beaten 3 1 by the ref and two lines men they were the only difference between teams on the night
Left back! I'm not sure what match you saw but that isn't the one which the rest of the people I'd say
I am a neutral & watch quite a Munster Senior league games.
Firstly I have to say the pitch was poor, very bumpy & it a few weeks it will be worse with the ground getting harder.
As for the match itself the first half was poor with only 3/4 good link up plays (all by Rockmount). The first half by the referee & one of the linesmen was a bit poor. Mainly the 1st 20 mins.
Calls went in favor of Rockmount here at about 60/40. Nothing which was effective though as most the decisions were out around the midfield.
Number 4 for Pike however in my opinion should have been sent off in the 1st half for persistent fouling& was taken off in the second half by his manager before being sent.
The penalty: was CERTAINLY PENO. Quite poor by the defender as the centre forward chested the ball away from goal & the defender came through the back of em. Poor defending. Every decision the ref made was question by the Pike dender no.6. Now the ref did not have the best 1st 15/20 mins of the 1st half but controlled the game well after that. From Peno on Pike were poor. Lost their heads. A second goal followed 5/10 minutes later & it was well deserved good finish by the Rockmount no. 9. To be honest the only thing Pike brought to the game was good work rate & this went after the second.
Rockmount went 3 up after the defender tried clearing the ball unsuccesfully from the line ended up in the roof of the net. The Pike no 2 was next to go for firstly lashing out out the Rockmount number 3 which should have been a straight red & for secondly been late on a tackle (when the whole knew he was going in to do em!!) He still arguedd how he could is beyond me. Maybe the Junior league is like that
Both sending off were spot on & should have been more.
Best player for Pike was their No 10. he worked hard & just got on with it. No 6 wasn't bad eith for all his complaining
so only regional and fairview left in the national cups? Sign of how the balance of power is shifting! Heard wayne odonovans sending off was a terrible call in the msc, pike getting no luck at the moment but thats football
