in fairness they wouldn't go this far if the didn't think they have and very good chance of winning but was is to stop pike appealling the decision if it was to go in clonmel's favour best thing would be to f@*k pike and clonmel out and let maymounth and balla fight it out then in 2 years when the pike clonmel thing is resolved we can start again
They are saving face !!!!!! look they either fcuker up or honest mistake but I must mention.. Paul Tobin didn't play in MJC Final last season with Michaels because of this and the Balla and Pike lads didn't play in this one so its not as if it's a new rule... come on have some dignity !!!!
I don't think Pike did anything wrong so why throw them out?
I feel that based on the various Clonmel Town posts here that they made an honest mistake, especially in the Cup Tied players case. But honest or not a mistake was made that other clubs did not make... I think their continued appeals is really turning the neutrals against them...
Also if they somehow win on appeal does that allow Balla to play their cup tied players in the final (If it's ever played)?
why don't ye just give the money ye are throwing away to charity. I mean in all fairness ye surely know ye aren't going to get anything out of this. Just hold ye're hands up and take responsibility for the mistake that was made.
This is bringing the good name of Clonmel Town into disrepute. its a waste of money and if they come looking for money from me this year they can eff off. Think what 5 grand would do for schoolboys etc. Its not like they are flush with cash. This is irresponsible and a waste of scare resources.
And that's before you consider what it is doing to the other teams, the competition as a whole etc etc. Can CTFC please cop themselves on?
Does anyone think that after this shambles and what has happened in previous years that the FAI and Munster Junior councils might sit down and sort all these rules out?
Next season each club should be told to get a hold of both rule books for the FAI and MJC and if any of the rules are broken then they are gone from the competition.
Then clubs cant be coming along and going "ah sure it was an honest mistake".
why is everyone giving out about clonmel? especially the pike contingent? pike would do the exact same, pike started all this by objecting to being beaten on the pitch, maybe they should not have played but on the day pike were beaten and i think they should have left it there
It's an absolute disgrace what Clonmel Town are doing.
i think that when clonmel lose their appeal they should be thrown out of the competition for a couple of years so that the next time they try anything like this they will think twice about it, especially since they are in the wrong
Oh ok so now it is Pike's fault for CTFC playing 2 illegal players... I didn't realise that it was up to all the other teams to check that all CTFCs players are eligible for every game. Maybe that's why none of the other teams that CTFC beat in the MJC objected...
what a clown...
pike turn up to play with their best eleven leaving out our best centre forward as we know he's illegal
clonmel turn up to play with two illegal players, but sur they're ****ty rules so we wont bother taking any notice of them.
.... and its pikes fault ..... shame on us for obeying those pesky rules
Things are looking a bit ominous for the MJC this year...
The previous mentioned fixture between Maymount and Pike:-
This is from the Cork AUL noticeboard/website:
MJC game off!!!!
The semi-final of the Lucozade Sport Munster Junior Cup between Maymount Celtic and Pike Rovers fixed for Turners Cross on Sunday next 20th May 2007 has been cancelled
:mad:
Where exactly in that statement does it claim that it's Pikes fault????????? Town played the players so obviously it's Towns fault. Thats not in dispute. But which is worse, the team that made the genuine error in playing them or the team that knowingly allowed it so in the event of a loss they could lodge a protest? Were Town at fault? YES. Were Pike honourable enough to point out the mistake beforehand. NO Come down off the cross and give someone else a go.
So if Pike had said to ye before kickoff that those two players were illegal, ye would have said "thanks for that we better change the team"?
And a genuine error? Thats what your saying now. But is that just because ye were caught?
How come all the other teams knew the rule but ye didnt?
This has to go down as one of the most rediculous quotes of the season..
Please mate, hand on heart, ye know ye've majorly f****d up..just give up the chase.Clonmel Town's good name blah blah blah..The past 2 months has turned Clonmel's "good name" into a laughing stock and a dark cloud around the whole of Munster.
:eek: I was going to print somethin nasty regardin Clonmel Town but I could'nt be bothered.They'd probably appeal it to the 12th man.
I'v even gone of Bulmers cause it reminds me of them.
I can understand backin your club but some of what has been posted is laughable.
Its bad enough getin caught cheaten,worse still that you try to blame another club.
Pike did'nt sign the players for ye or force them to play.
I hope Clonmel Town get all they deserve.
if balla played guerin+ryan this year everyone would know they were illegal same with carthy of pike it was obvious yere player played last year with limerick and was illegal even some of yere supporters mentioned it during the game
Im sorry about NOT bein able to look at my pint of Bulmers anymore but now i know why.
Because of all the trouble Clonmel has caused and also just like Clonmel in fact
Bulmers has lost its APPEAL,get it LOST ITS APPEAL
Has anyone got anymore jokes about the Tango gang in Clonmel and their carry on.
If the next appeal fails i heard they have 2 choices,,,,,,,
Judge Judy or Sexcourt
very good
