well done to the lads, good win on the road at the weekend . any reports
ringmahon were one up after twenty mins and were comfortably the better team at that stage. then came the turning point in the game, a cross from the right was flicked on at the near post, with a celtic player ready to nod it in a defender handled it and took it off his head. penalty and a straight red card. from then on celtic were the better team but ringmahon were still dangerous on the break.second half ringmahon lost the plot.firstly came red card number 2 which imo was unlucky the centre half jumped with his arms as every player does and caught ioseph reilly flush in the jaw.it certainly wasnt deliberate and he immediately apologised but the ref had already flashed the red card.spoke to him afterwards and was apologetic but said it was an accident i certainly believed him seemed like a genuine guy to me. celtic inevitably scored the second shortly afterwards and were going to win comfortably at this stage then finally ringmahons number 6 got his wish and got himslf sent off aswell with an awful challenge hed already been booked and it was only a matter of time till it happened his attitude was terrible. celtic then got the third and game over the cork side tried hard to have another player sent off before the end and should have succeeded only the ref obviously decided 3 was enough. could have been a good game but for indisipline on the cork side they certainly showed signs of what they cud do early on however credit to the celtic players who kept their heads well when everyone around them coundnt even find theirs
Fair report but IMO the centre half new what he was doing. If everyone jumped they way the CH did you would have no one left on the pitch. I was right beside the incident and the ref got it right. Yes was nice guy off the pitch but not in this case. He never even prostested about the card. That says it all.
agree it was a red card but genuinely dont think he meant it.i see a few of there "supporters" disgraced themselves on sat night in there accomodationQuote:

I taught he may have been sent off aswell, I think Jennings took down the Ringmahon player. Jennings was at fault foir the Ringmahn goal but went on to make a brilliant save in the second half. In the end Celtic deserved the win and now go away to Mayfield on the 23rd/24th May.Quote:

We will never know, but they looked the better team with 11 players but nothing between the teams at that stege. It all changed with the hand ball (foolish) but Rangers still held their own with 10 men. But most people at the ground would have put money on Rangers to win with 11 men.Quote:

Well done to all the Celtic lads involved with the St pat's Connacht winning side today. As per web site the club had 7 out of the 8 players involved.
If we can field a team we will be doing well. Alot of injuries so we've only played 2 games. We also handed the match to Drogheda a few weeks back. I can see ye winning this oneQuote:

(except derry whos squad was all u20 i think)Quote:

Will Celtic enter a team in the U-20 league. I think the coaches at Celtic should take some credit for the success at st. Pats and also heard Breaffy won their section with 4 Celtic lads staring for them and also well done Derrywash who also had a couple of Celtic players when winning their sectionQuote:

looking very progressive for us at the mo with entering the u20s aswell. :)
What was the celtic game like last night? thats a very strong bench to have, great to have it.
Any players showing potential of been able to play at higher level this early in the season?ye seem to be playing well.
ok celtic are now 3rd in the table but have a game in hand over Derry City - do they have to finish top to have play off with other top team to get into first division or what is the story?
Celtic 2nd, 3 pts behind Salthill and 2 in front of Derry after 6 games. Dont know the play-off formatQuote:

Was the crowd like at Castlebar-Salthill?
decent crowd. in and around 200 i would say but not totally sure. there was probably more at the first game against derry but we have been getting good crowds for all the gamesQuote:
