Back on to Defend the "Few" Damo?! Becoming a lovely habit for you at this stage! I can't see why an official from St.Michael's can't simply have a word with these "few" during the game. We're not British and shouldn't therefore be subjected to this "Banter", if you want a sing song, go to an LOI game or go over to Old Trafford. Sing for professionals who are paid good money to take the "Banter"...Quote:

Oh, so singing at junior games is forbidden and the act of singing at games is a British phenomenon is it??? That is one bizarre statement. I'm not "defending" anyone - merely stating the facts. There is nothing to defend, hence why would a club official feel the need to "have a word" with this "few" you keep referring to? Carrick, like I said, gave as good as they got. Saints support was just that bit more audible. And, tis not for you to tell anyone where or when they should be singing. We'll be singing our hearts out again in Turner's Cross on the 22nd.Quote:

And can you reread my comment. I clearly stated, Amateur's shouldn't have to be subjected to disgusting remarks from certain people. Never said Singing is "forbidden", your words, not mine. And read over the Comments from the last 2 pages. That clearly wasn't singing. Bit of a difference. Just stating they're very similar comments to the Pike game...Lovely traveling support St.Mick's have there. And you wouldn't be getting this riled up if there wasn't an element of truth somewhere.Quote:

I don't believe you are; comments accusing people of getting riled up for contributing to a debate clearly supports that view. Re your statement on amateurs being subjected to "disgusting" remarks that works both ways and I heard plenty of such remarks directed at Saints players. I think we should let this one lie, Blink, and just agree to disagree. No doubt you'll fire back some other Mary Whitehouse brigade laden nugget of moral wisdom but it shall fall on my deaf ears (pardon the awful pun there - it seems some Carrick fans suffered a bout of hearing loss yesterday, then again, maybe it was just a case of selective hearing). Anyway, come on The Saints, MJC Champions 2011. Thank you.
I'm sorry but to refer to some of the chanting as good natured banter is childish and moronic. I was in the stand close to some of these guys and yes a number of the chants were great fun especially the one about young Carr which I can still here in my head but other comments were also made about the Carrick girls signing (who were singing simple supporter songs). I heard them calling them sluts at one stage which is scandalous behaviour. So don't try to defend this stuff.
Hey damo, some of the carrick boys are gettin so riled up over this little bit of banter, maybe they dont actually have a toilet in there house :D
After reading the comments on here re the Micks supporters have to agree some of their chants have no place in junior football, certainly not banter. I moved my kids and myself away from those "supporters" and went to the other side of the pitch where I stood alone side true Michs supporters. Yon can't in all fairness defend this stuff, same thing occured at the FAI Junior cup tie in Carrick last year.
The game was a cracker, Adam Mac best player on view by a mile, extra time would have been the fairest on the night.
One young kid did shout that and he was told in no uncertain terms to shut up and not do it again. Coady got stick after his gesture following a bad tackle. Other than those incidents there was nothing else. The 'no toilet' thing was sung after a Carrick lad called us knackers - and even the Carrick guy who said that was laughing when the toilet chant was sung. There's a similar theme emerging here, in that every time St Michael's win someone is on complaining about the behaviour of their supporters.Quote:

Congrats to St.Michaels.
Very well said. I was at the game and thought the commrardarie between Carrick Utd and St.Michaels was most friendly. But what really saddened me was the isolation of the Carrick Utd players for the runners-up presentation. Very few Carrick supporters stayed for what is a bad time for the beaten finalists and it was sad to see the main people to applause a very gallant band of runners-up was the victors. Well played Carrick, your club and players really gave it yer best and to St.Michaels I would say ye are an excellent team so congratulations on yer success. To both, thank you for a marvellous game.Quote:

It was a privately organised bus of supporters that stopped in Clonmel with no cup! The bus stopped for a comfort break and yes it was in good taste, chicken fillet burgers from Lyons and pints of Tipperary Champagne in Kate Ryans, they went into the Local for a bit of banter but there was no one there so swiftly moved on to Kate Ryans and sang Karaoke very badly it must be said!!Quote:

It wrong to say Carrick supporters did not stay for the runners-up presentation. Firstly the presentation area was to small and secondly with no pa system no one knew what was going on. Could someone please sponor a pa system for the Waterford Jnr League !!!. All the Carrick supporters I heard were proud of their teams efforts on the night and many made their way unto the pitch afterwards to congrat the players on their effortsQuote:

Would have sang better if the karaoke machine had any songs we knew!!!Quote:
