If the above scenario took place and Balla won the games in hand it would effectively end the chances of Fairview.
I think the same thing happened a couple of years ago with Balla having lots of games in hand at the end of the season and getting walk overs instead of playing the games and subsequently winning the league.
Not saying it's Balla's fault, just hope it doesn't happen this season!

If thats the case why did they leave it till Thursday night to get the fixture off instead of going by the rules and going up to LDMC on Tusday night when the fixture appeared in the paper. Sorry but that is a very lame excuse.

i believe there are fixtures for both weekends, however I also believe that the OT match is on sunday 16th March, so if your team has players in that you may have the weekend off or you might get a fixture for Monday

Lame excuse it is but that was the real reason, the LDMC called it off because of the the youth players they were missing but surely with the now massive squad they have they could have played the game

Very lame excuse,they had roughly a panel of 25 attend the Summerville game there last week,yet with 4 minor's missing they "claim" they won't be able to field a team(25-4 is 21 from my maths :O) I'm sure Balla were only too delighted anyway...A nice easy game against Granville to get over the FAI loss last week...A bonus for both sides I'd say

**Fairkop** · 03/03/2008, 11:28 PM

if balla had got the game off in exactly the same manner there would be plenty on here lambasting cusack for looking after his....own.its a disgrace the view got this one called off....does this mean the view are voting differently now.

**razbar** · 04/03/2008, 8:51 AM

it will be interesting to see how many of these "minors" will start for the view in the next match...

**Neutral Jo** · 04/03/2008, 10:44 AM

Lets be honest here.
This is making a mockery of the league and the LDMC
and turning the league into a farce. Shame on Fairview.
They have more games played beacause they are out of
most competitions. Nobodys fault except their own. It is
pathetic that they can get away with this. Most Junior teams have
minor teams as well who play the same day.? Im ashamed to be
involved with this behaviour in our league.

very tight at the top, looks like it could be a very exciting title race again this year, with last years going right down to the wire

**starbar** · 04/03/2008, 7:58 PM

its between balla and pike if u ask me,a season too soon for the view,regional will bottle it as usual,as for the boro,well the less said the better

**inexile** · 04/03/2008, 8:22 PM

regional could hardly be accused of bottling it last season considering they went to the boro on the run in and won.
fairview have the points on the board and will be there or thereabouts along with pike and balla.
what do you mean by the less said about the boro the better?

**starbar** · 04/03/2008, 9:18 PM

regional:no bottle fairview:maybe next year boro:sorry pal,relying too much on b players and over 35's

**inexile** · 04/03/2008, 9:22 PM

i would have thought that regionals main attribute would be bottle, danny galvin, dara droog, mark sheehan and more could hadly be accused of lacking bottle.
