Hope it won't be a one sided game. Still looking forward to it. Celtic should complete the 2nd part of what could be a treble. Still finals are finals and anything can happen.
As far as I know both Games were awarded to Saints and Cashel. The TSDL decided they constituted walk overs in both cases.Quote:

Thats hardly fair unless the wilderness refused to play, also I see peake villa were awarded a win without
playing a game is that the game between them and the bridge where an illegal player was played, seems like tommy lewis is making up his own rules that result should of been clarified well before the end of the season, I take it its two down and not one as was first said earlier in the season.
The 2 Up 2 Down rule was rubber stamped at the last AGM. League will not revisit changing that rule after 3/4 of clubs voted to keep it the same as it has always been.
How recent was the last AGM? Its strange the points were awarded to saints and cashel if its a case of the games being pointless as wilderness cant catch catch villa surely a point each would of been the fairest thing to do. Saints vs celtic was a meaningless game so why did that have to be played?
TSDL AGM held every June.
I just thought they were gonna do one down two up to make it a 9 team division again.
But that relegates the Wilderness when they could have finished above Peake Villa!! Surely the Wilderness didn't give walkovers.Quote:

Wilderness played Cashel at HOME 4th Nov and lost 2 - 3 ---- They played Cashel AWAY 3rd Feb drew 1 - 1. This means that at most they have one game outstanding which is AWAY to saints. Peake Villa 7 points Clear so would make no difference. As far as I know Saints game was to be played on a Wednesday evening under lights and Wilderness did not field.
The Wilderness were down to play on a wed night against Michaels, they apparently gave notice 2 or 3 days prior sayin they couldn't fulfil that fixture and it was deemed not enough notice. The fact that it was a wed night ,in my opinion, should have meant they were contacted prior to the fixture being made to see if it was possible to play it. It's outside the normal time for fixtures which is a Sunday.
Wilderness were losing 3-2 when the game was abandonded and they were told it would have to be replayed and the michaels game as bishbash stated they gave notice as they had lads working its ok for michaels they were at home but wilderness had to travel. Up until sunday villa were 4 points ahead
With one game left how did they get 3 points without playing there last game?
'The Celtic/St.Michaels game brings down the curtain on the Premier division. Several issues had to be decided at the boardroom to complete the league tables which will be updated on the official TSDL website.(1) The game between St.Michaels and Wilderness Rovers was deemed a walk-over to St.Michaels as Wilderness did not fulfil the fixture on the fixed date.
(2) The game between Wilderness Rovers and Cashel Town, which was abandoned at 62 minutes because of a waterlogged pitch when Cashel were leading 3-2, was deemed ‘result stands’ with Cashel Town winners.
(3) The game between Peake Villa and Old Bridge, which Old Bridge won 1-0 was awarded to Peake Villa because Old Bridge players were not registered on time. None of these decisions affect any issues in the league.' Source, Nationalist.'
I think the Wildies got a bit of a raw deal and I couldn't see a 'bigger' team being treated in the same manner. In relation to the Cashel game the rules state that 'an abandoned game must be replayed unless the rules of a competition state other wise'. Do the rules of the TSDL state otherwise? With the Wildies 1 goal down with 27 minutes remaining there was every chance they could have come back. Also it was my understanding the TSDL games are scheduled for weekends unless both teams can mutually agree an alternative date. It was quite obvious that a Wednesday night didn't suit the Wildies and it's not as if there wasn't time to fulfil this fixture (i.e. when has the entire TSDL programme been complete at the end of April before). It's irrelevant whether people think Wildies hadn't a chance against St Michaels in Cooke Park (remember St Michaels haven't won in 6 games so a suprise result wasn't out of the question). Having making these 2 unfair decisions the League then relegated Wildies by giving Villa the points against Bridge (the decision about this game should never have been left to the end of the season). The Wildies were relegated at a TSDL management meeting and not on the field of play and that is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Shame on the TSDL.
You got that post spot on Roberto, yes the wilderness may have still gone down but least there wouldn be any arguements the villa and bridge game should of been decided months ago I wonder would the wilderness have any hope going to the fai or are they suppose to just accept it and move onwho knows what affects this will have on there club CRAZY tsdl.
its mad stuff again by tommy lewis. where else would you get it? cup final tonight. best of luck to both teams, can only see a celtic win. il go with 3-1
How strong a team will Celtic put out? Eye on Sunday week?
I think with the squad they have whoever they put out will make things tough for villa but its all on the day so you never no what might happen hopefully it'l be an entertaining game with plenty of goals.
