good win last night for ye. who stood out for ye. do ye still think ye can go up

Thats crazy talk, thinking the fixture secretary is against shannon teams...because they are not from town...look at 1a, cappamore, herbertstown, charleville and croom...where is the so called bias against them? Shannon had 3-4 games (or more) cancelled for various reasons before christmas...it's may, if you want the season to end then the backlog has to be cleared. Obviously it's tough for the teams forced to play 4 games in a week but to suggest it's bias because they're not from town is tripe

listen pal the 3-4 games that were cancelled for shannon before xmas were cancelled for most of the teams in the division too just look back on results and fixtures going back the season. look im not defending any club or making excuses for any teams position in the table but i was just putting the point forward that it seems that the 2 shannon clubs have been the only clubs really with a back log of fixtures this late in the season..... thats all

**Lev Yashin** · 06/05/2009, 11:38 AM

The worst thing about this is....we play 5 games in seven days right, culminating in cappamore on saturday night...then despite the fact that there are fixtures for next week...tuesday and thursday...we are not down for one! dines i take your point about trying to get the games played and get the season over but surely our game tomorrow night could have been put down for a night next week to give us a break?? it does seem there is a bias toward certain teams in the league..

I dunno FF its not my place to say whether any one will stay or go....we still have a chance to go up so thats what we will be concentrating on. I cant see anyone leaving to be honest i mean(without being disrespectful to other teams) but where else would you want to play?? Ok park rangers might come up but for now they are still 1B

**dines08** · 06/05/2009, 11:49 AM

i'm not saying the fixture system isn't flawed...it's very tough on some teams, what i am saying is that it's just incompetence...to say it's being done on purpose to benefit city teams and to the detriment of particularily shannon teams (as was footie freaks claim) is wrong...i'd say the pressure of trying to organise fixtures and get leagues finished is too much and the secretary is just trying to get the games done rather than looking at who's playing when and analysing it from a players point of view

**Lev Yashin** · 06/05/2009, 11:51 AM

Well i know that the majority of our team are carrying injuries in one form or another, and playing through the pain...im not looking for a sympathy vote just common sense!!!

dines i never claimed that the sec was intentionaly making it tough for shannon teams i put the point across to shannon man askingb what did he think so read the thread properly before commenting.
i agree that there is a back log but in division 1a shannon have 1 less game played than the top 6 teams check the table and all i was saying was was ther a need to cram so many games in together, the exact same sitiuation is goin on in division 1b with park rangers

The season should be brought forward to start the week after the bank holiday, so in next season's case it should kick off on Tuesday 11th August, which would allow most (if not all) teams to have played 5 games on or before Tuesday 25th (when the season normally kicks off).

Rule 52 of the LDLC Junior and Youth Rules states :

"The Fixtures Secretary cannot make teams play more than one midweek fixture per week. Unless a team requests to play more"

Get onto your club and get them to make representation on your behalf. Asking teams to play Sunday - Tuesday - Thursday - Sunday is not on.

**Fairkop** · 06/05/2009, 11:21 PM

spot on bono,but this fixtures sec makes his own rules.a number of teams are being saddled with an unrealistic fixtures list which will cost a few of them in terms of promotion or relegation,it is as has been previously said ..incompetence.

we can defiantely be caught but its in our own hands...shannon play croom tonight, croom are struggling rumour has it. it's a big game...don't think shannon can afford to drop more points in the next week or two...we've tough games left. Mungret Croom Balla B at home, Charleville and Herbertstown away. 4 wins and we're up...thats gonna be very hard tho. If shannon drop points then i think 3 wins will do us as long as one of those wins is the charleville game

You made a great save from the free kick that eventually led to Star's only goal on Tuesday pal.........best of luck for the rest of the season, but I think The Dines will just about take second spot.

**Lev Yashin** · 07/05/2009, 8:14 PM

Cheers but i should have pushed around the post!!!
we won one nil tonight...horrible game that neither team really looked like wanting to win...but feck it...its another three points for us.

Croom 0-1 Shannon Town
