[hoops12]

Colm Enright was Man of the Match by a mile!


you were,nt too bad yourself

[hoops12]

pike totally better team purcell went out of the game after 20mins even fairview lads said hes finished cosgrove brutal shud have been taking off view to young and not strong enough for pike enright with pike shud have been sent off aswell and as for robbie hes so overweight its sad harnett,purcell+corbett best players on view corbett laid on the 3goals very underated

true enright could have got the line but the view must have conceded 20 odd frees in first half alone and not one booked til the hour mark,also purcell got off without even a booking for a blatant elbow on hartnett.

[Green_Hoop]

Its definately Pike's league to lose now,Only tough game left is Balla at home.

i think it would of been a different game if fairview had a full team,doyle was a big loss while kelleher had play even though he had the flu.it was just bad timing for fairview.pike should win the league now

[van der wheil]

I must have been watching a different game lads because i thought Jason Purcell was one of the better players on the pitch in what was a very very scrappy affair.

Is that an excuse I hear? Seiously Fairview were missing what 2 players at most?
Pike were without O'Grady(Suspended),Smackers(Ankle),J Enright(Ankle),3 starters on a full Pike team.Your right though if both sides had full players it would have been a different score line,more like 4-0 pike then 3-1...And I'd say Kelleher with/without the Flu would have taken the same time to turn around,looked more like the michelin man than Cristiano Ronaldo..

Pike had good preformances today in key places,Enright at the back,Hartnett/Corbett in the Middle and Moloney up front.Whereas Fairview simply didn't,Purcell for all his lauding on here,Was out done by a battered Hartnett,with Moloney and Boyler causing big problems at the back for Fairview...

apart from doyle who else was missing,pike had only 2 subs,o grady was a big loss as was jamie enright and we were also missing our first choice goalkeeper.

these games will always have aspects of scrappiness especially when there is so much at stake but i thought pike played some good football for their goals as was the build up to the view goal.and purcell i thought was overan in the middle

I dont agree with most of that - cant see how you think Purcell was out done by hartnett when the bloody midfield was by passed due to the ball being constantly in the air and to be fair he would want to be outdoing a 35 year old the way some of the Pike contingent go on about him.Why the criticism of Jason Purcell,he would still do a job on any team in this town and is in my opinion one of the top 4/5 junior players to have played in this town in the last 20 years and Hartnett although a very good player in his own right will never be as good as him in his prime.
Anyone who seen the Fai match between the sides will know that Christy Doyle today was a massive loss for fairview as he gave Pike a torrid time that day with his pace - would the players you mentionned above have such an influnece - i dont think so but thats all here say and counts for jack ****.
Anyway well done to Pike on a well deserved victory and they should press on now and win the league.

When your looking at midfield you have to look at the players each player had beside them-Purcell in my opinion was trying to do the job of 2 players as the game just passed young Christy Doyle by.

If you look back at the last 100 pages or so,you'll see that Keith Hartnett is largely defended on these forums,and what you don't seem to get is that today's match isn't affected by what a player could do 10/20 years ago,its all about the here and now.Credit where credit is due in fairness..Keith was battered around the pitch today,but still kept getting up.

O'Grady today was a massive loss,breaks up the majority of play for Pike,Smackers can actually move in goals,take his own Kickouts and move freely in his box(although today Ian did very well,vastly improved from the Carew park match),And enright playing Left back would free up Pat McGarry to show his ball skills.

Dont get me wrong i think Hartnett is a very good player.

I dont rate O Grady to be honest - no matter how much ball the guy wins he cant a pass a ball 5 yards - Freeing up Mc Garry could have had a major influence on the game as he is an exceptional player - Pikes best in my opinion.
How is Dave Wall doing for ye - have seen him playing a few times this season and he dont look like the same player he was a few years ago.

He isn't,seems to have lost his interest in playing,I'd say most who were there today would have said he looked lost out there.Albeit he was playing in central midfield roll and he's probably better suited to playing off the lead striker. Shows flashes of the Davy Wall from a few seasons back occasionally..

your sayin christy doyle was a big loss in ur previous post and this 1 sayin the game passed him by??

[da bishop]

deserved win for pike,the view looked good in first 20mins but from there on pike started to dominate and while j.purcell had some influence in 1st half he faded in the 2nd and was outshone by hartnett.both enright and purcell excellent for pike though it has to be said that r.kelliher is a pale shadow of his former self.the views experienced players didn,t do it,higgins,cosgrave,fitzgerald,purcell and to a lesser extent buckley.

To be honest, i think Pike were very lucky against us! They tried to bully us and it worked, shambles! Hartnett overrated still!

[oscar]

your sayin christy doyle was a big loss in ur previous post and this 1 sayin the game passed him by??

On paper and on recent form, youd have to fancy 4 home wins tomorrow evening.
I think Balla will beat Fairview now as they should be on a high from yesterday's MCJ win, Regional should beat Carew handy enough, Aisling should have to much for Summerville, and Star will be happy to keep the scoreline to less than 5 against Pike.

[Goals4fun]

sure you can still only play 11. who would have made way for the boys you were missing ?

[abbeyvale]

Aren't we always;)

But seriously, we might have our keeper back fit, but other than that, it will be the same squad of players that played v The Boro yesterday.

[the only 1]

At last, someone with a bit of common sense, thank you;)
And to make things worse!!! The Only One plays with Granville (who are worse off than Star), spare me

Oscar traynor is fixed for today week, versue the garda at jackman park.... i suppose the next league/cup games could be on thursday 1st May or during the long weeked. Why don't they plan if junior football to give everybody the long weekends off. I am sure teams would play a tuesday and thursday to have that off.
Also heard that there may be games on saturday night this week...

What ever happened to a fixture list? The website was great while it lasted, at least it gave people and clubs a chance to plan ahead of time. Not knowing if games are going to be on at the weekend Sat/Sun? is a complete farce. People have lives outside of football.

i dont think its a charity game,i believe its a game between Pike and Fairview. If im not mistaken (and surely the pike lads will crucify me if i am)but isnt it close on twenty years since the bus crash?I think the two clubs are playin their players from that era,i.e. basically an over forties game

Its a charity game for the recently deceased referee Ger Kiely, being played in the Pike club.

well after a knee op, and not having trained for 3 months, wouldn't you be??
Still 2 goals for first game game in 3 months isnt bad for a fat bloke,
