I was at the game in tipp town and it was the ref`s jersey that was grabbed. Player shouldn`t have done it but he`ll suffer the suspension now. All I`m saying is this is junior soccer. Players get heated and as far as I`m aware no ref was injured. A years suspension is more than enough. Any player I know if they had to sit it out for a year wouldn`t try that again. Calling for such long bans is a bit over the top. Lets not forget there are plenty of refs in this league who can make smart comments during a match which riles up players. As for talking to a captain, I`m only on about big decisions that change matches like a sending off or a penalty, disallowed goal etc. It would allow the other players 10 seconds to calm down while this was happening.
Who? where and what teams are involved? a match in tipp town with hands on his throat?
Willie Burke should be ashamed of himself for abondoning the Killenaule vs Killusty,he was never assaulted and it was farcical what happened,both sets of teams were in shock at what happened,the Killusty player simply had his hand on Willie Burkes shoulder questioning the sending off which to be fair was an absolute disgrace of a sending off as nothing happened,now i know the law says you cant touch the ref but common sense should of came into play by Willie absolute 100% he was not assaulted.We now have a situation were a player is going to get a long ban for doing nothing its a disgrace.Willie Burke should do the decent thing and retract his report
Willie Burke was a disgrace sunday for calling off the game it was a very harmless what happened the 2 teams were shocked that he abondoned it,unfortunately a killusty player will now serve a lenghtly ban for doing absolutely nothing.Quote:

Thanks Chops and welcome to This forum. This incident as you tell it does not seem to compare to the others we have heard about, but as you say the player will get a ban and being the third this season will probably get tarred with the same brush.
Anyone hear about other cases, I think they were down to be heard at TSDL meeting last Tuesday Evening.
All schoolboy games off again this weekend and forecast is for Snow tonight and temp of -4 to -6 Saturday night. Roads will be deadly and most pitches will be solid. Could be a very quiet Sunday again!
Could well be off, and the bad news is you won't get home advantageQuote:

Trying to defrost the pitch by turning the floodlights on hardly counts as a thaw.Quote:

well as i said pony the stand could shade some of the pitch maybe this is why the lights were on and ideally saints would want to play on cooke park but 2nd field is wide open so they could play the game on that. looking at the game last week anyway i dont think it would have mattered where it was on clonmel or tipp michaels were far superior but i have to say graham doyle was a huge loss for ye.
predictions for tomorow lads if they go ahead
saints should have enough for newcastle west although there probably desmond leagues best team, but if saints are full strength and its on in cooke park ill go with 2-0 to saints which will leave them sitting pretty in last 32 of fai and mjc and top of the league heading into xmas, they ll have to be happy with that.
Borris will give celtic a real test will deffo be goals in this one. ill go for celtic 3-2
Town should have too much for cashel but you never know on the day. ill go for clonmel to win 2-1

Town are 2 points clear at the top of the league?
Ah im only windin ya up pony, i reckon twill be a close one, infact im tippin borris to take this one. Maybe aet.Quote:

I dont know much about newcastle west so wont bother commentin on that one.
taught saints were one point clear must be game in hand they have that confused me sorry bout that
You could be right....im going on the table on the TSDL website, i would fancy wins for Celtic, Saints and Town and Cashel to end a draw and Town to win on pens or in extra timeQuote:

peake villa game also off doubt there will be any game on today
There is no way Tommy Lewis would let any club call off a game before the morning of the game even when common sense told most people matches had no chance. Most pitches were solid yesterday and it went to -8 last night. Thaw is meant to start St Stephens day. Looks like a day to finish the xmas shopping!!!Quote:

Celtic v borris is off aswell.
thats dissapointing now pony. maybe people in clonmel should try to get to the top of the game with hard work like john delaney has done instead of begrudging him and st michaels to be fair he has done an awful lot for soccer in south tipp. michaels have got floodlighting, town and celtic have got 1st class all weather pitches during his tenure and you can be sure fai funding paid some part in all of those.
John Delaney is figure of ridicule in the nations press,all the pundits and experts have a go at him on tv,former players have lashed him in the media and he is the man who appointed Staunton....so for the good of irish football lets hope nobody in clonmel or anywhere else in Ireland follows his exploits :)Quote:

thats not very fair tipp top. the majority of leading journalists are dubs and incase you have never been to dublin they dont even think soccer exists outside of dublin so it kills them to see a man from down the country being the top dog in the fai. we all know the staunton appointment was a mistake but the irish team have made huge strides since and we all had the honour of seeing them train in our own county when they trained in cooke park a few years ago. you ask the people of a small country club in west tipp called st nicholas fc how good they felt to have trappatoni liam brady and co open their grounds that year also. the irish team had never played a game outside dublin until they played in thomond park. but as you say give the ceo job back to a 'jackeen' again sher and we will be back to the old days again.
The FAI is recognised by every genuine sports fan in this country as a shambles of an organisation,they were the laughing stock of world football when John Delaney asked "please sir can we be the 33rd team in the world cup"....we all cringed as they laughed on tv discussing itQuote:

They have always been a shambles including when his father was there and all the scandal over the world cup tickets,so it is never something to boast about being the head of an organisation such as that showerQuote:

I know I was there! Trap has been in south Tipperary visiting clubs 4 times in the last 12 months alone and other members of the FAI team ie Paki Bonner, Liam Brady and Ray Houghton have been here a number of times this year and that is only south Tipp. You having to pull up 1 visit that lasted 15 mins over 5 years ago only makes my point for me!!Quote:
