What a horrible,horrible season for football. I hope the FAI,MJC,LDMC and some clubs learn from this series of debacles which have really screwed up what we are all in the game for,simply a game of Sunday league ball whether we play or support... it's sad!!
Sorry for interrupting all the doom and gloom but would it be ok to mention the game that is going ahead on Sunday! 'Town will probably be favourites but Villa have a few handy players who if not 'gotten into' could cause some problems. Villa are without their centre half having been sent off in previous round - a big loss. I think 'Town will have too much for them but should be a good game. Great venue and looks like should be a good day (as long as there's no ash showers!). Is it true that Robbie Costigan has re-signed for 'Town - timely and excellent news if true - especially as Raymie's 'nose job' could keep him out for a while.
not sure if robbie signed heard nothing, raymie be massive loss though he was having a great season. robbie is center back for tipp senior footballers so cant see him being 100% committed to soccer but if town have him just for mjc and fai im sure they wont complain. i fancy town sunday cause its on in cahir they have slight advantage ill go 2-1 with goals from scully and moroney
Great news. Thanks Galla!
Costigan is also Tipp senior football captain this yearQuote:

Not slipping, just had a bad bad day in front of goal. Could have been 3-0 at half time and 7-0 at full time. Ritchie Ryan was a spectator. I don't think he made a single save. CTFC back 4 were excellent, as in fairness were Villa's defence.Quote:

I couldn't make the match but fair play to Town, great to have one final to look forward to ( whenever it will be played). Congrats- I am told by anyone who was it that we were the better sideQuote:

Evan Maguire and to a lesser extent Rory Kiely improved things greatly on their introduction. Ian Barnes wasn't on his game while Barry Murphy isn't good enough to be in the starting line-up - as a sub he's ok to bring on (that said if it does end up a 'Town - Carrick final, some role reversal for him having scored the winner for Carrick in the final in 2004(?)). First time out in Cahir for a couple of years - some set-up. Be great to see a regional or national final there this year.
was at the game yesterday and was blown away by the new facilities in cahir, fair play to them. as for the game, villa were truly terrible going forward. how they got this far is puzzling but you have to admire them for it. town are far from the finished article and certainly not as strong as previous years, that said i would think if you had told town they would be in this position in october they would have grabbed the hand off you. i expect them to win one of the big 2 competitions now
Let me say it again, the game would have gone to penalties - no replay. I have just heard the Clonmel Town manager say on Tipp FM about how close it came to a replay at Ozier Park and Hooper74 stated the same. Not true. Would someone tell them there are no replays in this competition. The final will also finish on the day - extra time and penalties.Quote:

In the event of a replayed semi-final the receipts after the payment of expenses shall be divided in proportion of one-third to the association and one-third to each of the competing teams.
So I guess this means the semi's will go to replays - but it doesn't state it very clearly, as item 4 on list says 90 minutes + 10 minutes each way (if needed) + penalties (if needed). It seems to suggest that the semi finals can go to replay but no other round???
exactly....sundays game would have been replayed in ozier park sunday weekQuote:
