Limerick Division 1A 2008/09

[Dark Horse]

If ye had taken your chances ye would have scored 3 times but if mungret had taken all their chances it would have been at least 8. Mungret made hard work of yesterdays game and hill celtic were in the game until the last ten minutes when mungret got their second. i think mungret deserved the win considering the amount of chances they had.

Never, They had lots of shots but most of them outside the box and Toldo had them all covered..The first goal was also controversial, the ball came off the bar and straight back down then out, the ref gave the goal even though he couldnt see it and also if he did see it there was no line on the goal line, I think it was harsh of him to give it although it was a goal from where I was standing....the second goal was also dodgy....Your striker played it forward and it hit off of one of our defenders and fell straight to one of your players straight through he went on to hit the post before it was followed up.

Agree..Its better to have the points early. As the season goes on they'l keep pickin up the points they need to get back imo where they belong. Id like to see them pass out regional again in the near future.

Id swap points with them if they wanted.

have seen summerville and while they played well I think mungret were a lot better all over the pitch than they were,have not seen star yet so personally can't comment

Star were the best team we played so far even though we had a weakened team, I think they will move on up.

mungret are excellent going forward but it is possible to get at them at the back...i know a few of their players well and up front and especially wide midfield they are excellent...grinding out results is gonna define their season when it comes to their away games after christmas...i definately think they're the team to beat and anyone who finishes above them will win the league...from our point of view just goin on the squad we have and the way things are goin i think everyone involved wit the dines would be disappointed if we didn't go up...thats definately the aim, we know its gonna be very tough tho

I dissagree, the back 4 are very solid and hard to break down, they double up alot when defending and credit to there wingers for that, they are good up front also, they hold up the ball well.

Do you not think ye've dropped to many points already bud no? I think this year wil be a year too soon for summer vil,its a very new and young team,next season i think will be their year again but then again you'd never no,saw dine's twice this season,think their a bit light,same kinda build to the summer vil team,maybe its a year too early for them too,so for me it'd be mungret and then have your pick,prospect have only 3 games played,and their best eleven would beat any team in d league,so i wouldn't rule out them if they made a few shapes.

I dont think we have dropped too many points............when you consider we had some very important players missing for us (after the Hill Celtic game), and had to travel to Cappamore and Herbertstown.

We have 4pts after 4 games and although it doesnt sound great, we are 9pts behind 2nd place with 2 games in hand, so to answer your question, No I dont think we have dropped too many points already (especially when any of the teams in this league are more than capable of beating the others).

[Lev Yashin]

It'll be 2 from Mungret, Dines, Summervile and Star IMO.
Think Shannon will fall away.

have you seen us play yet??

[oscar]

Quick question for Mungret lads on forum....
Does your youth keeper (cussen) play with your first team??
saw him play on sunday last......best young keeper i have seen since collopy from the dines...

heard he was fantastic sunday,made some good saves
one of the lads said he was a great stopper,so good in fact he would stop the recession

[abbeyvale]

have you seen us play yet??

Nope, Im going on what Ive heard from a few players that have played against ye this season,

There was nothing dubious about Mungrets 2 goals, perfectly good goals. The ref was a bit away from the first goal that hit the crossbar and then went behind the line. Mungret did have at least 8 chances to score, but only took two.

Thanks for only taking two yer sound lads

and what have you heard??

Well I told him ye were good actually better than Mungret from the games we played against you both but they were both away for us and Shannons pitch was harder to play on given the conditions on the day, Shannon wont fall away neither will Mungret IMO unless they both lose key players.
So no busting them when ye play them Abbeyvale. lol.

I agree, it did go behind the line but from where the ref was standing there was no way he could tell and also there was no goal line for him to make his judgement.......
We had chances, ye were better than us on the day but I think ye were happy to go away with the 3 points given the chances we missed.

Lads Mungret have the league won and thats a fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No team will get within 15pts of them
Geraldines are 2nd i think and they are absolutely abysmal
Shannon i havent seen so i cant comment
I reckon its between Prospect and Star or Shannon for 2nd
The rest of the teams dont even deserve a mention there so bad

How do make out geraldines are absolutely abysmal
shows you how much you know we have beaten both prospect (home) and star (away) and we still have to play shannon home and away and mungret wont win the league by that much so we will see at the end of the season there is no tropheys given out in october

[abbeyvale]

and what have you heard??

I heard that ye were lucky to beat a poor Hill Celtic side, and also struggled very badly v Newport (in one of the cups)

i dont think for a second that the hill celtic side we played were poor...i know they have vastly inproved from the start of the season...and 4-2 is hardly a "lucky" win....ya we were poor against newport but every team has an off day...

[francesco_1]

It was star/summerville/herbertstown/cappamore and geraldines who beat a poor Hill celtic team,since we got our players we have played shannon and mungret,two tough games to play while were figuring out who and where to start,the second half of the season we will be capable of beating any team once we settle considering we have star/shannon/mungret/geraldines and summerville at home

You're dead right...you should get a job wit sky sports...who do you play wit by the way? I'd love to come watch u play and see how it should be done...

Gerry, Im only trying to rise you bud!!!

But IMO I just think ye will fall away.

Top 5 will be (in no particular order), Mungret, Shannon, Star, Summerville & Dines.

Geraldines are a good side, not the best we have played but they are far from abysmal and could be there or there abouts.....

I heard that ye were lucky to beat a poor Hill Celtic side, and also struggled very badly v Newport (in one of the cups)

They didnt struggle to beat a poor Hill Celtic side they did well to beat a Hill Celtic side that have only now come together and got a team....it was Star who beat a very poor Hill Celtic side.

but every team has an off day...

We have had 7 so far in the league.

It was star/summerville/herbertstown/cappamore and geraldines who beat a poor Hill celtic team,since we got our players we have played shannon and mungret,two tough games to play while were figuring out who and where to start,the second half of the season we will be capable of beating any team once we settle considering we have star/shannon/mungret/geraldines and summerville at home

We dont have Summerville at home they beat us at Hogan Park, I agree with all the rest.

Where is Hill Celtic in that list.

[Super Rovers]

personally dont think mungret will get promoted. they are the same every year good at home but the minute you get them outside mungret they fall apart. think after christmas they will fall away when the away matches come thick and fast

How many away games did Mungret lose last season Super Rovers or do you know?
