    I took a bang on my foot last week and it hasn't got any better one week on. I'm going to A&E this evening to get an x-ray so fingers crossed it's not broken. More than likely not gonna be fit for tomorrow though.

    jaysus. hope its not serious. were not having a good run with injuries, Eddie out, me just coming back from Injury, Ciarans been injured also, but he maybe ok for tomorrow nite.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Never had a bad foot injury before so no idea if it's serious. But one week on and it hasn't improved would suggest it's not good news. Though I can walk on it fine and it's not that swollen. We shall see anyway

    you just need to hang in there man. ive been there up to 6 hours before. maybe your gp would be a better option first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    dan should be there tonight, aint been talking to him, but was out with him sat night and seemed to be ok for it.

    Mick on the other hand is out. he is in hospital. he is having his appendix out, so thats us down him now for a few weeks i would imagine.

    Shame to be losing him though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Yeh that's a blow but Andy will get his chance to impress. I'm gonna head to the VHI place in DCU. Not waiting in A&E again. So in about two hours should know the extent of the damage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,032 ✭✭✭FrankGrimes


    Just realised this match is actually a 19:15 kick-off. It's listed in the Fixtures list as a 21:00 kick-off, what's the deal with that - did they change the fixtures again or just this one?

    I have to work late and will be lucky to make the second half of this game, might miss the whole lot. Could have planned ahead if I had known last week that the kick-off was 19:15, poxy Astro.ie

    Des, can you post a link to the Astro league table in the Fixtures & Results sticky (so it's easy to find from any computer) and post an update in that thread whenever Astro.ie email with changes (I use that list to plan my work schedule and travel dates).

    Fúck, profuse apologies Jules, this is my fault.

    It was pointed out to me last week that the fixtures had indeed been changed again. I forgot to update that thread, totally slipped my mind.

    Sorry. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,032 ✭✭✭FrankGrimes


    No worries Des, sh!t happens. Will get there if I can for some of it but really won't be able to tell until the time.


    What's the deal with Coffin Dodgers not having played a game yet while some teams have played 3 games already? Hope they haven't dropped out already....that'd be an 18 game season down to 15 games already with more walkovers possible.

    I'm going to pop up tonight to watch.
    Looking like this season is a write off for me at the moment. 5 more weeks of physio then another scan. I'm not optmistic though because no improvement so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Good news for me. My foot isn't broken. Possibly tendonitis. Have physio tomorrow and shall update then. Defo out tonight. Might pop along tonight if my foot isn't too sore.

    So you did Des, my mistake!


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 mrgavo


    Jules, a fella that drinks in Scholars plays for the Coffin Dodgers. They've drawn 1 and lost 1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Good luck tonight. If I came along I'd only be tempted to be silly and play so just gonna stay in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    3-3 draw.

    worse performance ever in the first half, dont know what we were playing at but we conceded 3 goals and could have been more.0-3 at half time.

    we made 2 or 3 switchs in 2nd half and it changed us about, we had a bit of bite. got back to 3-3 with jules (2) and gav getting a last second equaliser.

    2 points lost though, their keeper was terrible but we didnt test him until into the 2nd half, he gifted us 2 goals. had we woke up 10 minutes earlier, we would have won the game hands down.

    poor start, lets hope other results have been kind to us as 5 points dropped already is poor. we also had 2 lads sent off, so suppose shows how well we played in the 2nd half.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    What was the story with the sendings off? Great comeback but very shaky start to season!

    ciaran mouthing, should have been a free to us, he send ciaran off with about 8 or 9 left.
    cathal cleaned a lad out of it, straight red with about 5 left, but again, the ref missed a foul before hand.

    ya, super stuff in 2nd half.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Yellows or reds or what?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,608 ✭✭✭Spud83


    Ciaran was a yellow, Cathal a red.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Ah ok, so Cathal will miss next week then and Ciaran wont.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,608 ✭✭✭Spud83


    Straight red so he misses the next two according to the rules sticky.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    forgot to say, jules 2nd with about 8 or 9 left was a cracker.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,674 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    We were extremely poor in the first half, the opposition were queing up to shoot numerous times outside the box.

    In saying that we fought back bravely and had a perfectly good goal ruled out.

    Ciaran was immense all over the place tackling and harrassing blatant handball by their guy just before he was sin binned.

    Cathal.. pretty nasty elbow in the balls and we all know what happened after that. Can't argue with the red.

    Can someone explain how we scored the last goal?? I crossed it in, did one of their defenders head it back to Gav and the he headed it in??

    Missed the first 10 minutes and should've been 1-0 up before 3 quick fire strikes with the third being the worst. Couldn't see the comeback..

    Great header and strike for the first two and great reading of the game to react first for the third.

    Seven goals in two games and to be honest, I thought the ref could've sent at least more off towards the end. Lost discipline though it did provide the determination to get the equaliser.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    their goalie came rushing off his line for the last goal for no reason, nice finish but it was a gift.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,674 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Looks like we're down to 6th after 3 games played.

    fair play on some astute changes last 15 minutes to get us back in the game by the way, everything helped, everybody played their part.

    i know i was disapointed after the game and so were a few more, but i think at half time we would have taken it with bells on. the 9 men, no matter how short it was for, seemed to get to them, even their keeper was shouting it when we were piling forward. looking at it now, it was as you said, a point gained.

    the team on top only drew also, so in reality lads, we are no worse off this week. lets get on a run of 5 or 6 wins now and, given the fact that we play all the teams above us anyway, we willl be top. we normally set the pace, as has been the case past 2 seasons.

    i would like to say first of i was one of the people that tore into the ref and i am sorry about that i just had a ****e day with my son cause found out he could be having an operation before christmas.

    Secondly i would just like to say that i taught the the second half permforance last night was excellent and we were lucky not to get three points from our goal in the first half whoch i actually think would have made a big difference in the outcome of the first half. i taught ken played very well in the first half and Jules was outstanding in the second half great that he was able to make it.

    so once again sorry for my outburst last night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    your grand clay, he got to us all, but instead of having a go at him, it helped us to focus and that extra little bit og anger helped us get back into the game.. the decision before cathals red was a joke and he could have allowed our goal in the 1st half. he also gave alot against us.

    we never get any breaks off refs, even new ones like him last night. we reacted very positively to it though which is great.

    ciaran said he got binned for an elbow, not mouthing by the way.

    Don't worry about it Clay. We all need to learn that we can't talk back to the Ref at all.
    He gave myself and Collie a b0llixing after the match about all the abuse and back chat he was getting during the game.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,674 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Lads we had this last season, when the ref makes a decision he's not gonna change his mind, best thing to do is get on with the game and do your best to win. If you keep giving a ref hassle he'll never give anything our way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    I got over the fact that the referees in this league are ****e a long time ago. No use arguing with them. Just get on with it. Went to physio today and reckons I'm out for 10 days so I'll miss one game more only with a bit of luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    i think the opposite keith is true on some cases. some refs will give you a dodgy decision if they think they done something wrong. we got a few late breaks last couple of seasons from dodgy decisions.

    no ref will deliberately screw you over cos honestly, they dont really care! how many times for example, have you seen a ref give a penalty to one team and then to the other? even-ing things up .

    I've seen it plenty but the reverse is true where its a stonewall penalty and if you've been hassling the ref for the game he just waves it away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭emc2


    I have to say that the ref last night wasn't the worst one we had. He missed a couple of thing (the guy catching the ball for example) but over all we wasn't too bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,032 ✭✭✭FrankGrimes


    First let's get the negatives out of the way: twas a big shock to arrive at half-time and find us 3 down and starting the 2nd with a strange lack of cohesion; 2nd half we started off very quiet, particularly while the ball is actually in play we're not talking to each other enough; 7 goals in 2 games is worrying; we're going backwards on the discipline front - notice how we only ever get involved in rows with refs or the opposition when we're not exactly on top form ourselves; ref could easily have binned a few more of our players; I had one chance with back to goal where I was too focused on executing the turn&shoot that I didn’t hear Art screaming for it – apologised to him afterwards for not laying it off.

    Now the positives:

    -My meeting finished early and I was like a kid getting off school early legging it out of there as fast as I could!

    -Coming back from 3-0 down in any match, against any opposition is an outstanding demonstration of fighting spirit and belief. You can't buy that, you either have it as a team or you don't. Like Ed said, another 5 minutes and we'd have taken the 3 points.

    -We really got the dander up in the last 15, in part due to the sense of injustice of perceived wrongs from the ref, but the extra edge it gave us was noticeable: we gave them much less time on the ball and we won far more 50-50s and breaking balls as the game went on. True we did get too hyped and too argumentative at times but if we can keep just the right side of that line and keep the dander up at that level, we’ll be a nightmare for any team to play against cos they’ll have to work for everything they get.

    -Michael made some good changes in the second-half and did not fall into the trap of going gung-ho too early: get a foothold in the game, nick a goal to get a lifeline, stabilize for 5 minutes, and then go all-out cos you already have the opposition on the backfoot before going all-out so they are already less likely to expose the space you leave behind. That's exactly the way Michael played it and I thought it was spot on.

    -They are a decent side and though we might think it was 2 points lost, they could be in the shakeup at the end as they are a decent team, so instead of a point rescued, it might be a 3-point swing if we are head-to-head with them at the end.

    -There were a fair few new combinations and partnerships used in the course of that game so that’s an extra game under the belt for those players to get used to playing alongside each other and that’ll stand to us.

    -That’ll have driven out any remaining shreds of complacency: I don’t think anyone will be assuming we should be walking this league at this stage so we won’t take anything for granted after this and it’ll be back to focusing on grinding out 3 points each week.

    -Well, at least there’s no need to worry about deciding goal of the season cos it’s clearly sorted already! :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    9 points from the next 3 games is a must. we play 2 of the bottom 4 with the team on top, the only unbeaten team, in the middle of those 2 games.

    weve a few injuries so the squad will be tested over the coming weeks. im putting my operation on hold for now, so fingers crossed it lasts without too much hassle. the last nite was my first 30 minutes of playing with boards since june so im itching to get back into it now over the coming week.
