Absolute madness in the fairfield this morning i hear! Got a call from a club member said he was passing the Fairfield and there was a game going on! Would have been half hour gone if it started on time, pitch was in a terrible state, water splashing around, players slipping and sliding, covered in mud and torrential rain falling!
Stupid and dangerous imo, can only think it was a cup game and home advantage was at stake but anyone think of the concequences to man AND pitch. Probably wont be a game on it now for weeks!!
PS, anyone know if it finished? Our man saw two being conceded by Fairview so maybe they pushed for an abandonment at half time!:cool:
They lost 3 2 to richmond
I also passed this morning and couldnt believe that the match was on...it was shocking lads....one of the worst ive ever seen.....home advantage at stake or not the ref should of doung the sensible thing and not play the game....that pitch will be in bits fo a few weeks and im sure blackstone wont be happy either
I know that other clubs playing in the Fairfield called off there games on Saturday. I live near the Fairfield and I couldnt believe it when I saw the game being played there was no line on the pitch and you could visibly see the water on the surface. The teams were using the other pitch to warm up on Bohs and Cathedral cant be happy with that. I passed later that day the pitch is destroyed it wont be right for months its a pity as its a fine set up now with the new dressing rooms. The ref should have called the game but there probably under pressure from the league to get cup games out of the way
How do people think the AUL team are gonna get on tomorrow night?? I think another draw is on the cards.. Hopefully they win tho be in with a good shout of qualification then.
I think the game will be very tight. It doesn't matter who has a stronger squad. The fact its a local derby throws everything up in the air. MSL shut a lot of people up last year. So I think both teams are capable of winning but I hope the AUL edge it. Would be great for the league if they could qualify.
Msl will be a good side they proved that last year
And they were unlucky I heard against last years runners up down in Kerry, the MSL will be organised and defend well exactly like they did last year when they beat the AUL so I'm going for a 2-2 draw.
Seen that 2 1 against the Kerry side is a good result . Defence forces beat the Kerry team 2 1 so hard to say . All depends on the formation they start against the Msl . We defo have some good players that are creative and we have a few guys that can finish .I hope he starts with 442 but we'll see
I see the draw for the FAI cup has been made tonight few Dublin teams posted fixtures anybody know where could get the fixtures in full?? cant seem to find them anywhere.
The draw for the Fifth Round of the FAI Umbro Junior Cup was made this evening by the FAI Junior Council.The fifth round is where the competition goes into an open draw format and the 32 matches drawn have produced some interesting ties.
The holders,Sherrif YC, will face a trip to Galway to face Corrib Rangers if they manage to win their outstanding Fourth Round tie against Corduff while last year's runners-up, Kilbarrack United, also face a trip to the west after being drawn away to either Partry, Claremorris or Ballina Town from the Mayo League.

if the glen A get by innish they have a div 1 team from donegal they will be hard they won all their ties away from home scoring 7 and conceding just 2...glen b got a plum at home if they beat fermoy best of luck to both teams and yes they have as good a chance as anyone.
Best of luck to everyone involved with the AUL team tonight,players and management. Although it should be a tough one as all local Derby are, I still expect the AUL to win.Is anyone expecting changes tonight from the last game. Heard there has been a few new faces involved since but hard to know if the manager will change anything. Anyway best of luck again lads
I would imagine there will be a few changes tonight + also maybe a change of formation. Heard the new players have settled in well + I would imagine that Donal will pick them. Will be tough tonight but if the AUL want to progress they have to win. Looking forward to it.
Half time 2 nil to cork aul both goals by Stacky within 3 mins of each other aul playing 442 looking very good . 1fortheteam you might not be far off with your. Prediction of 3 nil .
