if you've at least played the game you'd know your offsides whats a leg whats a hand etc EX PLAYERS=GOOD REFS simple

Paddy Collins is the man - He picks who he thinks is capable - So with your suggestion who do you think should decide the best Refs? The Clubs ? Don't think so!


gives refs around Limerick something to aim
What Ref in their right mind would look forward to Reffing Premier games when they can get the same money for mickey mouse games.
The abuse they have to put up with is worth no money.
Janesboro need to take a serious look at their carry on on the sidelines. IMO it starts from the manager and spreads into the spectators and Ballynanty, Fairview, Pike and Regional are also serial offenders.
The current batch of Refs is all we have so we have to stop behaving like a shower of old women and accept their decisons(admittedly sometimes looney) as part of the game or go play Playstation where the Ref is always perfect.

[Philbert]

No cornflakes this morning?

I do agree with the sideline bit. But in fairness, how do you think 30,000 plus fans roaring at the ref is dealt with in England? By ignoring it !!!
If the ref is good enough, the sideline will have no impact on his decisions... Abuse like that at the wembly pike game should be dealt with... Dom Considine and the Crusaders should be punished harshly to set an example... Someone said the ldmc were at that game so they know whats going on. Its up to them to do something about the sideline
