Yes still playing abit wasnt the best of players but love the game and the club,were going true a rough time the last couple of years havent enjoyed what has went on,the fai,s seem to be a thing in the past for us,its tough having too come down from the clouds,the last sunday wasnt in high spirit.
i honestly think the standard of soccer in the premier has declined a lot. 1A isn't great either. we played geraldines in the lawson last sunday, they're up near the top, they won 3-0 but honestly Athlunkard dominated most of the match. i was lookin forward to watchin ye on sunday but ye didn't play well at all. the standard of the game in general wasn't great i thought. i don't think ye'd have won the fai this year based on sundayOriginally Posted by trueview6

You must have been president of Fairview at some stage then as presidents are the only members of the club afforded the life members tagI wasnt cocky at all who on this site thought erris would take us i couldnt see us losing at all,i lost alot of money on it myselfcouldnt believe jason just came on to take a peno no warm up crazy stuff,hefo with erris keeper we best on the day for me and by the way messi my family founded fairview and im a life memeber
As i said monster my family were founder members of fairview rangers iv put in alot of my on spare time Voluntary into the club are you ok with that,what did you think of the match sunday.

I dunno.... The Athlone team are nicely positioned as underdogs and unlike some teams left in the competition are not under estimating the tough task ahead. However, having beaten two previous winners (carrick and Westport) plus having played a Carew Pk team in 05 who were there or thereabouts who they should have beaten in the replay of the FAI 1st round proper, those experiences will stand in good stead. I have them @ 33/1 and they now stand at 6s I think. Needless to say they are also great value this week end against a fancied Lisselton Rovers.
[quote=Fr Damo;1128775]I thought Lisselton won this game last sunday 6-0!!

Was Christy Doyle not playing?
[QUOTE=complexman;1128790]no we beat city utd 6-0 at weekend. playing st peters this sunday. hopefully with a little luck we can get a result but st peters are obviously strong having beaten last years winners and i think they were intermediate as well back in 2004 or 2005.
ya he was playing. fairview had the better players, no doubt about that. just didn't perform on the day. erris are a big physical side and defended resolutely, no fancy stuff, just cleared it away, frustrated fairview a lot. erris had a small fella playin centre midfield, he won his battle in there and had a fine game, very quick

Do you think they will beat ballymun.
it'll be another close game but i reckon ballymun will shade it. i've never seen them play but i've relatives playin in dublin and they said ballymun are excellent. lot of pace about them which won't suit the erris defenders who aren't the quickest. that's what you need against a defence like erris, a fella up front to run the sh$ite out of the centre halves, keep them on their toes and win a few frees off them. the dublin lads won't fancy goin to mayo though. ballymun to win it 2-1
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
Ah dont get me wrong - i hope erris all the best and will def be there for the semi final as i know one or two of the erris lads
i reckon ballymun will beat erris if it was on in erris own ground than id fancy them but you never know they will fight to the end and it will take a massive effort to beat them
I dont think there is any clear favorites left in this year on there day anyone can beat anyone especially at home. i am lookin forward to watchin Peters and lisselton this sunday should be a very close game with 2 hard workin teams...was wonderin from clonmel point of view who would they prefer and when is the semi scheduled and venue..cheers...
ya it's anybody's trophy now. have any of the teams left in it ever won it? definitely not erris. i'd say clonmel have?
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
clonmel won it in 94 i think and ballymin won it a few times i think..i think the other 3 teams is a far as they have ever been,,
ya i thought i remembered clonmel winning it alright. they always have strong teams in Clonmel. massive town. it'd be nice to see Erris win it
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
Of course im ok with that.
As for the game thought Fairview left it behind em - there only 3/4 players away from being an excellent side.
what areas would you strengthen?
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
We will be back.
