Was at Town match on Sunday. Great game. Town missing a few but I have to say as a Town supporter I'm really pleased with the attitude of all the players. The old bridge defeat apart in MJC, it has been an encouraging season. Credit as well to Jamie. Really looking forward to the Celtic v Michaels on Sunday week. Celtic are flying. Have to fancy them. They are playing some brilliant football. They are great to watch.
i hope you dont mean that it is a poor league Balls? a weak squad picked fom only 3 teams comes down to the lack of interest from players, i know for definite that in past years the league had not done enough for these guys, small things like gear, proper meal, been treated well. anyone any thoughts?
I have been told by some of the players involved that over the past few years the players have been treated very well. A new playing gear was provided at the start of last years campaign and breakfast is provided in Cahir before away matches. Still water, energy drinks and fruit is also provided in the changing rooms. Unfortunately, the after match 'grub' is at the discretion of the home team and in most cases results in sandwiches and finger food. This appears to be the staple diet provided by all home teams.Quote:

Crazy game congrats to Tipp town best of luck in the next round.they put on a good spread in the pub afterwords too.Quote:

Bit of common sense should have prevailed with morning kick offs for the majority of games where possibleQuote:

Fai 5th rd draw
Rosegreen Rangers v Castlebar/Clew Bay/Iorras Aontaithe
Clonmel Town v Moyne Rangers
Kilumney United or Glenthorn Celtic v Clonmel Celtic or St. Michael's FC
Time to put this to bed!!!Quote:

I've seen pitches at 11.30am and they could be frozen,but come 2 or 3 o clock they are playable.
So,does it not make sense?
Well said Cashelman , Well said
Betting for the big match:
Paddy Power:
Clonmel celtic 7/5
draw 9/4
St michaels 7/5
Boylesports:
Clonmel celtic 6/4
draw 11/5
St michaels 6/4
They cant be seperated, i am edging towards clonmel celtic but i can see a draw and extra time maybe penalties.
I think saints are in great position everybody seems to be writing them ( if you heard Tipp fm monday saints might as well not turn up ) alot depends on the inguries and sickness that went through saints went through over last month but it could come down to what defence copes better and fir me saints are a lot stronger across back four but its going to be a tight gameQuote:

All very quite on this tonight. Big result in Clonmel today. How did it go. Does anyone have a report?
Wasn't at the game as we had our own game but as far as I know Celtic were 3 up at half time through o hara,Kennedy and brian waters. Chawkie got 2 back for saints and apparently saints missed aloud of chances.Quote:

Be interesting to hear what excuse blossom has for saints defeat yesterday
No excuses saints did nt take their chances thats about the size of it certainly blossom doesn't speak fir saints and to b fair nor Celtic but it will be interesting to hear his viewsQuote:

Not disputing he was top player but sometimes I feel he doesn't call it like he should sometimes but to be fair was fairly even on his report tonightQuote:

Listened to the soccer part of the podcast and yes Blossom was excellent and fair to both sides.
Couldn't agree more. Was at the game yesterday and I think his analysis is bang on. I hope he stays on in Tipp FM as the soccer analyst. He is way better than the previous guy.Quote:

No disrespect but his playing /managenent career has nothing to do with his analysis they are two seperate issues from my perspective I think he plays it way to safe and sits on the fence without wanting to offend which is fine but I would like him to call it like he was as a player tough and fairQuote:

Afterall this is a programme that persists with Watty's ramblings every week!
I couldn't have said it better there was a lot of talking points from both sides and it would have been right to hear each clubs point if view but also I think the coverage never goes down the divisions their is lots of clubs in the league that never get mentioned and I think that is where blossom falls down it would be no harm to see different people from around the league been given a voiceQuote:
