who's the money goin on,or is their even a bookies givin odd's.
Hows the pitch in LIT holdin up.I hav'nt actually ever played on it an have heard a few stories that it can be a bit of a bog when the weather is bad.Dont know how true that is an would expect the LIT to have a decent set up either way.Some one might be able to fill me in on somthin but there was'nt any Ballynanty players on the Limerick Oscar squad an there top of the league,surely they deserve a few on it.

Lets at least be honest here.Ballynanty are not some second rate junior side an have done their homework on Grattan and I dont for one minute think that Bally are anything but a well drilled prepared side who know their stuff.
Their are a few Irish junior lads from Pike an Regional to name a few that are an have been on the Irish Junior side with our own 2 Junior Internationals last year an this year so I would be silly in thinkin that Bally are only to aware of exactly the standard at which we can perform against any opposition anywhere in the country on our day an they know they will have to be at thier best on the day to have a chance,same as us.
Bally have had 2 excellent victories against Cork sides Avondale an Doughlas Hall this season alone an we know exactly what Bally are all about.Front an back,side to side.We watched them against Doughlas Hall an were impressed but not to the point that we dont think we are capeable of getting a result against them .They are a top Limerick side and we will be expecting a good game against them.Pike an Regional would only too quickly vouch for our footballing skills an our teamspirit so confidence in our ability to win away from home is not a factor.
But Bally will also be aware that we have won all our games this season in the Mjc away from home an we have no fear having to play away from home again.I do not claim to know much about the LIT pitch but from what ye have told me it will suit footballing sides which we both claim to be.A great game is in prospect an also hopefully despite the Tv games a good crowd to..

Result from LIT: Balla 3 Grattan 1 aet ...
Any result from the Aisling - St Michaels game?
aisling won 4-2. good result for balla i fancied grattan to cause an upset having seen them a few times this year they are a quality side

Any result from the Aisling - St Michaels game?
aisling went one up. AA keeper then gave away penalty and was sent off. michaels got a second penalty to be 2-1 up at half time. AA scored 3 in second half with only 10 men. michaels keeper had a bad day - made bad mistakes for first and third goals. michaels were disappointing though for a team with their reputation.

Well firstly I'd like to say well done Towlie an Leeside for a great result.The result is all that matters an ye dug deep an yer in the semis.
Ourselves,well if we played badly as ye already know I would be the first to point it out but considering where an who we were playing I thought we were excellent throught out the game.The weather(a gale blowin for the entire game) an the pitch were not great an it suited Bally's more physcial defensive style to be honest but I dont think they were prepared for the way we came at them especially in the 2nd half against the windThey were desperate men for a lot of the game throwing bodies in front of an on top of us to stop us playin.We were a yard quicker than them but they were cute an knew wherwe to give away frees where it would not hurt them.
The ref an his display also could no doubt be a factor but I do not want to sound as if we are bad loosers.I could'nt honestly blame him for any of their goals an the penalty decisions that we thought were straight forward were 50/50 at best an I know if they had been given against us we would'nt be happy.If I'm to be very honest an I will be we beat ourselves.Bally were on the back foot for a lot of the game an happy enough to soak up the pressure but we outplayed them footballing wise an more than matched them in the physcial sense.
You can alwasy tell when a team is struggling when they make changes quickly as Bally did in the 2nd half.We were pushing them back an back an took a deserved lead from man of the match Mark O'Sullivan.But you see we were winning headers for the whole game an not giving away silly frees up to about 10 mins to play but then probably sensing victory we got a bit nervous an started to bite a bit at them.
Their were 2 lads from some limerick paper standing with me an as soon as we started to give away the frees they told me thats this is when Bally would start to pick it up an they did.They changed their front 2 an it did change the game for them.We did not compete for 2 headers an were were punished an the 3rd goal was a freak ,Ronny Radford type shot.Great strike but never to be repeated.3 / 1 was harsh,we came an played the top, side in Limerick on their own patch an played them off the park an''Supporter'' I dont think you could argue that we were the better footballin side,but in fairness to ye they have bags of experience an weathered the Grattan storm.They were also excellent in the air an on the day when the wind was as strong as it was that was a major factor in them keepin us to 1 goal.
I was gutted for the lads at final whistle because they had come away from home again an put in a fantastic display an given their all to have victory snatched away in so crule a fashion.Speaking to the Bally management afterwords they were very complimentry towards us in sayin that we were a fantastic young footballin side with a great future ahead of us.That was after we had to listen to them sigin an roarin in their dressin room right next to ours.Loosin is **** an thats all.I know some one has to loose but when you gave what our lads gave to come away with nothin is gut wrenchin.
Thanks for the words of support throughout an again well done Towlie an Leeside we'll be cheerin ye on in the semis.

raped by the ref we were. the fella must have been 10 yards offside when he scored it. even admitted it himself. all in all though we didnt preform well and can't have too many complaints about being beaten just not like the way it happened anyway.

I'll give ya that I did feel the winner was offside .
But the linesman was right in line and he's not the shady type .
Whether he was right or wrong I've no doubt that the linesman genuinely believed he was on .
That ref on the otherhand is one of the most annoying you'll come across , one word towards him(abusive or not) and you could find yourself with a yellow .
We were unlucky to lose our left winger in the warm up which hampered us a lot going forward(he really is a fantastic player) .
I don't think either side was at their best really , I'm sure ye are capable of more than that and I sure as hell know we are .

Look hoop,I never ment it as if is or was the worst thing in the world.It was said as kind of a parody,there we are dejected in our dressin room an on the other side of the wall, their delighted singin an shoutin.More of a veiw on the 2 sides of football,the winnin an loosin an how it effects both teams.When the Bally fella paid me the compliment I was down in the dumps beacuse of loosin an hearin them celebrate an though it was a nice gesture at the time by the Bally fella it did'nt cheer me up much. Why oh why cant people just read these posts for what they are an not for the little bits of shiite they can drag up that have no relevence to the reports on the game.:confused:

I actually think that aisling will beat balla in the semi's to be honest...They are one of the best footballing teams we have played so far in the league and look very dangerous going forward..Now i know not all footballing teams win match's but i am putting my money on Aisling!!!
I will stick my head out and say nenagh then for the other spot...

Of the 2 sides I have experience of seeing in action against us I would describe them as being physcial sides who try to play ball rather than football sides who can get physcial if needed.Nenagh an Ashling are unknowns to me but if they are as you say football sides rather than the latter I would air on the football rather than the pyhscial side of things comin through.I can see a quick footballin side winnin the Mjc outright,,,,,,,,,,,,just dont know if theirs such a thing left in it.

aisling are as physical as any team in town and play to their strenghts which is not by playing football im afraid.maybe they do try to play football against the lesser teams as they are prob allowed but in any game they played against pike in the last 3 years all they were interested in was kicking them.

Look hoop,have you not any thoughts of your own on football.Ones that dont have to do with Pike or things that have happened to Pike.I have great time for Pike,along with the rest of the Limerick teams but why when anyone mentions anything to do with anything do you have to bring up Pike. Come on you seem like a decent chap,just try to go 24 hours without mentioning Pike,I dare ya.:D
