[WizardOnTheWing]

Fair play to Cloughjordan for giving us a really tough game yesterday.They defended fantastically for the whole game, the pitch didnt help any team but we deserved the win in the end.. Best to luck to them for the rest of the season.

[Minesapint]

well done to the limerick teams yesterday, wembley are flying it at the moment,

[Pearoso27]

The first broomstick Paddy had was called the Nimbus Two Thousand. But at one Quidditch match at Hogwarts in Paddys third year, Paddy got attacked by Dementors and he went unconcious and fell off his broom. Then the broom flew away into the whomping willow... And that tree doesn't like being hit. So as Paddys first broom got smashed to bits, his godfather, Sirius, sent him a Firebolt!

Did Midleton win last night?

[passandmove]

Midleton won 3 2 aet.

[hotspur]

Midleton won 3 2 aet.
Pike were screwed,it was pike b by the way KUFC,they had to wait till 8oclock for the floodlights to be fixed,match fixed for 7,they had to stand around in the dark in their gear waiting for midleton to get diesel,a joke is all it was,

why did they wait so long , surely ref should have abandonded game after 30 mins max wait

[hotspur]

why did they wait so long , surely ref should have abandonded game after 30 mins max wait
The ref would'nt make the call,and no one from MFA there to call it,a pike player also racially abused at ht walking to the dressing rooms by a midleton player and the pike player reacted by throwing a ball at the player and the ref gave the red card to the pike player,piike have no problem getting beaten but in the manner that they did was absolutely scandalous,the officials did everything in their power to stop pike winning,

[passandmove]

Nothing worse to be fair,happened us few years back in a quarter final against nenagh away when they scored a goal in injury time that was a country mile offside.It caused a near riot after the game which was a shame cause nenagh were a good bunch of lads,tough luck on the pike lads.

[republican]

at what stage of munster does it become neutral officials?? i know fai is last 16. thats a very hard one for pike to take now also if a player was racially abused they should report it further because thats not on at all.

It was reported to ref assessor who was at the game and will also be reported to the MFA,and midleton fc,who know already as the player in question was taken off after it happened,

Disgraceful

[hotspur]

Obviously you not at d sme hotspur,midletons flood light failed over a faulty gauge in generator,midleton did everything to accommodate pike rovers,they put the lights on in all weather so both teams could do warm up for game while generator being fixed,and it was only 30mins waiting not a hour,plus midleton player wasn't taking off until the 70th minute that was involved in the incident,which was totally fabricated by pike player,astonishing really to be honest.also I was speaking to a pike supporter and he said it was no surprise to see that player involved,also pike had two sent off plus should have had another two,also given a penalty for nothing aswell,so find this match report from pike unbelievable....outrageous accusations to b making may I add!!
Firstly,what time did game kick off?kick off was supposed to be at 7.secondly yere keeper hauled down the pike centre forward after he went around him,spot kick given and a yellow for the keeper which should have been a red.oh by the way the reason the lights werent working was because ye had no diesel to which one of ye went away to get a drum of diesel,which somebody should have checked before a team travelled down,and also there was a racist remark made to one if the pike players and you can deny it all you like but it was said and it was heard by others being said,ye also got a pen for nothing and i wont even go in to the officials cause id be here all night,and i dint think any pike supporter sain anything to you about the pike player because there is no way that this guy would make it up,now go back to yere own player and ask him what did he say,it was a disgrace that pike had to wait round for ye go way and get diesel,and by the way pike had 3 sent off,you not remember the physio being sent off or were you at the game,and by the way a phsio should not be sent off for your info.

sore losers lads..you were well beaten, after 25 mins pike were blowing steam and couldnt keep up with the midleton team. these allegations have come around because the lad from midleton had cleaned out the pike rovers right back and he was getting tired after kicking him and chasing him around for 45 mins. ye later had a second lad sent off. After that the pike lads showed their true colours and began to kick out at the midleton boys every chance they got and should have had another few sent, but you prob dont remember that because the main excuse for the LOSING team are these ridiculas allegations...p.s lights were out for 45mins and no longer, which did not seem to bother your supporters who had plenty of beers, alco pops etc in supply to keep them busy for their short wait...better team won get over it!!!!

whats a 'phiso'?? situation with the lights was very unfortunate but unforseen as the diesel gauge was stuck and it read 3/4's full, was only after a technician discovered this the problem was quickly solved! lights went out 5 mins before kick off and both teams were left in to the all weather pitch to keep warm until situation was rectified! 7.25 lights were on game started at 7.36.. a whole 36 mins delay which the ''vocal'' pike 'fans' seemed not too bothered with as it gave them a chance to continue there word record attempt of liquid consumption:-) midleton keeper should of gone for the spotter, and pike should never have thrown away the game from being 2-0 up, first red card was correct and was just a continuation of the player involved as he was having a very poor game and was being tortured all through the first half and his only answer was to foul time and time again as he was not up to the challenge, then he goes and try's to be clever and threw the ball and the midleton players face to try and get a reaction but was rightly seen by the official and sent off, as i was right there i can tell you now that you are either lying, or have been fed the wrong info..., i hope its the latter! was no vulgarity of the description that you are insinuating and for you to come on here without the correct information is nothing short of a disgrace and shows a lack of moral judgement and courage! 2nd red was because the player lost the head for 2mins and got booked twice in that time.. is it midletons fault that pike left themselves lose a game that they should of won?? is it their fault that the pike winger was STUPID and RECKLESS in his decision to throw the ball at the face of the player?? dont think the pike management helped alot and were very poorly behaved, and that is why the person was ejected from the dugout! trying to influence the officials by goading and roaring all night, the game had to be stopped after all to deal with this did it not?? it is always easier to blame every one else for your'e own failings (which i have been guilty of in the past) but maybe you should look at your'e own doorstep first and question your'e own integrity?? or is that to close to home for you?? must say the pike players left on the pitch produced a great effort and deserved more from the game than what they got, i would hate to be in that young lads shoes as he knows his actions were at the root of his teams collapse and he left his club down badly! and then to make it worse by lying and using the suarez/evra situation to try and get away with it is laughable!! hope ye had a good journey home and finished off ye're 12 slab's of beer in style!

[magicman]

sore losers lads..you were well beaten, after 25 mins pike were blowing steam and couldnt keep up with the midleton team.

Wasn't at the game but this line seems a bit rich...... Couldn't keep up and blowing steam after 25 minutes? They went 2-0 up, scoring the second with only 10 men. The home team equalised with a penalty near the end and only got the winner near the end of extra time when Pike had 9 men?

That sounds as sour as you are claiming Pike to be. Now I'm far from a Pike fan, I've often criticised them on this site but there are a number of questions to be answered here.

Pike would have arrived at the venue at the very latest at 6pm. What time was the floodlight fault spotted? Surely this should have been spotted much earlier in the day?

Someone said the first Pike red card was for throwing the ball at a player?? If that is true then the referee has a case to answer. Other decisions/red cards during play I won't comment on. Decisions like that are always argued between people even when clear cut.

Have Middleton made any comment, officially, regarding the alleged abuse? If it is untrue then the player in question should be facing a ban. If it is true then I hope the book is thrown at both player and club and they are made a severe example of.

The talk about how the game went reminds me of Corbally U-17's a few years ago when they went down to Maymount and got absolutely screwed by the referee. If I remember correctly the Corbally keeper was punched by a supporter when they invaded the field with Corbally leading. Referee refused to call off the game, Maymount won and Corbally's complaints fell on deaf ears when the club should have been thrown out...... I know it has nothing to do with the above, I'm just saying what it reminds me of!

Was at it lights were working perfect,up until five mins before game,all I no is club rang a engineer to solve problem,turned out full gauge stuck at half full,which was nearly empty,not much ya can do to avoid that!

Not going to argue about it anymore,it did happen and the player that was abused is not a liar believe you me,he was having a mare?how many balls did he put across yere box the time he was on the field,and ye say pike were puffing after 20 mins,they could and should have been 3 up before ht.even with the 10 men they still should have won.now ill leave it at that,

Right lads, don't know if some of ye who are commenting were at the match or not but a lot of bull**** has been mentioned. Was down there watching as a neutral. With the floodlight situation, if that happened in Turners Cross or Jackman Park nothing would be said. Lights were out for about 45mins. You get on with it, things like this happen. With the Pike peno, can honestly say it was no way a peno. I was standing directly behind the goals. For the racist remark, was too far away from the incident so can't comment on that... I think the Pike player who was sent off at half time was probably the best player on the pitch in the 1st half. Pike should of been out the gate at half time. Midleton didn't turn up until the last 20mins and don't think they deserved to win the match to be honest. If midleton turn out a performance like that next weekend I can honestly say Ballymun could send down there youth team and still be out the gate at half time....

[da General]

I was at the game and I can safely say that a racist remark was said by the Middleton player regardless of how the match finished up the pike did not have any luck during the night where it be around the lights going out or bad officials the matter in question is more serious, that a player who my opinion was having a good game and well on top was racially abused. There was about 20 witnesses to the comment as it happened on the sideline and if Middleton can say this did not happen says a lot for Middleton fc as a club and community. And for Middleton supporters to make judgement on pike supports I will say don't throw stones in glass houses. You should have a good look at one of your own players. Kick racism out......

[Mr.Reliable]

I would love to know how ye have 20 witnesses to this so-called racist slur! I was positioned between the two dugouts when the "incident" happened. I was watching and attempting to hear what was being said but couldn't. Yet there are 20 Pike supporters who are witnesses, yet all pike supporters where in the covered stand in the first half which is a another 30 yards away from where i was standing so about 40 yards from where the incident happened. Brilliant stuff lads, ye have a solid case! Be proud

All pike supporters were not in the covered stand by the way,most of them were down by the dugouts,i think now this has got enough airplay,and let both clubs deal with it whatever way they want to.

I would love to know how ye have 20 witnesses to this so-called racist slur! I was positioned between the two dugouts when the "incident" happened. I was watching and attempting to hear what was being said but couldn't. Yet there are 20 Pike supporters who are witnesses, yet all pike supporters where in the covered stand in the first half which is a another 30 yards away from where i was standing so about 40 yards from where the incident happened. Brilliant stuff lads, ye have a solid case! Be proudWhen I say 20 witnesses that includes players, pike dugout and Middleton dug out and a linesman who turned a blind eye

Firstly, its Midleton, with one d, not 2. And no, all pike supporters where in the covered stand, because I knew every single person who was between me and the incident. Stop lying. How is it that even though there where so many witnesses, there was no reaction from anyone, and I mean anyone. Not even the Pike player thought to mention there was a racist remark until well after he had been sent off. Thats when everyone amazingly heard it too.Very convenient altogether. He knew he did something absolutely ridiculous to get sent off and is just trying to justify it. Oh he doesn't lie, he wouldn't lie, my arse, everyone lies. And Booster 03, id love if yer first team could play our first team, but wait, we are a senior club so that can't happen. Pity. And "da general", you can safely say there was a racist remark, how? did you hear it? No because no-one did, why??because it never happened. After the incident, I heard that yer player had been called many different racist slurs from pike fans. But none of them the same, strange that isn't it. Why are Pike rovers fans insisting on embarrassing themselves by making up stories, many stories, to try and explain why they lost a match that they should have won. Man up the lot of ye and take defeat on the chin.
