Could the Corkonians look up the definition of a public forum? I voiced an opinion, which as a registered member on here I'm more than entitled to do. I watched the game as a neutral and stated what I saw. And I certainly don't post up here to be "rated", I've not got an ego problem. And littleman if you've a problem my PM box is always open. There's a difference between humility and the stating of opinion.
To say it was tactically sound to have all 11 players inside your own box for Pike's corners is a bit far fetched you'd have to agree no? From what I saw in my very own opinion, "Springers" were looking for penalties at 1-1(regardless if you dis/agree it's an OPINION) or at the very least slowing the game to crawl speed, keeper slow with kickouts, players hitting the ball away, the usual stuff.
Yes, for a 2A Cork team they did very well, frustrated an average Pike team. And they've to be commended for that at least, I just couldn't see how a team in the last 16 weren't trying to push on and try and take the game. Regardless of division.
And that penalty decision, could have gone either way really, from my viewing it looked as if they collided with each other, both having an eye on the ball. The Pike keeper should never have gone for it in my opinion. On another day that would easily have been given. That's cup football.
And the Springfield sending off was justified, as I've said before the Pike No.5 was booked for a hand ball in the first half, so the Ref had to be consistent, it was a second bookable offense for the player, the player certainly didn't take it well. And to rubbish the bias linesmen claims, Pike were caught offside, according to the stats I recorded, 23 times in the second half.(7 in the first) An amazing stat, that a Linesman could be spot on 23 times in 45mins.

Leeside hit the Crossbar in the 2nd half @ 1 0.
The Referee gave a penalty to Willow Park that not one of the Willow Players looked for!! Weird Decision.
Apparently an elbow that only the Ref saw!!
After scoring the penalty Leeside had a player sent off for a professional foul. Then 1 player from each side were sent after a tussle.
Willow player received a Headbutt and he was sent off???
Game went very open then for the last 15mins!! Both sides could have scored.
I think the Better team won but just about!!
Leeside are a good side and i wish them luck for the rest of their League / Cups & Munster Cup.
blinks,I dont care anymore theres no talkin to ya.I apoligise to the Pike posters for my remarks last week about Pike,I was totally wrong an out of order.Got drawn into something I should have stayed well out of.But blinks is it me,Springfield,Cork,Pike or just football in general that you have a problem with.If your not happy with something start a thread about it an post to your hearts content.
This is the Fai thread for all things to do with the Fai junior cup.Tactics and how a side performs or dose not perform falls into that spectrum.Can we all please get back to the Fai junior cup an whos left in it before this thread looses all credibility.
Thanks for the match report supersol.I was told the ref did no Leeside no favours alright.Leeside are a good side too an they should give Pike a good ol game alright down in Leesides place.Its a very big pitch an they are very fit so Id say when it is played its going to be end to end stuff.Looking forward to it.
Great - football talk - makes a welcome change.Quote:

As was stated earlier should be some cracking games.
Just to make a quick note. I want to start by saying congrats to killmallock on yere win. But could someone awnser me how come when a kilmallock player went down in the box in the first half got no pelanty but dident get booked either and none of the castleisland players were at the ref to book him, but when a castleisland player went down in the box in the second half the ref dident give him a penalty and was not given him a card till most of the kilmallock players ran at him telling him to book the castleisland player as he was book already so he was sent off.
Bad form on the kilmallock players side and the ref should be ashamed.
After scoring the penalty Leeside had a player sent off for a professional foul. Then 1 player from each side were sent after a tussle.

willow will have a player missing the quarter final against Clonmel Town so supersol? do you think they will be good enough to beat Town?
I think what he meant to say was that Pike were average on the day (which they were) as apposed to average full stop.Quote:

I believe Pike are rightly favourites but no way should they beat touted as superior to the other Limerick sides and for the other four i'm sure they all quietly fancy their chances. Maybe its the dark horses from outside Munster that could do it, not much has been said of Willow or Shangan so i think this weekend will tell a huge story, i fancy Fairview and Regional in their respective games purely because they are at home, Pikes game could well be decided by the officials coz both sides are big and physical and anything can happen. There will be at least one shock thats for sureQuote:
