Whats this, the special 1 backing referees

Wouldn't class Corofin as being filthy, hard maybe, there are other clubs that when you play against them that you are going to be in a battle then there are the teams who try to play pretty football and can mix it as well if needed.
The problem I used to have with Corofin is that one or two of there players were very opinionated on the field and would more or less walk themselves into trouble, all referees had a problem with these players which led to yellow and red cards and hence the disciplinary problem.

We are playing Lifford B this weekend. We also played them in our last game. I was wondering if it happened to any one else that they were fixed to play the same team 2 games in a row.

Seems a bit unusual as you only have 3 games played and already playing a return leg with 10 teams in that league.Did you ask Mike Lydon??

No didn't ask him. I expect its to do with the Oscar Traynor being on this weekend and so full programme of fixtures not on. It still seems very strange.

Yes, this happened us with Newmarket youths in the Youths league at the start of the season but in a slightly different way...we played Moher in our first league game and then just two or three weeks later we were down to play them again.It was really annoying as Avenue were playing Corofin for the 2nd time the same day as we were playin moher for the 2nd time????and it gets a bit worse, avenue hadn't played moher yet(still haven't!!) and we hadn't played Corofin at that time so it was fairly annoying now!!

Who is John playing for.Has to be a deserved kick up the a##e for Skinny after his last performance.He might even stay sober on a Saturday night but I doubt it.

how about you keep your comments about a fella being in the pub to yourself..comments like that are uncalled for...would you like us to say things about you and when you go out or what you do????you wouldn't say it to his face[/QUOTE]

It doesnt matter what I do on a Saturday night I am not playing for my county.It does matter what he does when he is.Or maybe you think thats ok behaviour??

I was commenting on the fact that Skinny was dropped.Is there a law against this?The interest in the OT team is the same after the first match as the second.

for your information skinny wasn't out the saturday night before the waterford/cork match so i don't know where your comments are coming from..and shelbourne should know that as a rule over the years you wouldn't find skinny in pub on saturday nights..ask his manager...

The fact you make both of these statements only cofirms what you dont know.

Have to agree with you old git, though I would not condone it myself as a manager of a team, if the Newtown management see fit to go out drinking with a player or players thats their choice, at least they would know how much was consumed.
With regards to Skinny, I think you would have to look a long way back to find a game for either Newtown or the Oscar Traynor team where he was unable to play or didn't bother turning up to play because of the night before.
The lad enjoys his football and to my reckoning he has never let a team down yet.

It must be tough living next door to an alcoholic

I think Tony is getting Saturday night mixed up with Sunday night

Jackaroo - no need for it.

Lads, who cares about Skinny-really, can we change the topic.

What was the OT team the other night ?

Who should be on the OT panel that wasn't picked ?

Any predictions on the game this weekend ?
