Tipp South & District League 2008/09

[MunsterMunch]

cashel would have to sign 2 or 3 players i would think........any reports on todays games?? good win for town away to a cahir side who needed a result to avoid a play off....another clean sheet....villa comfortable or sticky win against celtic? have looked at the table for the last 10 mins....its possible saints will win the league if town lose a game and draw with villa in final game

What happens in the unlikely event of Villa beating Town? Presuming Town then win both games against Celtic and Old Bridge! both would finish on 36 ponits?

Would it be a playoff? head to head? goal diff?

[hooper74]

it would be a play off.........have town not already played oldbridge twice?

went up to thurles for peake v celtic and it was terrible. its laughable that peake could actually be champions, even if it is very unlikely. they did have mick ryan back though, although he was poor and probably a bit rusty. their goalkeeper and defence is first division stuff. they have nobody who can actually head the ball at the back. im no town fan but mark my words, they will murder this thurles team in the complex. on another issue, i was attacked on the sideline for giving the ref a bit of stick by some 'so called' peake supporters or members. i say ' so called' because all they did was bitch about their own team. with people on the sideline like that it is little wonder that the whole league isnt behind peake to break the top 2 like it should be....................

[hooper74]

ron you seem to have seen a lot of peake.....what exactly is going on with the defence.....the manager was involved with the oscar traynor youth set up if im right.....surely he has something up his sleeve for the complex and wont put out that back 4?? o connor has played there....could the polish guy play there,he is a big lad? i mean at what stage to they hold their hands up and admit its a problem....its incredible they have the chance that they do have,is it a case of being crazy stubborn or misguided loyalty? micheal ryan playing poorly will still be an addition in clonmel,they will need pace and strength,to win the league they would need to score maybe 3 times in clonmel,could be a great spectacle if they have the stomach for it

[ronburgundy]

look, im from a nearby village/town to thurles and they are my closest premier team so i like to make the trip in. i dont wnt to say too much about them but even our own side here in the village would trouble them. o connor played his best stuff this year at the back but i dont even know where he is, didnt seem to be invoved at all at the weekend. the polish guy seems decent in the air but you dont just throw a guy in downin the complex. i take no joy in saying it but my prediction is 3 nil to town.

didnt mean to touch a nerve with yet another peake fan. believe me, town will laugh at yer best on sunday

[Pearoso27]

Would anyone agree that Town lost that match on the line on Saturday evening? What in Gods name were they at, McKeever bottled it! They looked to be cruising in the second half when 2-1 up, but Scullys miss and then his injury they blew it. St.Peters showed some great heart and battling qualities but all their luck must be used up and have to hope Ballymun have a bad day in the final!

agree completely, Mc Keever made some very bad decisions in the end when 3-2 down he brought on stephen ryan as a centre forward who is a centre back cause he had taken off 3 recognised forwards. Tony scully was livid i was in thye stand behind him and what he shouted at them. Aaron moroney came up disgusted and walked off before the game ended. I think Charlie Mc Keever has done as mush as he can has to go.

[Fr Damo]

They lost it because they didn't finish Peters off when they had the chance to. The situation regarding bringing Scully off was understandable, he was bleeding from a head wound, McKeever was keen to get ten outfield players back on and the physio had to make a call. It was all very rushed but that's cup football for you, added spice and especially when it was in the balance at that stage.

I would say McKeever is responsible to an extent for going 3 at the back when Coady was sent, was surprised tbh because their defence was solid and didn't let Sher into the game.

Clonmel played well for (very well), worked hard, good wingers, and were the better football side. Peters looked nervous, were a bit too sensible at times. They should have faith in their own ability. Great support for Peter's though one or two should lay off on the sauce a bit. St Michaels couldn't do enough for Peters on the day, Thanks to everyone down there, pitch was top class.

[hooper74]

surely the tsdl website is incorrect with clonmel town having games wednesday friday and sunday??

No its correct, Town are being punished for having a successful FAI Junior cup run. Great game in the complex last night, with Town just sneaking it 2-1.

fair play to town, a lot of people expecting them to collapse after saturday. Obviously great character and team spirit there. sets up a pretty huge game on sunday. do you think they will rest a few for friday?

[hooper74]

i doubt they will.....its a cup semi....realistically all they can win is a domestic double.....also its a clonmel derby of sorts so they will have to be strong.....as for sunday a draw will do them and peake will be as negative as ever....played 5 in midfield at home to saints so probably be 6 away to town:) it really is a mark of towns dominance that a domestic double will seem like a poor year....whats next for town.....mckeever to go?

Town could still win munster Senior cup, outside chance but could do it. Also they should have won last Saturday and by all accounts the youths were unlucky to lose on pens to Cork so it hasn't been a poor season.
It looks as if it will be a Town vs Celtic tipp cup final and judging by last wed match, that should be a cracker. Town still have a bit to do in the league, Villa at home will be tough and going to rock rovers is never easy but they may not fulfill the fixture.
I was a big critic of the club at the start of the season but I have to admit they have surprised me and proved me wrong, I would say McGeever will go but replacing him won't be easy.

Dont you worry Town Fan the Rock will fulfill that fixture.Your right though about one thing,it aint going to be an easy game for Town.

[balls]

peake 3-2 town . clonmel must now win last 2 games versus oldbridge and rock to force play off. fair play to peake lads for winning today. cahir beat bansha in relegation play off to stay up in premier. galbally stay up in div one with moyglass relegated. killusty promoted from div 2 to first division after winning today

laughable?murder? Villa have lost 2 games in the league al season..Michaels and Clonnmel Town!
3-2 winners today away to Clonmel!probably a play off now for the leauge.
they lost to regional as well on pens in the munster!

some respect would be nice!

I agree wholeheartedly Munster...my sentiments exactly.according to some people here you are not allowed to lose matches and potentially be worthy champions..Villa went to Clonmel today and beat what I would imagine are one of the top three sides in the country. no league won yet by any means but showed a lot of character and are obviously not the shower of bottlers and headcases that some here have marked them down as...

Was at the game and fair play to both sides for putting on a great game. Villa showed great charachter to come back at the end to score a great winner. Maybe all of the games have caught up on Town but regardless Villa were superb. Credit Town for getting back into it, some goal from Michael Coasdy and was very unlucky to be sent off for taking off his shirt. What did he get his first yellow for, people around me were claiming he wasn't booked.
Also when you consider what Barry Ryan did after he scored. I am sorry but he is the biggest ******* and fool playing football, good striker but anyone from Town could have been forgiven for hitting him. What he did was inflammatory and he should have been booked and as a result red carded.
Town now face two tough games to force a playoff, with their punishing fixture lists that isn't straightforward

[tipp man]

Cody only got ONE yellow and was sent off.

Surely CTFC have grounds for appeal.

If Newcastlewest had their appeal upheld on tenuous grounds then this is straightforward.

Totally agree with Barry Ryan comment. His antics after scoring deserved a second yellow wirthout question.

I was at the game yesterday and it was one of the best games I have seen in recent years. As a Town fan I was gutted at the end but fair play to Villa, excellent stuff, they were fantastic.
However have to agree, Barry Ryan's antics after the goal was disgraceful. He was a "brave man" goading a bunch of women and right in their faces. he is an idiot and Peake Villa should have a serious word with him. Bad enough he faking injury and trying to get players sent off but that was out of order.
But lets not take from Villa in anyway or let that overshadow the victory. now that you mention it, I don't remember coady been booked!!

[tipp man]

I don't remember coady been booked!!

He WASN'T

[complexman]

He WASN'T

Those that make the game is null/void then? but sure if the ref said he was booked, thats the end of it

[maxwellsmart]

Anybody at the game?? how did the scoring go?? If town win their games how/where will the play off be played?

Villa went two nil up through fogarty and barry ryan.Town then came back through scully and coady with about 8 mins remaining. O'Connor then snatched it in injurytime for Villa.

have to say it was a fantastic game....real entertainment

[hooper74]

fantastic advertisement for the tsdl.....i thought villa had thrown it away when town came back to 2-2.....villa showed great character and in fairness their character and bottle had been questioned a lot....the play off will be one to look forward to.......at 2-2 saints were in with a sniff of a play off themselves

agreed, superb game and just what the league needed. I am Clonmel Town Fan but you had to admire Peake yesterday, with the exception of Barry Ryan, who is tosser of the highest order. I am a nearly 50 and never lifted my hand to anyone but I felt like giving him a good slap yesterday.
Have to add that I think Tommy Lewis is a vindictive man, and he proved that with the way he has given Town this crazy fixtures schedule. I think its very unfair.

Hopefully town will force a playoff because it will be a cracking match

I was saving up this comment too! Well done Villa. Great win. Doin' well for a defense from the 1st division :)

[hooper74]

at the risk of being called a barry fan or worse the man himself.......i have to say that the clonmel crowd who i think are a disgrace by the way constantly were roaring abuse at barry ryan and well he gave them their answer.....whats the problem? what i heard those idiots shout at paul breen a few weeks ago was vile and disgusting....ye want it all ur own way and also aoron moroney was subjected to savage abuse when he played for saints against town......ye are the worse fans in the league....very gracious when ye are winning but different story when things go wrong

You are wrong on a number of counts. How dare you say we are a disgrace, your no angels yourselves up there. Aaron Moroney was never subjected to any abuse, maybe from one or two but not by the majority and I think if you ask him he would agree.
Barry Ryan was a disgrace yesterday, he is an idiot, he was the same when he played for Town. Going around trying to get people sent off and if you think what did yesterday was correct, well that tells a lot about you.
Paul Breen probabaly got a slagging over his horrendous tackle on tony scully. We took our defeat yesterday we good grace, as we always do.

i agree. the majority of the clonmel crowd are good soccer people and were gracious yesterday. it would be unfair to let a few bad apples,both on and off the pitch, take away from what was an epic game. best in years . and yes i apologise to villa for writing them off but in my defence it was a changed peake team that won yesterday. and i must say there were 3 or 4 top class goals scored yesterday

[hooper74]

thats rubbish.....aoron was abused for 90 minutes by a member of your comittee and you know well who im talking about,coady celebrated in the same style and i dont see anyone from peake with a problem,scully did not miss one game after the so called "horrendous" tackle.....several clonmel town fans were shouting about play offs and so on.....shows the respect they have for rock rovers i really hope they turn them over

coady took his shirt off and ran down the pitch, so aaron was abused by ONE comittee man and it wasn't for ninety minutes, it was when he was sent off in the last few minutes. and yes rock will be tough as will the bridge, but at least we ae still in the hunt for the league:)

what time is the local soccer on that programme at? anytime I listen to it at's all GAA

for what it's worth, I think the Town fans are grand...

[Town Fan]

for what it's worth, I think the Town fans are grand...

they don't give it much coverage, it is mostly GAA and Rugby. the guy that presents it is good but he is more into carrick united than any team in tipp. also they give more coverage to ladies football, horse racing than soccer. they try and squeeze it in at the end. have to say Martin Quinlivan is very good on it and as I said in the past, muirish walsh wouldn't be one of my favourite people but he is excellent on it, he can talk about all sports, so its not as if they don't have good people to talk about the game in south tipp.

[ronburgundy]

not to put a dampner on things for peake but i think if it goes to a play off town will come out on top. dont know if too many of the villa players would make it onto the town 11........................ maybe 2 or 3?

[tipp man]

Yer man who presents it gives no time at all to local football.

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

Steady on with the predictions Ron :D

[complexman]

Yer man who presents it gives no time at all to local football.

To an extent that is ture, the coverage of local soccer is poor but to be fair, Ronan Quirke is into soccer but it is mainly a gaa show and his first love is rugby. I think they should use muiris more, he is far and away the best analyst on it. I know that Muiris is also a big GAA fan obviously town is his first love but you can't accuse him of bias. As I said rather than have a go at him or town here, ring the show

[hooper74]

there is nobody having a go at town.....i posted last week saying town were being punished for their success with lewis giving them a crazy fixture list which is completely unfair....town are a fantastic club with fantastic players but my point was ye rave on about people being disgraces....its junior soccer....its banter....if your going to give a lad stick be it paul breen aoron moroney or barry ryan then you have to accept it when they have their day and for what its worth i dont believe villa can reproduce that performance again but their character cannot be questioned after yesterday they were excellent

fair play......most people on this are obnoxious and only see their own points.....sunday was a great spectacle and i loved the celebrations and thought coadys sending off was ridiculous

[tipp man]

I don't normally listen to the whole show but the Tipp FM sports show tonight was fairly balanced. Soccer got about a quarter of the program and thats about right for this county. Lets face it, we are never going to get more air-time from Tipp FM than GAA and yer man and Muiris do their best.

I listened to the show and as ever Muiris Walsh was excellent, as was Ronan Quirke. Muiris was very gracious in defeat and he had nothing but praise for Peake Villa and offered no excuses for Town losing. He always trys to stay neutral on that show
He did give out about the 4 game sin 8 days, which I think nobody would disagree with him on that. He also said that it was great that another club was up there challenging Town and Michaels for the league and that hopefully it would inspire others. He made a point that it’s the first time in a long-time that a team could lose four games and still win the league. So for all those people who have a go at him, listen to him on a Monday, he is a real sports fan and a gentleman. They should give him his own football show on Tipp FM.

can't see Tipp fm having a football show, I know they do a GAA preview show but as was said Tipp is maily a GAA county,plus they would have include north tipp. If they were to do it, Muiris would be a good choice or Martin Quinlivan. heard the show lst night, good bit of football on it. have to agree, Walsh was excellent

The Republic of Ireland senior international team will train in Co Tipperary prior to this summer's international friendly games in Thomond Park.

The team will stay at Ballykisteen Hotel and will use the training facilities at St Michael's Tipperary in preparation for both games.
