Michael's supporters were shameful in their actions in Carrick last week, however the Michael’s web site condemned their behaviour. If the cap fits !!! . Huge task for Town to win the cup they will need to beat Pike and Fairview.
With no Dublin club in sight its amazing the semi finals are not on St Pats day the final next Sunday !!!, such was the rust to get from 16 to 4 in a two week period
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]From the St Michael's web site ..........A PIKE- FAIRVIEW FINAL LOOKS NOW VERY LIKELY, ........ not even a best wish for Town. [/SIZE][/FONT]
what a fantastic win for pike,dont play a lot of purist football but loads of character,grit and will to win today.st.mics were cruising at 2nil and should have made it 3 within mins of the 2nd half,but enrights goal and no reaction to pikes change of tactics from the saints bench changed this game,thought donovans goal superb and the incessent amount of long balls and frees into st.mics box told in the end.the centre half breen and right full higgins had stormers for the losers,pike,s hanrahan and mullins were excellent i thought.pikes squad depth can be measured by the fact no barry,harnett or colbert played today all ex leag of ireland players and they also have the likes of carrol.ryan,cleary,daly,mullins again former leag of ireland players,and a word too for pikes young keeper who did well.its pikes to lose in my opinion.
dont try and make something out of nothing it was a bit of manter it happens on every sideline at big matches.(and we are talking about connie after all):confused:Quote:

So just 4 left now lads well done to all four, i went to Pike game today and thought only for their keeper Michael's would have been out of sight. I think each of the four left will quietly fancy their chances. As a neutral i'd like to see Pike Regional final as i saw tese two play in the pike field last year and it was a very good game, good luck to each team left, its gonna be a very good finish to the competitionQuote:

I got abit excited alright it happens in football if i upset anyone i apologise well done to the lads yesterday Da bishop i still love you.
Very well done to the Hoops yesterday. Great result lads. Well done Connie.
Well done to all semi-finalists - 4 from Munster is great.
Credit to Limerick 3 teams in the semi finals.
I wouldn't be Pike's biggest fan but fair play coming back from 2 down to an excellent St. Michael's side deserves credit.
The two teams that won away in the 1/4s meet and the two home winners meet in what should be two cracking games. I know there will be a lot of good discussion here about merits of both sides (hopefully not to much mud slinging). But I for one will be keeping my wallet firmly in my pocket as I would struggle to pick a winner of each semi - never mind a possible overall winner.
can somebody put up the starting teams for pike and fairview and who got the goals cheers.
Well done to all the limerick teams yesterday especially pike. Were immense yesterday. A great day for the club. Regional v fairview will be on in jackman, and clonmel v pike down in cooke park. Is this the venues for the semi's. Still bad blood between clonmel and pike over the objection ruling a few years ago in the munster junior so should be another cracking game. Fairview Pike final would be a great spectacle for limerick junior soccer. Regional will have a big say in that though. They played Fairview off the pitch a few weeks ago but ended losing 1-0. They are also Pike's boggey side, so they'll fancy their chances at this stage.
pike game on in cahir parkQuote:

Heard same, played too many downgraded players from Loi. or something along those lines. Tipperary team have appealed. Afaik it's automatic disqualification for fielding illegal players in Fai comp.Quote:

Shocking.....but if the rule is there and they've broken it, then only thenselves to blame!!
Biggest load of nonsense I've heard in awhile, if that's the case, how was it that not one other team this season has objected to Pike or Fairview in the FAI and I'm sure a few other teams? Next thing we'll be hearing whispers that Pike didn't have enough foreign nationals in the team under rule 123456 Article Z.
Well I believe it happened to Clonmel Town a few years back, they were expelled with no option of appeal.............so nonsense it is not............
If St.Michaels have an objection in, it's game over for Pike. Mick's have alot of "friends" on council. It's just a shame teams(inc Pike) can't just roll over and take the loss, you've been beaten by the better team, end of story.
easily said but after the hardship by all teams to get as far as they have why should a taem be knocked out because another team gains an advantage by illegal means(if it is true,hopefully it won't be the case though)Quote:

I believe they have objected..............
The rule used to be that you had to be 3 years out of Pro before being fully regraded and you could play four x LOI players in the cup.Think the rule now is and i am open to correction, that you can play as many as you like unless the are regraded in that season. eg Dave Ryan, Wayne colbert Brian Clary and Brendan daly could not play yesterday....lucky for Pike that wayne did not play if thats the case.Fair play to Pike grat comeback and best of luck in the semi...hopefully an all Limerick Final.
i dont agree with this take your beating and get on with it nonsense,rules are rules they are there to be followed pike only have themselves to blame if it does go against them,i hope its not true id love to see a pike fairview final.Quote:

Still it would be an awful pity for Pike to get this close and be thrown out in an office, but surely a club with the resources of Pikes would be smart enough to have all the bases covered. If not shame on you.Quote:

I'd imagine Colm Carroll was the 4th ex league of Ireland player. In fairness i doubt Saints have a case.Quote:

If any team breaks the rules they deserve to be removed, no matter what sport.. Rules are rules. However they will only be removed following an objection followed by the governing body’s due process and decision. It’s all idle chit chat at present with not substance.
Thus all the s1t on here does not matter, but having said that it makes for great reading.
