wrong balbec fairkop.
quite right sorry,are you his 77th cousin,maybe you can point out to me where i,ve ever .....slaughtered....pike.i give my opinion like everyone else.as you have said lets get back to soccer and not individual gripes,or was that the other balbec..
Im really loking forward to this game, Carrick, the holders, who have being struggling with injuries all season are entering their 3rd MJC final in a row take on the all mighty St. Michaels of Tipp Town, going for a Munster Junior, FAI Junior, TSDL & Tipperary Cup Quadruple. Both sides met in the last 16 of the FAI Junior Cup last year Michaels coming on top of a 1nil win in Carrick after Thomas Fitzgerald missed a penalty. Michaels have won all but one of their previous meetings a 2-0 for Carrick in the Munster senior cup 4 years ago. Michaels are probably the best team in the country at the moment but however are missing the talisman and Irish captain James Chalkie Walsh through suspension. This could go either way but im predicting 1-1 and Carrick to edge it on pens
Best of luck to both sides and may the best team win.

Exactly, may the best team win. He is a huge loss, but Saints have the squad to withstand the loss of Chalky, of that there is no doubt.
This looks like a low scoring game. Carrick have conceded just 9 goals in 15 league games while St.Michaels have gone through the Munster and FAI cups with a massive number of clean sheets. Chalkey Walsh will be a huge loss to St.Michaels and one wonders who will replace him. St.Michaels are pumped up as favourites but remember (1) Carrick are holders (2) the game is in Waterford (3) Saints most influential player is suspended. I think it will be 1-0 - but cannot make up my mind who will win.
st michaels will win this game,by a couple of goals,
Hoping for a classic on Saturday evening. Think the big factor will be discipline - who can keep their 11 players on the pitch the longest. This particularly crucial for Carrick. Although a bit off their standard of the last couple of years they are still very difficult to beat. But with anything less than parity with Michael's in terms of numbers will I think be fatal for them. If they can be agressive but disciplined and get good games out of Wayne Fitz (at full fitness?), Nipper and Adam McSharry, I'd give them a really good shout. Adrian Walsh will need to make a few good saves as the defence isn't up to scratch - but no better keeper to depend on.
Bring it on - some showers forecast which should see the pitch in good shape and few better locations for a game like this (FAI final wouldn't be out of place there either).
Anyone know if any bookies are doing prices for the first goal scorer for the match.
St Michaels ht/ft looks a nice bet at 5/2, might have meself a bit of that.
powers are just doing half time full time, double chance and correct score

confidence in the St . Michaels camp seems to be very strong , almost to the point of unbeatable . Results this season certainly bear this out. Carrick have had problems all season , particularly with injuries and would have to be deemed underdogs and Paddy Power agrees. Looks like Michaels only need to turn up , but. . . . .
What exactly are you saying?
i can assure you st michaels are in no position to under estimate anybody all you have to do is look how many final's of munster/fai saints have lost over the years and if they think they are in for a handy 1 2mor they will get done. should be great game i predict it to go all the way to pen's as it is way too close to call a winner.
St.Michaels to win 3-1
68, 99, 08
Yeah, Michaels do seem unstoppable at the moment. Given the injury problems Carrick have been dealt, it looks like a bridge too far for them tonight. But they keep on going to the same well and coming out with something.
It is a big ask for them and their spirit and resilience is strong which may be a hopeful factor for them.
michaels have not won a mjc, tipp cup or even league title in past 5 years so dont think they will be over confident. they are very hungry for success so i fancy them to win 2-1 tonight. have not seen carrick play this year but alan coady and adam mcsharry are top players who will cause problems but as alot of people on here are saying carrick are not as strong this year so u have to fancy saints to sneak it. hope its a cracker of a game
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Best of luck to saints and Carrick. Im gonna go for Saints cause i genuinly think they are the best side in the country at the moment and they are a credit to the league. I think hunger will get them over the finish line (just about maybe 2-1) although it would take a brave man to write off the lads from Carrick. Here's hoping for a cracking match and again best of luck to all involved
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
My prediction Carrick United 1-0 St. Michaels.
