I saw him, nasty piece of work. He'll have nightmares about Hoey for a long long time. I was onto him for the dive "3.6" I kept shoutin, "3.6 for the feckin dive you idiot". All the Belgrove numpties around me didn't like it one bit, but couldn't argue.Quote:

Was at the Hall match in Kiltiernan - heartbreaking to be honest. They had two very good chances in the first half to go ahead and didn't avail - but all credit to the Wayside keeper. Wayside then got a goal just before half time - against the run of play. But the Hall lads came out all guns blazing in the second half and really put it up to Wayside - even though the Hall were playing up hill and against the wind. Have seen the Hall play a few times this year - and that second half display was by far the best I have seen from them this season. They got a great goal and were vey unfortunate not to get another. and then just a simple error let Wayside in for their second.
Judging on what I've seen - I think Rockmount must be favouries to lift the cup.
Hope the Hall lads can lift it again for the FAI senior match V Moyle Park next week.
That sounds very hard luck, papers concur with your view of the match also. It would have been great for Cork and maybe finally we would have got the recognition deserved down here. Billy Cronin, Rockmount manager was furious that only Beech is on the Irish sqaud. How Ken Hoey, Ross O Callaghan, Steph and Buster can't be even recognised by the set up is beyond belief.Quote:

So come on the Mount, keep the Rebel flag flying high.
I'm not at the match tonight but just got a text to say they're winning 2-0 it's probably just over now, so after the long journey home on Sunday and the fab celebrations the lads are still on top form.
Heading to Dublin again this wkend so looking forward to another **** up and watching Dommie and Clarkey play managers lol it'll be a good laugh I'd say they'll be very serious about it especially how Dommie can be such a clown but I think we'll see another side to him in Dublin on Sunday
I was talking to your brother heading back on the train Clifford.
Ruairķ Beechenor broke his wrist at last nights game, he has to go see a surgeon tomorrow :mad:
He'll still be able to play for the finals won't he if they put a soft cushioned material around the plaster :confused:
I heard all about it, I was sad not to be on the train cos the craic in the Belgrove clubhouse was class (think I pointed out where the bus was hidden around the corner when yee were leaving). Hope he behaved himself.Quote:

I was there last night, Beech just went to block a ball and it flicked his wrist harmlessly, such bad luck at such a crucial time. Deasy was looking sharp as nails last night, but he's comin over here for Sunday's match as well, so he'll not be there. The FAI have really acted out of order playin this round so early. It might cost us, but hopefully not. We should still have enough strength in Coker and Ross up front. Pays to have 4 top strikers.
We were slow to start last night, a few cobwebs out there. But, once we got through the thuggery of Leeds it was a stroll. Kenneth amazes me more and more each game if that's possible. All the backs solid as ever, midfield fine without Steph and up front created, but never looked like scoring til Deasy came on. Scored almost immediately and could also claim second as it went in off his ass, but doyler not scored for ages so he's claiming it.
Oh was that you one of the girls says jesus we were nearly walking with the Belgrove players lol
Ruairķ is freaked outta his head, poor chap, he'll still get to play in the final if he gets a cushioned cover put on over it won't he???
I'd say we'll have a good game on Sunday even without a few, it'll be a great laugh I can't speak now so god only know's how I'll be next Monday morning, Branigans was a great craic after the train Sunday night, sure jesus I was practically home well Buster's house as I'm his girls best friend we were outside their house in a cab next I said feck that I'm heading back into Cubins lol it was only 12.30 after all lol
Yeah, saw yee following and knew that Slatts (jnr) and the lads were gone the other way, our car was at the hotel up the road. We arrived in Dublin at 10.30ish and drove around for hours lookin for things to do. Great fun, smelly place though ;)Quote:

Beech will be fine for the final please God, they might give him one of those light weight casts. It is four weeks away roughly. Know any faith healers?
Jesus I'd try become a faith healer myself now if I thought it would do him any good poor fella, they'll have to do something for him, as I said at least it's not his leg, jesus that's all we were short, well better not talk too much about it now don't wanna curse ourselves
So are ya heading up to the Lissadel match on Sunday, Kieran was saying to us that it's a rough place where we're heading.......won't be screaming as much this week lol
And I'm bringing a heavy jacket with me lol, I was like a knacker at the match had one of the lads big heavy coats on me but you know what I didn't give two fecks I was warm and my team were winning YEAHHHHHHHHHH lol :D
Clifford did ya notice theres no DUB'S on here since Rockmount kicked Belgroves arse lol, they were on the past few weeks saying how good this player and that player was :rolleyes:
I actually rang the lads and headed back into Cubins to them Buster and his girl went in home as she's pregnant so she wasn't feeling wellQuote:

It was absolutely scorching up their on Sunday, t-shirt weather, no need for heavy coats and it'll be the same this Sunday. :p Says I with me big warm parka for every match. Lost inside in it.
Delighted for Buster - didn't realise he was able to shoot so accurately, never tell from on the pitch eh!!!!!!! All right Johnny!!!!!!
Well I'm off to my 3rd match in three days, City v Brummies, Billy wanted to come, but is driving to the Everton v nited game with Kieran and the lads, John Delea didn't get on plane, no id on him, doh!
Oh nooooo poor John Delea, what's the story is he there now???
Now I'll have to pass on that congrats to Johnathon from you :eek: I'm sure he'll get on to get himself a wee look anyway, we were trying to figure out who you were the past few weeks :rolleyes: lol
You're right about the DUB's they were all this that and the other coming up to the Quarters of Intermediate Cup that how good Belgrove were and blah blah blah........not a whisper from them now since we kicked ass on Sunday
[SIZE=7]We'll do it again to WAYSIDE ....... yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ....... Come on ROCKMOUNT [/SIZE]
I wasn't at the match on Sunday but I heard you won well. Belgrove have gone backwards since they signed Keith Bruen from Ballymun. Rockmount have to be favourites now but Wayside are a very resilient side. You should beat Lisadell, where is the match being played. They are a really small team, with some skilful players. As regards the Amateur international team, hasn't a lot of your players played Eircom League football which would automatically disqualify them from the international team.
Not sure where Lissadel play their matches????
We're missing alot of players which is a balls, but I'd say we'll still be strong enough, Rockmount are getting better and better every year, we'll lift the cup again this year.........No Name Changes ;)
Who are we missing this wk Clifford......Slats, Ruairķ, Mickey Deasy, Step (maybe), Pat Olden......???? Anymore you can think of ????
I'm sure they'll all be in fighting spirit for the final in the Cross, I'd go as far to say we'll have Ruairķ back for that match too, I've heard he is in alot of pain still but has the Sports Specialist on Tuesday which will tell alot.
Lisadell are from the 4th Division of the LSL, so I it would be a major surprise if you didn't beat them. They usually play in St Michael School, which is located in the once notorious St Michael's Estate near Inchicore. The pitch is like a cabbage patch and the facilities are even worse. Not sure if they will be allowed play an FAI cup tie there though.
I was speaking to a lad and he says it's across the road from Richmond Park or close to it. Says bring the helmets. It will be an experience anyhow. Don't know if they will be made move it, Richmond Park has good memories for us.Quote:

With regard to the international set up you are right about the lads who've played LOI, but those who haven't are the mainstay of the team. The backbone if you like. Deffo more than one should be involved.
Bloody hell that's more than I had thought, we'll have to dig in so on Sunday.Quote:

Inchicore apparently where the Lisadell play, nice easy drive for me. Right side of Dublin.
I know for a fact that the Assistant Manager of International team was at Whitehall last Sunday, and I think Gerry Smyth, the manager was there also, so things could change on that score.Quote:

Oh holy God, sounds fantastic. I love goin back to the good old days. We'll be short a good few now at this stage so hopefully we'll not get caught out.Quote:

Unfortunately not. We got to the third round of the FAI last season, and got spanked 5-0 by UCD, who had beaten Cork City in the previous round. We had our eye on a trip down to Turners Cross and a slice of that big gate. Great experience. Best of luck.Quote:
