Tipp South & District League 2010/11

[nononsense]

who scored and how did the team line out. Sounds like a great win.

Scorers were Colin Bargary (60 mins) and James Walsh (80 mins). Team was Ritchie Ryan, Ian Barnes, James Walsh, Paul Breen, Chris Higgins, Thomas Fahy, Ritchie Ryan, Andrew Cosgrave, Jimmy Carr, Shane Guerin, David McGrath. Subs used were Colin Bargary for Carr, Seanie O'Hara for Guerin, Alan Leahy for Cosgrave. TSDL at home to holders Wexford League in quarter-finals. As stated an excellent performance from everybody.

I make it Dualla 15-30 every one else seems correct

[nononsense]

I make it Dualla 15-30 every one else seems correct

Duall should get all three points for the abandoned game against Mullinahone (1-1) earlier this season.

[wilhelm2]

didn,t hear about that, any idea why the game was abandoned and therefore why dualla would get the points? i think they will certainly need them in the quest for promotion

[nononsense]

didn,t hear about that, any idea why the game was abandoned and therefore why dualla would get the points? i think they will certainly need them in the quest for promotion

The game was played around Oct/Nov. Don't know what happened. Normal policy is to put such a game on hold and if the points are important to any team the game is refixed. As the points are now important it would be necessary to refix the game but as Mullinahone are gone out of football this is not possible so the points should go to Dualla. Remember this is just my opinion and not official. I think TSDL meet next Monday to decide on allocation of all Mullinahone points.

[wilhelm2]

thanks for that, please keep us informed of any developements

Carrick beat Kinsale 1-0 so should set up a quarter final with Clonmel Town,any result from Towns game today with College Corinthians??

[Redman028]

any result from Towns game today with College Corinthians??

Not on till tomorrow.......

[balls]

any result from tsdl youth game today against galway

[nononsense]

any result from tsdl youth game today against galway

TSDL youths 0, Galway 1. The goal came midway through the second half, soft silly goal. Up to the goal TSDL were the better team, missed several good chances.

Well republican looks like your prediction for borris walking the 1st division is a bit off. St. Nicholas top now after their win on Sunday. Think that they still have to play again so should make for an interesting finish to the league.

[balls]

great result for saint nicholas especially away to borris. I still fancy borris to win the league though. what happened town yesterday in mjc must have had a bad day at the office you would have fancied them to win that 1 even though they were playing up in cork

Yup, i said it myself, st nicholas are a good side and will give the league a right rattle. They still hav to meet again in league and in shield final. Its gonna be very close to see who wins it. I thoguht borris were the better team yesterday but nicholas are a serious threat goin forward. There goalie also pulled off a fe great saves in last few mins, one in particular from a header was world class.
But on the match itself, john o dwyer is a sham of a man. He denied borris 2 definite penalties and maybe a third. I dont think he blew for a offside the whole game either.
Anyway, well done to both teams on servin up a classic!!!!!

[Bobby D]

Carrick bet that cork team 8 nil in cork last year in mjc, i was very surprised when i heard the result last night, was looking forward to the match against town but its not to be.

[Mission Bell]

Yes, Bobby, hard to believe. The local derby seemed a nailed on certainty but that's football I suppose.

Well if Borris had won that game yesterday the league would have been over so at least it keeps it interesting for the last few games. Borris definitely still favorites but could all come down to the last game of season. Wonder will Tommy Lewis leave the return game till the end

Totally agree with you....... I dont have many good things to say about him either!

[republican]

yeah great result for st nicholas alright borris will still win the league doh in my opinion but yeah it would have been over if borris won so fair play to st nicholas. stunned with the town result to be honest but i would expect athenry will get a backlash at the weekend.

[nononsense]

Nice to see a discussion on a first division game i.e. Borris/St.Nicholas. Must say the coverage of TSDL on local radio stations, Tipp FM and Tipp Mid West Radio a disgrace. Tipp Mid West have an anchor man who knows nothing about TSDL and is more interested in talking about the Premiership. After a brief discussion with the Dualla manager and St.Michaels James Walsh just wanted to talk about Rooney's elbow incident which has already been beaten to death in national TV and press. I am more disappointed with Tipp FM whose coverage is mainly Clonmel Town. Neither mentioned anything about the Borris/St.Nicholas classic or any other division.

[tipp man]

Agreed, Tipp Fm could do do much more; one thing I will say about them though is they hardly ever mention English football. I can get that on Newstalk. You are right, they barely mention North Tipp and never any division outside the top flight North or South.

I think you are right that both stations could do more. I wouldnt agree that it is mainly Clonmel Town. Last night town was the main topic but that was due to their shock defeat. On that, I didnt think Muiris Walsh was right to have such a go at the team- anyone can lose a game, thats sport. I wasnt at the game but because of the way he left Town, he couldnt wait to have a go at them. Any chance he gets now he will stick the boot in to them
Despite that, he is generally very good and to be fair to him, last night they did talk about Michaels, TSDL Youths, Carrick. The biggest problem for him and Ronan Quirke is that enough time is not devoted to soccer North or South. A couple of weeks ago i heard them talk about the TSDL 1st Division but that was the 1st time I heard the division being mentioned.

I was at the game and yes Town were poor against a very, very ordinary side. However I wouldnt pay to much attention to what Muiris Walsh has to say, he was there Sunday but was working for Tipp FM. To be honest, he is no fan of Clonmel Town. Your right Town Fan, any chance he gets, he will have a go at Town.

[cufc champions]

Is he not entitled to be critical of a poor performance as a critic??? Town had the opportunity of life time to try get some revenge for the mjc final last year in their home patch and blew it, there was a mixture of shock and disapointment around carrick sunday evening that CUFC will not be playing in the complex in the quarters what an occasion that would have being

IF muiris was at the game i fully agree he is entitled to berate the players and the performance if it was poor which it obviously was, was he at the game though? If he wasnt at the game he is only going on hear say which is unfair,Town will need to lift it for Sunday and go for goals and rip into Athenry who will only be off a long bus journey down,not easy to turn it on and off though

[cufc champions]

Athenry came down to carrick two seasons ago and were the best passing team ive seen in a long time, carrick got an undeserved 1nil win we should have being beaten but thanks to great 'keeping and poor shooting we held on, town beware these lads are no mugs

Also the post above mine said Muris was there but was working for tipp fm

[tipp man]

Muris did say he was at the game.

[Bobby D]

Athenry actually took Carrick to penos and they had a peno in extra time to win the match, very good team, they have Seamie Crowe who's the current Irish player of the year, one off the best teams ive played against at jnr level by far, i,d fancy them to bet town 3-1.

Good posts above re Clonmel Town shock defeat - what a pity no game now between Town and Carrick. Back to the coverage on the two radio stations, could I just say I don't know nor never met any of the presenters. Have heard of Muiris Walsh and thought he was still PRO with Clonmel Town. His knowledge of TSDL is limited e.g. he had vague report on inter league youths game against Galway etc. As one poster pointed out the programme gives little time to local soccer, usually about 10 minutes at the end. Really it is a sham. The other radio station, Tipp Mid-west is worse, totally amateur, no standards whatsoever. If they are not prepared to give local soccer North and South its due coverage better they forget about it altogether.

[balls]

lads were never gonna get our own radio show for local soccer the demand just aint there for it as much as those of us that follow the game would like it. some on here complaining about coverage of tsdl div 1 games , the average attendance at a div 1 tsdl game is probably between 3 and 5 people so do you think the general public are gonna be interested in detailed match reports of these games when none could be arsed even attending the games. soccer is the poor relation of sports on both tipperary radio stations but we still get abit of coverage sometimes on par timewise with local rugby so were not doing too bad its not zero coverage. gaa being dominant topic on tipp fm and tipp mid west but again this is because the general sporting public are gonna want gaa news first just the way it is.

Also on the digs about mid west radio. it is an ameteur set up fair enough but alot of people do listen in for tsdl results of the day on a sunday, mainly older football men those who may not be internet users so it serves a purpose for them. Also the lad presenting it aint that bad, gaa may be his first love but i know for a fact he would often ring people involvded in local soccer clubs to the station ( the likes of michaels, nicholas, galbally) and get scorers etc so its not as if he has zero interest in tsdl.

Back to football best of luck to saints and town sunday be great to have both in last 8.

Also great idea in my opinion playing oscar traynor game on a thurs night, thus allowing premier games to go ahead on the sunday and prob get decent crowd on the thurs night too

Despite what I think of him, I think you are being unfair to Muiris. He actually does have a very good knowledge of the TSDL. My problem is that I know he has it in for Town over the way he walked out on the club and never misses a chance to put the boot in to Town. That said he does his best to promote the league with very limited time, ten minutes stuck in at the end. I listen most Monday's and I find him very good on all sports. I know him and I don’t like him, I think he used Clonmel Town to build up his profile and is now looking for a "career" in radio. I don’t know what work he actually did for Town, except write the club notes. Tipp FM gave him his own show for a while. Even though it kills me to say it, I think he is good on the radio and does his best for the league.

Can I just say that I am from Cahir Park so I don’t know what Muiris did or didn’t do for Town. However I think that's very harsh. I know Muiris albeit not that well but he is a real football man and a real sports fan. Trust me guys, this lad has a knowledge of all sports and in particular local soccer second to known. To say that his knowledge of the TSDL is limited, is simply not true. I think the TSDL should be glad to have him on Monday nights. I do agree the coverage is poor but that isn't down to him or Ronan Quirke. Tipp FM is a GAA station, and everyone else is down the queue. But don’t start having a go at Muiris again on this forum

Here we go again with the Muiris bashing again. I don't know if you or Complexman ever heard the phrase 'It is best to keep quiet and be thought of as a fool rather than open it and remove all doubt' but it definitely applies to both of you. You both profess to be Town fans yet you apparently have no idea why Muiris left the club because if you did you wouldn't be on here having a go at him. In fact I think it speaks volumes of the guy that he is still a keen Town supporter despite the shabby way he was treated by your club. Give the guy a break and stop talking nonsense.

[republican]

cant understand all the criticism of muiris walsh from so called town fan's. i remember muiris saying a few years back on tipp fm that clonmel town were known worldwide (a bit of an over reaction there muiris) but it just shows the passion he has for the club, i can also remember a linesman telling him to get off the field after he had ran on to celebrate a town goal last season, a clonmel town man through and through and all the criticism is a bit sad lad's. how has he gone from adoring the club to as ye claim now hating ye?? looking forward to the town v athenry game on sat athenry are coming with a big reputation but town are a tough nut to crack in the complex. also i hear wicklow are no mug's coming to cooke park on sun and st michael's better be on their guard here.

he claims to be a Town man but I never believed it. to me he jumped on the bandwagon. why would he come out with comments last Monday like " the worst second half performance he could remember from a town team"- sorry I don't want to talk about that man anymore- as I say he is good on the radio but dont give me " adoring the club" thats nonsense

I would hazard a guess and say he has done more for Town that you have or ever will. The fact that you say he is anti Town because he criticised their second half performance baffles me. What supporter hasn't had a go at his own team's performance at some stage?

well said Roberto- Muiris is a great Town man and football man

Anyway, should move on and not give these people any more time. Think Town will be up it against it on Saturday,still the fact its at home gives them a great chance. Great its on Saturday, means we will get to see Michaels game as well

maybe he would come out with a comment like that because that is the way he saw it and maybe its true. i talked to jamie during the week and he was very upset with the performance so cant really see what muiris did wrong. admittedley i dont know the bloke as well as any of ye but always found him a gent and a very passionate town man.

Good post as usual from Balls, to the point without personal attack. I disagree with some of what is said but we will agree to differ. On the Oscar Traynor game against Wexford, I'm told it is put back to Wednesday 23rd March. Good news on the junior international call-ups - Clonmel Town's Ritchie Ryan and Ian Barnes plus St.Michaels Chris Higgins called to Dublin on March 26th. Ritchie Ryan and Chris Higgins were certainties after good games in Tipp trial. Delighted for Ian Barnes who wasn't selected for Tipp trial but impressed so much with TSDL team manager Mick O'Brien added him for Dublin final trial. Hard luck on Jimmy Carr who misses out. He can take heart as he is young and time is on his side. Best of luck to Clonmel Town and St.Michaels - both have tough games but they can do the TSDL proud with two wins.

I just had the misfortune of having to watch the Town/Athenry game,a very very average Athenry side easily knocked out a toothless Town side,they looked as if they had no interest at all,the line up was baffling,shanahan left back,o connor centre half?? if its true they suspended Barnes themselves for today thats nearly as bad a decision as the line up itself,Town are in decline since Mckeever left and there is no getting away from that

[nononsense]

Clonmel Town line up ; Ryan, Quinlivan, Shanahan, Condon, O'Connor, Scully, Loughnane, Comerford, McGrath, Cleary, Maguire. Sub used Barry Ryan for Loughnane. Goal came around the half hour mark. Town dominated the second half but Athenry defence always in control. Both sides hit the woodwork in the second-half. Athenry were the better side, very well organised and disciplined.

[footballfanatic]

thank you nononsence. would i be wrong in sayin time seems to be up for clonmel town. have they anything left in the tank and good players coming through. i know they wil always be a top team in tsdl but regarding fai, its farther there gettin to winning i reckon.

Good question. Clonmel Town had high hopes with this team but within six days it has all fallen apart. They brought in players for national and/or provincial success but these players failed to deliver. The Ian Barnes incident didn't help and he was missed to-day. Also Darren Burns an unused reserve while quite a few performed badly. Barry Ryan was no improvement and overall Town were too dependant on scraps from long throw-ins and corners. Disappointed with Ritchie Ryans error for the goal but thought enough defenders were around to prevent the goal. Town have now just four TSDL league games and Tipperary Cup to play for. They have an excellent schoolboy and youth setup and I think they should concentrate on these lads coming through.

I am always going to be bias to the thurles lads but what exactly was Barry going to do in 10 minutes,Ted should have started up front,mcgrath is average at best,he waited way to long to make changes,i actually think Villa will surprise Town in the Tipp Cup
