I see in the Town notes that they described the challenge on Paul Scully as "nothing challenge", well it was a very late challenge from the side, so it wasn't a nothing challenge but there was no intent.
Anyway, with Town missing Costigan, Barnes, J Shanahan, Paul Scully and Dwayne Burns, Celtic will never have a better chance?

it was a foul but it was definitely not the tackle that caused the injury nor was there any intent. that said it was a horrible injury and everyone at clonmel celtic wishes paul scully a speedy recovery.

as regards the game this friday, even with the players missing town are still a stronger side by far. celtic are missing danny madigan and john cagney themselves so that is a masive blow to an already weak panel.

never have a better chance? they never had a better chance 2 years ago when they played a B team in the final!!!

John Shanahan has stopped playing for the seaosn and Dwayne is suspended. Just hope Town are up for this, celtic looked good last Saturday. Nothing between them

With Paul after having surgerey since the first game and with the captain missing with a broken leg what further motivation do clonmel town need?

**Tipperary_Man** · 23/05/2009, 12:57 PM

**balls** · 23/05/2009, 6:54 PM

it was great for the club to finally win sonething. all in all i think it was a real smash and grab as town totally dominated the game. that said it was great for cetic to just get the win.

Well done to Celtic, great win. Ye just wanted it more. Must say Town took the defeat really well. They had a blatant pen turned away, the ref actually put the whistle to his mouth and took it away. He was awful, and nearly ruined the game.
As I say as a Town fan I was disappointed but you can't deny Celtic. the reaction of the Town players, management was terrific. Also I don't ever want anybody to slag Muiris Walsh off here again, he stayed right to the end of the presentation with his young kids, he also shook hands and congratulated nearly every Celtic player, officer and the two managers. a top man and a credit to Clonmel Town despite all the crap written about him here

on the penalty decision i think it hit him on the legs and bounced up onto his hand i feel it would have been hard on the player. equally if i were a town fan i would have ben disppointed with the celtic pen as it was pretty soft.

Cheers for that it was a good game. Sorry i havent had access to FOOT for a while. They are fantastic facilities that Nenagh AFC have best ive seen anywhere in Tipp. Celtic played well in the first half but died a little in the second we had only played 1 game in about 6 weeks so there was plenty of rust there but ye pushed us close and were unlucky our keeper made a couple of good saves.
Cheers!
