[QUOTE=shelbourne1904;604333]The best ever.What a bunch of complete *******s this james Gate are.Newtown estimate they have lost at least 2000x5Euero =10000 on thre fact these idiots could not be bothered travelling.

will you elaborate on how newtown lost 2000x5euro=10000

i think you put a couple of 0's too many....i'd say the fai cup final wud be lucky to get 1500 watching it...

totally agree wit you that they should be punished..its a disgrace to be in last 64 and not show...

The last time Netown got to last 16 and last 8 the gate was 3200 people in Caimans.The away game had 500 travel to Buttevant.

I've been following all this talk about Newtown's run in the FAI Junior. It certainly is a good achievement. However I don't think they have the bottle when it comes to a real battle judging by their performances against Corofin in the cup in the last two years. When the going got tough they simply couldn't handle it.

Fair point,
But have to say that last 2 years are gone and we are much different team this year with alot of new players.We have come from behind in our last few FAI games and won "albeit on penos" and we have home advantage so hopfully we can take care of Salthill Devon. Saying that it all boils down to who wants it more on the day and i'd presume Salthill are a step up from our previous apponents but i think we still have a good chance.Sure we'll keep plugging away.

Fair point we did throw away both matches but I wouldn't get carried away calling them battles...we were just pure sh!te on both days, ye were a little bit better and fair play. This years team has a lot of new players along with new management. We'll be in a similar postion as corofin in the cup - underdogs - and that will suit us fine.

We won it for the month of November. It was between the Youths and the A team. Both unbeaten in November and i'd say the FAI thing has something to do with aswell

Are you looking forward to Sunday? As always should be close game, with chance to progress into open stage of MJC. Hope the weather clears a bit

The match Between Bunratty and newtown has been moved to woulf park bunratty..k.o 11.am

close game in poor conditions as predicted. Bunratty battled hard and were always in the game without creating any clear cut chances. Newtown spurned a few good chances to close out the game but defended quite well and won it with cheeky mc Donald's deflected shot. Bunratty have a very strong side for the 1st Div and should come up as champions. Newtown away to liselton/kerry in last 32 MJC next sunday.

[CousinSylDolan]

With sending off's, substitutions and other delays corner should have been taken at least. Hacker may be right... Ref was freezing.

Papa, dont know how you can say Bunratty had no clear cut chances. One was from 3 yards out when one of the youths players slipped and missed an open goal. Scales was robbed in the last minute also. Super save from Newtown keeper and still a mystery as to why it was blown up exactly on 45 mins.

I thought the sending off off Lillis was harsh. Bit foolish from him but rough play is not a sending off, raising your hand to another player is. Ref took the easy option though.

Good hard fought game and both teams battled well. Bunratty can be happy they performed while missing 4 1st team players but youth lads that came in did well. They will need to show that spirit now in the lg games. Newtown will be very happy with the result as they were missing a few also. Best of luck to them next week in Kerry.

what is the ballycar pitch like? is there a chance that this game could be postponed or moved to Doora?

[Young Lad]

Just wondering what will happen with the Burren and Rock game that was abondoned. I assume it was due to weather conditions. A replay is a likely outcome?

[old git]

what is the ballycar pitch like? is there a chance that this game could be postponed or moved to Doora?

couple of mile outside newmarket on shannon side .. up a little country lane ... very tight pitch .. newmarket only using untill their home ground has work carried out on it.. knowing newmarket they will do everything possible to play game here .. really depends on how bad the weather is for rest of week.. you are in for a tough game :ball: :ball:

Yes scales was unlucky, great dribble and decent shot. great save by Skinny.I thought skinny did well to close down the other chance and put your player off. They were the only sniffs at goal I can remember. Sending off was stupid for both players and was handbags at dawn really.harsh on Lillis but if you keep getting into those situations then the odds are you'll get a red card. We were happy with the win as in these games form/league position goes out the window and considering we hadn't played since November we did ok.

[Carotheplayer]

yip my understanding is the game will be replayed.

it has to be. i was talking to one of the players last night and they agreed with N. Bennett (ref) that the conditions were just too extreme.

any match report on yesterdays defeat away to lissleton :ball: :ball:

lads any match report ?

[papa-j]

lads any match report ?

very close game, lots of effort from both sides on a poor surface. Lisselton started well and employed a long ball tactic bypassing midfield and hitting long balls to two big lads up front. Lisselton never managed to turn the early posession into chances and Newtown began to defend comfortly. Best chance of the game fell to Newtowns Derek Byrnes who did everything right but the keeper made a fantastic save. The game stretched more in the second half with both teams having a fair amount of posession without creating anything clearcut. Lisselton got the opener after 65 mins, a speculative cross was dropped by the Newtown keeper and the Lisselton centre forward tapped into the empty net. Newtown pushed for the equalliser
and were awarded a corner in injury time. All the newtown team, including the keeper pushed up and Lisselton managed too scramble the ball away to break down field and score with the last kick. There was a twist at the end when an official from Kerry pointed out that Lisselton allegedly had an illegal
player. This is being investigated by the Munster council and we await the outcome.

[Prem Rep!]

We had the same problem a few years ago in the FAI where we were told Lisselton had fielded an illegal player but nothing came of it. Why was Greg Deegan not playing, Did Trevor Maxwell make his debut.

[papa-j]

We had the same problem a few years ago in the FAI where we were told Lisselton had fielded an illegal player but nothing came of it. Why was Greg Deegan not playing, Did Trevor Maxwell make his debut.

Greg was working in Dublin and Trevor is cup tied. This info was brought to the officials attention straight after the game. We have to take it at face value and follow proceedures. The administrators must punish any offending club as its blatant cheating
