FAI Junior Cup 2006/07

**Van The Man** · 05/02/2007, 3:11 PM

I have to admit Krocboy that looper is a bit of a laugh alrite, mind you it's easy throw out a line and reel him in. I have to admit, as you said yourself, the argument about the width of the pitch was great. I only started that because some one asked what the pitch was like and I answered them as I saw fit, as I had seen the pitch. I didn't this it would escalade into an allout warfare on the FIFA dimensions etc..etc....But it made interesting reading.

As you said any side that makes it the 1/4 stages are not there on luck, they are there on merit...Everybody's opinions change as soon as your own team exit the competition, and say that everyone else is there on luck alone...Afraid not....

[QUOTE=tippsouth;616736]hooper u'r only making a bad name for ur club with all dis bull. yer not real madrid r nytin like. fair enough ye knocked pike rovers and peake villa out of the fai bt cup football is funny. if ye played pike in limerick it wud ave been a different story. all it takes is a bit of luck to advance in this comp. bt grattan will be caught out sooner or later. cant see them makin it past this round. PEAKE VILLA WILL BEAT KINSALE in the next round of the munster and we'll show ye the real Peake Villa in the quarter finals. trust me on that one hooper, if peake are on form ye dont stand a chance QUOTE]

Kinsale will be delighted to hear that they needn't show up to play Peake as the result is already a foregone conclusion. Could be interesting!

Yea, dont be fooled by league positions, even though we are going to win our league, we want to win everything we enter.

However enough is enough. I can assure anyone who has had the misfortune to read this drivel that it is not a view from inside the dressing room or other senior committee members. Before I go any further I would like to say I had the pleasure of meeting half the Pike Rovers management team on Saturday and a nicer more respectful individual would be hard to find especially in defeat. A credit to any club. Their supporters and committee were also a credit and I just wish our so called "looper" would learn some lessons here.
While he is entitled to his opinion he does not speak for the Grattan United football club. Both sides gave their all on Saturday and it could have gone either way. Commiserations to Pike and it has to be only a matter of time before a club your size reaps its rewards. Grattan are aware they are punching above their weight and are just enjoing the moment. Apologies in advance for further postings from the "dark side".

I think Hooper Looper is fast becoming the Charlie Stubbs of Corks Northside.....

No way are Peake Taking Kinsale lightly, despite the above statement. Were lucky to get out of there yhe last day....BUT if we do get to play Grattan again I hope Hooper is made to eat his words

**eltell** · 05/02/2007, 6:04 PM

any one when the next round draw is

**Thunderblaster** · 05/02/2007, 7:37 PM

The Favs: Killester United, Carrick United.

The Darkhorses: Carew Park, Villa FC, Grattan United.

Enjoy the remainder of the football folks!!

Prospect of Castlerea Celtic in the quarter final is a shock and a half!!

What was their best ever performance? When Westport United got to the junior cup semi final in 1969, Castlerea nearly beat them in the first round.

**tippsouth** · 05/02/2007, 8:35 PM

i'm not sayin villa will take kinsale or grattan lightly should the two sides meet again. dont get me wrong i know kinsale are a brilliant side its just after the two sides met the last time, kinsale people were on this site the following day using injured players and the man sent off as an excuse. they claimed to be missing 2 or 3 of their best players that day.

as regards the possibility of meeting grattan again, it would be nice to get some revenge on them(mainly hooper). you say he doesnt speak for grattan utd but he comes on this site making statments on behalf of the club??

i'm not saying that getting to the quarter finals of the fai is pure luck, obviously good footballers are required but you have to have a bit of luck go your way in terms of home draws etc.

tippsouth I assume you are refering to the above "official" statement. Maybe you shouldn't take everything posted here at face value, do you see the contradicition in the above 2 posts??
Whether 'looper' is the grattan secretary and likes to have conversations with himself before releasing "official" club statements or hes not the secretary and is a wind-up merchant i'll leave it to yourself to decide.

By the way Kinsale's captain Derek McCarthy who was arguably their best player left them for Avondale in the transfer window.

.

Kinsale were also missing a number first teamers for that one and down to 10 men for about 35 mins of the second half Peake equalised in the last minute. a very close game that could have gone either way

1 post stating the facts not excuses!!!! no mention of best players.
