Littleman, by the time you and the rest of the Grattan lads came to the game, Mayfield should have been 3 up. So i think they deserved the win in the end.
For the 4th League game running, I tell the story of a game we didnt win but should have. The other two defeats were our own fault really, but this one was a little different.
Friday night football up in Castleview - we went one up and had a good shout for a push-in-the-back peno. These calls can go either way so we lived with it. Us with all the ball, Castleview very dangerous on the break. 1 up at the break. Castleview had more of the game in the second half, and equalised with a deflected shot on the hour. 5 minutes before that, we had a shout to make it 2-0 with a ball that looked over the line, but ref was close so maybe not.
We went ahead again 60 seconds after the equaliser, and Castleview pressed for the equaliser. Then came the moment that changed the game. Our Centre forward was upended from behind in the area, ref 10 yards away, no pen. In 20something years of watching football, I cant recall a more blatant peno not given.
It deflated us and lifted them to push forward and equalised inside final 10, and score the winner near the end. Heartbreaking.
The ref has reffed our last two games, and actually reffed both very well, save that one call. Makes it harder to understand how he got it wrong. Ball didnt move, so no contact from defender to ball - both ended up on the ground so no dive - cant work it out.
Olly must be still sick, seeing as we havent seen his post yet!
Roy Kenny from Castleview stood out. I will let Olly call our players.
Cheers DCross!Quote:

They were also the holders of this trophy for the last two years, so it was a game they did not want to lose. Conditions were very heavy and they had more of the ball. But we got the all important goal that puts us into the hat for the next round.;)Quote:

Not too disheartened by the defeat the performance was good and if we play like this in the league every week we should win most games. I have to add that the referee was excellent today, he talked to the players and let it flow and you could speak to him, not like the usual who are like school teachers and treat you like your 12, We were never gonna win the FAI cup anyway but it would have been good to get out of Cork
Sounds like ye gave a good account of yourselves today DCross. We have them down the Glen next Sun Morning in the Munster Junior Cup. Must say we are looking forward to it.;)Quote:

MkBucks,
Sorry wasn't at the game on Sunday. Good result for us - hence bad for you, I'd appreciate a City W. view on the game?
Seperate note - Innisvilla's new pitches and new (expensive) drainage seems to be working, All Innishvilla home games went ahead this weekend - underage and Junior...
A good win for ye indeed to put out the holders in the first round will give ye great satisfaction and confidence, no doubt.
We had 2 late withrawals and had to re arrange positions. our keeper also had the flu and our centre forward played in goal which obviosly doesn't help.
Ye outplayed us in the first half, cutting us open on a few occasions, first goal was a badly defended corner but a nice finish all the same. Second goal was freakish. long ball
(attempted cross caught the wind and flew into the top corner) i reckon any regualr keeper would have caught it TBH.
We came into the game in the second half and pulled one back with a great strike from around 25 yards. Thought we were gonna have a right go but 2mins later the referee gave the most dubious penalty ive seen in a while. your player went down the right and seems to over run the ball and slides as our player makes contact. out for a goal kick? no the ref immediately points for a peno! The markings from the slide were plain to see on the wet surface(clearly 6-8 yards away from the perfectly lined penalty area) our players were astonished but the ref wouldnt go back on his decision and ended up sending one of our guys from the line and booking numerous of our players for disputing this! Your players were laughing themselves at the desicion but thats the way it goes i suppose.
The penalty was a nice finish and knocked the wind from our sails. We continued to play well and will take alot from our performance with 10 players.
Best of luck in the rest of the competition. Its nice because a couple of wins and ye wont be far from the cross!
Also credit due for the pitch quality and drainage. Also the pitch was well signposted and thanks for the invite for the sambos which is always well appreciated! Look forward to coming back for the league game hopefully for 3 points !!
I just read the Star Aul pull out an they dont even have a Cork side quoted for odds to win the Fai,all Limerick an Dublin again.I guess somethings will never change.
Bog,how we lookin for the weekend,will the pitch be ok.Lookin forward to it big time.
On another matter I dont see why Springfield should be underdogs against any junior side at the minute,themselves and Glenvale are the form sides in the junior game at the minute I'd fancy them
to beat anyone in a one off game.
Well done G+B.Great result not only for ye but for the rest of the league.Its early days yet but hopefully that will give the rst of us some hope for the rest of the season.Quote:

Ballvolane lads, whats the story on Kanturk? Strenghts/Weaknesses - what would you do different if you were playing them again this weekend?
DCross, we had that ref a few weeks back and he was excellent too.
8 games, 8 refereeing performances.
3 Excellent.
2 Good
3 Off days.
By the way, our results are not in tandem with refs performances. We won one of th off days and lost one of the excellents.
Arite lads,
Donoughmore are a handy side as was mentioned. We played them in their place earlier on in the season. Big flat pitch. Dunno what it's gonna be like after the rain. They'll be competitive for sure. Nice jerseys!
Alright littleman! No games were played on our pitches last weekend. There's always good drying down in charles fort so hopefully the game will get the go ahead. We'll do everything we can in anycase as no game in 2 weeks and the lads are dying to play some ball. Is the AUL game the week after next?! If that's the case it could potentially be a month without a game? I'd wager it will be on! Have ye any injuries I should know about?!
Hey lads, anyone play ballintolis yet this year? any info on them??

I heard that the ref didnt want to play the match because of it but both managers agreed to play it. They are a very physical side and sullivan is a handful up front but is pretty slow. they have plenty pace in midfield though. The gaa season is over for them so they should be full strength.
In the end we won 2-1 with a last minute winner but not before a man each was sent off! After the game the ref handed out a few more reds to their players for constant complaining.
