18 times, and that's a fact.
Bad weekend for the 1B clubs lads. Pity really, hoped we might cause an upset or two. Very hard luck to Cals for going down to Boro again by the odd goal.
Games Sunday 1B League
Predictions
Shels 2-3 Bruff
Caherdavin 2-1 Park
Boro B 3-2 Coonagh
anybody know any potential candidates for the park A job???
hopefully dermots succesor will give the park lads a kick up the arse and get them playing to their potential because so far they have been playing nowhere near as good as they can,
1 good man gone from park(dermot) 1 good 1 in ( dukesy), he is a top quality signing but he wont save parks season unless the whole team get their s**t together
yeah he has been training for the last while and hes signed up but i dont think hes played as yet,
dermot only packed it in last night and davys been there for a few weeks so no i dont think he joined as player manager but every chance he might take the position, whoever does take it on will have a talented squad to work with, heard damian o rourke joined so the team is going to be very strong, too strong for 1b imo, and there is lots of time left to make amends to the abysmal start they've had so i personally would put my money on park for promotion to 1a this year, taking into account the players, the facilities and the lads behind the scenes working as hard as they do, id imagine park will be a premier team sooner rather than later
Ah ya a good man alright. Bottom of 1B out of the munster. Failure to get promotion last year. Masterminded one of the worst defeats I've ever been part of.
The players don't need a kick up the arse they need confidence. I know for a fact Dermot doesn't exactly instill it in you. I could repeat a conversation I had with him but it wouldn't do anyone any favours. He is gone now and lets hope the team can push on.

try reading my post next time axeman, i said good man, not good manager,, hes a sound auld bloke and i wish him luck with whatever he does.
and it doesnt say much about your footballing skills if you took part in one of the worst defeats he ever masterminded.
[quote=quasi;1025739]im not here to argue with you axeman just give my two cents
imo the players do need a solid a kick up the arse, they seem leaderless on the pitch and imo seem too afraid to get in hard in the middle of midfield. the team is undeniably young and talented but most of them just need to grow a pair and get stuck in instead of tippy toeing around all the time, i think davy and dukes will be leaders and hopefully the younger lads learn from them
[QUOTE=quasi;1025739]quasi, sound man dermot must have thought a lot about axe mans footballing skills as he picked him as part of his starting 11
don't know dermot personally and cant knock his previous managerail success with .. but seen him on the line at a few games and nothing from him when games going against park totally quiet just stands there with hands folded ..![]()

A lot of talk about Dermot Finnan here lads. I have met him a few times and he's a sound bloke, and not forgetting the most successful manager this town's ever seen. I'm sure he'll be in demand and back in management very soon.
As for Quasi's comments about Park being too good for this division, I'd take in a few games before I'd make that call mate.There are several teams every bit as good, and so far better than Park. Yes the new players will add to their strength, but 1B is no handy league. And while I'd not rule them out this early, it'll take a massive effort for them to go up.
