why cant they appeal, sure that is nonsense, by law you can appeal any decision made by a body
Because they wrote a letter to the FAI saying that they would'nt fulfill the fixture,thats a walkover in any mans language,isint it???so the game was awarded to the AUL,which is only right and proper.Quote:

Celtic have enough quality players to give Pike a good rattle (keeping 11 on the pitch will be key) and with hopefully a good bit of home support will give them a good chance.
Pike should have beaten carrick that day in all fairness,even with the 10 men,and they are a lot stronger team since then,should be 2 good games though.
Can anyone translate??Quote:

Pike will bring decent support, plus town vs wildies, cahir vs saints, cashel vs peake all kicking off nearby at 12 so anyone from these clubs can do both games if they want. Also i think town b and celtic b playing in clonmel at 12 so some of them will be down for game. be great if all tsdl football fans can come and get behind celtic. Pike is the ultimate challenge for this young celtic team great for them to test themselves against the best junior team in the countryQuote:

Just also want to say, how well Saints played last weekend against Sheriff, it was one of the best Junior football games I saw in a long time, It is unreal to see just how high the standard of Junior football has got. It suited some Saints players and it didnt suit others, their pitch that is. It is a huge disadvantage to any team who are used to playing on "real grass" to tackle the speed of the ball on a plastic pitch. The ball never stops dead, constantly bouncing. Saints gave a great account of themselves last Sunday, and the supporters were great, 2 buses, people travelled on trains and also plenty of supporters drove. Sheriff will be very hard to beat but we deserved a crack at extra time, given the pressure we put them under in the last 17 to 20 mins of game. Pa Quinn did everything apart from throw himself in the net and Sheriff have a brilliant goalie, he saved them from game going into extra time, Michael Rafter is a huge loss to Saints and he showed this last Sunday, he scored a great goal, hit the inside of the post from a free, and took to the new surface like a duck to water! Having said that, Sheriff were a great bunch of lads, and their hospitality after the game was a credit to them. We just have to crack on now and win the league and hopefully get a good run in the Tipp Cup -Quote:

superb win for cahir park youths down in cork against a highly rated passage youths side. Into the semi final now
Some win for clonmel celtic against pike delighted for them. Saints win again in league very nearly have the league title secured now. With wilderness beating town looks loke cahir and borris finish in bottom two. Id say bansha and oldbridge will be eager to go up will it be 2 up 2 down or only 1 like last year

Did anyone hear to discussion on the Oscar Traynor fiasco?
It didnt sound great to be honest. the presenter hit him pretty quick with the sticky question. noel byrne on star today saying peake had no problem with there players playing oscar traynor week before fai games. even stated they had no problem playing a league game the same day without oscar traynor playersQuote:

lad i cannot believe we are back talking about the oscar traynor again, who cares?? in a week where clonmel celtic had a super result against pike and nobody saying a thing about it if that was saints or town the forum would be all about it. i think celtics win on sun will make their task all the more difficult in fai as i genuinely believe pike underestimated them last week but i still feel celtic have it in them to win that game in limerick and best of luck to them.Quote:

I am a Clonmel Town supporter but have to say hats off to Celtic. Hopefully they will get the recognition they deserve. Hope the local papers and Tipp FM give them plenty of coverageQuote:

Back to clonmel celtic, superb side, very young hope they stick together and dominate tsdl for next few years. Janesboro in next round of mjc will be very tough but at least they are at home and if they want to win the competition have to beat the best at some stage along the way. Pike in fai will be very difficult and talks that they have got in another 2 ex loi players will only make them harder to beat. But celtic with evan back and if they can defend aswell as they did last sunday again have a chance to progressQuote:

Fully agree with all the positive remarks about Celtic's performance on Sunday - a more comfortable victory would not have flattered them. In particular I was very impressed with the defensive display (the 4 across the back - Scully in particular looking very assured & confident, along with Kevin Waters who switched on occasion with his full back - all excellent and very disciplined). With Evan Maguire to come in for the FAI game - Stephen Ryan did well but not a striker - there is plenty of grounds for optimism ahead of that game. That said we all know the huge advantage it is to play at home in these competitions - particularly in the latter stages - but Pike know they'll have to play well to get through. As for the Munster - is Maguire missing the semi as well - as big a task to win that as was last Sunday if not more so as complacency won't be a factor in any team facing Celtic from here on in.
Great also to see what I believe was a fully local team (open to correction) which was reflected in the honesty of effort and commitment from all concerned (and I say that as one who would probably shout for 'Town in a local derby - if you get my drift!).
Was talking to a TSDL Committee member in Clonmel last Sunday and was told that if top 2 in Div One want to go up this season they will and 2 will come down. It would take a 2 thirds majority at the AGM to stop this happening and he could not see any other club, let alone 30, stopping teams going up who want to go up.Quote:

In my opinion the TSDL made their decision regarding participation in the Oscar Traynor in the interests of St Michaels primarily or made even under pressure from St Michaels. To be honest whichever it was I don't care. St Michaels players made up the bulk of the squad so it was a real issue for them. I think Villa need to come clean on this. Was Byrne on a solo run voicing a personal vendetta or was he speaking for the club. If its the latter and if Peake Villa have such a problem with the TSDL that they attempt to embarrass them in the national press why don't they resign from the TSDL and apply to join the North Tipp League. Either that or get rid of the mouthpiece.Quote:

Thats football and i have no pity on Lewis although you do have to feel sorry for the players of the Junior side, Lewis isnt the Kingpin that he thinks he is in the FAI afterall...
Best of luck to Celtic, different kettle of fish up there now in Pike, very hostile crowd and area, interesting to see how they cope with the fasvourite tags..
agree with all that ya said .was most impressed with celtics keeper too for a young lad very composed and his kicking was top class .celtic have a quality squad now with paul kennedy back now he is a provin goal scorer
Very hostile crowd and area?could you elaborate a bit more.clonmel celtic played a pre season up there and they were made more than welcome like everyone else is,i think your'e getting a bit carried away with yourself.Quote:
