Fixtures on the paper last night were made up to the 17th of June with no sign of the Premier League being resolved top or bottom. Anyone any idea what's going on?

I think the story is the ldmc are going to see how teams pan out in the cups and as team start to drop out they will shove a league fixture in here and there..Think if they dont have it on the paper they will notify both clubs....Its a bit sad really as people can't plan anything......Sure we will see what happens...If the league is won sunday week there is still important games to be played at the bottom!!

Boro 2 - Pike 3

great display of heart, commitment, disipline and football from Pike to bring them one win away from the league title

2-1 at half time having played all the football, won it well in the in the end. Goals from Boyle (2) and Purcell

Anyone who has seen me post on this website for the last 3 years knows Im not one for the name calling and bitterness associated with a lot of posters here but I cant let it pass by without saying the Boro team were an absolute disgrace to their club tonight.

2 sent off and a stronger ref would have sent off another two. And as for O Hanlon on the line, they are better off without him next year. It was a credit to Pike that they maintained they're disipline though out.

A home game against Wembley on Sunda week to win the second title in three year

what a load of rubbish,were you at the same match as me,if anyone was a disgrace it was the clown who came on the pitch and tried to attack Alan Barry.Pike deserved their win,they stuck at it and never gave up,but were second best in the first half,they settled early in the second half and I don't think Bennis was tested in the second half,as for your comments on Shane he was no worse than Connie,screaming for cards throughout the game,but getting back to the game,well done to Pike,looks certain they'll win the league,a fine side and deserved league winners

have to agree with some of that. Good result for pike with great heart and determination. Both sidelines were a joke. Everybody was screaming for cards, fans, managwers, players.. but that is the footbal today, anything to get an edge. The ref was slow to show cards and then showed a ferw. He should have sent that supporter outside the ground for that and alan could have walked for that alone.
anyway good game, exciting and 3 points in the bag for pike !!

Regarding Barry and the supporter, don't know what it was about but it was totally out of order. Knowing the pike commitee they'll deal with that privately. We deserved the win our discipline showed. I agree with a previous comments about both sidelines being as bad as each other but thats all apart of it. The ref was poor tonight and incensed the players with a few of his decisions. Good heart from boro thats the way we want to win leagues by teams going all out to beat us. Lets hope they show the same heart if they have to play balla in the league again. One game to go against Wembley at home to win the league in fairness we can only throw it away after tonight.

Well with star already gone i will be hoping that granville lose all there remaining match's and thereby putting them down but we have 2 games to go and we will be going all out to try win them and try finish as far away from the bottom as we can....i am hoping it will be star and granville to go down but with no one knowing when the league games are going ahead and who is playing who its going to make it tough as players will need to keep training away and hope the fixtures come along soon or the season will be dragging into mid june...Most pre-seasons start in early july so there won't be much rest!!!!Hopefully they might do something new with the fixtures next year to try prevent this!!!

Wasn't at the match but i am asking the question,did Alan Barry leave the field of play to engage with this so called supporter (if he did he had to be sent off) or did the supporter come on to the pitch (my thoughts on this is the players should be protected from raving lunatics and Alan Barry should not have received a caution and the supporter removed from the ground) there are a few refs on the site can we have their thoughts on this incident. Also agree Pike have to make an example of this madman and expel him from the club.......:cool::ball:

as a neutral watching, i thought the carry on of both teams wasnt on. but pike, for a club that pride themselves on history and tradition were an absolute disgrace. from the players harrassing the ref to the manager insulting opposition players, not to mention the pike supporter that screamed for alan barrys leg to be broken!! absolutely disgraceful.

you musnt have been wearing the bi focals because it was a boro player who had to put it out cos pike wouldnt! which would explain o hanlons name calling.

I heard that the Pike supporter was actually on the field of play!Who was the ref last night?Surely a strong referee should be assigned to these type of encounters ie.Pike V boro Balla V Pike.Not condoning irrational behaviour but it only encourages players and managers to be more out of control when a weak ref is in charge.

Ye muppets calling him a disgace, some fat fool gets hyped up listening to ye screaming for players legs to be broke thinks he's rocky nd decides to walk on to the pitch to take on alan. No pike supporter and the sideline was full of them tried to stop it suppose they said ''nice one barrys going here'' that was the disgrace. I'd have pulled his head off, there's ye're chance of signing him gone, so its safe to call him a disgrace, get a grip

You say it like he strolled into the Penalty box and provoked the fight with Barry, which isn't the case,he walked I'd say 2 steps maximum onto the pitch,Barry did the majority of the movement towards the fight. End of the day Boro' were lucky to have only 2 sent off as mitre said..

28/05/2008, 12:27 PM

alan barry is not the first player to carry on like that,players are well able to mouth off and shout abuse at other players and ref's when their standing on the sideline.i blame firstly the clubs because the officers are standing there watching all this going on doing nothing and secondly the ldmc who now attend alot more matches than ever are letting the clubs and players away with it

He has a serious attitude problem. No need for that sort of carry on. Some anger management classes are well needed i think

Dirk Diggler

28/05/2008, 12:51 PM

In my opinion if the Ref had taken to showing 1-2 yellows early in the game it would have settled it as a match,but he failed to book any player until 5mins into the second half.

As for the Alan Barry incident, I was fairly close to it and heard Barry been called a f**k**g w***er to which Barry retorted come onto the pitch and say that. At which point Barry proceeded over to the touch line with the aforementioned Pike man taking a step in. What ensued wasn't a fight more like Handbags as neither actually managed to land a Punch.

If the letter of the law was to be followed Barry would have been Red carded there and then for an attack(regardless of who started it) on a "Fan"(a la Trevor Brennan anyone?) The incident came up in the Pike committee meeting last night,and is I'm told being dealt with from the Pike point of view.

As for the game itself,Pike dominated for large spells,and deserved the win,although both Boro' goals were corkers. A good win for Pike considering.

Question, Doesn't this mean Barry is out of contention for the OT final this weekend? Surprised no one has mentioned it at all..

Don't agree with you much Green Hoop but this is exactly what happened. Everyone can stop getting carried away with it. How that ref got a game like that last night should be the real debate going on here.

The Boro only had one player that played well (probably just as well then)
Pike had 6 players to play well.
The Boro finished with 9 men.
And Pike won by the odd goal in 5!!!!!

THATS RIGHT HE WALKED ON TO THE PITCH!!!!!!!! I dont care how many steps he took he was looking to make himself a name nd he did we called him casper cos he went as white as a ghost when barry walked at him. He like the rest of us thought some of the pike supporters would pull him back but nah like i said muppets

Lads, lets face it, yes Alan Barry is hot headed, but he is for me the best striker in town, and in all fairness (provoked or not) I dont think the incident would have happened if the Pike supporter wasn't on the pitch (whether it was 1/2 steps or 10/20 steps) end of the day, he shouldn't have been on the pitch.

Now lets move on........is Alan Barry suspended now for the OT final next week??? or do Boro have a game fixed in between....

Only saw bits of the first half as i was involved with the small sided game on the top pitch.Both teams and I Stress both teams did not leave a very good impression on the schoolboy teams playing on the top. I agree that the ref was not up to it, head of refs there to watch match, but some guys were going down like they had been hit by an IED.What happened to respect for you opponents , their club and they game...i did not see the 2 nd half, but if what has been decribed here about supporters encroaching onto the pitch is correct, we might as well pack it it.. as for the aforementioned M.Quinn..

Tuohy Cup

balla had reasonably full strength side with the exception of a keeper (dunphy was in goals) and didnt see earls either. two goals scored by lad that was up front with frank lee - not sure of his name. both goals came from aisling mistakes in first half but aisling, even though they played some decent football in the second half, didnt create enough chances. balla had several chances in second half and aisling keeper lade some good stops.
