Ive since heard who the referee was and it does not surprise me one bit, he has a long history of incidents in the league with teams and im sure there is history between him and the bridge! In saying that the Old Bridge are prone to sendings off so i would presume they are not no angels either way!
at the end of the day as stated in an earlier post the ref is not to blame,,,,most of the players are playing long enough to know about abusing the ref or even giving cheek to the ref, no matter who the ref is.....
Tipp town v saints b now put forward to 11 o clock with 3 officials , is that a 1st for 2nd division game ? Must b expecting a lively one !
Must be a few games off today, TSDL making sure the referees dont lose out on their few quid! Might venture over to Tipp Town, should be interesting!
Sanits opponent's today 'Greenwood' were a very poor side. They had a few lads that were "carrying a bit of Condition" They had a couple of half chances but it was an easy day for Saints. Cahir unlucky, winner scored in last minute of extra time. Heard Celtic game called off after 5 mins. anyone know why?
Greenwood were out of their depth as saints got job done very early !
saints b had a cracker of a game with Tipp town finishing 1/1 it had everything red cards , goal mouth incidents and some extremely dodgy decision from the ref , saints would be happier with a very young side who had to stand up and battle against a more physical and experienced ttfc team 7/8 of the saints team were under 21 and the policy of blooding the younger player s in the b team is been much appreciated by the supporter anyway well done both teams for serving up a proper derby !
It was called off about 30 mins before kick-off. The ref deemed the pitch unplayable.Quote:

Missing wack, Shane McGrath, and Dennis peters I hear
ref and 2 linesmen for division 2 is crazy,how are teams going to survive if they have to pay out over 100 euro for a game on a sunday morning
long time reader/1st time posting - Regarding Division 2, looks very tight regarding promtion to Division 1. Have the guys been following any of the teams involved and if so who do ye think will come up.:confused:
I asked one of the official the same and he said from now on all local derbies are going to have 3 officials , I wonder would it have anything to do with Cullen / st nicks game recently were u had 4/5 players sent off ?
Its all to do with making them a few extra quid, thats nonsense about derbies!
a club lotto, a bit of fund raisin...jayses a 100 euro once off is nothin to worry about, maybe 2 euro at the gate would pay it as i imagine a few would have went to watch.Quote:

Ya and Tipp town charged €3 at the gate I believe they made a handsome profit as there was a good crowd at gate so rather than focus on the negative of it why don't u look at it in the positive as it was a deemed a big local derby and not necessarily a 2nd division game , anyway all these blabbing about 3 officials takes away from what was a cracking game by 2 evenly matched team who went at each other from the off !
70/80 was about 40 more than were at the St Michael's Munster Cup game !! The quality of a lot of Premier football this season is also shocking.
when is it due to be played do you know?Quote:

Some tasty tipp cup ties aswell : saints vs Cashel, cahir Vs clonmel town will be cracking games.
Best of luck to all
2 evenly matched teams alright 1 all was a fair result, but in fairness if a ref cant do a game like that on his own (2nd division) there is something wrong
just a quick question for anyone on here to answer seriously,,,ok saint v clonmel fixed for sunday (provisional)only has john walsh down to ref no linemen. this is a huge game if goes ahead so again i ask why no linemen
Tipperary Cup draw:
Cahir Park v Clonmel Town.
Old Bridge v Clonmel Celtic.
St.Michaels v Cashel Town.
St.Michaels 'B' v St.Kierans.
Burncourt Celtic v Wilderness Rovers.
Galbally Utd v Clerihan.
Kilmanahan v Peake Villa.
Ballypatrick v Glengoole.
Paddy Purtill Cup semi-finals;
Ballingarry Albion v Rosegreen Rangers.
Cahir Park v Galbally Utd.
Peter O'Reilly Cup semi-finals;
Donohill & District v Redmonstown.
Ballyneale v Ballypatrick.
It's a lot to ask amateur players to play less than 48 hours after togging out for the TSDL! League carn't have it both ways getting Oscar Traynor game played and Prem games on same weekend.Quote:

they should get someone from tipp to cover the teams around the area and someone from clonmel to cover the teams in and around clonmel,,,between 2 people they should cover most of the teams and then the tsdl will get the coverage that they need and deserve,,,,anyone have toughts on who should be the people to cover the league. i would like to start off and say get brendan lonergan to cover the tipperary area,,,,,,an honest man (for a saints fan)who would give a good account of the league the town and surrounding areas
Martin Quinlivan does a fine job. I think they need somebody to cover North Tipp to be honest. Blossom is excellent, way better than anything gone before
I reckon complexman is Blossum or else he is in love with him as he is constantly raving about him. Let Walty the GAA guy do the soccer as well :D
I'm not raving about him. Yes I said a few times that he is excellent on the radio. I also believe John Power is very good as well. Im just being honest here. I like all soccer fans, want to see the best coverage given to soccer. I like Muiris but he only started going to games when he got involved with Town. Plusi think he is a Gaa man first. It's not personal
Just heard Oscar Traynor game against Wexford is off.
Blossom is an out and out gaa man first and foremost no doubt ! I think maybe someone outside Clonmel could do it for a change anyone from cahir , cashel and Tipp town even an honest ttfc guy could do ( if there is one ) ha ha but on a serious note I think the Tsdl does deserve better than what it us getting from Tipp fm what is needed is a football man not a man who tries to wear his gaa hat and soccer hat when it suits
Muiris Walsh is taking up a job with WLR. He lives there so it makes sense. Big games this weekend.
Oscar Traynor game getting called off has caused a real headache as to when it can now be played in Wexford. Clonmel Celtic have Munster Cup game next Sun and FAI week after. Could be a mid week game under lights !! Wexford youths ground may be used.
With that weather tonight I think some games will b off tomorrow but have to say fair dues to saints committee they are working on Cooke park under lights and despite weather pitch in great nick its sometime s lost on us all but lets give credit to the lads to b out in that weather to make sure the old derby against town goes ahead tomorrow well done all !
Well done to borris youthes won 1nil today at home to dunmanway in munster youthes. shockin condtions again but a great performance.
i say there will be alot called off tomorrow alright, jayses i havent seen rain like this in about 2 weeks :D
Went to Celtic v Peake game. Celtic won a belter 4-3. Some entertainment. Celtic will get slated for not keeping a clean sheet but they are awesome going forward
a good 3 points for tipp town yesterday,looking good for promotion for the 3rd season in a row,,,,,
Ian barnes and david slattery linked to saints tonight on tipp fm
I particularly enjoyed Ronan Quirke saying to Denis Leamy "it would be like amalgamating 2 parishes in Tipperary it would NEVER happen"...like Clonoulty-Rossmore, Holycross Ballycahill, Moyne Templetuohy...will i go on? Good man Ronan
Yes I believe young Slattery asked to join saints last week not sure about Barnsey but young Slattery is a good signing , I suppose with his strong saints and Tipp town connections he was always going to come over ! His a big loss to cashel not sure what's going on there they really haven't kicked on this year
