[silvercircle]

was at the pike match carew dominated the 1st half pike had the better of the 2nd (just) pike keeper made 2 great saves and had 2 goals disallowed carew were exausted 10 mins into 2nd half if carew were a fitter side they would have won

Galway 4th Round results:

Mervue Utd 4-0 Corrib Rangers
Dynamo Blues 2-3 West Utd
St Patrick 1-1 Salthill Devon (St Pats win 5-4 on pens)

Last year's beaten semi-finalists knocked out by team 2nd bottom in First Divison. Mervue could be dangerous now as they are out of contention in the league.

id agree with all of that, carew were the better side overall but their fitness was deplorable. total neutral here but what was with the ref booking all the carew players for anything and none of the Pike players? oneof the offside goals of pike was clearly onside too/

totally agree carew were very unlucky,pike wont be able for the top teams in the country.i heard balla had to battle all the way against summerville and only for the summerville keeper making a howler wouldn't be in the next round

[tipp man]

What happened in the Clonmel Town v Peake Villa game that necissatated a 10 minute break in the middle of the second half?

Was it a fight in the second half. Was it dark after extra time. Anyone at it?

I said it a few weeks ago after the Fairview match that the Pike defence will be found out against the better teams and nothing i saw yesterday made me change my opinion.They dont look like they can handle strikers with pace.

The goal came from a set-piece:confused:

[MitreSize5]

The goal came from a set-piece:confused:

and all the other times they threatened were from set pieces as well - very unlike us.

Having said that we were blessed yesterday, carew could have been 3-0 up at half time and even when it went to peno's you'd have banked on gordon to save a couple.

We got some luck yesterday that has deserted us in previous years

[maestro]

The goal came from a set-piece:confused:

Don't think you will see Pike playing as badly as they did yesterday again. At the end of the day they are in the next round and the Carew match will be quickly forgotten. O'Grady was badly missed by Pike also. It's fair to say at this stage of the season Pike would not be considered a front runner for the FAI but maybe that will work in their favour. Still in every Competition and haven't yet started to play well is a nice position to be in though!

[Monster]

very nice position to be in

[Noddy]

That's true. in the game against Fairview and Carew yesterday Pike haven't played as well as I've seen them play this season. Carew had a great chance to beat Pike yesterday. Apart from a great clearance off the line in the first half which would have made it 2-0 to carew, they didn't look like scoring after that for the whole game. it was a poor game yesterday but pike in the next round is all that matters. you always need luck to win on penalties and cups

you always need a bit of luck - in 97 when fairview won there first FAI since the 60s they were lucky to beat balla on penalties out in bateman park.Joe Hannon took the 5th penalty and had to score.If he had missed then who is to say what would have happened in the following years.

[summervilleman]

totally agree carew were very unlucky,pike wont be able for the top teams in the country.i heard balla had to battle all the way against summerville and only for the summerville keeper making a howler wouldn't be in the next round

We can't blame the keeper for that goal..If u were at the game u'd have seen it was freak goal..Frankie went to cross the ball and it just evaded everyone...Most people thought it had gone over...Seen many a goal like that go in in the premier league so keeper can't be blamed..All in all we gave it a go and were disappointed to lose to a goal like that..Best of luck to all limerick teams who got out of town!!

[Green_Hoop]

Don't forget Pike had 2 disallowed goals in the second half,one, an offside that was clearly on,and another for a foul on the keeper,that said,we were very unlucky,gordon went the right way for 5 of Pikes' penalties and smackers saved the lucky one.This is the sort of luck that makes a good season..

Also rumour is that Balla will be bringing Pike back out to Bateman next sunday,apparently its "grand" now...

[Dirk Diggler]

out to bateman. they're running scared already

There was a row. Peake had a player sent off. He punched a Town player and then kicked him on the ground. fair play to the ref for stopping the game for ten minutes to allow both sides cool down.
Town very lucky to get through

[Dirk Diggler]

How are Clonmel Town looking this year? Have they lost many players from last year?

A row broke out after a collision in the penalty area. Lots of players involved but tbh it was handbags- pushing shoving and shaping. The situation had been diffused when redser o grady decked ian barnes with a cheap shot from behind. When barnes was on the ground he kicked him in the head and stomach. O grady is a thug and a coward and his actions yesterday warrant a lengthy suspension. :mad:The match itself was very stop - start with the ref halting play for the softest of challenges. Town conceded early and were always chasing the game from then on. Peake had 3 shots on goal in the entire match- two went in and the other hit the post. Town were literally camped in Peakes penalty box for long periods of time but a combination of poor finishing and last ditch tackles denied them. In fairness to peake they had a gameplan and it almost worked for them. Improvement required from Town.

[Super Rovers]

is that the same redser who plays hurling for tipp

The next round is the open draw isin't that correct, nice for all the remaining teams to get a nice trip out of it.:cool:

Ah sure, even if Pike are beaten they can find something to object and get through that way!!!!

Sorry m8,this has been dealt with time and again,its hardly Pikes fault for stupidity now is it...Get over it please..

Was at the game and lisselton should have won by 4 or 5 and have to work on their finishing. With 2 Irish junior internationals james sugrue and steven o mahony along with quality players who have LOI experience they should not be over looked.

i heard he was lobbed on his line,i thought ye might have outside chance against a very good balla team,yer dodgy at the back and yer keeper is a liability but ye should stay up and i think balla will get a good run and probably win the league

Agreed that Lisselton have improved from last year but for me they have alot to prove as domestically in Kerry they have never even won the league so tipping them for the FAI j/c is a step too far for them in my opinion.

However its great to see 4 kerry teams get into the last 64 (first time this has ever happened), testimony that the kerry league is getting highly competitive)

Whilst I appreciate your comments from the Town side of things, I too was at the game, from a neutral point of view. This is the first game I have seen this season as I am only back from my travels ( is wish i was back in the sunshine)

Your “thug” comments are a bit over the top really aren’t they, did you actually miss the initial incident that happened to spark all this off :confused: !! Mr. Scully no less should have seen red even before O’Grady, I do agree O’Grady deserved to go without a doubt, but in fairness he shouldn’t have been the only one ! There was a lot of “cheap shots from behind” from both teams; you only seemed to catch the O’Grady one? As for kicking him in the head and stomach, god bless your eyesight coz there was 6 players around O’Grady a split sec after barnes fell on the gound. I think his own players could have stepped on him making a run for O’Grady.

The standard of referring in TSDL is still as poor as ever, one red card in a disgraceful incident like that from both teams..and in front of what seemed to be a lot of young kids watching the game. Some things don’t change in the TSDL.

There was no flow to the game at all; every challenge seemed to be a free-kick on both sides. Town dominated but just couldn’t put away their chances. Peake had only 3 or 4 chances in the whole game. Peake team look very poor compared to last year, didn’t recognise most of their players, but they held on with 10 men and I think Town were worried. We’re lucky it didn’t go into penos, we’d have to get the flash lights out :eek:!

A lot of improvement needed from Town if they are to feature in the latter stages of the FAI this year, the one trophy that seems to elude them every year.

The thug reference is wholly appropriate in this incidence. What else would you call someone who kicks a player in the head when he's on the ground?????? As for my eyesight- I suggest you vist your own optician as the incident was witnessed by everyone within 30 yards including the linesman. Hopefully the ref submits a damming report and the cowardly thug recieves a fitting punishment. What started the row was the Peake no.4 pushing T.Scully into the Peake no. 5 and the no.5 going down as if the gunman from the grassy knoll had come out of retirement.

I too was at the game and you're right saying that O'Grady deserve to go but your comments that he kicked him in the head and stomach are way off!! As is stated already o'grady hit barnes but theres no way in hell that he got the time to take two kicks at him...one to the head and one to the body!! Thats crazy talk in my opinion!

Pike Rovers for the FAI,get yer bets on now in Paddies,33/1 !!!CERTS!!!

[jug2004]

I was also at the peake game yesterday , like it was quoted earlier they had a game plan and it very nearly worked, the goal in the first minute galavanised the team and they sat in their own box for the rest of the game. had Redser scored and not hit the post at one nil up it would have been all over for town for another year but luck would have it the ball came back off the post. The account of how the row kickef off is accurate Scully never raised his hadn to nayone but was pushed by another peake player then it all kickef off. Just when things chad calmed Redser "decked" barnes and di throw a kick at him but i from what i saw it didn't make much connection howver the linesman was right on hand and he had to go!! It seems lick was on the side on alot of the bigger names yesterday. Town have actually added one or two more players to their side from last year without loosing anyone important really they have some excellent young players coming through and are a pacey and fast team this year much quicker than in recent years. Moroney was a huge loss for the game i presume he was injured would surley have bagged a couple and was sorely missed! Roll on the open draw should be some interesting ties with so many good teams left in the competition.

Town need to tighten up at the back if they are to have any chance of winning the FAI. Next Sunday is another huge test vs Michael's in MJC
I was listening to TIPP FM lasty night, Town's PRO M Walsh never mentioned the row, to be fair to him he was never asked about it nor was Martin Quinlivan. However I thought he would have mentioned it.
I not a big fan of Mr Walsh's, since the whole Pike affair, for which he was responsable for but what I will say he is an excellent radio analyst on all sports. Just wish he would stick to that

Well we’ll beg to differ on the “wholly appropriate” thug reference on this one. I’m still of the opinion of the “kick in the head” is way over stated (but everyone has their own opinion).… As regards the ref submitting a damming report, if he’s reffing of the game is anything to go by Mr. Freigburgs reports will probably be wrote it up in crayolas !! I’m not even going to start on the no 4 pushed Tony Scully thing…obviously your optician gave you rose tinted glasses :cool:….I’ll leave it at that…

Open draw is meant to be on tomorrow evening, interesting to see the next fixture !

[Gerry the ferry]

I think we all know Pike havent been playing well his year but they keep on winning,all im saying is that they are a good team and have a big chance of winning the FAI with a bit of luck,there great value and will give you a good run for ur money

You can delude yourself if u wish. It happened and has been verified by another poster on this board. Also verified is the fact that T.Scully didnt start the row. Rose tinted glasses??? Better vision than your welding mask offered. ;)

Maybe you missed the other poster who verified that the "kick in the head and stomach" was way off, maybe I was wrong saying "Rose tinted glasses" it should be more like "blinkers" :D....See...everyone has their own opinion.....

At the end of the day, handbag stuff happens every weekend, every league, every cup competition...Off the ball stuff happens as well, everyone has their own opinion of what "they" saw be it "rose tinted glasses" or "welding goggles"....sher can't we all remember the handbag stuff and off the ball punching in the jansboro game last year....I wonder were posters looking for a "damning" ref report last year....

Looking at the TSDL fixtures I see a re-run of Sunday last's fixture down for two weeks time....Should be interesting....again...Must bring my walking stick to that one...coz clearly I'm blind :cool:
