spoke to a villa man in cashel tonight and they are without danny graham,polish centre forward,barry ryan and both duggans,cant see anythin other than a convincing win for town,saints and town will fight it out just like every year
very good signing. to put it simply and let us all b honest, if villa dont stop town taking 3 points away from thurles tommorrow we can all look forward to another boring 1 horse race of a league again this season. as a supporter of neither of the top 3 { if we are to include villa this season} i hope there can be an upset tommorrow and at least a draw. however, i fear the worst

town beat peake 2-0. looks like its towns league again. michaels beat rock 9-1 . looks like saints are getting there act together after dodgy start. relegation will be between cahir rock and rosegreen, think the other teams are alot better than these 3
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
you are right about the relegation scrap i hate admitting it but Rock are in real trouble already if they get badly beaten against Town in the next game i think the team will be lucky to stay together till xmas,looks like there is serious unrest in the camp....
who did all the scoring for Michaels, they have scored is it 21 goals in their last 3 league games?
Was at the Villa/Town game. Villa were the better side in the first half. Denied a definite penalty when michael ryan was hacked down. The ref bottled that decision. A couple of good saves kept Town in it, and Villa missed a glorious chance after thier center mid went around the keeper but then managed to hit the post. Town started to play the better football in the 2nd half. Some terrible defending from a corner gave them the lead, and villa didnt really look like scoring after that. o'conor is playing center half for villa, which is surprising as they looked to be missing the cutting edge u front.
ya was at the second half of town game yesterdy. villa arent as strong as expected. o connor at the back is a strange one as they seem to be very lightweight upfront. town look good for the league again, not playing great but grindin out results, always have a chance with the scullys in your team
Couple of things.
Firstly I have always said that Muiris Walsh is a brilliant analyst on Tipp FM. He is by a mile the best on that show and I do look forward to listening to him. I didn't realise he wrote for South Tipp Today. If he does the GAA stuff, well again he is superb. Thats my last word on him.
Great news about Costigan signing. Mind you the defence looked good yesterday against Peake, still he is a good signing. Great 3 points yesterday. Hopefully we can kick on from here
what time is he on tipp fm at tonight?
TSDL refs are having a laugh this year. Have seen T.Maher , T.Keating and now M.Coady and they have all bottled decisions in big games.
Anyone else had any experiences or seen any of this so far this year??
Badly need linesman in big games and in local derbies?? Anybody feel the same??
All I'll say is that how Michael Ryan was not given a penalty yesterday was unbelievable.....
it was a foul but it was outside the box but no doubt it was a foulOriginally Posted by Den Perry
its a pointless exercise really moaning about refs. the big teams get the majority of decisions (st michaels and town). in the town celtic game with the score at 3-2 celtic were denied one of the most blatant pen you would see anywhere. paul shanahan was hacked down for celtic and the ref gave a free against him probably the most idiotic decision i've ever witnessed! but that is the way it is in the tipp league the refs dont have the bottle to give "vital" decisions against the big 2 and you either accept it or stop playing. .
I've been saying this for a few years now. I've seen it happen so many times, but like you say, there is nothing that can be done. If you make a complaint, you only end up making things worse for yourself and your club!
The league really needs more former players to start getting involved in refereeing but most just couldn't be bothered. When they stop playing they just want to finish completely, and who could blame them!
At the Town and Bridge game 2 weeks ago Emmet Johnson went one on one with the Town keeper and tried to go round him but was kicked up in the air. Everyone kenw it was a peno bu the ref bottled it cause it would have made the game level 2-2 if peno was scored and the ref would have had to send the keeper off.
Old Bridge managers confronted the ref T.Maher ( who is not a premier league ref ) at the end of game and he admitted he made a mistake and that it should have been a peno but the ref said that he would have had to send the keeper off if he gave the peno..........managers just said yeah thats your job isn't it. Ref bottled it cause he knew McKeever would have let fly at him after the match. Chairman of refs was at the match and he even said the ref had an awful game and that he should have sent of keeper. TSDL Refs cop on and be fair and don't bottle it against big teams
Who had Town Playing up front? Is Aaron Moroney injured?
You said Peake lacked a cutting edge up front? Who had they playing there? have they not got graham and Michael Ryan?
How did the Peake defence play? I know they conceded two - however according to reports on this site earlier in the season they were at sixes andsevens earlier on in the season. Surprising O'Connor (I presume Ted O'Connor) was centre half as he would be regarded as one of the more dangerous forwards in the league played at the back? that said I think he played there some seasons ago
Who had town up front? Aaron Moroney and Rory Kiely? who scored?
And my final question......who was reffing?
Michael Ryan has started the season on fire but stupidly got sent off on Sunday for 2 yellow card offences, Peake could easily have gotten something from the game but when you play the top teams you need to put away your chances, FAI Junior Cup draw on tomorrow, is South Tipp in with North again?
saw the first half of saints game...they are very much getting it together and big danger to town,alan barry looks very good,went to see the villa town game,o connor was excellent centre half,after seeing them in cooke park it was a masterstroke,they should have beaten town,ref was totally one sided but villa missed a glorious chance to lead at the break,lacking a bit of phsicality around key areas,need a big man to partner barry ryan and need a replacement for duggan in midfield,whats the mystery surrounding duggans absence?
I think it was Blossom on last night not Muiris
I believe he's away in Australia or someplace. Fogarty going off at half time was also a massive loss to Villa. They dont have the strength and depth on the bench to lose key players like those. If they had a full squad (two duggans, horan and the polish guy), i think they could maintain a serious challenge for the title. Although it seems like every season they are missing 2/3 players every game.
