" football is a simple game "
i'll give you an example of what infuriates me about referees. we played carew park (premier) last year in the FAI. the match was on in Rathbane, the ref was a "Premier" ref. match was 0-0 coming towards half-time, you could see carew getting more and more frustrated at not being able to break us down. our centre half was having a particularly good game marking the carew centre forward. at one stage there was a 50/50 tackle which our centre half won against the carew centre forward. carew player didn't like being tackled, he turned around, in front of the ref, and punched our centre half straight into the face. both players starting wrestling each other on the ground. what did the ref do? he booked our centre half and gave carew park a free-kick. this absolutely enraged our management team as you'd expect, who shouted at the ref. he blatantly ignored the fact that the carew player punched our player. he also gave carew 2 penalties in the second half. we gave up in the 2nd half (playing against 12 men including the ref) and ended up losing 6-1. the ref was afraid to send off any carew player and laughed at us for questioning his decisions. a "Premier" ref? you're avin a laugh
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
Come on now.Surely any ref,in any place in town would send a player off for striking an opponent.Did ye report him?
No they would not. There are few that would in this division.
no they didn't
Would be a funny one alright seeing they are top of the table and all that!
the ref in question is from southill if i'm not mistaken. he was havin great banter with the carew lads before the game even started (and during it). we knew before even going out onto the pitch that he'd give us nothing, especially in rathbane with all their supporters watching. don't get me wrong i've nothing against carew park, but it was an absolute disgrace that morning and the ref was unbelievably biased. we didn't bother reporting him, it was a meaningless match for us. if it had've been a league game then definitely we would've reported him
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
stranger things have happened
hopefully the start of our season and a good run of no losses for a while. think we will need a ladder
There's no such thing as luck. Victories for the underdog are an aberration on the order of the universe - which is why I've had damn few loses in my time
predictions for sunday :
park 3 cals 1
coonagh 0 murroe 1
holycross 1 caherdavin 2
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
Very good!!
I think they'll be tough to beat from here on in. They won't be relegated anyway, that's for certain..
Sunday:
Park 2 Cals 1
Coonagh 2 Murroe 1
Holycross 1 Caherdavin 4

This Sunday 23rd November
Fairview V Murroe
They were down to play Coonagh.A change in the fixture.
Right then...
Fairview 2-2 Murroe
lads,any one know what time this is scheduled for???
17's are playing the fairgreen in the afternoon
i'd go along with that prediction. should be a good game. both teams going well
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
Well yeah. I've not seen Murroe yet and am going on their form, but having seen Fairview last Sunday, I think they are solid enough but only about 4th or 5th best team in the league. I don't see either side going up to be honest.
i've seen fairview once and they looked good. haven't seen murroe but the caherdavin lads said they were a decent side, strong at the back. they've conceded the fewest goals in the division too i think. hard to say who's gonna go up. what about ye pike B, do ye fancy yere chances?
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
To be honest about it, no. We are about 3 or 4 players short of being a top team in this league, but we should hold our own in the division. If I had to call it I'd say we'll finish between 7th and 10th. But if we get a few new signings who knows, we could go on a run.
i remember when ye got promoted 2 seasons ago from 2A. i think it was ye and murroe was it? ye were very good that season. i thought we'd be joinin ye in 1B by now but it hasn't happened, short 3 players ourselves
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
It's the old Liverpool syndrome.. 'If we had three more players we'd win the league'!!
