Its all very cloak and dagger stuff here....sure Saints are at home Pike have to travel that was the draw,what have Fairview to do with that?
God I would hate to see Pike thrown out of the FAI for playing an illegal player!!
Let's not forget star rovers either who did pike a massive favour which is how it should be .limerick clubs should be helping each other out Im sure the tipp boys would.well done again star rovers great credit due to ye
wonder wat or maybe how much made star agree to that
Lads if im not mistaking here on this one if any of the Carew Park lads are on reading this would they like to come in on what Pike Rvs decided to do to help an out of town team back few years ago in the FAI also Kettle and black come to mind with Pike.....
What did pike do wrong bridge??????????
They have accomodated many teams in the past, i remember when Limerick were playing there one saturday that a big team from Dublin were accomodated in the pitch next to the game to train before they played Fairview the next day
Anyway its bad form if the clubs rang St Michael's but i think anyone who is on this forum regularly will know for a long time what this thursdays game was arranged for and i'm sure St Michaels didn't need tipping off from the aforementioned clubs
lads, didnt Westport lose a semi a fews years back but got the game replayed as the winners had played an ineligible player, they won the replay and went of to lift the cup. point being that if there is a bit of skullduggery or cute whoreism going on y'd better have all the i's dotted and t's crossed cos at this stage of the competition its not just on the pitch that games are won and lost. Now I'm not trying to stir but wasnt it a Limerick team who Westport found out, correct me if I'm wrong
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
There are more kettles and pots on this thread than you would find in a kitchenware shop
sick of narcissists.....
Didnt they ring ahead and offer there place to train the morning of the match and also gave them a Run down on each of the Carew team now that is not a fair thing to do is it... Thomas72 would you liek o Comment on this ....
This will just make it all the sweeter for Pike if they win. Why not give the limerick teams all the help they can to win the FAI? I'm sure if the roles were reversed with star, pike would do the same for them. And this talk of Pike "ratting" out Carew Park to Westport that time was always ridiculous, I remember it well as it was ridiculous at the time, as it was in the Star that Dennis Whelan was sent off in the previous match! Just people looking for mud to throw at Pike again. Even dragging this up again.
Lads just reading back through the last couple of pages, basically Pike have arranged a fixture to allow them field their strongest team on Sunday which they're well intitled to do. The business about clubs ringing St Micheals about the fixture is ridiculous, if anyone here thinks that Saints wouldn't have known about the fixture already are very naive as their one of the biggest clubs in the region and would have alot of players and former players living in Limerick and would have them clued in. Doesnt matter what team either club field it will be strong and the game will be very close so instead of all this phony war crap lets look forward to what should be a cracking game.

Thats just textbook................
Diggler, I was unaware that there was any controversy surrounding Pike with the Westport semi final. I've been to the FAI website and found it was Carew who fielded the suspended player(considering the facts, they(Carew) were lucky to get a replay?!?!). Didnt realise there was 'rumours' floating about. As I said wasnt stirring, just it would be an awful pain to re-arrange a fixture to get a players suspension out of the way and then for that game not to count against his suspension. But I suppose Pike know what they are doing....
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
it is a fact that someone from each club rang st micheals again FACT
I remember playing Aishling a few years back and geting one of these phone calls about how Aishling had illegal players. I just was disgusted by the whole thing.
Apparently so black and pearse you're dead right about pike looking for the fixture which they were quiet entitled to do.there was no question of trying to get him off with his suspension as some of the posters believe.
What a load of crap being spouted on here.Fairview rang no1.Trye for you Leather like a hardware shop!!
We agreed to it becasue we would rather see the FAI trophy come to Limerick than any other county, plain and simple.
We owe Pike nothing, we done it for the above mentioned reason ONLY.
