haha that made me laugh now balls.
I wasn't at the game yesterday but when I heard what happened I cast my mind back to the Tipperary Cup semi-final of two seasons ago. It was between Celtic and St.Michaels and two minutes from the end Saints scored what looked a perfectly legimitate equaliser, no flag from the linesman, no protest from Celtic, a perfect goal. However after a pause of about 30 seconds the referee decided to overrule the linesman and adjudged the goal offside. Guess who the referee was.
1st off I'm not sure how he disallowed the goal that came off the crossbar, 2nd, the other incident did not cross the line that's 100% certain so that's a non story. As regards officials the referee is probably the worst in the league he somehow managed to award a free against johnny Cagney for getting kicked in the chest. He is so inconsistent is a joke. As regards the 1st half I was definitely watching a different game I don't understand how some feel st michaels should have been 2 up at half time as Celtic had the clearest chance with Evan McGuire. The best player on show yesterday was Dwayne Burns who was outstanding.
great win for Tipp Town Fc in cup yesterday. Draw for last 8 should be interesting
A couple of points on the game yesterday as an avid saints fan I certainly dont subscribe to the view that the ref hates saints and goes out of his way to annoy us , I do honestly think he is best ref we have and in fact is a very decent guy but saying that I do believe he had an off day ( which we all have )
On the game itself it was a pretty timid 1st half with nothing in it and I thought either a piece of magic or a mistake would be the difference unfortunately it was the latter on Celtic 1st two goals the 1st and individual error and the 2nd poor organisation that left Stephen ryan at the back post , credit saints with getting back into it and should have fit equaliser they deserved whether you blame the ref or not I would rather look at the chance s we missed the 3rd was really against the run of play yes he was offside but the saints should had played on and nit just stood up . I honestly believe we done enough to get something out of the game as there was nothing in it and 3/1 was a very unfair to us
To keep goin on about ref should take from a great Celtic win, good luck to them and I hope the cup will stay in the tsdl
Celtic will have it all to do to win the munster but after a result like yesterday they have no one to fear
everyone knows the standard of refs in the tsdl is crap not for just st michaels but for every team ,,,some of them are to old and need to retire some are just blind and some go around like they are the bees knees. they have this attitude that they are right all the time, but tommy lewis would want to start attending other games not just saints all the time and see what is going on all the time. we need some new refs lads so anyone on this think they are up to it ???????
are you volounteering yourself for the job qwertyabu????
who would want to be a ref to be fair they get some abuse .Im not sticking up for them either as i have had plenty of run ins with a couple of TSDL refs down through the years. i was at game yesterday and i think the officals were poor .best of luck to saints and celtic in the cups ,and celtics time is coming to be top dog in TIPP
the referee in question was an Evergreen man all his life, where did clonmel celtic come out of??? an evergreen and st olivers amalgamation, id say myself he was givin the 60/40's to Celtic!
Yeah cause clonmel Celtic have never been on the end of bad decisions. Conspiracy theories anyone? I'm pretty sure the ref Sunday was from tipp town, should the keeper from st michaels not been sent off for running 25 yards out of his goal to shoulder evan McGuire 1st?
sorry bishbash, you knew what i meant, the linesman!!
bishbash 1st of all the referee last sun is not from tipp town, and secondly he has definantly no allegiance to st michael's. you do have a point about the keeper running from his goal but that was after the linesman had done his swan act. maybe the ref felt saints had been harshly treated already?? interesting.
Republican, I think it was you who said in a recent post 'that we should drop talking about this as it takes the gloss of what was a great result for Celtic'!!!!!
I know Sgtbilko brought it up again but I would ignore anything that guy says because when it comes to Celtic he has a habit of spouting rubbish.
Anyway back to important matters. It looks like St Michaels will just have the league and FAI to fight for after Sunday considering who is reffing your Tipp Cup game this Sunday :):)
all refs are going to have an attachment to an area or a club. unless you get limerick refs to do tipp leagues, waterford refs cork etc but im sure we would have worse gripes then re costs, standard or one countys refs etc.
Anyway back to football. Should be good game tonight in cooke park. Full squad to select from i hope :) :)
sorry roberto didnt realise that. subject closed so :) yes i wouldnt rule anything out. could be a short season :)
with mcguire been sent off sunday i wonder will celtic's history of lack of dicipline come back to haunt them as they move on tomwards the penultimate stage of major competitions, he will be a serious loss
Oscar Traynor Cup; TSDL 5, Cork A.U.L. 1. With the exception of a ten minute spell early in the second-half this was walk in the park for TSDL. Totally superior. Scorers were Michael Rafter (2), Jimmy Carr, Cooper Fahey, Kevin Waters. Team was Derek Breen, Chris Higgins, Kevin Waters, John Shanahan, Chalkey Walshe, Colin Bargary, Cooper Fahey, Michael Rafter, Noel Kent, Jimmy Carr. Subs used were Jim Carroll for Bargary, Joe Harkins for Kent, Declan Peters for Carr.
You left out Trevor Cosgrave nononsense..tough draw against the aul next.tsdl will need everyone back for that game
Getting boring at this stage. Whenever you post I always think of the quote 'It's best to remain silent and be thought of as a fool, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt' as it really suits you.
For someone from Cashel who professes to be involved with Cashel FC I find it strange that you have not commented on or ever made a post regarding Cashel's excellent league form this season.
I going to ignore all your posts from now on as they are quite sad.
Ps It's nice to be involved in the 'penultimate stages of major competitions'.
Yea, sorry about that. Don't envy the manager selecting the team to play the holders. The fourteen used last night did nothing wrong. The manager has instilled a good team spirit and commardrie among the players - and they showed their respect on the field. Speedy recovery to captain Paul Breen who couldn't play and is ill in hospital. Unfortunately he will miss collecting his award on Saturday night in Clonmel. St.Michaels will have serious worries for big game against Sheriff as Ritchie Ryan and Paul Breen now in battle against injury and illness.
i agree with nononsense and must commend the manager. Seems organised ( well as organised as one could be when in charge of tsdl oscar traynor team) seems to be getting decent commitment and results have been good. Not much more you can ask for really. It was a strong side the tsdl had out despite missing breeno and richie ryan and should give the dublin aul a good game. Anyone else think dwayne burns could be worth a call up for this match. Would be great player even to bring on from bench for final 20 mins when opposition are tiring. Is this the 3rd year on the trot we have met dublin aul in knockout stages if memory serves me correct. Surely due a win against them.
Just another quick one i have a hunch tsdl youths will go well this year also in youths inter league. winnable game next away to desmond league saturday week and with saints and town out on national and munster youth comps be great if best players from both camps commit to tsdl youths team. Its a winnable competion with a bit of luck along the way :)
you must of been googling quotes were ya? im well aware of how well the team are doing this season, dont need to be blowing about it on here, do you not agree with my point that celtic had a lack of dicipline in recent times? how many got the line last year? i do recall a peake game, another important one last week!
It is looking like 90% of todays games are gone already. Feel sorry for Cullen on their big day at home in Munster cup, now they have to go to Cork.
could michaels or tipp town not have given them a dig out?
II presume u have to be asked with saints having 2 fields tipp town , St Nicholas and Bansha nearby unless all pitches not playable it would be a surprise if Cullen didn't have back up plan
Anyway saints 8 Borris 1 tell it's own story Borris took lead but one way after that , I think Borris in big trouble
Dont think your allowed to give " A loan " of your pitch to another team , Something to do with insurance ... I might be wrong though
seen it happen plenty of times over the years Redman
For a national (F.A.I.) or provincial (Munster Junior) cup game it is possible to move to another ground as long as it is within reasonable distance of the original venue i.e. approx 15 minutes. It was hard luck on Cullen-Lattin losing home venue. St.Nicholas were most helpful and Cullen-Lattin had contingency arrangements made to move to St.Nicholas ground, if necessary, but such was the rainfall on Saturday night/Sunday morning the Solohead ground was waterlogged.
dont think st michaels have ever loaned out there pitch and ever will,,,,,,,could be wrong but dought it
no need to bring saint michaels into it. No clubs loan out there pitch its just not the done thing, the match is either played, fixture reversed to away teams ground or is postponed. And of all grounds in tsdl cooke park has probably been used the most for cup finals and represntative games in matches that havent involved saint michaels football club.
Some may think in cork for example smaller clubs can get use of pitches for bigger games but this comes at a cost of €150-200 so the club who owns the pitch are actually benefitting.
Cullen were just unlucky with the extreme weather and with there being no fifa approved full sized all weather pitch in tipperary to use as your back up pitch if ur hit with that weather you will lose home advantage. Wish them best of luck in refixture if Bansha beat Coachford with 10 men, cullen are more than capable of beating them aswell
Numurous clubs in limerick have loaned their grounds in the past to help out other local teams and im sure they will continue to do so,cant see what the problem is really in all fairness,all clubs should help each other out,and i might also add its done free of charge,although most of the clubs that avail of these normally give a donation to the club that helps them out,
we are not saying theres a problem here in tsdl so dont know what your on about. we were having a discussion about an unfortunate situation where one of our clubs game was called off due to weather and back up pitch was also waterlogged. not really too interested about your comments of limerick clubs playing happy families
