You are right, Regional should never have objected to a team fielding an unsigned player whose nickname was put on the match card because no one knew his real name. It's only the FAI sure!Quote:

listen if this rule is correct and if and i stress if their is an objection gone threw then pike should be out..Pike would do the exact same if it was them as would any club so dont give this bull about taking your beating if your beating unfairly u deserve to object im totally 50-50 here and if thier is no truth in this rule then well done pike great win..and more stupid talk about regional they didnt break the rules park did and look were they are now in the semi..i would love to see regional win it best of luckQuote:

Not all players with Limerick would have been down as PRO either AFAIK. Some would have been amatuer still as they would have been on part-time contracts so they would not have needed regrading..Quote:

This is all a huge load of horse sh1t. Pike are too professional an outfit not to have every single law and by-law checked out and I'd put my house on there not being any sort of objection lodged anywhere. Seriously, this section of the forum is a laughing stock sometimes with the wild conjecture and mindless muck spreading displayed on it. Stick to the football lads.
I fancy a Pike v Fairview final now, and they'll have to sell tickets for that. It will be a bumper crowd. Regional, although a very good footballing side, seem to be a little light squad wise and with the exception of Aherne, Galvin and Butler don't seem to have players with the bottle for the big game. Pike will be well up for it after last Sundays comeback.
When are the games on?
Easter Saturday (April 3rd) Fairview v Regional,7.30pm,Jackman. The other semi is in Cooke park I think on Easter Sunday at 2.30pm.
pikes game is at cahir parkQuote:

The behaviour of the manager after the fourth goal only reinforces the view that Pike are a team that a hard to like.
Can Pike win? Certainly!
Will Pike win? Very hard call. On paper they are better that Clonmel Town but Town have settled a lot since last autum and are now hard to beat. They gave away two terrible goals in Killarney and are unlikely to make those mistakes again.
My humble opinion: if Pike put in a half like the first half last Sunday they will lose because they will not come from behind against Clonmel. If they play like they played in the second half against Saints they will probably shade it.
If Pike beat Clonmel, they will believe their name is on the cup. But Clonmel like playing in Cahir. It is a lovely ground, lovely pitch and on a fine day, it is one of the finest junior grounds in Ireland. I'm delighted that Cahir Park (who are 100 years old this year) will entertain two of the country's top teams in an FAIJC semi.

Lots of experience in Regionals squad, and I'm sure they will be quietly confident against a Fairview team that knows this semi will be anything but straight forward. Was at their last league meeting and How regional lost is beyond me, bar a deflected goal Regional battered them. Regional V Pike final for me.Quote:

as a Clonmel Town fan I hope you are wrong but I have to agree- I cannot see town beating Pike- I don't think we have enough goals in our side and I cannot see our midfield competing with Pike's.
Would love to beat Pike for a lot of reasons but cannot see it
cooke park is cahir park, lovely suface and should make for a cracking game.Quote:

But their antics were very poor regards Time Wasting / players faking Injuries / Manager kicking a second ball on the pitch etc. They never tried to play ball at all!!
The better Football team lost but results are what count!!
I hope they go on to win the cup but i doubt they will??
We have played clonmel down through the years they always have football teams sad if they convert to those tactics

Leave out the sarcism carrick hoop.let's just say they do things properly and what harm is that.if you're trying to insinuate something just come out and say it.
St Michaels have objected against Pike and Kilmallock have objected against Fairview.Quote:

Kilmallock are claiming Paul Danagher assisted three clubs in the one season. Don't know about this?
Paul played with both Limerick and Mervue(on loan) in the last 12 months, so Fairview are his 3rd club but i'd imagine the 'view would have this sounded it out before they played him.Quote:

Does a Loan consitute one of three clubs.... He was signed limerick and was still a Limerick player when playing for Mervue.... you see it all the the time in the premiership etc a player is signed loaned out then gets signed by different club in January Transfer window.....so why is there different rules for Junior soccer? or am i just talking tripe ;)Quote:

Lads i've been following soccer for a long time in Limerick and i feel sorry for clubs in general, the FAI are a disgraceful organisation and probably the word organisation is wrong because they simply can't organise. There never seems to be any defined laws, there is ambiguity in everything they do and they never come out with a statement of any kind to keep anybody up to date. I just hope they come out and clearly state what is going on and if objections are in where do they stand and when will it all be started.
its a pity for the four clubs left (possibly 6 of course) that the competition is beind dragged down to this level again and if the clubs were guilty i hope it get s sorted quickly
Trust me I find it very hard to feel sorry for Pike. They knew the rules and were very quick to point out the rules to get Town thrown out of the Munster. The rules were very unclear then and stil are. Yes the FAI are a joke but for me and most people having sympathy for Pike- forget it. Irony is a word that comes to mind. It’s not an ideal way to win or lose an FAI but as they told us in Pike back in 2007- rules are rules!!Quote:

But he was available to be loaned out again, as Newcastle were interested in that option so it would have still been three clubs he would have played for in the year- Spurs, Portsmouth & Newcastle if went ahead. I am not sure of what the procedure is of the three club rule i thought it only apllies if a player signs for three different clubs but O'Hara has only signed for one club Spurs a loaned out to other club. The Danagher situation i think will be sticky if he had signed for Mervue or if he just was loaned out. If the latter i personally think the View are ok but if not the latter then there could be trouble.Quote:
