as a town fan i can tell you that the standard of teams we have been playing against lately has been terrible, we have been walkin through games, and thats without aaron. very important we get him back for this big 1
saints are at home,are you sure? i dont think celtic will nick a draw,town seem to be flying at the moment

looked at the website and as i thought villa are at home to saints,also town have beaten saints away and villa in the munster,definitely not poor opposition
i will go with villa 3 saints 1 and town 2 celtic 0.....its a relief just to have matches again!!!
Clonmel Town 2-2 Clonmel Celtic
Tony Scully (CTFC) and Paddy O'Donnell (CCFC) both sent off so I assume they will miss next weeks FAIJC ties.
james o sullivan sent off as well for town so he will also miss the fai game,town will count themselves lucky stephen ryan and richie ryan were not red carded as well,referee and his officials hads a very bad afternoon,celtic deserved better
and darren burns should have gone for eye gouging. It's bad when town resort to that. Town showed today what a dirty team they really are. This tie needed a top referee, not one who quakes in his boots when surrounded by town players. They have been getting away with this for too long. We want unbiased refereeing

i think that result is the end of towns league chances now. it will be a brilliant battle for top spot now. its saints for me.
IMO at least 4 should have been straight red carded before the brawl. Lewis should use his most experienced refs for these tough fixtures.
"There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third."
I'm glad to hear some people echo my sentiments, especially a town man. I was afraid my comments would seem one sided but I think they are a fair reflection of the game.
Jimmy McKell was on the line today, so why couldn't he have reffed it
John Hadnett was the man for that game. Short memories when talking about
McKell he made a right mess of a high profile Town - Saints game season before last. Why was Peake - Saints game off I noticed Peake b game was played? Talking about Refs, I was talking to a ref doing a schoolboy game Sat and he said all traveling expenses for refs at all levels have been cut by the F.A.I . He said that some senior Refs were talking about retiring also the dreaded word Strike was mentioned. A ref who used to get €62 to go from clonmel to say Killenaule will now be cut by around €20. I know we all moan about refs but this could get very messy in the near future.
i was on the wrong side of the pitch to see it clearly but the penalty claim looked like a stone wall certainty. the goalie was the last man and he handled outside the box so is that a difficult decision? i
Absolute rubbish, Again! the only part of your post which makes any sense is the first sentence. Hadnett and Mckell are two v.good refs. As for the rest....The FAI have reduced their mileage rate for all employees and affiliates from .72c per mile to .50c per mile.It only happened on Friday so how the ref you spoke to knew that "senior" refs are talking about retirement is beyond me!! And Clonmel to Killenaule is 16 miles (aaroadwatch) so do the math, He's down €7. So as usual on this site, people takling about things when they clearly haven't an effing clue!!
was there much experience needed for the 2 decisions today?
