uummmmm let me see . .. ... i have only refereed three 1b matches one on a cut up pitch which was playable at start DE JA VU moment there

and the other one had two forty year olds up front

and the last i all i could here was "OFFSIDE" all game behind the maternity hospital...

so after taken into account all that i say the standard is.......

Above average and gets very good by end of season

Gerry O'Connell is a great signing for ye he'll score alot of goals.

Ye have a strong panel now hopefully ye can keep it together for the season.

Jeez i hope your not going to be relying on penaltys for the season to have a good year.

4 of last years panel started.
Along with Gerry we also have Mike O' Neill to come in. Add to that Barry Lipper we have added very well.

Definitely a peno but we were saying the same on the sideline/under the trees that ye werent going to get a third one. Couldnt see the handball incident though but there was definitely a little confusion from most players as to what he was actually awarding.

The Scholes-alike was a nice player alright. Got a lovely free to equalise but his volley off the cross bar was a great effort and very unliucky it didnt drop in.

What about the 2/3 great saves the Park keeper made ? The pike midfielder/centre forward was unlucky on a couple of occasions if I'm honest I don't know how he managed just to get his hand to 1 that was heading for top corner ?? Good game to watch as a spectator especially in the conditions. The field will not be playable for a few weeks i'd say ?

We will probably play on A pitch Tuesday. We were told at start of pre-season it would be made available to us. Hopefully it will be.

Ya he done very well,thats his first ever junior game,he just came out of youths,good way for your junior debut and to make a statement to keep his jersey for tomorrows game also.

**larrywhite** · 25/08/2008, 10:54 AM

Relax Jac, I was only commenting on the penalty incident and remarked on the Park player because someone else mentioned him. Both teams had chances to win it but I thought a draw looked fair but I only saw the second half thanks to King wanting to watch Arsenal instead.

Yeah Pike B down to play ye on Saturday night. Should be another good game Id say as both teams will want to play football. As long as theres not another terrential downpour.

As for man marking anyone, I will leave that up to other teams. We wont be doing it anyway.

Saturday August 30th 6.30pm
Errea Sport League Division 1B
Shelbourne V Knockainey, J McNamara,
Murroe V Caherdavin, J Clancy
Janesboro B V Park AFC, T Mannion
Coonagh United V Pike Rovers B, O Hayes
Fairview B V Caledonians, J Carey

saw it yesterday and it looked in good shape considering the conditions on Saturday. It was scarred but a game could have been played on it yesterday.

The park keeper made some fantastic saves in the second half, which was strange as he dropped a lot of simple balls earlier.
Overall a fair result. The ginger in the middle for park was the best player on show.
