Still on at the moment as far as I know
massive game for both sides,celtic need a result be it a win or a draw to be real title contenders and town need all 3 points,with an fai game next week im sure town will be desperate to have the pitch playable
dont worry wel have the pitch playable and wel have a warm welcome for all those celtic heads that are getting carried away with their league position. Time to be brought back down to reality, theres only 1 team in clonmel
desperate to have pitch playable for match tomorow or fai game sunday week, if game goes ahead tomoro i fancy town to nick it and gain revenge for defeat earlier in season to celtic, a team with aaron moroney,tony scully,barry ryan and ian barnes has serious experience with alot of goals init.
dont think anyone from clonmel celtic is gettin carried away just happy to be where we are, just a progressive club and things are goin well at the moment regardless of the result tommorrow. ya see there are clonmel celtic, old bridge, wilderness, redmondstown and other teams from in and around clonmel. and each is as valid as the next.
town celtic off. frozen pitch.
Were there any games played today?
i think all games were off. Hoping rustyness won t effect any of our teams next week in fai but i presume all leagues around the country are in same boat with games off so its up to clubs to get lads back up to speed at training this week. Our four prem teams left in fai have great chance of going far this year.
The weather is to stay the same into next weekend, pitches will be so deeply frozen it will take a while for them to thaw. F.A.I games could be under threat!
We'll have the undersoil heating on all week ;)
i would agree that any of our teams could on their day beat any team in the country regardless of their league or reputation
Anybody here Muiris Walsh tipping Celtic to win the league last night? I was surprised that as PRO of Town he would say that. In saying that, Celtic are in a great position
With Town out of the running, he was hardly going to back Saints now was he?
not a bad prediction. especially if the news on paul kennedy is true. is he out for the rest of the season? if so its hard to see saints scoring enough to win the league
great result for clonmel town and clonmel celtic with the blanket cancellation of all fai ties,both sides will now keep home advantage,not such a good outcome for balingarry and peake villa
surely tsdl will call of all games for sunday today or tomorow. instead of leaving it to the clubs to do it themselves sunday morning
big weekend in the tsdl,town and celtic outcome will give the title race an interesting look and villa saints all be it a cup tie will show us where both sides are at,im hearing conflicting reports from saints,some say they are training like mad while others say things are not going well,sunday will ultimately give us the answer to that
i would fancy town and villa for 2 convincing wins
[QUOTE=Mega Tots;1306629]i would fancy town and villa for 2 convincing wins[/QUOTE
il go for a draw and a saints win. especially now they are at home
saints are at home,are you sure? i dont think celtic will nick a draw,town seem to be flying at the moment
as a town fan i can tell you that the standard of teams we have been playing against lately has been terrible, we have been walkin through games, and thats without aaron. very important we get him back for this big 1
looked at the website and as i thought villa are at home to saints,also town have beaten saints away and villa in the munster,definitely not poor opposition
i will go with villa 3 saints 1 and town 2 celtic 0.....its a relief just to have matches again!!!
Clonmel Town 2-2 Clonmel Celtic
Tony Scully (CTFC) and Paddy O'Donnell (CCFC) both sent off so I assume they will miss next weeks FAIJC ties.
james o sullivan sent off as well for town so he will also miss the fai game,town will count themselves lucky stephen ryan and richie ryan were not red carded as well,referee and his officials hads a very bad afternoon,celtic deserved better
and darren burns should have gone for eye gouging. It's bad when town resort to that. Town showed today what a dirty team they really are. This tie needed a top referee, not one who quakes in his boots when surrounded by town players. They have been getting away with this for too long. We want unbiased refereeing
i think that result is the end of towns league chances now. it will be a brilliant battle for top spot now. its saints for me.
:cool: IMO at least 4 should have been straight red carded before the brawl. Lewis should use his most experienced refs for these tough fixtures.
I'm glad to hear some people echo my sentiments, especially a town man. I was afraid my comments would seem one sided but I think they are a fair reflection of the game.
Jimmy McKell was on the line today, so why couldn't he have reffed it
John Hadnett was the man for that game. Short memories when talking about
McKell he made a right mess of a high profile Town - Saints game season before last. Why was Peake - Saints game off I noticed Peake b game was played? Talking about Refs, I was talking to a ref doing a schoolboy game Sat and he said all traveling expenses for refs at all levels have been cut by the F.A.I . He said that some senior Refs were talking about retiring also the dreaded word Strike was mentioned. A ref who used to get €62 to go from clonmel to say Killenaule will now be cut by around €20. I know we all moan about refs but this could get very messy in the near future.
i was on the wrong side of the pitch to see it clearly but the penalty claim looked like a stone wall certainty. the goalie was the last man and he handled outside the box so is that a difficult decision? i
Absolute rubbish, Again! the only part of your post which makes any sense is the first sentence. Hadnett and Mckell are two v.good refs. As for the rest....The FAI have reduced their mileage rate for all employees and affiliates from .72c per mile to .50c per mile.It only happened on Friday so how the ref you spoke to knew that "senior" refs are talking about retirement is beyond me!! And Clonmel to Killenaule is 16 miles (aaroadwatch) so do the math, He's down €7. So as usual on this site, people takling about things when they clearly haven't an effing clue!!
was there much experience needed for the 2 decisions today?
