Munster Junior Cup 2011/12

[magicman]

whats a 'phiso'?? situation with the lights was very unfortunate but unforseen as the diesel gauge was stuck and it read 3/4's full, was only after a technician discovered this the problem was quickly solved! lights went out 5 mins before kick off and both teams were left in to the all weather pitch to keep warm until situation was rectified! 7.25 lights were on game started at 7.36.. a whole 36 mins delay which the ''vocal'' pike 'fans' seemed not too bothered with as it gave them a chance to continue there word record attempt of liquid consumption:-) midleton keeper should of gone for the spotter, and pike should never have thrown away the game from being 2-0 up, first red card was correct and was just a continuation of the player involved as he was having a very poor game and was being tortured all through the first half and his only answer was to foul time and time again as he was not up to the challenge, then he goes and try's to be clever and threw the ball and the midleton players face to try and get a reaction but was rightly seen by the official and sent off, as i was right there i can tell you now that you are either lying, or have been fed the wrong info..., i hope its the latter! was no vulgarity of the description that you are insinuating and for you to come on here without the correct information is nothing short of a disgrace and shows a lack of moral judgement and courage! 2nd red was because the player lost the head for 2mins and got booked twice in that time.. is it midletons fault that pike left themselves lose a game that they should of won?? is it their fault that the pike winger was STUPID and RECKLESS in his decision to throw the ball at the face of the player?? dont think the pike management helped alot and were very poorly behaved, and that is why the person was ejected from the dugout! trying to influence the officials by goading and roaring all night, the game had to be stopped after all to deal with this did it not?? it is always easier to blame every one else for your'e own failings (which i have been guilty of in the past) but maybe you should look at your'e own doorstep first and question your'e own integrity?? or is that to close to home for you?? must say the pike players left on the pitch produced a great effort and deserved more from the game than what they got, i would hate to be in that young lads shoes as he knows his actions were at the root of his teams collapse and he left his club down badly! and then to make it worse by lying and using the suarez/evra situation to try and get away with it is laughable!! hope ye had a good journey home and finished off ye're 12 slab's of beer in style!

Most questions answered. Thank you.

[Mighty almighty]

Wasn't at the game but this line seems a bit rich...... Couldn't keep up and blowing steam after 25 minutes? They went 2-0 up, scoring the second with only 10 men. The home team equalised with a penalty near the end and only got the winner near the end of extra time when Pike had 9 men?

That sounds as sour as you are claiming Pike to be. Now I'm far from a Pike fan, I've often criticised them on this site but there are a number of questions to be answered here.

Pike would have arrived at the venue at the very latest at 6pm. What time was the floodlight fault spotted? Surely this should have been spotted much earlier in the day?

Someone said the first Pike red card was for throwing the ball at a player?? If that is true then the referee has a case to answer. Other decisions/red cards during play I won't comment on. Decisions like that are always argued between people even when clear cut.

Have Middleton made any comment, officially, regarding the alleged abuse? If it is untrue then the player in question should be facing a ban. If it is true then I hope the book is thrown at both player and club and they are made a severe example of.

The talk about how the game went reminds me of Corbally U-17's a few years ago when they went down to Maymount and got absolutely screwed by the referee. If I remember correctly the Corbally keeper was punched by a supporter when they invaded the field with Corbally leading. Referee refused to call off the game, Maymount won and Corbally's complaints fell on deaf ears when the club should have been thrown out...... I know it has nothing to do with the above, I'm just saying what it reminds me of!

Was at it lights were working perfect,up until five mins before game,all I no is club rang a engineer to solve problem,turned out full gauge stuck at half full,which was nearly empty,not much ya can do to avoid that!

Not going to argue about it anymore,it did happen and the player that was abused is not a liar believe you me,he was having a mare?how many balls did he put across yere box the time he was on the field,and ye say pike were puffing after 20 mins,they could and should have been 3 up before ht.even with the 10 men they still should have won.now ill leave it at that,

[The Lawd]

sore losers lads..you were well beaten, after 25 mins pike were blowing steam and couldnt keep up with the midleton team. these allegations have come around because the lad from midleton had cleaned out the pike rovers right back and he was getting tired after kicking him and chasing him around for 45 mins. ye later had a second lad sent off. After that the pike lads showed their true colours and began to kick out at the midleton boys every chance they got and should have had another few sent, but you prob dont remember that because the main excuse for the LOSING team are these ridiculas allegations...p.s lights were out for 45mins and no longer, which did not seem to bother your supporters who had plenty of beers, alco pops etc in supply to keep them busy for their short wait...better team won get over it!!!!

Right lads, don't know if some of ye who are commenting were at the match or not but a lot of bull**** has been mentioned. Was down there watching as a neutral. With the floodlight situation, if that happened in Turners Cross or Jackman Park nothing would be said. Lights were out for about 45mins. You get on with it, things like this happen. With the Pike peno, can honestly say it was no way a peno. I was standing directly behind the goals. For the racist remark, was too far away from the incident so can't comment on that... I think the Pike player who was sent off at half time was probably the best player on the pitch in the 1st half. Pike should of been out the gate at half time. Midleton didn't turn up until the last 20mins and don't think they deserved to win the match to be honest. If midleton turn out a performance like that next weekend I can honestly say Ballymun could send down there youth team and still be out the gate at half time....

[da General]

I was at the game and I can safely say that a racist remark was said by the Middleton player regardless of how the match finished up the pike did not have any luck during the night where it be around the lights going out or bad officials the matter in question is more serious, that a player who my opinion was having a good game and well on top was racially abused. There was about 20 witnesses to the comment as it happened on the sideline and if Middleton can say this did not happen says a lot for Middleton fc as a club and community. And for Middleton supporters to make judgement on pike supports I will say don't throw stones in glass houses. You should have a good look at one of your own players. Kick racism out......

[Mr.Reliable]

I would love to know how ye have 20 witnesses to this so-called racist slur! I was positioned between the two dugouts when the "incident" happened. I was watching and attempting to hear what was being said but couldn't. Yet there are 20 Pike supporters who are witnesses, yet all pike supporters where in the covered stand in the first half which is a another 30 yards away from where i was standing so about 40 yards from where the incident happened. Brilliant stuff lads, ye have a solid case! Be proud

Fingers crossed ye draw their A team a bit futher down the line for a bit of retribution

All pike supporters were not in the covered stand by the way,most of them were down by the dugouts,i think now this has got enough airplay,and let both clubs deal with it whatever way they want to.

When I say 20 witnesses that includes players, pike dugout and Middleton dug out and a linesman who turned a blind eye

[Mr.Reliable]

Firstly, its Midleton, with one d, not 2. And no, all pike supporters where in the covered stand, because I knew every single person who was between me and the incident. Stop lying. How is it that even though there where so many witnesses, there was no reaction from anyone, and I mean anyone. Not even the Pike player thought to mention there was a racist remark until well after he had been sent off. Thats when everyone amazingly heard it too.Very convenient altogether. He knew he did something absolutely ridiculous to get sent off and is just trying to justify it. Oh he doesn't lie, he wouldn't lie, my arse, everyone lies. And Booster 03, id love if yer first team could play our first team, but wait, we are a senior club so that can't happen. Pity. And "da general", you can safely say there was a racist remark, how? did you hear it? No because no-one did, why??because it never happened. After the incident, I heard that yer player had been called many different racist slurs from pike fans. But none of them the same, strange that isn't it. Why are Pike rovers fans insisting on embarrassing themselves by making up stories, many stories, to try and explain why they lost a match that they should have won. Man up the lot of ye and take defeat on the chin.

Pike are blue in the face from going down there and knocking out yere so called senior teams by the way,and yere LOI team too for that matter,remember avondale last year who went on to win the fai intermediate,st marys,to name but a few,so dont give me that bull about yere senior team,if ye honestly think that ye were the better side last saturday yeve a lot to learn about football,ye struggled to beat 10 and then 9 men,and for that codswallop that was reported on website that the pike player lashed out,haha,he threw the ball at him that was it,after he abused him and for yere information it was said immediatley after the incident in the dressing room,and the pike backroom went to speak to the officials and were told go away,wasnt surprising really after their performance,

[bluey]

Mr. Reliable, that was a fairly stupid comment about pike beating Yere first team. You know, I know and half of cork know that your junior team is Yere first team, half of junior team should be on the senior team and have been refusing to play with them all season, that's why senior team is in position they are in the Msl...

[deadly man]

Mr.Realible from a neutrals point of view i find your tone very abrupt
Were you troubled as a child???
Calm it down now Son before you pick up a ban

[villaman10]

So what you are saying so is the players that are good enough to play senior cant or dont want to and the players that are not good enough would love to play senior the futher of midleton looking very bright.

ha very quick of the mark hightackle!

[hotspur]

Leeside must have been missing a lot if ye knocked them out,if ye keep getting the same officials ye will go a long way,oh i forgot to mention the kick in the face the pike left back received in the second half as well or did you miss that as well,ref didnt and deemed it a yellow card,to which yere own supporters who were standing next to me said it was a defo straight red,they were honest decent people as well by the way,hope ye dont forget to fill the auld tank again,other teams might not be so accomadating by hanging around waiting.

ah hotspur i was only having a bit of banter with bluey, ya saw that tackle could easily of been a red! was very lucky as usually refs try to even up decisions like that! all jokes aside its getting a bit ponderous this whole ''my dad is bigger than your's'' re-posting to each other hope both teams can move on and get back to playing soccer! was talking to one of your'e lot saturday night and find it very harsh that ye can't get promoted because your'e first team are in the division above ye! are ye always there or there abouts with going up? must be a pain in the ass if that is the case, how do the players feel about that? i assume that you cant go up and down between A & B teams or am i wrong?

B players can turn out for the A team,but A players cannot play B football,ya its a pity they cant go up but thats the way it goes,and republican all the ex loi players are all regraded junior players,and most of their starting 11 have not played loi for your info.and so what if they played loi,what do you want people to do after loi just pack in football,a lot of clubs in limerick have ex loi players because there just happens to be a loi team in the city along with a lot of junior clubs around the country who have loi teams in their city/county,so that statement doesnt wash,and most if not all loi players started out playing junior football,so if it doesnt work out at loi for various reasons they return to junior football,so why have you a problem with that,jealousy comes to mind,looks like ye'll only have 1 team left after sunday in the big 1,celtic
