i like to see an all limerick fai final cos it would be on in limerick then all true soccer supporters would come out and watch the fai cup coming back to limerick its been along time since its been here and connie stop been modest it would be some cv if you won a clean sweep its in your own hands and you would be the first in limerick to do so
no doubt about the bit of luck needed,but with the squad they have assembled pike are favourites and their last 16 draw couldn,t have been better.depending on the draw we could certainly see an all limerick final.best of luck to all.
left back, your prediction there that pike will have it though down in cork is spot on. Leeside flyin this year in all comp and unbeaten this season so far. All this talk about pike doing clean sweep is a bit ott, there was alot of talk about pike winning munster junior a few years back also and leeside went to limerick and beat them. yes maybe pike have strengthed there squad this season, i dont know! what i do know is leeside have and have done it very well so you never know, all i know is that the other 15 teams in fai and 7 in munster junior will be doing all they can do beat pike espically when you log on to see all this talk about clean sweep when there is a long way to go!!!!
Yes, undoubtedly it's pure madness that Pike are even being considered for a supposed "Clean Sweep" but in fairness it's a little naive to be talking up a team that has yet to capture a domestic premier league title no? Especially considering Pike demolished the current Cork AUL holders Wilton in the MJC just last week. And from what I recall Pike did win a MJC or 2 in the last 4-5 years no? What season did Leeside beat Pike of interest?
Then again the cup is a different animal altogether, anyone witness to the Ballymun/Clonmel game would agree.
Leeside and Pike will be an excellent game better than some LOL games easily. Hard to pick where to go see an Fai junior cup game with so many of em Sunday, but Regional V Balla has to wet the appetite a bit. I wont be a bit surprised if 4 Limerick teams in quarter-finals. Good luck to all.
Bluey leeside beat a depleted pike team that day as a lot of players were left out because of the fai against bally
un the following week which they duly won.a full pike team that day would have beaten leeside out the gate.
dunphy your still barking up the wrong tree i'm not andrew and its a pitty you don't concentrate more on your football than picking on a 17 year old and blaming everyone that way you could of been lineing out this weekend for your team instead of standing on the side lines watching p.s you should blame your own club everyone knows how to appeal to munster council postal order(take the hint they don't want you) the best of luck to all limerick teams this weekend balla are still 100/30 in paddy powers to beat regionel
Pa moloney 100/30 first goalscorer Sunday .that's good value will he take the penos????
Don't think hartnett takes them .I think Wayne dunny takes them .ya that's in paddy powers
thanks
What price are Springfield and Crumlin Utd??
Regional are struggling for sunday from what I hear. Keating, Mullins, Finucane, Docherty are all definitely out. If this is the case it could go either way.
They went down to yere place before as well and won so we'll just have to wait and see
serpico hes not on the penos dont tell pa moloney hes 100/30 to score first he wont pass the ball, this morning he told me he was on the corners and wanted to get into the box and score as well i knew something was up lol.
If anything carrickhoop i think ye are favourites infairness ye had tough matchs to get where ye are today, its all on the day and i think ye won it 2 or 3 yrs ago so carrick ye have the experience of been in that position before dont think pike got as far as the semi finals.
The unfortunate thing about this F.A.I. Junior Cup thread is there are too many comments from and about Limerick teams and too few contributions nationwide. It is the biggest national competition, yet is dominated by Limerick comments. Is Foot.ie not read nationwide? What a pity neutrals like me don't see a better spread of good comments.
Nononesence, brilliant in its simplicity but bang on.Legends in their own minds.
Correct me if Im wrong but the last time Pike sung so loudly from the rafters that they were going to win the Fai was with their supposed dream team 3 seasons back,an they lost to Grattan down in Cork.Quite posssibly the most over rated club in the competition every year,,,,,,,rated by their own which makes it worse.
The reason they are being talked littleman is because they have a very strong panel of players this year which is probably the strongest they have ever had.they have a couple of mjs in last couple of years and I don't think grattan have any correct me if i'm wrong.by the way that meadow that grattan call a field didn't help matter either
what ever about all the Limerick posting on that thread, the bickering that goes on between them, the only thing that unites them is when a nuetral gives out about one of them, viva la springfield
You see Serpico this is the point where I stop loosing reapect for that your saying.Its not the Fai junior ''we all have superb pitchs cup''.Its the Fai junior cup,where all junior teams no matter where or what they have to play on allows them a fair chance to win the Fai junior cup.Its little stuffed up people like you who blame defeat on the standard of a pitch instead of the standard of player or the heart he has inside the jersey.We beat ye on the day because we wanted it more an ye didnt,but you choose to blame the meadow or hill or what ever else is easier to take than ye lost fair an square.Christ man a small bit of dignity in defeat would probably earn ye a lot more respect.I dont dislike Pike as a club,a great club with a great history ,I dislike the disrespectfull posters like youself who proclaicm themselves Pike people,despite not holding up your clubs virtrues.Thats why,me an bascially everyone else hopes ye loose,cause of the few like you who choose to throw excuses an insults rahter than accept defeat with dignity.
Red,Iv have had plenty of experience of winning an loosing to Limerick clubs over the last few years.Pike/Ballananty/Regional an Kilmallock to name a few good proud solid clubs,with good people supporting an playing with them.But I have no idea why certain so called Pike supporters seem hell bent on turning people against the club.It baffles me.Best of luck to all the sides in the last 16(im as jealous as xxxx its not my club) but my heart hopes Springfield win.
Ps nice to see Fairview going strong again.A lot of people have good time for them down here.
fair play littleman, couldnt put it better meself, pitch, hill, grass, weather, wind, rain, ref, linesmen, bunch of hackers, long ball merchants....all come out when they're beaten. When they win yer a sound bunch of lads. there are plenty of Limerick clubs left in the FAI so we have to grin and bear it I suppose, but the Limerick lads have plenty of threads to bicker and slag each other off. Cork, Sligo, Mayo, Wicklow lads can look at the Limerick threads if they wanna read all the nonsense.
Best of luck to all 16 teams left in it, hope to read some balanced views on the games on Sunday night. Could be a perceived shock or two on the cards?!?!
serpico,your own club seems to have a history of being knocked out by so called smaller clubs.Its fine being confident but,if Springfield win,what will your escuse be,the meadow.
When the crowd from Donegal beat ye.was it the pitch too or was it something else.Pardon me but it seems like everytime ye loose its because of something other than
Ye wernt good enough.
An by the way our players were on the Irishs junior squad with yours against the Norther Ireland an Scotland teams
3 seasons ago,but our players were on the squad an the pitch against the USA in the amature squad,where were yours.
I stood next to Connie when he an our then manager discussed after the game how it was the 1st time in 5 yrs that a club had scored 3 goals against Pike an he had respect an genuine respect for what he had been beaten by,but you dont.
Enjoy tomorrow,it might not end tomorrow but it will end before the final.
Only those deserving of greatness will achive it.
you don't see the other limerick teams on here talking sh1te,have a little respect for your opponents and the other teams left,many of which are past winners
is there odds on first goalscorer in all games and where do you get them lads. sound
In the second tier of games (those not involving Limerick clubs!) the carrick v michaels game stands out. Although Michaels had a bad result last week they are a solid team and Carrick without Wayne Fitzgerald are beatable. A lot depends on the ref in this one -don't envy him. A strong ref and Carrick could go out.
How good are Killarney - 'Town to go thru?
Tipp name on the cup for sure
absolutely loved LITTLEMAN's comments.....100% correct,the whole country wants to see Pike beaten and its probably no reflection on the club or the players but instead the ignorant disrespectful posting on this site and with that kind of karma and so many people wanting Pike beaten i reckon its coming very soon,and the reason the forum is just dominated by Limerick thrash talking and domestic squabbles is because the genuine fan throughout the country just doesnt want to comment and be dragged into a fight especially when its never a balanced argument,all these guys see is limerick and have no respect for more recent winners Carrick for example
well not all of us;)
i just found out springfield who are playing pike in limerick tomorrow are in 2A the 6th division in cork :eek: pike beat a cork premier team 5nil last week no disrespect here but this might not stop at 7 or 8
