bit of a gap opening up already from 5th down
went to this game this morning.from a neutral point of view it was a good game imo.ashling matched balla physically and chased and challenged everything.balla got what i thought was a legitimate goal disallowed for offside which would have brought them level.in saying that though balla lost the plot completely after the goal was disallowed.i felt that balla spent far too much time giving out and complaining.if they got on with the game they might have had a chance..thought cummins had a fine game for ashling.he terrorised the 2 centre backs and was unlucky not to have 4 goals on the day.great save from hickey in the balla goal just before halftime to stop a certain goal by cummins.thought that balla were just feeding off long ball scraps.they will need to improve imo if they want to be up towards the top at the end of the season.Quote:

Ya,not good enough for the 'boro'..............Quote:

have to agree with halo,balla,s discipline a big problem.ref could have sent off a few more.in fairness to aisling they physically matched balla all through and balla,s back 4 lack of pace was exposed by cummins.
understandably balla were annoyed that the goal they got was disallowed.i thought it was a legitamite goal and it would have brought them level with 20mins to go.i was just disapointed how they let that particular situation affect the rest of there performance for the remainder of the game.instead of driving on and trying to equalise they resorted to giving away stupid frees which just made aisling wind down the clock.as good as balla are at times they can be there own worse enemies by imploding when a decision goes against them.its a pity really as on there day they can be a fine side.Quote:

Was good to see Mark Keane back at the pike club again,been many a long year since he played schoolboy with us. Pikes shooting left a bit to be desired and could be questioned by a stronger team. Pa Barry stood out for me, really stuck in his claim for the left mid spot,laid on first goal on a play for Moloney with a savage through ball. Its the first time in along time Pike have had such a strong bench with the likes of Phelan/Brazier/Purcell/O'Donovan/Mitchell/O'Grady.Quote:

Pa Barry stood out for me, Boro have a long long way to go to catch up with Pike.
2 Clarkes and Gregg V. good players as for the rest....:rolleyes:Quote:
