Did the Peake player pass a comment without knowing to the Rock player about his mother who had infact passed away within the last year?
It's hard to say how you would have react if you were in that situation but I am not condoning an assault as bad as that.
No that was just the pathetic excuse conjured up by rock rovers as even they realised the serious nature of the incident,the player in question was steven coppinger,he spent 3 days in hospital after the attack,the referee who was michael freiburg gave the player a straight red but then awarded every free and offside decision to rock as an apology,its a farcical situations,referees are afraid of their lives and players risk serious injury,like i have said enough is enoughQuote:

Yea they all jumped in and broke it up but they were 20 yards from the action so the damage was done,do people not feel like its time to take action?Quote:

cannot understand it myself,typical villa,if it was clonmel or saints they wouldnt stand for it,villa wont even report the incident,too much work involved!!!Quote:

Town and saints was called off due to a bereavement . Rock drew with cashel 1 . I had hoped we would push on after our great result against peake but unfortunately the premier is turning out to be a tough task. The standard between the the first division ant premier is huge.
Went to watch celtic and villa on sat night, Celtic have a very good young side I can see them doing well over the next few years. Again for the 2nd time this season villa looked ordinary and were lucky to hang on for a point in the end They are lacking a good center forward Barry Ryan is a big loss to them they arent finding goals as easy to come by this season. Ted O connor was playing center half something I cant get my head around he is a top top striker. He didnt start against us but came on at half time and done well prob should have scored. Can any Villa fans shed some light on why he is not playing up top??

I was told the game finished 1 0. wasnt at the game myself as i was working friday evening. 1 1 is a good result away to rock its never an easy place to go.Quote:

Yes it was a good game ron I never said it wasnt. My reason for Villa being ordinary is that they are creating very little going forward in the 2 games i saw them. I would still personally regard O Connor as a fine center forward its only 2 years ago he was scoring regurally in the LOI first division surely he couldnt of lost all that over night. What is the story with mick ryan how come he is not playing?Quote:
