Anyway its bad form if the clubs rang St Michael's but i think anyone who is on this forum regularly will know for a long time what this thursdays game was arranged for and i'm sure St Michaels didn't need tipping off from the aforementioned clubs
lads, didnt Westport lose a semi a fews years back but got the game replayed as the winners had played an ineligible player, they won the replay and went of to lift the cup. point being that if there is a bit of skullduggery or cute whoreism going on y'd better have all the i's dotted and t's crossed cos at this stage of the competition its not just on the pitch that games are won and lost. Now I'm not trying to stir but wasnt it a Limerick team who Westport found out, correct me if I'm wrong
There are more kettles and pots on this thread than you would find in a kitchenware shop
Didnt they ring ahead and offer there place to train the morning of the match and also gave them a Run down on each of the Carew team now that is not a fair thing to do is it... Thomas72 would you liek o Comment on this ....Quote:

Just people looking for mud to throw at Pike again. Even dragging this up again.
Lads just reading back through the last couple of pages, basically Pike have arranged a fixture to allow them field their strongest team on Sunday which they're well intitled to do. The business about clubs ringing St Micheals about the fixture is ridiculous, if anyone here thinks that Saints wouldn't have known about the fixture already are very naive as their one of the biggest clubs in the region and would have alot of players and former players living in Limerick and would have them clued in. Doesnt matter what team either club field it will be strong and the game will be very close so instead of all this phony war crap lets look forward to what should be a cracking game.

Didnt realise there was 'rumours' floating about. As I said wasnt stirring, just it would be an awful pain to re-arrange a fixture to get a players suspension out of the way and then for that game not to count against his suspension. But I suppose Pike know what they are doing....
it is a fact that someone from each club rang st micheals again FACTQuote:

Clonmel Town would have to be favourites??Quote:

Should be a good contest!!
willow are complete unknowns to most of us but very well regarded and most people seem to think they will win this one....6/4 could be a great priceQuote:

I dont think too many in the clonmel camp would thank you for saying willow not in the same level....they are apparently unbeaten in all competitions this season and a few ex league of ireland players....too tight to call but i would love to see Town and Saints winQuote:

Yeah the winner of the Pike/St. Michaels game look like the eventual winners. But cup football can throw the form book out the window. But having 6 quarter-finalists from Munster shows how strong the province is in junior football and long may it do so.
like you did with killmallock
Unless you made the phone call how can you know it as a fact?Quote:
