I was at the game on Saturday and from the kick off all Minge wanted to do was hurt someone.
Scum is the word that comes to mind whem talking about Minge!
Has he the same mentality off the pitch???

I'm not sure this site should be calling anyone scum. Way OTT.

I was at the game as well and I think Ryan behaved disgracefully. Scum is far too strong though.

i agree that he was a disgrace..i think all he can do now is kick and whatever because he is not fit enough and carrying a stone or 2 so can't compete..its up to carrick to rid themselves of this element.... scum is a harsh word but if one goes around elbowing people in the face and kicking people on the ground maybe " the shoe fits" ... enough about him though... what do you reckon about the final?

MOD EDIT:Can we move on guys?...........

anyone brave enough to make a prediction?????

Town will create more chances than Saints- the question is will they take them??? The goals from midfield have dried up in recent weeks and this was always going to be a problem as we dont have prolific strikers. should be an epic battle and im going to predict a 3-1 win for Town. Over to you.

Town need Paul Scully back (he didn't seem too mobile at the weekend) but maybe more importantly need to replace Alan Cody. Not fair to criticise the lad but he just isn't quite up to it - might improve in time. Paul Shanahan did well against saints on Sunday so I'd have him with either Robbie Boland or even give Jan a chance. With Scully back and a different front man I think 'Town have a good chance - surely will be more motivated. Otherwise I fear 'Saints will have a bit too much strength - and cuteness (not in a gay way !!).

it will be a tough battle... after last week i believe town will switch to 3-5-2 to suffocate midfield like they did in last years final.. they were hammered on sunday i believe in the 2nd half.. barnes is a luxury player who likes going forward but not working back.."The goals from midfield have dried up in recent week" this is because they have come up against teams that know who to deal with barnes..thats not having a go just as i see it.. still he will always be dangerous.. i see it as a tight game as well.. i had my rreservations about saints going 1-0 down to town but last sunday dispelled that..saints are v dangerous from set pieces and i think thats what it will boil down to..maybe 1-0 2-1 but i don;t see town score 3 goals on that saints defence and keeper.. too well organised. haven't conceded 3 in a game this year..but town are well capable..Charlie has them organised v well too... without scully they have no leaders.. they need him to play but if he does how fit will he be..

agreed re paul scully.. he is their only leader..they others go missing at times..paul shanahan is not bad.. but all he does in run.. not a goal scorer either..would i be correct in saying town have never replaced aaron moroney in terms of a goal scorer.. coady scores against poor teams but i can't ever remember him scoring against saints?? robbie boland is gone past it..don't know about jan never seen him play..will they cahnce blanche in a 3-5-2 formation for final??

why switch to 3-5-2 when they won the midfield on sunday with 4-4-2 and this without paul scully. You obviously weren't at the game as at no stage were Town hammered. Quite the reverse actually. Saints had 2 chances and took them both- Town had at least 4 clear goalscoring opportunities but only took one. Towns problems are well documented. They fail to capitalise on the number of chances they create, dominating sides but failing to finish them off. Coady is a hard grafter but not a natural striker. His best position is actually playing just off the front two but needs must. At least that problem looks to be resolved for next season with the confirmed arrival of 2 new strikers. With regard to Barnes- yes he has definetly gone off the boil at the wrong stage of the season but may prove to have a sting in the tail. I agree that Saints are very dangerous from set plays but if Town can limit those they stand every chance because Saints dont create a lot in open play. THE FUTURES BRIGHT- THE FUTURES ORANGE. :D

will u ever take off those orange blinkers please....... Town had 1 clear cut opportunity when Coady got through at 1-1 and dragged his shot... The reason for 3-5-2...cause charlie has no faith in his backline.... both centre half's are not good enough to go 1 and 1 like walsh and breen for 90 minutes..centre halves cost town against castlebar and last sunday.....saints created 5 clear chances in 2nd half... Rumour has it this is charlie's last season... as for paul scully..saints prefer to have him playing cause the way he is palying lately he doesn't get around the pitcvh and contributes allot less than shanahan...

I'm sorry tipp man but i have to but in here, i was at the match the weekend also, it is correct to say that town dominated the first half creating some half chances and by playing football. The second half michaels were well on top because clonmel gave away silly frees at the beginning of the half which allowed michaels to apply pressure the only way they know how...from set pieces,this gave them the upper hand. Other than that they relied on 2 mistakes for the 2 goals and and only created one clear cut chance from play. Sorry but michaels once again showed on sunday that they play long ball and hope pickup and play off the breaks. Padgo and B Ryan didn't kick a ball really whereas town had 2 great chances from shanahan(blazed over from 6 yards) and scully at 1-1 which could have put them ahead again. I think the final will be tight again this year, michaels definatley have the upper hand mentally now which could keep their noses in front!

Are my orange blinkers distracting your guide dog? Apparently im not the only one who thinks that Michaels have turned into Wimbledon. Im not suprised that yere not worried about Scully playing as ye wont attempt to play through midfield anyway. As for Charlie leaving- first ive heard so i cant comment. Any truth in the rumours that Foxy Grace will be taking the reins at Cooke Park next year? As for the final- May the best team win. BTW still waiting on a score prediction from TippMan2? THE FUTURES BRIGHT- THE FUTURES ORANGE.

Have heard the rumours of Charlie leaving CTFC but from what i have heard it's due to work commitment's and nothing else!! As for Michael Grace taking over in town I have heard that too and from a reliable source he's publically denying it but has some sort of agreement made and is keeping it quiet due to current management being in a MJC final and not to disrupt the player's before said game!! Anyone else hear anything?

I will confirm that barry Ryan and John walsh will be saints manager next year. Gracie is still too committed to the GAA and would bot be able to combine both come July when pre-season starts. The committee have already given the job to barry ryan and John walsh again.. and why not seconf consecutive MJ cup final appearance and hopefully 2nd consecutive win.
CTFC my prediction is a 2-0 win to st michaels.

Clonmel Town finally ended their MJC Finals jinx at Cahir park last night beating Saints 2-1. Just reward for their seasons efforts as they were deservedly crowned Munster kingpins. The game itself was quite scrappy and tight and never really flowed. The main reason for this was the ref's performance which at best could be described as inept. Great to see Kevin Blanche finally pocket a winners medal before retirement. THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT- THE FUTURE'S ORANGE.
