can somebody from town explain why mckeever is not mr popular anymore..........how can ye argue with such success. dont get too complacent and start thinking ye have a god given right to turn up and win the league every season. it may not be so easy this time around. pity saints seem t be on a downward curve though, and villa are shocking at the back. havent seen celtic but hope one of the 3 can put up a challenge for the leagues sake
Sunday 24/08/08
Clonmel Credit Union Premier League
Clonmel Celtic…2 Clonmel Town…4
St. Michael's…6 Cahir Park…1
Rock Rovers…2 Old Bridge…3
Peake Villa…4 Rosegreen Rangers…0
Cahir look like they're in trouble already. They play Rock Rovers on Wednesday night, which seems to be a must win already, even after just 3 games!!
Peake Villa look like the team to beat at the moment.
how are villa the team to beat,town are only side with 100% record and saints are getting going now too,with town going away to bansha and villa away to celtic saints will be watching very closely,will be a big week,anyone know are villa still down those injuries?
villa the team to beat? look i have been lookin at the league for over twenty years and we all know that villa will lose next weekend to twn and collapse. lost by 5 or 6 to town and michels near the end of last year. have no defence this year. suprised to hear they didnt concede against rosegreen. as for injuries, i hear only barry ryan is injured.enough said. anyone at town vs. celtic? whats the verdict
were Villa not extremely understrength when hammered by Town and Saints last year.who exactly is injured from Villa? O'Connor was sent of against Saints..so I presume he was missing against Bansha / Rosegreen
Had they a strong side against Rosegreen?
Very surprised at the hammering Cahir took from Saints...to beat them 6-1 is fairly impressive as they have been taking things seriously.
Its really going to be between Town, Peake(with their returning players) and Saints...
totally agree villa will be hammered next sunday and should have been against saints but for poor finishing in the first half and inexperience of youth in second half,as for o connor i heard he played sunday? as for barry ryan he went off injured with his knee against saints hasnt played since,he is a mouth piece but one of their better players,that defence wont hold out wednesday or sunday,same 2 will fight for the title as every year
Am sick of listening to everyone on about Town and Micahels going to walk the league again. And that Celtic and Peake will have a say.
Why isn't anyone talking about The Brdige, they are back and could win the league, The FAI and Tipp Cup this year...........by the way I am langers today was on the Mickeys Finns before work:):)
I am not dissing my own club. I have followed Town for a long time and I am concerned by the way the club is being run. I have to be honest and admit I don't know Tony Scully or Maurice Walsh. However, looking at the club, I don't think it is being run properly and a lot of things have gone on that they were responsible for. In Tony Scully's defence, he has been involved in football all his life and I was more disappointed with him. However, I would love to know Mr Walsh's credentials in the game that allowed him to have such a high profile job in the club? Who did he play for? What exactly as a PRO has he achieved?Quote:

I am also a longstanding Town fan and I heard about all this slagging off of club officials, so I decide to join this forum. Well I don’t know the three men you talk about personally, but Brian O’Donnell and Tony Scully have been around football a long time and they have both done a lot for the game. Tony Scully was a great player with the Old Bridge, did his stint there as manager and also was assistant to Billy Lambe when he was first manager of Town.
Brian O’Donnell was a founder member of the TSDL and has been involved in football all his life. Look at the all weather pitch that’s in the complex. I am not saying it was all down to him but he was the Chairman.
In relation to Muiris Walsh (it’s not Maurice) in my time following the club (almost 30 years) I never seen Town as high profile as they have been over the last few years, maybe with the exception of 1994. He has brought the club no end of publicity.
He is a regular guest on Tipp Fm’s sports show on a Monday night and I have to be honest he is the best analyst they have and that includes all sports, again all of this is good for Town. From talking to a few people from within the club, he is the man responsible for Mckeever being at the club and he is as passionate a Clonmel Town fan as you would get. People have told me he is one of the brightest and sharpest people in Clonmel Town and the big hope is that he will be chairman one day.
So before you start slagging off any of these three men, get your facts right and as people have said if you feel that strongly about it, go to an AGM and say your piece. That is the correct forum not here!!
I am not the biggest Town fan in the world but I do know the 3 men been talked about very well. I think maybe they are getting alot of stick lately cause of what happened last year when Town were kicked out of the Munster and there was no re-precusions within the club because of this?? Muiris Walsh does a great job within the club from what I know but he doesn't live in Clonmel anymore and has 2 new children so maybe he doesn't have the time to do as much work in the club like he used to. Brianie O'Donnell aslo gives up alot of time for the club with running the all-weather pitch etc. Not sure of Tony Scully's role but I agree with the above everyone knows who Clonmel Town are they are very high profile but maybe it is time for a change in the background who knows.Quote:

Good result for Villa tonight....Celtic not an easy place to go and come away with full pointsQuote:

In defence of Muiris Walsh, I think he writes well for the South Tipp Today paper and is an excellent analyst on an otherwise dull Tipp FM Monday night program.
Top man.
I think Town were delighted to get away with all 3 points in Bansha Wednesday night. It was a close game and Bansha were missing 4 starting players. I hear Pa Quinn has just transferred from Cahir to Bansha.
I didn't hear about Pa Quinn leaving Cahir; didn't he just join them from St. Michael's??Quote:

costigan is big addition to town,their back 4 has been suspect for a long time,going to go watch them play villa tomorrow,any team news for either,can costigan play?
As long as Costigan's Transfer Papers were sent registered post by Saturday he can play Sunday
very good signing. to put it simply and let us all b honest, if villa dont stop town taking 3 points away from thurles tommorrow we can all look forward to another boring 1 horse race of a league again this season. as a supporter of neither of the top 3 { if we are to include villa this season} i hope there can be an upset tommorrow and at least a draw. however, i fear the worst
spoke to a villa man in cashel tonight and they are without danny graham,polish centre forward,barry ryan and both duggans,cant see anythin other than a convincing win for town,saints and town will fight it out just like every year
town beat peake 2-0. looks like its towns league again. michaels beat rock 9-1 . looks like saints are getting there act together after dodgy start. relegation will be between cahir rock and rosegreen, think the other teams are alot better than these 3
you are right about the relegation scrap i hate admitting it but Rock are in real trouble already if they get badly beaten against Town in the next game i think the team will be lucky to stay together till xmas,looks like there is serious unrest in the camp....:mad:
who did all the scoring for Michaels, they have scored is it 21 goals in their last 3 league games?
Was at the Villa/Town game. Villa were the better side in the first half. Denied a definite penalty when michael ryan was hacked down. The ref bottled that decision. A couple of good saves kept Town in it, and Villa missed a glorious chance after thier center mid went around the keeper but then managed to hit the post. Town started to play the better football in the 2nd half. Some terrible defending from a corner gave them the lead, and villa didnt really look like scoring after that. o'conor is playing center half for villa, which is surprising as they looked to be missing the cutting edge u front.
ya was at the second half of town game yesterdy. villa arent as strong as expected. o connor at the back is a strange one as they seem to be very lightweight upfront. town look good for the league again, not playing great but grindin out results, always have a chance with the scullys in your team
Couple of things.
Firstly I have always said that Muiris Walsh is a brilliant analyst on Tipp FM. He is by a mile the best on that show and I do look forward to listening to him. I didn't realise he wrote for South Tipp Today. If he does the GAA stuff, well again he is superb. Thats my last word on him.
Great news about Costigan signing. Mind you the defence looked good yesterday against Peake, still he is a good signing. Great 3 points yesterday. Hopefully we can kick on from here
what time is he on tipp fm at tonight?
TSDL refs are having a laugh this year. Have seen T.Maher , T.Keating and now M.Coady and they have all bottled decisions in big games.
Anyone else had any experiences or seen any of this so far this year??
Badly need linesman in big games and in local derbies?? Anybody feel the same??
All I'll say is that how Michael Ryan was not given a penalty yesterday was unbelievable.....
it was a foul but it was outside the box but no doubt it was a foulQuote:

I've been saying this for a few years now. I've seen it happen so many times, but like you say, there is nothing that can be done. If you make a complaint, you only end up making things worse for yourself and your club!Quote:

At the Town and Bridge game 2 weeks ago Emmet Johnson went one on one with the Town keeper and tried to go round him but was kicked up in the air. Everyone kenw it was a peno bu the ref bottled it cause it would have made the game level 2-2 if peno was scored and the ref would have had to send the keeper off.Quote:

Ref bottled it cause he knew McKeever would have let fly at him after the match. Chairman of refs was at the match and he even said the ref had an awful game and that he should have sent of keeper. TSDL Refs cop on and be fair and don't bottle it against big teams
Who had Town Playing up front? Is Aaron Moroney injured?Quote:

How did the Peake defence play? I know they conceded two - however according to reports on this site earlier in the season they were at sixes andsevens earlier on in the season. Surprising O'Connor (I presume Ted O'Connor) was centre half as he would be regarded as one of the more dangerous forwards in the league played at the back? that said I think he played there some seasons ago
Who had town up front? Aaron Moroney and Rory Kiely? who scored?
And my final question......who was reffing?
Michael Ryan has started the season on fire but stupidly got sent off on Sunday for 2 yellow card offences, Peake could easily have gotten something from the game but when you play the top teams you need to put away your chances, FAI Junior Cup draw on tomorrow, is South Tipp in with North again?
saw the first half of saints game...they are very much getting it together and big danger to town,alan barry looks very good,went to see the villa town game,o connor was excellent centre half,after seeing them in cooke park it was a masterstroke,they should have beaten town,ref was totally one sided but villa missed a glorious chance to lead at the break,lacking a bit of phsicality around key areas,need a big man to partner barry ryan and need a replacement for duggan in midfield,whats the mystery surrounding duggans absence?
I think it was Blossom on last night not MuirisQuote:

If they had a full squad (two duggans, horan and the polish guy), i think they could maintain a serious challenge for the title. Although it seems like every season they are missing 2/3 players every game.Quote:
