at the end of the day as stated in an earlier post the ref is not to blame,,,,most of the players are playing long enough to know about abusing the ref or even giving cheek to the ref, no matter who the ref is.....
Ive since heard who the referee was and it does not surprise me one bit, he has a long history of incidents in the league with teams and im sure there is history between him and the bridge! In saying that the Old Bridge are prone to sendings off so i would presume they are not no angels either way!

Tipp town v saints b now put forward to 11 o clock with 3 officials , is that a 1st for 2nd division game ? Must b expecting a lively one !
Must be a few games off today, TSDL making sure the referees dont lose out on their few quid! Might venture over to Tipp Town, should be interesting!
Sanits opponent's today 'Greenwood' were a very poor side. They had a few lads that were "carrying a bit of Condition" They had a couple of half chances but it was an easy day for Saints. Cahir unlucky, winner scored in last minute of extra time. Heard Celtic game called off after 5 mins. anyone know why?
Greenwood were out of their depth as saints got job done very early !
saints b had a cracker of a game with Tipp town finishing 1/1 it had everything red cards , goal mouth incidents and some extremely dodgy decision from the ref , saints would be happier with a very young side who had to stand up and battle against a more physical and experienced ttfc team 7/8 of the saints team were under 21 and the policy of blooding the younger player s in the b team is been much appreciated by the supporter anyway well done both teams for serving up a proper derby !
Great result for Cashel town today, anyone Town lads with some info on the game?
Cahir park unlucky
Missing wack, Shane McGrath, and Dennis peters I hear
ref and 2 linesmen for division 2 is crazy,how are teams going to survive if they have to pay out over 100 euro for a game on a sunday morning
long time reader/1st time posting - Regarding Division 2, looks very tight regarding promtion to Division 1. Have the guys been following any of the teams involved and if so who do ye think will come up.![]()
I asked one of the official the same and he said from now on all local derbies are going to have 3 officials , I wonder would it have anything to do with Cullen / st nicks game recently were u had 4/5 players sent off ?
Its all to do with making them a few extra quid, thats nonsense about derbies!
there is no way any team outside the premier could charge money at the gate,,, the quality of the football is shocking,,the usually thing to do is have a bucket at the gate for donations....but first of all you need a crowd and i dont think the crowds are there....there was 70-80 i heard at the tiip town st michaels game on sunday.
Ya and Tipp town charged €3 at the gate I believe they made a handsome profit as there was a good crowd at gate so rather than focus on the negative of it why don't u look at it in the positive as it was a deemed a big local derby and not necessarily a 2nd division game , anyway all these blabbing about 3 officials takes away from what was a cracking game by 2 evenly matched team who went at each other from the off !
70/80 was about 40 more than were at the St Michael's Munster Cup game !! The quality of a lot of Premier football this season is also shocking.
Tipp town and rosegreen probably two best sides but glen villa have the points on the board and with only 4 games to go for them, if they can put strongrest team on field with all there gaa players they may have enough to stay top. Kilsheelen in with a shout aswell so making for great run in.
All divisions look tight this year bar division 1 which cahir should win handy. Looking forward now to second half of the season.
Some tasty tipp cup ties aswell : saints vs Cashel, cahir Vs clonmel town will be cracking games.
Best of luck to all
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
