Tipp South & District League 2010/11

How can they fulfill the fixture with no players?

Who said they had no players?

[Tipp Top]

Who said they had no players?

Apparently thats the reason the club was to fold,not 1 player attended a training session

Club was never going to fold.The Rock has had 6 training sessions so far and the worst turnout from that 6 sessions was 11 players.Numbers in training are fine.Unfortunately we have 8 players involved in gaa and all are still involved in championship so we have to try and accomodate everyone when we can.It's nothing new to us though so we just have to get on with it.Everything your hearing elsewhere is only hearsay.

may have a point there ill try find out whos suspended..

[ponyobrien]

Craig Condon, Eddie Doyle and Barry Kiely suspended for first game. Thats it. I think it's a bit harsh to say "their discipline was shocking last season".

[AB84]

will Barry Kiely get his game this year?? Who else have Celtic signed besides him,Power and Kennedy.

Give me a predicted line up there Pony??

[Insidetherock]

Are Paddy Power off the wall offering odds on Junior League games.. they could be so open to manipulation its unreal.

And is there a bet limit ?

Taking Celtic at 1/5 on against the Wildies would be buying money. 100 down to win 20, 20% profit in 2 hours .. Jesus but I'm having some of that.

[Insidetherock]

Not only that, but if you fancied an accumalator of the most likely results i.e. wins for Michaels, Town, Celtic and Peake, you'd double your money. Decent enough bet what do people think ?

[Soccer Man]

Is it true that cashel signed barry mcCormack from cahir and one or two others

'Shocking discipline', what evidence do you have for such a thoughtless remark? I have seen the suspension list for the start of the season and it doesn't support your comment. Their discipline was no better or worse than most other teams last season.

[nononsense]

Heard on radio last night that they are gone. What happens all the debt the club has???

Who said it on radio last night? What radio station? What programme?

[Mega Tots]

They finished with 8 or 9 players against villa in a massive game for them and not 1 of those red cards was needed,abusing the ref and general wrecklessness and i dont mean to have a go,i think they play great football and have loads of talent in the squad but their discipline seems their undoing,they also had a red card against Town and against Saints,did Villa have a red card in the whole of the season.....let alone an important game?

Celtic played over 30 games in all competitions last season and you more or less focus on 1 (Villa game) to suggest they have a discipline problem. I would contend it was the shocking performance of the referee that was the reason for the discipline issues that day, a fact (ref's performance) supported by the Peake Villa manager. Don't use one game as evidence to say that Celtic have a discipline problem. Of course they have had other red cards during the season, what team hadn't. If you went to the league and requested the yellow and red card tally for last season I bet you would be surprised where Celtic ranked.

You obviously weren't at the game, cos Stevie Wonder could have seen such a shocking display by a referee. It was even noted by Peake manager and Oscar Traynor manager. Please tell me you weren't there. I will lose all respect for you if you were there.

Isn't Stevie Wonder a referee too....................

And both those managers are refereeing experts and would know so much about refereeing........................... Can we look forward to THIS season??

[GreenLane08]

Anybody any thoughts on Div 1 this year??
Bridge seem to have strongest team again in this div. and for once they having been training very well in pre-season, pity they didn't do it for Prem League.
Only thing is Bridge have 4 or 5 suspensions at start of season but the Shield is their first game so at least it not a league tie.

Any info on other teams in Div 1?

Tommy Gaynor has taken over Borris,they will attract a lot of players and will be very strong i would imagine in that division

[zeke]

i think you'll find most teams have at least 4 suspensions for the first game,anybody have any idea who is suspended from st michaels or clonmel town

[AB84]

looks good alright Rock..do ya think Saints and Peake are certainties??

[Insidetherock]

looks good alright Rock..do ya think Saints and Peake are certainties??

Never a certainty in a bookies my good man, and I find that my small few bob tends to add two stone weight to any nag I decide to risk it on.. but as the man says, while the fight is not always to the strongest, nor the race to the fastest... that is the way to bet.

If I were to leave anything out of the accum, it would be a Michaels win against Cashel.. but then I would say that. We have a decent team again this year, with the majority of the players one year wiser as far as the Premier goes, and a much more settled pre-season than last. Had a couple of good results in challenges, without ever really having the best first team available or on the pitch.

It's the suspensions that could make a lottery of this weeks games. Not sure how many Saints have, but Cashel have a few and to pretty key players. Maybe they'll even themselves out.

Another big factor in the game might be whether Chalkie plays for Michaels or not. I've heard he won't be available, and no matter what people think of him, he'll be a big loss.

That's my tuppence worth.

The bet of the night really is Celtic at 1/5. Short odds, but at 20% return in 90 minutes, like I said, it's buying money. You'd have to fancy Peake strongly too against Galbally.

I feel Peake never really get the respect they deserve either on here or out in the real world. But they are the league champions, and they are going to put a decent team out in their first game of the season

Plus, Galbally are a promoted team and as Cashel found last year, it's a hell of a step up.

In fact, I am changing my bet of the night to Peake.. 4/11.. €40 back for 110... over 35% return in 90 minutes. You wouldn't get that with Anglo Irish Bank.

Fill ye're boots lads...

[CashelMan]

you seem to have alot of fate in the cashel team rock? from watchin Cashel against Blackcastle last weekend they looked excellent.fit sharp an passed blackcastle out of the game.i think it will be a tough game for cashel but i have a sneaky feeling about it.i think cashel can do it.but along with Micheals they are missing some very key players.the new manager seems to be working well,so hopefully they will be up for it,im sure they will..have some more fate in the team....i think clonmel town have it this year.they had an awful start last season but got it together for the second half.i would go with clonmel town.

I've plenty of faith in the Cashel Team CM.. but if you read the post more closely, you'd see that my money on Michaels would probably be worth a goal start for Cashel, such is my terrible luck with the bookies.

There is no doubt that Cashel passed Blackcastle off the field last weekend, but betting is about form, and the formbook shows that Michaels did the same to them, twice, over the past two weeks, so there you go.

I too think Cashel will do well against Michaels on Friday evening. The important thing is to keep things tight in the early part of the game. We were behind in both games last year before we were warmed up, and you simply can't give them a goal (or four!!!) start again. If that can be avoided, there is nothing stopping Cashel getting a win (not even my twenty :victory: )

Whether Chalkie plays, and I only just heard earlier that Paul Breen is suspended as well, could make a huge difference. That's the heart of their defensive unit. If you can exploit that, could make for an interesting evening.

As much as it pains me to post this i sadly report that the Rock Rovers club has withdrawn from the Tipperary League.Last night 3 players asked for releases from the Rock to join Carrick United.This coupled with 4 players suspended for the first two games of the season and 2 or 3 injuries leaves the squad in tatters.The players just aren't there.

I know this will please a lot of people but i think its really disappointing because there are a couple of really genuine lads that are involved in that club that fought tooth and nail to keep the Rock afloat year in year out.The 3 players that have left should have let the club know sooner than 2 nights before the season starts but when you have a big club like Carrick United approaching you,it's hard to say no.

Have to say useless that I am genuinely sorry to hear that news. Like I said before, I know Rock weren't everyones favourite team, but they had some decent players and some decent people involved in the club. A pity to see them go.

[hooper74]

makes a right mess of the league now,only 14 game season and will there now only be 1 team relegated?

[green&white]

sorry for the ones who worked so hard to establish the club , often against the tide. I asked a person very close to Ck Utd
Prem and he assured me their club did not approach R.R. players but were themselves approached by 2 players . Still pending, it seems panels are full . very late to find clubs now

[cufc champions]

its sad to see them go, rumours have being around since the end of last season its a pity they couldnt come to a decision sooner in order to give players a chance to find other teams and clubs. JJ and John arrived off their own backs after they realised the writing was on the wall for the rock

[West Hammer]

Have they kept any of their schoolboy teams or has it all gone.

[Insidetherock]

Heard the whole lot was gone. Very unfortunate

[AB84]

did cashel v saints go ahead?

[Insidetherock]

did cashel v saints go ahead?

Yeah, went ahead. Unfortunately.

Michael's won 4-1, and probably could have won by more. Cashel played ok, solid if not spectacular, but gave away goals from set pieces. Criminal in the game today I suppose.

For anyone interested, here's a report of the game from the Cashel Town Facebook website.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cashel-Town-FC/144823328869414?v=app_2373072738&ref=sgm#!/topic.php?uid=144823328869414&topic=208

This is actually a good idea for other clubs too, setting up a Facebook site that is. I know the guy behind the Cashel one and according to him its much easier to set up than a full club website, and you can do almost as much with it.

In fact it's probably better because of how Facebook works, sending all new messages to people who have joined the page, where with a site people would still have to go check themselves.

[tipp man]

Not bad at all; shame they failed to mention in the match report who scored for Saints? Answers anyone? Did Chalky play?

[Insidetherock]

Think if you read it closer Tipp man you'll have noticed that Chalkie both played and scored, as well as coming close by hitting the cross bar.

He'd a good game, doing his usual standing in the centre directing the show around him (and that is meant as a compliment) as well as making a nuisance of himself at set pieces (another compliment)

As for the Michael's scorers, Liam probably didn't know who they were to be fair, but if teams can get someone to leave him a message on the Cashel page, he'd probably be able to edit the report to get it in.

I think other teams should look at doing something similar if they could. Would be a great way of getting reports on games long before the Nationalist print them on Thursdays

[balls]

any result in from town and wildies???

[Insidetherock]

any result in from town and wildies???

Was Celtic and Wildies and finished in a three all draw. Great game, and the Wildies were well up for it. Home town derby for the first game of the season, and a six goal thriller.

If only all games were as much fun to see.

[cufc champions]

wildies played Carrick United last wednesday and lost 4-2 they were excellent on the night, mcsharry and o hara have the potential to score alot of goals in the premier,

What did I tell you balls.. If I put a ha'penny on a team it's like putting lead in their boots... mind you, makes for an interesting start to the season. With only 14 games in the league now, every single point will be absolutely vital both at the top and bottom of the division.

I wonder what effect the suspension issue had on Peake today, were they badly affected by it ? Surely that's something the league can't allow happen again.

Suspensions are the least of the clubs problems,it is going to be a very long season,ted o connor,david duggan and michael butler have signed for borris and derek loughnane has signed for clonmel town,plenty more to follow i would imagine

Players have had their heads turned by false promises from Borris,Villa need lads to show some loyalty now but unfortunately thats a currency modern players dont deal in,the manager lost the dressing room and took the **** in pre season.....he barely organised a training session and now were left in a mess
