Mullins concentrate on the lawson.
Of course its tainted when a team knocks 3-4 teams out of it with an illegal player then the fai says its fair for one of those teams to get back in. At the end of the day St. Michaels should not have been given a bye into the semi final.
Is that why they call ye st michaels because ye are saints.Quote:

Pike fielded an illegal player. That is the long and short of the issue.
How would posters feel for example, if St Michaels turned up on Sunday with Shane Long playing up front, while he's home for his holidays after the end of the English season ?
It wouldn't be allowed of course. Because he would be an illegal player.
Pike are big boys. They've done the same before in the past to Clonmel Town if I remember correctly. They more than anyone should know the consequences of not having all your paperwork in order. So suck it up lads, and stop complaining. I can assure you, Pike will take a lot more care with the registration forms next year. And if they do, and win it, I will say fair play to them and wish them well. But they have no cause for complaint in this case.
you are right there widow, but that would have necessitated going right back to round 1 and having the teams Pike beat play each other one by one until the correct opponents were found to play St Michaels. Given the timescale involved, this would probably have been impossible, though the team beaten in the last 16 might have a justifiable case for expecting a game against Michaels.Quote:

I think the team that pike beat in the round before the st michaels game should do through, st michaels have no grounds to go through to the semi final, anyone tell me who did pike play before st michaels.Quote:

No,ye would have been gloating ye'r heads off!!!! As Johnny Logan sings "What's another year" and lets hope the FAI muppets have their house in order for next season to avoid a repeat.Quote:

I'm binning any stuff that's been talked about numerous times already as it's been done to death.
MOD EDIT/
See my post above.
Expect to see a rule revision in the next 2 to 3 months from the FAI.

I think Pike beat Springfield (Cobh) in round 7. Springfield were drawn at home to Sligo team, Carbury Utd, in round 6 but Carbury didn't travel so Springfield and gave a walk-over.Quote:

FAI junior cup final is fixed for Sunday, June 13th in Jackman park.
In all honesty if you listen to half the cr*p on here your not in a right frame of mind. Never claimed to be a "pikey", so I'd imagine on a public form, I'm more than allowed to cast my view without "the pikey's" losing the valuable support, and if they're drawing they're support off these fourms then the boat has long sailed...Quote:

ya pal the field is a disgrace to limerick soccer it really says it all when a limerick team with a chance to win a FAI at home and on pitch they know very well dont want to play there.
you could have the dirt bike compition in jackman park with the amount of bumps and hills all over the field.
pike, boro, fairview, id even put carew park in there now there surface has come on very impressive also kilmallock have a lovely surface. how come the LDMC have a playing surface like that its shocking
leather you might be able to answer that top pitch down the boro what are they doing wrong?
in fairness fairview,pike+boro put there own money in carew got theres for free off regeneration:loser:Quote:

The boro type of pitch requires a huge amount of time and care, especially with the rain we have been getting in the past few years.Jackmann is like a lot of the modern pitches..it is a sand carpet pitch...main advantage with this type of pitch is that it drains very quickly and very very well. the problem that i see with jackmann is that they dont have the correct maintance schedule and they do not have an irrigation system...a soil pitch holds both moisture & nutrients..the opposite is true of jackmann, nearly everything washes through the sand carpet pitches..there is the question of the amount of games and at what time of the year tey are played...Jackmann also has the problem of not being able to renovate in the summer,unlike the junior clubs.....another problem is teams warming up on the playing surface...this can do more damage in 10-15mins that a whole match..if you factor in the amount of matches with full warm ups on the playing surface, that is a lot of damage...........as a footnote, was up in terryland park pitch a few years ago...they are in the same situation but the pitch was brilliant...they have a full time qualified groundsman...that might be the answer...

uncalled for imo...
Your knowledge about these two grounds is amazing,pity you can't spell Jackman.Quote:

Terrible remark!!the money came from the department of the Environment because of the new link road which went through their home pitch at the time and fairplay to the club and local politicians for fighting their cause all the way in getting what they have.They should be proud of them great facilities they have and don't deserve the sort of slurred remark above.Quote:

Fai Junior Cup thread,take the crap to PM or take it somewhere else.
Sorry, i seem to be lost. Could someone give me directions to the thread about the FAI Junior Cup?
Really looking forward to Sunday - looks set up to be a really memorable game (pitch, weather & the prize at stake) - they tend not to be classics however. Going by COTNs assertion that Smurf & Moroney are available that makes Raymie, Dwayne Burns & Barry Ryan the big doubts - what's the latest? I think Raymies fitness (can't be fully recovered from horrible bang he got) could be crucial. His not playing would mean that Stephen Ryan would be centre half with John Shanahan - I'd be worried. Town have a few options up front with Evan Maguire a real threat so I'd fancy a couple of goals from them. They should be fresh also seeing as the last meaningful game (league games were never going to be top of their priorities after the start they had) was against Villa which was over a month ago. I think discipline will be a big factor also but with the prospect of possibly missing the biggest game most junior players will ever play as a deterrant hopefully 22 players will finish the match. As I say looking forward to it - hopefully will live up to expectations.
