Tipp South & District League 2010/11

[Tipp Top]

coady was with carrick when he got a call up, many years ago when aaron moroney was in his prime for Clonmel Town a lot of people were calling that he should get a call up to the squad but didnt. then in 2004/05 season when he signed for St Michaels amazingly he was called into the squad! i wonder why??? i know a few players who have been asked to sign for St Michaels with the carrot being a call up to the junior international squad, how do u think paul breen signed!! breen in fairness well deserves his place as he is better than chalkie for the record...

yer man who signed from athenry was another example...

Alan Barry came to Saints on the promise of a cap,played with them until xmas,got the cap and left immediately and was rubbish the whole time,went back to Limerick and had a great season and cant get a look in off the irish team.....funny that :)

[footballfanatic]

The decision about now many go down will not be made till the next league AGM. The format of the divisions this season was only decided 3 weeks before start of season. Until the number of teams entering the league is confirmed the league can not set out each division. All that said any team that finishes 2nd from bottom should be safe, don't quote me on that!!
Thank you west hammer.

Btw, i agree paul breen is by far the best player in the league, a million miles ahead of chawkie, and even richard dunne at this stage.

Would not think that Town will be far off winning the FAI. They have shown in previous seasons that they are capable of a run in it and if you get to semi finals, anyone can win it. I would expect Town, St. Michael's and Clonmel Celtic to at least make the last 16. Your very much hoping the draw will be kind after that.

Clonmel Celtic have absolutely no chance of making the last 16 of the FAI,Clonmel Towns chances will depend on the draw they get,i would not be surprised to see them beaten in Nenagh next week,Saint Michaels have the most realistic chance as they are capable of keeping clean sheets anywhere,Town have the poorest defence in the TSDL of any top team and this will catch them

[rushy12]

footballfanatic you have my word i wont mention that dreaded name again! as for that big orange carrot? I dont see or hear any saintsfan denying this? but you all have points it looks very suspicious..anyone think there will be any upsets this weekend?or the usual 5 nil and 6 nil wins?

[footballfanatic]

heres what i think the results will be, maybe ye might consider them shocks but not me...
peake will go through at celtic
wildernes will beat moyglass
oldbridge will beat cashel
clonsmell town will beat bansha easy
borris will beat cahir

michaels will beat galbally

the peake-celtic result i gave many might call a shock but i dont think it would be as big a one as thought earlier in the season, peake seem a bit more settled.
iv lost all respect for cashel since they were bet by borroway so im goin for an oldbridge win here. that result to borroway was embarresing.
borris to beat cahirat home as cahirs results have been horrific.
the rest are obvious.

Peake Villa will not beat Celtic,not in a million years,wishful thinking,Cahir was a massive 6 pointer that takes the heat off but Celtic is a whole different proposition

[rushy12]

here is Lawro's predictions
Peake draw
wilderness win
cashel draw
town win 6 0 or 6 1!
saints win 3 or more the usual in the league
borris to draw with cahir

im hoping for 2 or more results to test my knowledge of the TSDL!

They are Munster Junior Cup games so there has to be outright winners so there will not be any draws and i do not think we need to see any results to know what your knowledge of the league is

[rushy12]

Ah yes jeff speaks...a hint of sarcism but good, well done jeff.but these games can end in a draw after 90?or is it 80? as I have said I know nothing about football, I am on this to ask peolpe like you, who do know about football, interesting questions..as your last post says "celtic have no chance of reaching last 16" a bit harsh on them, you also stuck your neck out with your knowledge by saying saints have a realistic chance...good call you..

[republican]

I think you'll find comeonnowtown that Coady got called up to a training camp at the end of the 08/09 season the year St. Peter's beat you in the Semi-Final in Cooke Park. He then left to join Carrick and received his cap but would have been capped even had he stayed at Town. He left Town that year along with a host of players. I consider a call up to be when you are invited to training like Jimmy Carr (St. Mich's) got called up to training this season but didn't receive a cap yet. Your man from Athenry was actually John Mernagh and Mernagh was already on the international team whilst at Athenry but had to relocate to Limerick for work reasons and signed for saints during this time. He then left saints to join Athlone Town in the LOI. (I heard chalkie pushed that deal thru aswell) lol.

You seem to have all the answers except the Alan Barry one becuase that got messy,he didnt keep his mouth shut and exposed what was going on,he came for his cap and left and has been huge success in Limerick but cant get a look in as he upset James Walsh

[ComeOnTownNow]

aww poor fella, imagine doing such a thing :) coady got his cap while at carrick too, thats a fact, he did not get it while at Town

[footballfanatic]

Borris beat cahir 3nil and celtic beat villa 3-1 aet.
any more scores?

[stelling]

i dont have all d answers tipp top just stating some facts. i dont know all d facts about d alan barry situation so will not comment. you still havent explained how tony scully was capped if its only st michaels dat get capped???. comeonnowtown u should read my previous post again in relation to coady.. im not on here to slag off clonmel town fc dey are an outsatnding club i hope i didnt offend u. my initial comment was dat i didnt tink barry ryan was gud enuf to play international. i tink der are 5 centre forwards in tsdl better than him. paul kennedy, ted o connor, pat quinn, quinn perry, mick ryan. anyone else agree wit me??

Ha Ha thats probably the most ridiculous post i have ever read on foot.ie, Ted O Connor has played at a very high level so thats ok but the rest of the players mentioned are ridiculous, Mick Ryan is a midfielder who works very hard but doesnt score goals and Kennedy does reasonably well but the other 2 are completely useless,you see its fine not liking Barry Ryan but you lose all your credibility with silly statements,if you had of left it at you dont think hes good enough for international football a lot would maybe agree but now we think you probably know exactly how could he is but just dont like him,he is easily the top marks man in tipp,goals prove that,only Kennedy comes close in terms of goals scored so please grow up and make sensible arguments,we will all benefit from it

An embarrassing post,not really worth arguing with someone like you,Ted is a class player but the rest are average,i dont think any of them have won TSDL player of the year or played league of Ireland or scored 30 goals year in year out, a disappointing post,lowers the standard of debate on the site,it is ruined since guys like you have come on board

[footballfanatic]

here are the results, i didnt do to bad did i with my predictions ;)

Clonmel Celtic 3 Peake Villa 1 (AET)
Wilderness Rovers 4 Moyglass United 2
Old Bridge 3 Cashel Town 1
Clonmel Town 4 Bansha Celtic 1
Two Mile Borris 3 Cahir Park 0

Paul Kennedy has scored over a hundred goals in the last four seasons and also won the tsdl player of the year.

pointless even commenting on this post....sad

[hooper74]

Paul Kennedy has scored over a hundred goals in the last four seasons and also won the tsdl player of the year.

i definitely would not knock kennedy and ryan has the same if not more

[bishbash]

Is that not the point thought i'd agree the players stated above would get into a team above barry ryan. not saying he is not a good player just not better than those with the exception of quinn perry.

[West Hammer]

I would not put of Republican from posting as most of his post's are hilarious and even make my post's look intelligent!!

[ponyobrien]

So the 3rd round of the Munster is as follows:

Two-mile Borris v Clonmel Celtic
Wilderness Rovers v St. Michaels
Cashel Town v Clonmel Town

[ComeOnTownNow]

i dont think anyone could argue with tony scully getting an international call up but for a team who won 6 leagues, 2 cups, 1 munster and have contested 4 munster junior finals, 2 fai semi finals and 2 munster senior semi finals over the past 7 years and only have 1 international call up to show for it is a complete joke, anyone agree with me?

im not goin to slag any of clonmel town's players, barry ryan has been a massive boost since he re-signed 2 last year, he does his very best on the pitch for town, has a bit of heart, we cannot ask for more

[ComeOnTownNow]

ya wud have to fancy michaels, town and celtic to pull through, wildies will give michaels a good rattle up there though, bridge might be tricky for town

bit harsh saying saying republican and newer lads on this forum lowers standard of debate , the more the merrier tsdl forum was boring when there was only a few of us posting here, great having few extra on here if you ask me, and megatots you call it an embarressing post get a grip we all have our views on the game everyone intitled to opinion,
1 barry played loi with kilkenny city it was not premier loi football , it was loi div 1 football with possibly the worst loi team in last 15 years. james mulligan, colin bargary, timmy kiely, ken kiely are all ex loi div 1 players and none have set tsdl on fire so does that make your post ridiculous saying cause barry did it makes him a better player.
2 republican then said he reckoned barry ryan was not as good as 5 quality premier players if you ask any current premier division who would they rather mark pa quinn, mick ryan or barry, 90% would rather mark barry the other 2s pace is electric and are great team players, defenders nightmares barry is markable in my opinion
3 ted o connor is class act , paul kennedy similar type player to barry and equally as good a player, in my opinion best finisher in tsdl. and last player republican mentioned is quinn perry another top player Tsdl div1 player of the year twice, single handedly makes galbally competitive premier team without him they would be div2-3 team.

so i actually find repblicans post good , thats my 2pence worth anyway, and just to prove im neutral in debate look at my previous posts i have defended barry in the past when others have slated him.

with reference to todays results cashel and cahir losing again to lower level oppisition , they really are underperforming this season

[footballfanatic]

So the 3rd round of the Munster is as follows:

Two-mile Borris v Clonmel Celtic
Wilderness Rovers v St. Michaels
Old Bridge v Clonmel Town
hardly a rule that the bigger club has to have an away tie or is that just the luck of the draw.
should be no shocks here i would imagine.
what was the celtic-villa game like? have villa improved or were celtic not at there best.

[ponyobrien]

It's luck of the draw. The first 3 rounds are drawn at the beginning.

Both Celtic and Villa were poor today. Had it been a league game, a draw would have been a fair result.

Tony deserves to be a regular, Aaron should have got a call up before he went to St. Michaels and Raymie is as good as, if not better than Chalkie.

Ha Ha well said

[Insidetherock]

Just to clarify a result lads, Cashel Town beat Old Bridge today 3-1, not the other way around. The mistake seems to have managed to find its way onto the TSDL site, but it's Cashel at home to Clonmel Town in the next round, not Old Bridge.

As for Cashel's chances, if they play the way they played against them in the league, they could beat them. They were very unlucky to be undone by a late goal on the break after Richie Ryan had made a number of fantastic saves to keep Clonmel in the game.

Cashel always lift their game for the likes of Saints and Town,its a better draw for them than playing a so called minnow

[footballfanatic]

that sounds better insidetherock, should be a good game in cashel. borris and celtic has the makings of a good one aswell but michaels should win the other tie.

[balls]

was thinking that result seemed abit dodgy i knew oldbridge had not exactly set division 1 alight, cashel will definatly give town a decent game, whatever the outcome of the game is we will have 3 very strong teams from tsdl in open draw with saints and celtic favourates to come through other ties

Apologies. I got the result from TSDL site.

[nononsense]

Regarding junior internationals, wasn't Clonmel Town goalkeeper Stephen O'Neill capped for Republic of Ireland? Also, I know Clonmel Town's Cyril Conran won Junior player of the year (maybe around 1994 but not sure - did he win any international caps?

Yeah but I think the issue here is Chalkie's influence over the international management. They played before his time

[footballfanatic]

What club was ken ryan with when he got capped?

[cufc champions]

why did cashel youths give carrick youths a walk over yesterday?

[footballfanatic]

probably had the fear of gettin an unmerciful beating.

[balls]

maybe they couldnt get team together lads at that age group are a nightmare to manage when team is struggling, they will come up with every excuse possible not to show for a game

[stelling]

What is happening with the oscar traynor team,they play saturday week and nobody seems to be aware of a squad or a manager?

[West Hammer]

Squad as follows: Taken from TSDL SITE

ClonmelTown: Ritchie Ryan, John Shanahan, Tony Scully, Ian Barnes, Barry Ryan
Clonmel Celtic: Andrew Cosgrave, Graham Doyle, Paul Kennedy, Ian Fraher
Wilderness Rovers: Sean O’Hara
Peake Villa: Alan Leahy, Michael Ryan
St.Michael’s:Derek Breen, Jimmy Carr,ChristopherHiggins, Paul Tobin, Ross Cosgrove,Thomas Fahy, Ritchie Ryan, Paraic Fogarty

[West Hammer]

ALSO TAKEN FROM TSDL SITE - - Mike O’Brien has been appointed manager of the TSDL Oscar Traynor Trophy team
Mike O’Brien has vast experience in the junior game. He has been assistant manager of the Irish Junior/Amateur team for over a decade and is a former St. Michael's manager.
The TSDL who kicks off their 2010/11 campaign against the Munster Senior League at Cooke Park, Tipp town on Saturday13 Nov at 7.30 will be out to improve on last season’s performances by making the knock-out stages.
Mike, has attended many of the TSDL games over the years, and knows that there is plenty of talent in this league and believes this squad has the potential to repeat the success of 2003 when the famous Oscar Traynor Trophy came to the Premier County

[footballfanatic]

Whats the best startin 11 out of them ye think?
ill go with:
breen
higgins---???---leahy---tobin
carr---scully---barnes
-------foggy---------
barry ryan-----paul kenneddy

what ye reckon?
where does o hara of the wilderness play?

[ComeOnTownNow]

i wud put seanie o'hara in the top 3 strikers in the league, with all respect to the wilderness and all they have achieved so far, if seanie was playin for the bigger club it wudnt be long before he wud get an international call up, a real talent, old style centre forward, in a time where decent centre forward like the old aaron moroney, billy lambe and tommy hewitt to name a few, he could be as good

anyone share my sentiments?

[ComeOnTownNow]

i only see one recognized centre half in the squad which is leahy unless your goin to put shanahan or tobin there, where is breen and chawkie?

[West Hammer]

Breen is still injured, don't know about Chawkie

[balls]

seanie o hara is quality a big man with pace and plenty of skill.
my starting 11 from that squad would be
1 r ryan 2 p tobin 3 c higgins 4 j shanahan 5 a leahy 6 j carr 7 i barnes 8 andy cosgrove 9 s o hara 10 t scully 11 ross cosgrove

players missing from squad apart from breeno and chalkie who would add quality in my opinion would be marky power, mikey comerford, donal duggan, ted o connor, colin bargary. sign of how good celtic are now that they have 4 on panel and could easily have another 2 or 3.
other players who would be worth a shout if lads pull out would be richie ryan saints, michael coleman cashel or stokes saint nicholas s striker has a bag of goals already this season
