Fully agree with you there. Have seen Pa Quinn taken off several times this season when playing well. He was doing fine last Sunday. The same has happened with Padraic Fogarty - he never plays a full game. Always a certainty to be taken off if he starts. Anyway its over and done with now.Originally Posted by bronx
I would go as far to say that not starting foggy cost Saints the Fai,that is just my opinion although i know it was shared by several others at the game,he scored 2 against Pike in the Munster semi,he is a big game player and a major handful,Cremins always looks to be negative first but once you have reached a final take the shackles off,Saints had the better team but never went and tried to win the game
pa quinn should have been left up front,the substitution should have been bring on jossi guerin instead of thomas fahey who never got going in 2nd half and drop richie ryan back midfield. if this had been done at 1-1 saints could have nicked it. buts its always what ifs etc after a defeat. foggy should have started too , top class player. pity davey ryan is retired for saints he would have won it for saints in my opinion if on the field trevor cosgrave played well but is not a major threat going forward just felt saints were lacking that on the day
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
The better team win on the day,just like the better team on the night won in the mj,moloney was causing all sorts of problems until he had to go off,injured,heard he got 2 plates in his hand,
Paul Breen has been a top player for years and the only reason he doesn't win player of year is because he may be a bit vocal in games to the refs... they will not vote for you if they don't like you???? Foggy is a winner but like all strikers you have to show them a bit of faith and play them, would not think he liked been a bit player...
just heard a rumour there that it looks like foggy is headin to Town next season, hot off the press from a peake villa source who is best of mates wit him, just throwin it out there, might not be true, the guy is normally spot on
Saints had the better team? i dont think so pike looked very organised and had a better shape to them, gary neville had nothing much to do in goals, cremins just won a munster junior for st micks.
ballboy i wouldnt take much notice of some of the above posts in relation to saints being stronger, saints never got going on the day a bit lik pike didnt in the mj. alot is just to try get the limerick boys reacting. pike were better team on the day but i think the teams are very evenly matched in terms of quality and 1 of the 2 will win fai again next year i think anyway.
The best team on the day won without question and vice versa in Jackman,however i do take on board the point about Foggy,no honest football man could look you in the face and say Connery is a better player,a truly baffling decision but its history now,i cannot see saints bounce back as quickly as next season but im sure i probably thought the same last year so who knows
One of the players who got a nomination this year had 7 yellows and a red. Another had 6 yellows etc, certainly more than Paul Breen. I don't know what system the Referees use but it certainly doesn't include disciplinary record or consistent good performances. To think Paul Breen has never received even a nomination takes a lot of gloss off these awards. Absolute farce.
Have to admit its disgraceful alright how one of the best and most consistant players in the league gets over looked. Ive been to enough awards to see the crazy going on's and it always amazes how they come up with some nonimee's and and even more so the winners !!!

"I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
Well i think the red card debate is irrelevant as we saw in cooke park in the league decider Breen will not be sent off regardless of the tackle,it certainly was a beauty,personally i believe the refs look at certain guys getting international recognition and focus on the guys who get ignored,how many times has Tony Scully been the tsdl player of the year and his brother Paul,prime example
Ya i i agree ... I personally think players who have enough recognition are ignored. Kind of a case of share the wealth i suppose and give other lads the lime light for a night. So more often than not the "real player of the year" is not even nominated.
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
also heard thurles town?? big shock if that happens...but it is his local team!!
Foggy WILL BE playing with Thurles Town next season
ive heard foggy will be with borris. also heard they will add alan leahy, barry ryan and mick ryan. pretty decent signings if true and enough to keep them safe from the drop
No chance of any of them signing for Borris,Foggy is going to Thurles Town and Mick may go with him but i think he will stay at Villa and Alan Leahy is a definite to stay with Villa and Barry will stay with Town,from what i have heard Borris are chasing Michael Rafter and a couple from Borrisoleigh
michael rafter could be available , has not started with waterford of late plus there signing a class act in adam mcsherry so he could fall down the pecking order at the RSC. hope the tsdl dont lose 2 class players in foggy and mick ryan to thurles town in north tipp league be a shame to lose 2 of our better performers
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Borris were being compared to Man City at the start of the season,rumours of players getting money and all sorts of signings yet none of that really materialised,a reasonably local side won the first division,Foggy is not going to walk away from winning a munster to play north tipp,Barry Ryan is not going to leave a club like Town for Borris,i think Borris will need to sign at least 4 though,i saw Cashel beat them 5-0 in the fai and they were definitely carrying a few weak links
heard today from a committee member that peake are to meet with tommy gaynor about the job. i remember he was there before alright. might have won a league but not sure? has he left borris or had a falling out? i have to agree with you balls it would be a shame to lose mick and foggy, 2 class footballers
