Tipp South & District League 2013/14

I see Cashel have 3 suspended now, just in time for their fixture against St. Michaels next week. If they win the league in this manner they should hang their heads in shame. Maybe it's time for clubs to think about joining other leagues that are run fairly.

[complexman]

To be fair, It's not st Michaels fault. Have Celtic written to the league or higher Pony? Plus Celtic also need to address their disciplinary record

[qwertyabu]

well said complexman.... still enough people on the tsdl committee to change things if THEY want to, only 1 from saints

big yawn. jealous maybe because saints are still in all competitions and your dream team squad are out of everything??? we have been in yer position and will be in the future and begrudgery will get you nowhere.

[SgtBilko]

Why should St Michaels hang their heads in shame, get a grip, a horrific post, its nothing to do with the players, lay your blame somewhere else! St Michaels are a far superior side with plenty of depth in their squad. Even with full outfits the Cooke Park men would dispose of Celtic and ourselves. Hoping for a good game today in Cooke. best of luck to David and the team!

[Mikebasset087]

Are saints down a few bodies today?

[complexman]

League well and truly over after Towns draw with Cahir. We created some good chances especially in 2nd half. Fair play to Cahir's keeper who pulled off some great saves. Michaels would want to really implode not to win it from here.

[Celticsup]

Hearing Celtic are missing over half the team this week. Players heading off on a stag. Any truth in what I'm hearing.

Heard that too. Not sure how many are gone or who exactly

[balls]

Have they given walkover

[complexman]

Apparently so. It's poor form that they couldn't/ wouldn't fulfil the fixture. I noticed yesterday that there was no mention on their webpage about the match.

[balls]

There are smaller clubs scraping teams every week in tsdl and will always fulfill fixture by hook or by crook. Dissappointing that a big fixture like this goes to wayside

[Celticsup]

It's a shame that this should happen. It's these game's a lot of people look forward to every season. From what I heard, the manager was made aware of this stag well in advance and never acted and this how this situation happened. Maybe the usual Cetlic guys that are on here can throw some light on how this could happen.

[complexman]

The Celtic lads will come on here and blame the league and then have a go at me for my "snide" remarks.

[footballfanatic]

clonmel celtic giving clonmel town a walk over, now that bates banagher, i have heard it all now. is there no pride out there anymore? i thought clonmel was a proud soccer town...

Celtic can only blame themselves for allowing this to happen. They can't blame the TSDL in this situation. I do think the Celtic lads had every right to voice their concerns on how the TSDL desciplinary committe carry out the suspensions process. It is only fair that a player who has received a fourth yellow that he is suspended for the next game and not a couple of games later. Have to say the TSDL seem to have taken this approach over last couple of week's as we are seeing player suspensions weekly on the TSDL website. This can only be good and fair for the game in TSDL.

[Celticsup]

I see on the TSDL website that this game is listed as OFF. Does anyone know what the story with this game is it off or a walkover for town. Nothing on Celic website.

[complexman]

I hear Cashel only had a scratch team today. At least they had the decency to fulfil the fixture unlike Celtic.
Michaels on a great run. What odds on them winning 4 trophies this season

[complexman]

Just read an apology and explanation on the Celtic webpage. Fair enough and well done to them for that. Hopefully the game can be refixed

[tipp man]

Well done to Saints. Great result against Carew.

[footballfanatic]

yes great result this could be there year, i hear sheriff squeezed through on penalties and also heard michaels are home to sheriff next day out??

where will that be on? cahir maybe

clonmel going by the web site

[k-dog9]

Michaels have the title in the bag. The relegation battle will be more interesting

[complexman]

Tipp FM are a disgrace. St Michaels make it through to the FAI junior cup semi final, Clonmel Town u-13's are in national cup semi final and it got about three minutes on extra time last night. It's a Gaa station, the treatment of other local sports is a disgrace. They give minimum attention to local soccer. In comparison to other local stations they are miles behind in terms of local sport coverage.

True (have I actually agreed with Complexman on something ;)). I think however you should send your email to Tipp FM as you're preaching to the converted here. Actually what is more disgraceful is that they don't have the decency to explain why they don't invite the TSDL PRO onto the programme anymore. Until they do explain his omission (he is after all PRO for TSDL) I think all clubs should boycott 'Extra Time'. Liam Browne is a decent guy doing a good job. He gets air time on about 2 to 3 programmes and then is 'dropped' with no explanation. (Maybe they did explain but if so I missed it. I switch off most times lately as it's hard to listen to 30/40 mins of incoherent GAA gibberish)

Ha ha. I think you will find we agree on more things than we disagree. I think it's pointless contacting Tipp FM. Soccer is way down on their list. The Tipp hurling managers brother is the boss, so it would be a waste of time

[rightboy]

Lads , what's gone on with Celtic, no show tonight against saints !

phone call to say they had no team. I guess they had people who work and could not field a strong enough 11 against saints. maybe someone knows the real reason might explain pls

They should have fielded. Not good enough. Did the same v Town. For a club that is striving to be one of the biggest in the country, they aren't going about in the right way. I heard at work today that they were struggling but I really thought they would at least get 11 or 12 bodies. I'm sure Michaels aren't happy. Imagine the league will fine them. Feel sorry for Karl and Kenny. Two good guys but they have been let down badly

[biglad101]

Its a disgrace if you ask me league champs to not been able field a team. serious work needs to be done to sort this out makes the league out to be a joke.

[balls]

Very poor reflection on premier league in tsdl with all these walkovers. Did cahir park fail to field versus saints aswell early in the week or was that off over something else

[complexman]

It's know way to behave. Clubs should be fined. Clonmel Celtic are league champions and I would expect better but maybe they just could not get the lads together. They have been going on for the last two years about this massive squad, well where was it last week. Still we are seeing more and more of it and clubs need to try harder to fulfil these fixtures. It's not fair on the other teams. TSDL need to look at ways of trying to ensure thus doesn't happen again.
It will be interesting to see what Celtic say about it and how the league react.
Also I heard that Jamie was stepping down as Town manager. I think he is doing the correct thing, he has had three years but you just sense it's as far as he can go with them. Just hope he can go out on a high with a Tipp cup

[qwertyabu]

mid week games must be hard on clubs with players working, just my opinion that's all. I think the tsdl should look at it in the future. could celtic not play on the sat night.

[bishbash]

I don't think Clonmel Celtic will do anything other than apologise. They had been led to believe that they would have enough to play the game on Friday night but through other circumstances some players became unavailable shortly before they were due to depart leaving them in a position where they could not get replacements in time. There were a number of injuries and players who we're working but the club believed it could still fulfil the fixture. Some people have implied that the club made a decision to simply not bother with the fixture which is not true whatsoever. The club is disappointed & tried everything to avoid this situation but it was a case of simply not having enough players, 8 on the night, to travel. I don't believe any club wants to not fulfil its duties and Clonmel Celtic as much as anything is disappointed that this was the case. To address complexman on his comment about the club having a massive squad, if you have 30 players but only 8 are available with an hours notice what can the club do? As I said at the start all the club can do is apologise.

[complexman]

It's a shame fellas can't be arsed to make themselves available. I hear there was a mix up with the referee today in the bridge v Peake game, the match had to be called off. I played Sunday league in England and if you didn't fulfil a fixture you were fined, then docked points.

[complexman]

The league is a farce.

[biglad101]

Best of luck to St Michaels sunday, glad to see the league have
put all games on early.

[footballfanatic]

when is peake villa-oldbridge going to be played, just looking at the table now, that is huge.

[biglad101]

Think its been played on sunday.

[balls]

Best of luck to saints on Sunday. Hopefully a bumper crowd at the game

[footballfanatic]

i will try get there myself, put a few euro on them today so hopefully be able to collect on way home.
best of luck

[complexman]

Just found out I am working Sunday, raging that I'm going to miss Fai semi. Best of luck to Michaels

[footballfanatic]

nice to see a return of "el classico" next year.

[biglad101]

El classico?

[the wombat]

El classico?

Ah yes I believe he means the borris v villa. More important not to lose those derbies than anything else around thurles. Shame it will be for points at the wrong end of the table these days though

[footy.fan]

fair play to glengoole finishing 4th

[tipp man]

Saints win cup. 1-0 winners over Town at the Complex. Russell Quirke with a late free kick.

Funny game tonight , saints probably shaded it but lack of atmosphere was apparent and played like preseason friendly with no bite , great goal to win it but town keeper won't be happy

[pateen]

All very quite here on the Junior Cup final on Sunday.
Best of luck to the St Micks

[complexman]

Heard that Paul Scully is new manager of Clonmel town. That's a great choice. Let's hope he can restore the good times back to the complex
