take off your green and white blinkers will you and give people the chance to air there views your nothing but a smart mouth by the way connie is lined up for a different job alright /////bring on aidan ryan

If you continue to make cretinous comments then its my prerogative to reply. Why don't you take off your Anybody but Pike Blinkers?? Same applies both ways in fairness. Connie hasn't mentioned a single word to the committee about leaving,pretty much the opposite in fact. And I'd be fairly sure there would be more that just Aidan Ryan Applying for the Pike post..

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)

And so I was correct.........squeeky bum time at the bottom now

summerville 3 regional 1 the lads were excellent tonight,don't want to name players who
did well because it was a great performance from all the players subs included, went 1 down inside three minutes and showed great heart and ability to come back and win
we dominated for long parts and could have scored more having said that regional were
always a threat and dangerous when breaking, absolutely great result and i'd say that we are safe now and can look forward to a good match against balla,

With Granville winning as well tonight, Summerville and Carew are far from safe, along with Corbally.

If Pike do win the league on Sunday, then I just hope for all concerned that Balla really do the right thing when they play Corbally and Summerville in their few remaining games.

This just confirms my early points about fixture dates having a massive say in both ends of the table.

[abbeyvale]

Summerville Rovers 21 / 20 (Max Pts 23)
Carew Park......... 21 / 20 (Max Pts 23)
Corbally United.... 21 / 19 (Max Pts 22)
Granville Rangers... 20 / 17 (Max Pts 23)

Remaining Games
Aisling(1)- Balla,
Balla(4)- AISLING,CORBALLY,Fairview,Summerville
Carew Pk(1)- GRANVILLE,
Corbally(1)- Balla
Fairview(1)- Granville
Granville(2)- FAIRVIEW,Carew,
Pike Rvs(1)- WEMBLEY
Summerville(1)-BALLA,
Wembley(1)-Pike,



Ok lads, I have a very possible scenario for the bottom of the league.

Fairview beat Granville next Thursday night and Granville go on and beat Carew in both teams last games (givining both teams 20pts).

Summerville lose their last remaining fixture v Balla (leaving Summerville on 20pts)

Corbally draw their last remaining fixture v Balla (giving Corbally 20pts)

That would leave Granville, Carew, Corbally & Summerville all on 20pts!!!!!! What would happen then?

I know theres a lot of IF'S and BUTS, but it could easily happen...........................

proves the league is a farce

its sad to say - but this is spot on..
at the top of the table you have balla who would be in contention up to the last game [if they won their games in hand], yet pike will more than likely win the league this sunday..there is no fairness in this fixtures setup and it also makes it way less exciting..

but at the bottom is where the LDMC is really taking the p*ss.. you have four teams in trouble for the last relegation spot [carew,granville,summerville,corbally].. so in the interest of fairness, each of these teams should definitely play their last game on the same day at the same time.. yet, those clowns down there have left summerville and corbally with 1 fixture left - both against balla.. this is disgraceful.. they really are the epitomy of stupidity down there..

you mean in the same way as Aisling did themselves proud tonight losing 5 nil to a team they probably hockeyed earlier in the season???
fixtures are having a huge say at both ends - way too big a say, and thats down to the LDMC's stupidity

My previous point exactly, a total shambles.......

I agree with you 100%.

[abbeyvale]

Just a thought, but I think the league should introduce some sort of an incentive for teams to finish as high as possible in the leagues.

For example the higher you finish in your league, then you could be awarded a bye in the first round or two of the local cups the following season.

This is just an example and I'm sure there are more ways to ensure teams play their full strenght teams for ALL their league games, to ensure fair play to ALL teams in the league.

I know the fixture set up is a farce as well, but that seems to be ongoing for years now, so knowing the LDMC, they'll hardly change now!!!!!!!!

Any other ideas that would help the ****e situation that we are in??

And the worse thing about it is NO CLUB INVOLVED KNOW'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPNES IF THIS SITUATION DOES OCCUR..................

one suggestion is all four play each other in one week league thing

Sunday . 1 v 2 and 3 v 4
Wednesday 1 v 3 and 2 v 4
Saturday 1 v 4 and 2 v 3

The team with least points is relegated and if still draw at bottom then goal difference decide it

only a suggestion

Not a bad idea!!!!!
But a plan in the event of something like this happening should surely be put in place before a season starts!!!!!!!!!!!! do you honestly think the LDMC have a plan in place???? and if they do, I dont think they relayed it to any of the clubs in town.

[widow]

Well done Aishling I hope ye've no luck next season for that. A total disgrace. Ye really let ye're selves down tonight.

Its hard on them from about January on because the out of town stages seriously kick in for about 3/4 teams. And since there priority games they're ranked ahead of anything local. That means 6 teams won't play a local game on a given weekend,meaning its got to be rescheduled for later on that season(Look at Balla's run in the MJC). Add this to Paddy Cusack being ill for a series of months this year and you can sort of see where the backlog is coming from. Can't blame any club for the happenings really. They mostly play when and where told.


P.S. Straightup would you like us to start a club to help fundraise for a Dictionary for you? Or general English lessons in replying to posts. Your standard is non existent at present..

[abbeyvale]

Well done Aishling I hope ye've no luck next season for that. A total disgrace. Ye really let ye're selves down tonight.

I hope other clubs cant say the same about ye, when ye play Corbally and Summerville.

IMO, If a team is to stay in the Prem then they have to deserve it, and by that I mean by beating full strenght teams put in front of them.

Hopefully all the leagues will be organised a bit better next season (in fairness it cant get any worse).....
