Yeah fair enough, can't argue with that....
pen decision and what should have been a red card for the town keeper

"There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third."
I'm neutral and get behind Clonmel teams in provincial and national competitions. I must admit that I have a soft spot for Celtic as they play some nice football and it is nice to see a new challenger. I was at the game yesterday and must admit I was disappointed how Town seem to be reacting to their status as Clonmel's number 1 team being challenged. Head butting, eye gouging and kicking players on the ground. Disgraceful, they should hang their heads in shame. This referee has proved again he is not up to reffing these big games. Four major decisions went against Celtic. Surely it can't be a coincidence. I wish these refs would show some balls and stop being bullied by the 'bigger' team. Finally is there a player in the league that mouths more than Tony Scully!!!

I grant you that one Town player ran into the row at the end and tried to head butt a Celtic player. However I saw two Celtic players throw punches in that row and also throw a head butt.
Yes Richie Ryan should have been sent off for handling the ball outside the box, no question about that. I am not sure if it was a penalty when Eddie Doyle was taken down. Clonmel Town may have been a bit physical but they are not a dirty team. Also Celtic a re a fine team and may go on to win the league but they have a bit to do to prove that they are Clonmel’s number 1 team. I left that ground yesterday happy with Town’s second half performance but I didn’t think they were dirty. Yes the ref didn’t do Celtic many favours.
I heard last night that Bud Ahearne has passed away. RIP
Yes, nice tribute to him on Tipp FM. Both Mick Flynn and Muiris spoke well of him. Didn't know him but he sounded like a decent man.
By the way, what did Muiris say to Jimmy Mckell at half time, it looked as if they had words
clnomel town are very dirty.........the only team that put it up to them was villa a few years back when redser used to run riot
Eye gouging, head butting and kicking players on the ground. Is that what you call physical?
Villa always put it up to them. Town know that. Refs never help Villa when it comes to that game either
the melee at the end invloved players of BOTH sides. I saw two celtic players throw punches and another attempting to head butt a town player. Town left themselves down on Sunday of that there is no doubt but Celtic were no angels either. Every time you lose or draw with Town you have a go at the ref. Yes he should have sent Richie off but I ain't sure it was a penalty
Also the melee at the end would not have started had the ref given the correct decision a free to Town as Tony Scully was hacked down. When the two boys squared up, players from both sides ran got invloved, some of the celtic players ran fifty yards. so lets be a bit balanced here
Take the talk about who punched/kicked who elsewhere as it never gets anywhere as both teams feel aggrieved when something like that happens.
anyone i spoke to felt it was a stone wall pen.
Except for the only person that could give it!!!I think both teams should just dust themselves down and move on.........
"There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third."
i agree completely. its not the 1st time this has happened and it wont be the last. hopefully clonmel celtic can continue to challenge right to the end of the seasonExcept for the only person that could give it!!!
On a lighter note good win for The Bridge on Sunday 2-0 win at home to Rock Rovers. Eoin Leahy got another goal that is 15goals in 13 games must be top scorer in league?
No sign of Bridge vs Town match in Munster been scheduled in next 2wks what going on there? Could be interesting game ....maybe!!!
big weekend for the tsdl teams in action in the FAI,judging by the betting it looks as if clonmel town have the toughest test and with Tony Scully suspended they might struggle,Celtic looked good last sunday and at home id fancy them to come through and Peake Villa should win comfortably in Kerry,massive game between Cashel and Oldbridge,Cashel are in danger of being sucked into a relegation battle
Does Scully's suspension from last week only affect Towns league matches??
Surely Cashel couldn't be in a relegation battle!!...the same Cashel ye were tipping to challenge for the League!!
"There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third."
is it not the next game you automatically miss after a straight red? the league table doesnt lie unfortunately,cashel had an excellent pre season and had darren murray on board but in house problems and bickering has made the oldbridge game massive on sunday
Seriously, as a neutral, I'd love to see Cashel and Cahir doing better than they have been...................on the red card thing, am I wrong in saying that suspensions in your local league/cup aren't carried over to National competition??
"There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third."
your probably right,im sure the tsdl would make sure he is available anyway!!! even with tony scully available town could be in trouble,was surprised by how poor they were on sunday,yeah cashel have everything in place to be successful but maybe 3 or 4 players short of challenging for honours,the premier division is a bigger step up than anticipated
