Learn how to spell.

I agree with goldenyears. Having been relegated from DivII last year, I have to say that the standard of football in DivIII is nowhere near standard of DivII. Added to this the extremely poor standard of refs and some of the football I have witnessed this year is shocking. Poor handling, losing possession every other pass, 20+ wides per game,....... The fact it is so close is more due to the fact that no team seems to be able to keep a run going due to losing players to injury, work or 'other' commitments that they feel are more important than football. Saul, Tullylish & Drumgath have sampled life in senior football recently and look to be the best teams in this division, with Bredagh and Dundrum improving steadily. Surely the recommendations that were put forward earlier in the year should be looked at again, as this year's leagues indicate they would be more appropriate.
I feel that the playoffs will be between T'lish, D'gath and Saul. Dundrum can have a big say in this, but Bredagh & teconnaught, are just too far off the pace. As for those gypsies from *****ass, don't get me started!!

Saul bt Bright. Christ it was a woeful game of football. Bertie Brannigan refing awful.

Mark Lynch walked five minutes from the end after receiving a torrent of abuse from the teconnaught sideline. He had just dismissed a teconnaught player with a second yellow for a deliberate kick. He made some very poor decisions for both teams during the match, often because he was too far away from the action and it was getting dark very quickly. Saul were four points up at the time and seemed as if they were just threatening to pull away.
It will be interesting to hear what he puts in his report.
Another instance of very poor refereeing in this division. After the St Paul's/Bredagh debacle, surely it is time for the county board to look into the problem of incompetent officials in Down. It is turning a lot of players away from the game and i think it also contributes to the current problems with our county defenders. They can get away with poor marking, tackles, etc in the club games, but are then found wanting at inter county level.

Lets face it, it meant nuthin. A load of squaddies singing a god awful anthem. We must rise above this drivel.

Any word on some new signings during the window?
We could do with some cover for scholes and another striker.
Its all been very quiet.

Wankers who leave their foglight/rear wiper on all the time. Bloody christmas traffic!

Whats the point? - no fog and no rain!

We're lucky to get away with a point today. Fergie needs to spend some serious dosh in Jan for a striker. Saha took his goal very well, but looked lost in the second half. RVN would have finished that chance where Terry slipped in front of him.
Fair play to Chelsea, they took the game to us after HT.
We're still there to be overtaken though!
