[Damnunited]

well fellow posters, im still in shock with pikes match last night.. for our best team to leak 5 goals is unreal, fair enough saints were really good and every thing went their way,but 5 1 is a bit of a joke .I thaught Ahern and moloney were very poor ,, just not good enough for this standard ,, they were really shown up last night,, couldnt understand why Cleary was taken off, have to say the little lad for saints on the wing is some player,, i think his name is carr...pike are so much better than this,, i just hope its only a once off freak result.. Connie will have his work cut out this week at training to get things rite for next weekends game, but i hope they get a good ole win and put things rite.. as i have said, still in shock

Went to the game last night. Thought myself that St Michaels were far more up for it and alot better too. They passed the ball alot better on the floor and 3 of the goals they scored were pure class. The third in fairness you wouldnt see on the telly. Great Football.
I will say that if it wasn't for their keeper though it could have been a different story. Stopped Pike from scoring on a few occasions from point blank oppurtunities. In my opinion pike lost the game in Midfield. Their 4 midfielders were bypassed all through the game. Hartnett touched it 5 times in the whole game. 5 times for a central midfielder is just not good enough. St Michaels on the other hand had a real solid back four, creative midfield with the left winger especially very good and no 10 played a great game when switched to midfield. 9 and 12 up front ran themselves into the ground for the full 90 mins and caused pikes back four alot of problems and for the goals tore them apart. Man of the match though had to be the keeper as he just was outstanding.
Last thing i thought it was a great idea for the munster council to drop the price from €8 last year to €5 last night.

A game were st micks won 5-1 and your man of the match was there keeper I don't know what game you were at. True he made a couple of good saves but there was some outstanding out field performances breen there centre half was outstanding along with there left winger. There no9 up front excellent

Your a gas man hiding behind your username when what u really want is the Pike job, hopefully you will win the oscar traynor and win something for once

[SeniorBlue]

Just back from Waterford, great gutsy performance by Wembley, pike could have learned alot from their determination, very unfortunate for the first they conceded, could have snatched it, haven see n the two semi St Michaels should win it but you never kow, Carick's keeper is a fine keeper and they will need him in the final.

[True Supporter]

Everyone from 1-15 had an off-day so there's no point criticizing them any further because they have proved over the season that they are good players and can perform on the big games.

P.S. I would like to say well done to Wembley for giving a good performance down in Waterford.

Is he the junior international keeper?

[irisheagle]

Yes the junior international keeper saved two in the shoot out and got his hands to another but it crawled over the line. Poor enough first half but Carrick looked good for most of the second half and should have added to their opening half goal. They hit the post and had other good oppertunities including one that most felt had crossed the line before the keeper clawed it out. Wembley made Carrick pay by equalising 5 mins from time. Carrick went in front again in the second peroid of extra time but moments later Wembely equalised from a penalty the award of which was harsh to put it mildly. Carrick took quality penalties in the shoot out, they were deserving winners without playing well. Big improvement required for the final.

Ha Ha your a GAS MAN i know the the Oscar Traynor Manager and he doesent even have a computer AND he has won everything in Junior football except an F.A.I. junior cup has Captained 2 Oscar Traynor winning teams and has played League of Ireland and if by chance he does win the O.T Trophy he will be the first to have played and managed a winning team.
O yeah and he does it all for free.

[MikeBassett]

Heard people on here talking up Mullins and Moloney for Irish caps if you were at the match tonight you would be wandering where they were.
Moloney was non existent only time you would see him was when he was argueing with the officials or rolling around the Ground.
Pike backline were tore apart you could see the goals coming some strange substituions by the Pike management.
Cleary taken off and Enright left on and also young Donovan starting dident do a whole lot.

In fairness to Moloney he battled hard on the night, he didn't have much to work with because of the persistant use of the long ball from Pike. Have to disagree with you on Mullins' performance, I thought him and Kavanagh were the only two Pike lads that tried all night and can hold their heads up. Surprised to see Cleary withdrawn as well, didn't think Enright was at his best. Michael's will win the final at a canter

Another great performance from 'keeper Adrian Walsh yesterday in Ozier Park in the penalty shoot out. Carrick could have rued their missed chances with Wembley equalising five mins from time in what was really their only clearcut chance. But the Limerick side battled well in a tough encounter ,once again, spoiled only by inept officiating re. the penalty decision.
Where were these officials from?

Damnunited is def not the Oscar traynor manager, you are way off there seniorblue and its bad form you trying to OUT people on an anonymous forum, there should be a rule against that, most people have an idea who other people are on this site and they respect the privacy of that person logging under a user name that doest have their actual name and that is respected by most of the other users but anyone that comes on here and accuses a user of been someone when they are not is DANGEROUS on any anonymous site and should not be allowed

I know who at least 5 people are on this site and out of common courtesy to them I wouldnt out them

anyone who is willing to OUT anyone on an anonymous forum should at least have the common courtesy of giving their real name also

[saintsfan]

Just want to say well done to Saints on Saturday night. As long as we are supporting them, I have never seen them play that well except maybe in the FAI semi final last year against Town. Just also want to point out the arrogance of some of the posts before this game by Pike people were unbelievable. May be now you have learned a lesson from this as no game was ever won before a ball was kicked on foot.ie! To say the least, this game finally put an end to what happened last year and to be fair to Connie, he went into Saints dressing room after game and stated this very fact. They were bet fair and square by the better team and he hopes Pike get another crack at the whip in the FAI but we will have to wait and see what happens as the Semi games will be huge for both teams to overcome. It was a proud night for Saints and we are delighted for them. Nothing is won yet and Carrick will be a huge test for them in the final which I think is pencilled in for the May Bank Holiday weekend. As regards the comments about a section of our supporters on Saturday night, Saints have very loyal supporters who would travel anywhere to see them play but unfortunately, when get to this stage of the season and you are still involved in cup competitions, the club attracts an element of supporters who only go to these games for "day out" - these so called fans wouldnt go to cooke park in the middle of January on a cold wet day to see Saints play in TSDL league. We cant do anything about this only to say we dont that kind of "fan" at a game. Any genuinue supporters who were near these people on Sat night would have told them to "shut up" A huge crowd travelled to Jackman Park on Saturday night from Tipperary and the support was great. The only down side playing in a Munster Final without Chalky is a huge blow for Club and for him. If Chalky got the line for kicking away the ball, surely, Mr. Barry should have got the line for an elbow to Breeno's jaw!

4-0 on 86 mins. Ray McMahon
came in for John Connery
with two minutes left
and promptly got booked.
Pike were awarded a penalty
with time up and Conor
Kavanagh made it 4-1 but

rounded off a great night
when he showed great skill

in any doubt after the
third saints score.

COMMENT: WE HAD HEROES
FROM ONE TO ELEVEN ON
THE NIGHT AS SAINTS
RESPONDED WELL TO THE
EARLY LOSS OF PAUL
TOBIN AND LOSING TALISMAN
SKIPPER JAMES WALSH IN
THE SECOND HALF. SAINTS
RESPONDED WELL TO PIKE'S
PHYSICALITY AND WERE
ALWAYS LIVELIER IN ATTACK.
PIKE WILL BEMOAN THE
LOSS OF TIERNEY AND
COLBERT BUT THEY HAD
NO PLAN B HERE AND THE
LONG BALL GAME WAS NEVER
GOING TO UNHINGE THE
EXPERIENCED SAINTS DEFENCE.
WE HAVE NOTHING WON YET
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE 34
WINS AND TWO DRAWS FROM
OUR 36 MATCHES TO DATE.
LOSING THE FINAL IN
TURNERS CROSS AS MADE
MEN OUT OF OUR TEAM AND
WE STOOD UP TALL LAST

WILL POSE A DIFFERENT

Is that the trevor cosgrave who played with the view?
The 2 ex balla lads will have enjoyed the win

[Damo]

Final will be played in ozier park in Waterford

Is that definite CUFC? And on May bank holiday?

[xpskid]

St.Michaels will be thought a footballing lesson on sat night the support for pike will be huge just like the score line. Pike have Alan Barry and Pat Moloney two of the countrys best strikers and harnett all of whom have over 80 goals between them how only 1 has being called up for Ireland is a joke. Good Luck Pike
Who was taught the footballing lesson??????? It was also very clear who the junior internationals were.You got one thing right,the scoreline was huge.

lol Good reply :)

[nononsense]

St.Michaels display was awesome but now time to move on. Good to see Saints mentors and players not going overboard. Officially the St.Michaels club make no comments on Foot.ie but heard some of them interviewed and they seem very focussed with comments re good win but no silverware won yet. They must remember it was just another game and Carrick as holders and in their third successive final will be a major test.

[cufc champions]

Is that definite CUFC? And on May bank holiday?

Waterford and Tipp junior league have a home & away agreement, we played town in cahir park last year therefore I believe it will be played in Ozier Park, the date is provisionally the May bank holiday weekend not sure if its saturday or sunday

[hoops38]

Well Done to St. Mick's who were full value for their win but I have to say to certain people on here slating Mike Ahern. I thought he was 1 of the the very few Pike men to come off with his head held high. He stopped two near certain goals with last ditch tackles also I don't think St. Mick's were 4 goals better than Pike. I agree Alan Barry should have saw red and also saints should have had a pen in 1st half but at 1-0, Pike missed few sitters and keeper made few great saves, the 2nd goal came from a throw in that should have been Pike's, few things that should have changed the game but I'm not taking away from saints performance on the night they fully deserved the win.

[hoops38]

Who did he play LOI with and who did he win a Munster Junior Cup with, I know he was part of the Pike team beaten 4-0 in Munster Final.

[Damo]

Cheers, best of luck in final and may the best team win.

[celticlads]

Was at saints v pike sat night and after reading some of the posts on here im just wondering were these people at the same game as i was. For me Mullins, Kavanagh and the right back tired their best for pike but without much support, Barry and Maloney just didnt get the ball to feet all night and were up against a very strong saints defense. Saints put in the best display ive ever seen from a junior side, Jimmy Carr was outstanding and some of the goals scored were top class, great team performance. Thought saints should ve had a peno, Barry should ve been sent of and chalkys was harsh because the whistle was very late. As for the possible FAI meeting i think it might be alot closer, overall the result flattered pike if anyone as it could ve been alot more.

Seem to remember saints fans causing hassle in Carrick last year so much so that there was an apology on the saints web site

[Pearoso27]

Seem to remember saints fans causing hassle in Carrick last year so much so that there was an apology on the saints web site
Im goin to do some research on this comment and get back to you because a lot of us went to the pub after the game in Carrick where the Carrick lads were and chatted and mingled with them. There was nothing mentioned then about it, there is a lot of work connections between the clubs and as far as i can recall there was only people there from Tipp Town that would have drove as i dont think there was any supporters buses organised.
I'll confirm or categorically deny this later!

[saintsfan]

Seem to remember saints fans causing hassle in Carrick last year so much so that there was an apology on the saints web site

As mentioned already, Saint Michaels people cannot be held responsible for some people that attend their bigger games, especially away games, these people are not genuine supporters and you cannot paint all people with the same brush. To my knowledge, one person ran onto a former Clonmel Town player who now plays with Carrick from the sideline after Saints scored and roared at him. I havent seen that person since at a game! the bulk of us that saw what happened were disgusted with him so much so, that an apology appeared on the website. as said already, there is nothing any club can do about this kind of support except to say we dont want that kind of people at games.

After watching St Michaels saturday night and after playing Carrick on sunday i reckon its St Michaels Cup this year.. St Michaels were awesome against Pike, 5 euro well spent.

After watching st micks sat night and after playing wembley on sunday i reckon its anyones final, no offence wizard but in the final its a different story anything can happen. ye are a nice team who can play sum good football and ye will do well in the premier next season.

Bobby D i wasnt trying to say Carrick were poor by any means, i just taught St michaels were like a senior team on saturday night and your dead right anything can happen in the final... Best of luck to ye in Final also, our game was very enjoyable to play in and ye have some keeper.. He was outstanding in the penalty shoot out. Can understand why he is the International keeper.

[republican]

i remember a few year's ago irisheagle fairview ranger's beat carrick utd in fai final in r.s.c and when the fairview bus was passing back through carrick a window got put through in the bus with a stone. im not saying that was a fan of carrick utd that did that but as was stated above alot of people go to these big games that are not genuine supporters and the club cannot be held responsible for act's of stupidity. i have never seen such act's occur in cooke park which show's the st michael's club with deal with the culprit's if acting badly in their name. p.s really looking forward to mjc final should be a very close game and great occasion between 2 outstanding club's.

[True Supporter]

Lads, every club has certain supporters that just come to the "big" away matches like all these fans don't even know where the Pike Field is!

That sort of conduct is not acceptable but is it advisable to parade through the town of the vanquished directly after a cup final and expect the locals to shower you with greetings?
Somehow I think not.
Aside from that here's looking forward to a great Munster Junior Cup Final played between two of the country's most successful sides of the recent past.

[blinkx]

Who was taught the footballing lesson??????? It was also very clear who the junior internationals were.You got one thing right,the scoreline was huge.

I wouldn't go counting your chickens yet. Only 1 game. End of story. You've been mouthing off for the last few days, I'd say everyone is in agreement that St.Mick's were the better team on the night and Pike didn't turn up. Your clearly not a St.Micks supporter. They'd have the class to drop it by now. Bitter about something I assume?!

No bitterness pal and I have not posted since Monday on this.I am not a Micks supporter but was just amused with the stuff that apparent Pike supporters said what they were going to do to Micks before this game.I did also state that this will be the best thing to happen to Pike in their quest to win the big one.

just reading some of the posts here from limerick people slagging off pike rovers,they have lost one game in 34 i believe and i'll bet there isint another team in the country that can boast that record,the likes of skyguy and blueboy who probably have'nt even seen pike play this year just make's me laugh,i heard they are involved with prospect united,so they cant really come on here slagging off pike rover's,just bitter little men,their on about the oscat traynor manager and how they know him so well,why dont they get him to manage their club,i believe he was actually there before,so maybe he might just be interested,they should worry about their own little club and let the big boy's get on with their business like challenging for fai's and mj's ect,i hope pike rover's do go on and win the fai and keep these boy's quiet for a while,

the last time I looked at the name of this site it was called foot.ie, were people give an opinion about football not an appreciation site to Pike, so like everyone else on this site, people are entitled to their opinions , even you and me, so build a bridge and trot on over it.

But just to keep you happy ill tell you Im not involved with any team I haven't played soccer in 4 years but have played with a few teams but now I like to watch a game every Sunday morning, I have seen only 1 prospect game since xmas, but I have seen the view beat pike. (sorry is that pike bashing again lol) I know who the Oscat (your word lol) Traynor manager is, sure everyone does, but I don’t know him personally and never have I said in any post that I know him, (post up were I have) so seeing that your man enough to make a false statement im sure you will be man enough to apologize for making it.

Also if all the other clubs in the premier had the same backing as Pike have then it would be good to see how successful pike would be, that’s one of the reasons People dislike them.

so post up the comment were I said I know the Oscat (your word lol)Traynor manager because I dont know him

Who cares? The final is all that matters now.

Too right! should be a great final, fantastic achievement by Carrick to make yet another munster final, but surely after that CRUSHING DEFEAT of PIKE, Michaels will be too strong. Although that's the magic of the cup, anything can happen. Good luck to both teams involves and hopefully we have a fantastic final in store!

I think Pike and Clonmel Town both thought they were too strong for Carrick last year as well, the squad is as resilent as they come will give Michaels one hell of a game in the final. Im looking forward to see Carrick taking on one of the best Junior teams I have seen, Hopefully we'll get 3/1 in the bookies just like the morning of the FAI Junior final 3 years ago.

And what backing would that be, players sign for Pike cos domestically they are the best side around for the last 5 years or so and you seem to speak alot for other people because you constantly quote people instead of yourself. Your knowledge of football is so strong you are not involved with any club but seem to have an obsession with explaining hatred towards Pike.

you keep saying that and we will belive it someday NOT, everyone knows why the players are with pike but we are not allowed to talk about it.

If your not going to bother keeping it on topic take it to PM's... Getting right boring at this stage. Utter drivel. Although it did make me laugh with the line
all blag and no backup...The Words Pot, Kettle, Black, seem to spring to mind. I'm sure you'll have some quick and hilarious reply for me though. You don't like Pike. Who cares. I certainly don't. Now get back on topic or give Joe Duffy a quick Buzz to air your problems (1850 715 815). The game ended almost a week ago now.

*On Topic*

We're down to 2 good teams. Who I'd like to wish the best to both, should be a cracking final. I'll hope to be able catch it. Have to give the nod to St.Mick's though I'd say. Managed to catch both Semi's and they seem the stronger outfit currently. Although in Cup Final's anything can happen. No odd's as of yet up on Paddy Power. It'll be interesting to see them.

[nononsense]

Saw St.Michaels play in Tipperary Cup quarter-final to-night (they beat Cashel Town 4-0) and now realise the huge loss Chalkey Walsh will be to them in the final. He was absolutely brilliant, and to crown a five star display scored the third goal. Saints major asset is their number of clean sheets which is mainly due to the central partnership of Breen and Walsh. Some headache for St.Michaels replacing him.

Thats what squads are for, one mans misery is another mans joy............

[footballfanatic]

Who will replace him do you think nononsence, they will probably need to experiment without walsh in the coming weeks without walsh. Will higgins go in center back, i cant imagine him being as comfortable there. Or have they a good center back on the bench somewhere?
