Where is the final being played? Where is the RSC?

Would Buckley Park in Kilkenny be half way for both teams??

Don't think it should be on in the RSC as it is so close to Carrick, they probably wouldn't want to play another FAI final there as their last outing didn't go their way at all.

the word is carrick played an illegal player who played for waterford utd in some game that made him illegal and its gone to the fai who said he was illegal, not 2 sure about the rumours but i heard it's true but celtic won't go to court 2 win a cup, we'll take a beaten on the chin!!!!!!! COVIES!!!!! celtics captain couldnt and shouldnt have played he couldnt even hardly walk, his knee was f***ed and our other centre back had to go to hospital because he had serious pains in his appendix, he shouldn't have played either, but all said carrick were the better team on the day and fair play to them but they were lucky they met a celtic team that weren't themselves and didn't do themselves justice on the day!!! best of luck 2 carrick in the final!

why the question marks ????(the club was asked did they want to stop for refreshments but declined , they wanted to go straight back ), dont worry about rumors they are usually wrong !

I would hate if Celtic would go down this route. I dont understand why you posted about the armed robbery, no robbery last Sunday,. Without him Carrick would have still beaten us. A player can play in the Senior cup before Aug. 22nd and still be OK to play in the Junior Cup. I could be wrong dont have a copy of the rules

I hope that this not true and that Carrick take their rightful place in the final. I hope that Castlebar don't behave like Pike Rovers did last season!!!.
What happened to my Club Clonmel Town was a disgrace but to be fair Town and in particular two people from within the club, seriously messed up and they both still hold their positions within the club.
All that said, I really hope Carrick go and win the FAI, great club and a great team but they will be up against a great side in Killester. Should be a cracking final

Do the rules only apply to other teams and not Clonmel....Clonmel fielded illegal players aginst Pike for reasons best known to them...Pike are not the guilty party here...the only disgrace is clonmel tried to cheat their way to a final... get your own house in order...best of luck to carrick in the final.

To be fair, Clonmel Town did not deliberately try to "cheat their way to the final", it was a serious **** up on the part of our secretary and PRO but it wasn't an attempt to cheat. I think the two men involved should have been thrown out of the club for incompetence.However If you look at Town's record over the last 45 years, they have no reason to cheat. They are a fine club with a proud record and this is the first time in their long history that their was a problem. It now seems that Carrick may have run into a similar problem, so are you suggesting that they are cheats as well.
Why I was upset with Pike is that they knew before hand, I would in the interest of decency have told Town before hand but that just me.
Clonmel Town are not cheats and anybody who knows anyhting or has been involved in football is well aware of that.

So you wanted Pike to pick your starting 11 on the day....I sure the clonmel managment would have warmed to that, I would be interested to know if other clubs would have taken the course of action Pike did..if not why???apologies for the word cheat...just annoyed for Pike being knocked for "NOT" breaking the rules.

Ok thats fair comment, let's move on. I hope Carrick don't have to go through this pain but what it those prove that there is a problem within the association and the goverance of these rules

As far as I am aware Celtic have not even looked into this. Just pub talk. So matter closed. Best of luck to both teams should be a great final.

i was at the game on Sunday and Carrick thoroughly deserved their victory in truth the scoreline could have been a lot more,I was a bit disapointed with Castlebar thought they would be better but maybe that was down to how good Carrick were on the day(the 2nd goal was worthy of winning any match, pure class).I havent heard a word in Carrick town about any complaint of an illegal player and would be very surprised if the club could be that foolish.The final will be a cracker and if Carrick play like last Sun Killester wont have it all their own way,looking forward to it though.
By the way any truth the game could be in Cooke Park,Tipp Town???

I think Carrick are going to push for the final to be played in Ozier Park (semi final venue)the smaller pitch and the crowd closer to the field would make for a fantastic atmosphere (the atmosphere in the RSC is brutal at the best of times)dont know if FAI will agree though,

The atmosphere is brutal. The whole setup is brutal in there. As gareth cronin said its like a dangerous beach. My opinion is that if they can play the semi final in ozier park, why not the final!!!

your saying your club was wrong but pike were a disgrace ,make up your mind.and if i can remember correctly pike saved town from being stripped of their domestic trophies as ye were in fact illegal all season so get your facts right before you start talking about something you clearly know little about

lads is,nt it a sad state of affairs when the top junior trophies in ireland are consistently being showered in controversy over rules,there is only one crowd to blame for this and that is the law makers who are constantly causing mayhem with rules that just contradict other rules.

Wexford officials, Michael Franklin (ref) Damian Donovan, and Eddie Redmond (assistant refs) appointed to officiate at Umbro FAI Junior cup final

In case anyone is interested this is from the Wexford League site (http://www.wexfordfootballleague.com/). Damian Donovan used to ref a good few of my games at schoolboy level back in the day. Always seemed to be a decent ref. Don't remember any of the others.

Lads, besides the medals and the trophy and the obvious pride and honour of winning the FAI junior cup do the winning club and the players recieve any other reward from the sponsors or the FAI(money,holiday etc)for winning the competition

Not as far as I know. Both finalists get a set of jerseys sponsored by Statoil and all semi finalists qualify for the FAI Senior cup next year. Apart from that no more than a trophy and medals and the obvious acclaim of being the best junior team in the country.

any victory on the road in a competition like that is a great result.

st james gate senior side are 4th or 5th from bottom in the 2nd highest division in the leinster senior league, they wouldnt be great but they wouldnt be bad either.

Dr Mad

02/05/2008, 11:53 AM

Never said they would win it easy MY FRIEND but the general poor standard of Junior Football nationwide (lowest in 20 years) means that they have not really been stretched this season, that is the sad thing.

Dr Mad Prediction: 3-1 to Killester with Lacey and Keogh both on the scoresheet.

PS are we not all FRIENDS IN FOOTBALL ?? ;)
