I wouldn't say that.Free kick on the edge which Frank was hoping to see past the keepers right but a horrible deflection took the ball to the keepers' opposite side and trickled over the line. o.g in my eyes. Pike were the better side though and only for Graham Carey in goals it would not have went to extra time. Pike are the biggest shower of whingers I have ever seen both on and off the field tonight.Never guess their A manager was playing for them would you now??
Well done though to the lads,nice to see the trophies shared.Don't think any team has won the double so far this year.
Form goes out the window on cup final night...how lucky were ye to have it on a Friday night...!!! I was nearly sacked after coming into work at 2 pm on the Thursday after we won it 3 yrs ago...Reminds me must fish that medal out of gear bag..!!Quote:

....good end to season...
That wasnt the A manager that was roberto carlos the mean machine from southill, well done to the lads big effort from both teams, park have a young side that will get better i think they will push for promotion again next year,davy wall has done a great job im sure purcell is helping him out, and twohlves(john mac) i still love u lol.Quote:

Park 1-2 Pike B
What can I say about this lads??
An unbelievable effort by every single player, and without a shadow of a doubt the most satisfying trophy I've ever had the pleasure of lifting. It was a superb performance by everyone.
The game itself was a good one, if not the most pleasing football, it was high tempo for 100 minutes and both teams battled hard. Park played some nice stuff in the first half, but created only one real chance and Stuie pulled off a super save at his far post. We had a wonderful opportunity to take the lead, but Shane Considines effort went just over. Then with about ten left in the half, the excellent Dom Bourke(my man of the match) won a header in midfield, I flicked it on and Nabser pulled out a thunderbolt from 20 yards. Keeper no chance at all.
Second half we were well on top but Park always carried a threat and won a pen with the linesman giving it. They put it away and the game went to extra time.
We won a free in the first half and Frank Hogan with the aid of a slight deflection(winkwink) got our second. We held out for the win and needless to say we had a few shandy's in the club after..
Considering we were missing Cian Hannah, Shane Constable and Danus 'The Terminator' Bokens, and had Michael Geary go off after ten minutes, the character shown and the guts displayed by every man made me very proud of our boys. Well done to the Golden Nugget and all of the people who made this a memorable night and season for the Hoops second team..
Let the hoops roll on and on....
Our excellent management team:

Pike were the better team on the night and deserved the cup. The winner was a defection off the wall that wrong footed the keeper. a little luck goes a long way....
After the few very good chances we had in the opening 15 mins (that we did not take), pike had the better chances afterwards, with carey in goals pulling off some very good saves.
we did not create enought throughout the game to go and win it. Fair play to pike and i am glad the trophy went to a a club and a few of the lads i know well (seen that we did not win it).
If they can keep that squad together they will be a good bet for promotion next year (but i suspect ye will lose nabs)....
on a side note in my many years playing at jackman park (and yes it is loads, but not a long as pikes roberto carlos..;-), the pitch is an absolute disgrace. How limerick play there i don't know. To think of getting to jackman as an achievement and then to try and play football on that crap is a joke to the ldmc....
anyway hope the good Pike people i know, had a good night last night...
well said philQuote:

Afraid I missed it, however my mate who is a massive Park fan kept me updated. He even rang as the peno was being taken. He is as good as Len Dinneen.
good to see Limerick referees have each others backs covered.....but how can you defend the official when it comes to the back pass incident? first of all he blows his whistle to acknowledge the infringement..he then awards a free kick thirty yards from goal,,then after some remonstrations from the Pike Rovers players,he advances the free kick to just outside the penalty area.He awards an indirect free kick outside the box for an infringement of the back pass rule....haha...laughable!! Another major mistake by Limerick officials at the headquarters of local football...don't forget the F.A.I. junior cup semi-final..I know Regional won't.Quote:

were you on the pitch spindoctor or twohalves????
No, but very very nearby.Quote:

Yes,nearby,watching the game and as a paying punter into Jackman I am entitled to my opinion. I think you may have me mixed up with someone else my friend. I thought it was a hilarious incident, for a man to be playing right-full practically all season for Park and not knowing that he couldn't pick the ball up from a throw when he goes in goals!!! He actually played very well in goals too in fairness.Quote:

up there with a handball in the box a few years back when finnan was in charge (first time), winger goes down the line, gets to by line and crosses the ball. defence calll for a goal kick due to the ball crossing the line, the ball comes into the box and a defender hears the calls (no whistle from ref) and not being under pressure does a paulo dicanio and catches the ball. Everybody looks in amazement, the ref blows whistle and gives peno for deliverate handball.......which they score from...lol
Good to see the lighter side of football lads and it's great to be able to have a laugh about it. Was watching a game saturday evening when the ball literally "broke" to the midfielder,there was a huge bang just as the player was about to half-volley the ball forward. He got some fright as did a lot more of the players. There's been a lot of serious stuff this year going around with objections etc.but at the end of the day it's Sunday league football and guys should be thankful to be able to play and have a run-around and should enjoy it a little bit more.Quote:

I have a better one i played in goals for star against fairview in the league a few years back think we were 3-4 down so i put the water bottle on the goal line not thinking. two min later the view forward took a shot which i got a finger to but still beat me and hit the water bottle and went wide....... everyone there seen it........... except the ref who gave a goal kick..
you need to see a doctor or take off your invisible cloak.....Quote:
