get a grip .. a lot of current preimer players probally played a bit of b team football at some stage and will play it again ... and must add some of the current preimer players should still be playing b team football .. so don't knock it some clubs do treat it very serious and unfortunatly some others don't. but without b team football a lot of clubs would not existOriginally Posted by Planners
" football is a simple game "
Have to agree with you Old Git on the clubs without b team football a lot of clubs would not exist but personally I have never played on a second best team and have finished at top level - IMO if a player cannot play at a top level when in the twilight of his / her career then it's time to hang up the boots - you can forget the medals , serious injury is all you'll end up with -
Another beauty from Planners...
How exactly did you come to this conclusion
With all due respect Planners, you're talking through you're hole. I've been playing on our "B" team for the last 8 years or more and i have also played with our "A" team. I have won 3 medals with our "B" team and 1 with our "A" team. Some "B" teams are better than some of the "A" teams in this league.
don't diagreee with you Buzzer but I was giving MY opinion - fair play to you but in the long run when it's over at one level it over - finish at the top and be remembered for that !!!!
planners ... a medal is a medal wheter its for preimer / 1st division / 3rd division a team / b team / c team .. you still have to earn it ..
hell of alot of good players out there playing b team football maybe they cannot get onto elite first team because manager does not like them or manager has his 5-6 favourite regulars who will play week in week out untill their late 30ths !!! .. ok some of them don't want the commitment of playing for an A TEAM .. if so good luck to them
a lot of so called clubs out their are just surviving on poaching players of other clubs or getting unhappy players joining from other clubs.. nothing better than having a good club set up with a & b teams supporting each other and helping their clubs grow & progress..
" football is a simple game "
agree with old git..
So wud your B team beat yer A team??
Ya, our B team have beaten our A team. For the last 2 years when there is a break in the league because of unplayable pitches, our B team have played our A team in a "challenge" game and the B team have won both times. They were competitive games because neither team wanted to lose to the other. Bragging rights and all that.
best of luck to all involved this weekend. Am i right in saying that clare must win to advance? Going by the managers words they seem to have a strong squad this year so it will be interesting to see them play. Is doora in bad shape that the match is on in lifford????
Yeah there was 2 games in Doora last weekend so lg decided Cassidy Park was the best option.
This is the last game in the group. As it stands
Roscommon Pld 1 Pts 3
Clare Pld 1 Pts 1
Donegal Pld 2 Pts 1
So a draw will see Roscommon thru. Clare need to win. Best of luck to them.
According to Clare FM Clare lost 3-2.....They were winning 2-1 at half time...
I eats the beef......
Sounds like there is something wrong with ye'r A team if the B team is better? Surely the A team are better?? what team is it may i ask?
Presume he is referring to Bridge United. B team have beaten A team in a few light hearted friendlies over the last few years in the astro turf. Both sides are fairly balanced with the view to competing well in the Prem and 1st divisions. Both managers have a good relationship so no grieve or aggro between squads. B team definitely capable of challenging most teams on their day, They ran Lifford close in the Munster Junior this year and Lifford comfortably beat our A side.
Did anybody see the Bunratty v Kilkishen game? 4-3 to Bunratty.
Given that they have been played on the Astro and not a pitch the B team must have a bit of football in them so and its not all about bone-crunching tackles and "ugly" soccer?
Yep...Decent game. Was 2-0 and 3-1 to Bunratty.
Yeah i did unfortunately.Exciting game with chances for both sides.Felt we could have got a draw.We missed enough in front of Goal.Bunratty went 2 nil up,2-1,3-1,3-2,4-2, and then4-3.For all the stick the ref got he handled the game well.Bad result for us but we'll keep going
Agreed, B team play good football
I agree the ref did a good job. Kept good control of the game. Game could have gone either way but young Shane Meehan up front was the difference. He had 3 scored by ht.
Ref had an offical apology on Clare FM over the weekend admitting he did get things wrong last week. Lets give him some credit for admitting this in fairness.
