Saints to win 2-0. Have played them twice this year and they are a serious team with a great defensive record and they hit teams very quickly on the break

**Tipp Top** · 30/04/2011, 5:21 PM

Saints 2-0, tight and compact for an hour and then saints pressure to pay off and Carricks discipline to go

**Longshanks** · 30/04/2011, 7:07 PM

1-0 stmichaels at ht

**Redman028** · 30/04/2011, 7:28 PM

St Michaels 1 Carrick 0 F.T Congrats to Saints

**Mission Bell** · 30/04/2011, 9:05 PM

Carrick Utd will never dominate a match as much again and come away with nothing. Adam McSharry the best player on view.
Well done to St. Michaels.

Well done to St. Michaels.

They dominated the second half, but Michaels had the first. Carrick just lumped the ball aimlessly for a lot of the first half. Adam was outstanding when he dropped to midfield after half time. He couldn't get in the game while up front. Wayne Fitzgerald was very good throughout, but I felt he was wasted at centreback. He could have been more influential in midfield instead of Alan Ryan. And you knew it was not going to be Carricks day when they brought on Glen Keane. Surely they can't be that short of players.

Just want to say also, I thought the grass was dreadfully long and hindered both teams playing a passing game.

Glen Keane had a great chance to equalise from a header (from an Adam McSherry cross). Hit the base of the post with Flipper beaten. Also, the full back might have scored a sensational goal for Carrick near the end but it fizzed wide.

Not sure how they took off Fogarty and left Pa Quinn on. I thought Quinn was terrible.

I really enjoyed this game though, very entertaining and a real battle. Saints held on........just.

anyone have the line-ups and scorer?

**cufc champions** · 01/05/2011, 9:29 AM

First off I would like to say Congrats to St. Michaels team and management for their Victory.

Beaten 1nil is hard to take especially with the pressure we had in the second half.
Michaels goal came around the 25 min mark when a loose ball broke in midfield the Michaels centre mid carried and looked bottled up until two of our defence slipped his shot from 20 yards beat the dive of Adrian Walsh but crashed off the post on the way out hit the keeper on the head popped up lovely on the forehead of the on rushing Michaels striker a cruel way to concede. We dominated the 2nd half led by Adam McSharry switched to midfield, Glen Keane hit the post when should have scored and Mac had a couple of drives that tested the keeper. We heaped on the pressure but couldn't past a resilient defence led by the ever brilliant Paul Breen.

What started out to be good natured singing by the Michaels crowd in the main stand soon turned nasty after half time, the chants to Alan Coady were disgusting to say the least. Also the chants of " mobile home" and "you've no toilet in your house" toward the Carrick fans were hard to take.
Ive seen Michaels fans on this forum defending the club saying these are only a small minority and the club can't control who goes to away games, well its about time they came up with a policy as the yobs are bringing your great club down. We take great pride in roaring our team on but never at the expence of our pride, St Michaels "singing section" should be ashamed of themselves.

Best of luck to the team in the FAI.

Some things have'nt changed!!
Just a quick thank you to the 3 St.micks supporters(a lovely woman with her daughter and husband) who managed to get rid of the St micks fans(mostly 18/19 year olds) who took it upon themselves to verbally abuse and phyiscally intimidate me for the majority of the first half. Never been subject to that sort of behaviour in my time in football. Gladly I can say they were a very small selection of the St.micks crowd..

On the game, St micks outplayed pike in all sections of the park, they certainly missed colbert and Tierney tonight. Saying all that, Pike missed 3 or 4 cracking chances, 2 by Alan Barry and hitting the cross bar at 2-0 down. The better team went through. Best of luck in the final.
Yes. there is a nasty bunch of 'supporters' following St.Michaels whom I'm sure the club are not so proud of. I noticed them at a couple of cup games last season.
However I am glad they won tonight. As a neutral it might calm some of the relentless and ill founded boasting that we are hearing from Pike supporters. Last edited by Mission Bell; 10/04/2011 at 7:46 AM.

great win for saints , brilliant to have mjc back in the tsdl. was not at the match but by the sounds of things saints were not at there best. as they say sign of great team winning when not playing well. as for comments bout saints singing section, prob just bit of banter there has been alot worse than that sung at many football grounds. Was there a big crowd at the game last night?

**republican** · 01/05/2011, 10:38 AM

please grow up lad's there was loads of banter between the mich's fans and the ladies supporting carrick who the saint's fans referred to as the 'wags' brilliant entertainment and the ladies were brilliant they sang their heart's out

there was alot of saint's players gettin abuse aswel but when you put on that green and white shirt you know what your getting yourself in for and learn not to take it to heart as it is mainly to try and upset your game. michaels dominated the 1st half and carrick did the 2nd but i think mich's deserved the win overall. best of luck to carrick for rest of season they have some truely great player's in their team and will be back again next year. congrat's to saint's and the scenes of joy at the final whistle will live long in the heart.

**cufc champions** · 01/05/2011, 10:59 AM

If you read the 1st line of my post I said it started as good natured, please don't give me it happens at football grounds all around the country, we are not English soccer hooligans, chant for your team and do not aim it opposition players, its a disgrace to defend the carry as just banter what was aimed at Alan Coady what you see as banter is highly insulting. Time for you to grow up enjoy your football and support your own team.

As someone who was at the game, what was heard was not 'banter'.
Banter is fine and something we all enjoy. However this was'nt banter, it was nasty and you will only hear it at the type of 'football ground' that attracts a certain kind of supporter. As has been previously seen on these pages these St.Michaels 'supporters' are known for it and will long in the memory of those who were in Ozier Park last night.
On the field, after an even first half in which Michaels scored a rather fortunate opener, a half time switch saw Carrick dominate proceedings but try as they might they did'nt have any such luck.
But Carrick can be proud of the spirit and resilience they showed to ht efinal whistle.
The game was well officiated and was hard and fair.
Pity the abiding memory will be of the aforementioned nastiness.

Im not one bit surprised and wait until the saints supporters come on here saying how they are being victimised,The fai cup final was taken out of limerick last year apparently cos saints refused to travel for safety reasons due to the objections re pike,yet for a club that was so intimidated they spent the entire game in turners cross singing disgusting songs about pike rovers,I agree its a minority that every club has but there is nothing stopping people involved in the club approaching these people and telling them they are out of order,

**Damo** · 01/05/2011, 2:49 PM

You all need to grow up. 'Nasty' behaviour my back side. It was all good natured. The song about no toilets in your house was sung following a similar comment from a Carrick supporter. And Carrick supporters were heard giving plenty of stick and abuse to Saints players so don't get on your high horses about Coady getting stick - he gave Saints supporters the finger after he was jeered for a nasty tackle. That said, the same people being referred to on here as yobs shook Coady's hand and several other Carrick's players hands after the game. Carrick supporters gave as good as they got yesterday - if they cannot mobilise their support to sing a few songs like Saint's supporters did (many that rebuked comments from Carrick supporters), that's more of an indictment on them than us. It was just a case of everyone in the ground being able to hear the Saints fans but not the sole Carrick voices venting their spleen. The girls supporting Carrick were great crack and we had great fun with them. We commiserated with them after the game and they wished Saints well - I don't hear them on here complaining. In fairness, Carrick lost a game they probably deserved to get more out of, it was a classic game of two halves, but take the beating in good spirits, lads, and don't be so disingenuous.

**Damo** · 01/05/2011, 3:27 PM

Why was there no man of the match award yesterday? Paul Tobin was the man of the match in my opinion with Paul Breen also outstanding, as was Fitzgerald (class act) for Carrick, particularly in second half.

**cufc champions** · 01/05/2011, 4:14 PM

Again1st line of my post was congratulating the team a fine team at that

I think you'll find Saints have won a Tipp Cup in past 5 years. Saints B team won it in 2007.
