Its about time Villa get a few decisions going there way.

Was at the Cashel v Celtic game,Cashel played all the football for 70mins and were hanging on at the end but Cashel should of been 3-0 up in the first half and the game would of been over!Both teams played good football and overall was a very good game!Celtic are a very good side and they try to play the game the right way!
While I agree Celtic finished strong in last quarter Cashel should have been 3 up and really rattled Celtic but fair dues to Celtic they kept at it and could have won it at the death but it would grossly unfair on Cashel who did enough to win but I still think it's a greAt point for them and I think lots of teams will earn their points away to Cashel
The TSDL have awarded St Michaels the 3 points for Peake Villa's failure to fulfill the opening days fixture
Thats farely stupid in fairness. Very harsh on villa.
I think that is a terrible decision. I'm not too friendly with many of the Michaels boys but I'm sure they would have expected to play the match again at some stage.
Congrads to Cashel, not many gave them a hope before the game.
i suppose its harsh enough but i dont think it will make a big difference. saints would have won the game. having seen villa though they look to be pretty decent and will pick up a few results and maybe a couple of good cup runs this year.
Thats rediculous.The TSDL just seem to have no common sense.
No big surprise though really is it.if saints were any good they would have offered to play the game at another date.
Saints have had a few near misses at winning the league so you can be sure anything the TSDL can do to help them get over the line it will be done,nobody is naive we all know how the system works so we move on
My understanding is St.Michaels wanted the game refixed - spoke to quite a few of their players and they were quite clear they just wanted a game. Peake have the right to appeal the decision to MFA.
tsdl dont make any sense at all, everyone know they are a shambles, that decision plus the Town youth fiasco is another one of their fine administrating
Michaels only bet villa 1nil in cooke park last year and it was nil all in thurles. These are huge points and shouldnt be given like that. Celtic or town cant be too happy.
Sorry but to say TSDL is a shambles has to come from someone who knows nothing of the state of some big leagues around the country. We may not like some of their decisions but all Club secretarys know where they stand and know you can not pull the wool over Lewis's eyes. The league when Lewis took over was broke and the few Clubs in it were running the show, we now have a league with over €250,000 and one of the best ( if toughest) run leagues in the country.
Some of the stuff the goes on in the rest of the Country is just unreal. We will all be here giving out stink about the TSDL in a couple of years when Tommy and Richie have gone!!
totally agree with west hammer look at cork aul as a quick example in comparison to tsdl.aul with teams folding, poor facilities, gross mismanagement a reported 220k missing from the coffers etc. tsdl is run with an iron fist by the top 2 in charge both in my opinion its a great league. it was unfair on peake to be asked to play the game but you have to just get on with it. they were never going to get 1 up on the league by refusing to play. hopefully peake can move on from this and still have a good season
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
West Hammer you are having a laugh,last year Lewis made teams play on All Ireland Sunday and funnily enough all games are off this weekend because Chalkie Walsh is getting married,were Peake Villa really expected to play Town and Saints in the space of 39 hours,a professional team couldn't do that,remember Town were playing 4 games a week a few years ago,it is just neverending with the Tsdl and Saints,like i said earlier we all know the score so lets get on with it but don't try and give us that rubbish about finances,sure it's great but Hitler brought massive stability to the German economy,was he a great man so?
tipp top what has it got 2 do with saints? the league made the decision to award the points. people on this are just waiting to have a pop at saints any oppurtunity they get. JEALOUSY me thinks
Well said West Hammer and Balls. Totally agree and I have no hesitation in saying ye have spoken for all decent people within the TSDL. Just look at their record, over 40 years each to TSDL, never opposed for their positions, totally dedicated. Yes, there were times when I totally disagreed with decisions they made but they have done some job for soccer in South Tipperary. I wasn't around in 1977 when TSDL started but am told by those older it was an absolute shambles and two men brought it to what it is today, one of the most respected leagues in the country. Now, could the personal hatred be eliminated and restore this thread to honest and constructive discussion.
