I'd imagine it was fairly entertaining for the big crowd there alright. Fairview dominated the first half,had Pike fairly rattled, so much so they took off o'grady after 30 mins for Morris. The worst thing to happen the View was half time....pike scored 2 goals in the first 5 mins of the second half. Another goal 10 mins later and In fairness they were on top at this stage playin good stuff. Penalty for handball then got view back in it (Purcell), and equaliser followed 5 mins later. View missed an absolute sitter early in extra time, pike had a goal disallowed which to be fair was a brutal decision. Pike finished v strongly in last 5 mins and Morris scored a cracker of a header with about a second remaining! Was blown up on kickoff.To be honest i think the way the game panned out neither team deserved to lose it,but such is football,hard for view to take after coming back from 3-1 down and losing it in the last second of extra time.
I was there too. Spot on report. The view did very well to come back to 3-3. They dominated the first half of ET. Pike dominated the second half of ET and I cant believe that goal was disallowed I was right behind the goal. (as for the celebration with shirt off etc he must have felt like a right wally as everyone was laughing!!) And Pike should have a peno but ya the view missed a sitter and the ref gave a free out there for nothing.. no-one touched the keeper. Morris scored a cracking header with the last play of the match in ET. Cracking game. Hard luck to the view.. as you said neither team deserved to lose. Massive crowd.
