spot on,its early days and regional will be up there with the other three or four ,as regards their goals against it it good but conceding 4 to lower div opposition recently is not.

Worst logic ever...your basing the defence off 6 games played,if thats the case explain how Balla have the apparently 5th best defence in town and are top of the league?? It'll be the same 3 battling it out as it is most years, I don't know why people are hyping Regional so much,they've consistently under performed in the league,slipping away as the season goes on..what makes this season any different?

And cup football my eye,at that stage Pike had 10 forwards and a keeper, looking for a repeat of last years feat in having every outfield player score. Moyross are harmless..

Have Regional not improved their team with new players?, it might make a difference this season, you cant base whos going to challenge for the title totally on previous years. Long way to go yet before a clear idea of who is gonna be up there challenging at the end of the season!

Have Pike/Fairview/Balla/Ashling not improved their teams with new players? Pike and Fairview especially. I'm basing my theory on logic or what I think is logic, if you compare players like for like between the top 4,Regional come 4th out of the 4 IMO.

I never said Regional would win anything, all I said was that Regional have the best defence in the league at the moment, (with Aisling) the table never lies.

Load of Blarney, Barry gave Pike the run around for weeks so Connie decided to drop it, might as well have been chasing ghosts apparently.. Pike and St.Micks are on great terms at the moment. Never was a problem from there side.

Typical

What do you mean Typical!!
When you come and see us play or play against us, you will see just how shocking the refs can be!!
Afraid of the city teams some of them!!
And we have said if you were reading that we were playin bad, missing chances, and sloppy defending!!
Not one of us said our bad start was down to Refs, its our own fault and eventually we will start playin like we can!!

I am 100% sure of one thing bud. No ref, and I mean no ref, is afraid of Granville!!!

I have seen you play do you remeber Aisling game i was the lad in the middle with the Yellow on and a whistle in my mouth.. So i must be classed as one of these shocking referee cause you lost that one...

Why has,nt he been capped yet so he,s 30 years of age now and as far as i can remember he has just prem leagues to show ,not any munster junior or fai,s surely all capped players will be judged on provincial and national competitions

I didnt say all refs now did I!!
And we were shocking that day and we admitted straight after that we were shocking and we should have lost by more!!
We have been playing better since but still making mistakes!!

Then say that in posts as well as Balbec77, there is 90mins in a game many factors determine results.
Please dont target Refs on here when match reporting or i will respond... getting sick of hearing it.
The difference is the top teams in the league dont give the oppourtunity for a bad decision to cost them the game by playing better consistently week in week out

I know your a good footballing side but did you expect to come in and walk preimer easily, if i was being honest i think you's came in a year or two earlier than your club planned. But you could have played badly last year and still coast 1a as the standard wasn't great. ( I'm Glad to see 1A standard is back to a higher standard this year though )
Keep doing what your doing and the work will pay off
