No the reason for that is that there has'nt been a debate or arguement on the page for months,i didn't participate but it was the most i looked at foot in 1 day in weeks,it was great,your opinion of whats stupid isn't everyone elses and that was obviously shown by the amount of people giving there twopence worth and i suppose it is probably the most discussed topic around the dressing rooms of the premier league

I didn't mean to be offensive to St.Michaels. I have great admiration for the club. Obviously you are also an admirer of the club. I am disappointed you have taken the bait laid by others. I know officially the St.Michaels club prefers players and supporters refrain from commenting on this forum. Under the circumstances above I think that is good advice. I think your comment ''alter ego'' is unjustified.You obviously didnt consider it stupid when you posted this or was that your alter ego!
Sometimes you have to shoot from the hip to get the drop on these Posters, so heres a hug "HUG", feel better now?
Please note that I am not answering this question to start a debate but only because the question was raised. St Michaels were due to play at home to Celtic in a FAI Junior Cup tie last season during a particularly bad spell of weather. It would have been a dangerous time to take to the roads due to very icy conditions. It was my understanding that the referee couldn't/wouldn't travel to the game due to the roads and the game was therefore postponed. The rules of the competition state that if a fixture cannot be fulfilled due to the weather the venue of the game should be reversed i.e. the re-arranged game should have been held in Clonmel. It was quite obvious to most people that it was because of the weather that the game didn't proceed but St Michaels argued that their pitch was playable. As far as I am aware this was their word as the pitch was not inspected by a referee that morning to confirm it was ok. I assume this is the technicality that Tipp Top is referring to.
nononsense you made a good point about lads taking the bait in relation to comments about saints but you have to realise the good name of st michaels fc gets dragged through the mud on this forum on a regular basis and alot of people are actually stupid enough to believe what they read on this
[QUOTE=republican; but saints did play the 2 games in 2 days and it can have been no easier for them with lads working, holidays, etc.
What 2 games in 2 days did Saints play?
Roberto, the reason the game stayed with Saints as far as I know was that the Ref John Lyons did not ring Leiws till 2 hours before kick-off and at that time Saints had not called it off. A replacement ref could not be found so game was called off. I agree game was in doubt anyway but as no ref inspected pitch and saints themselves did not call it off it was not technically called off due to weather. In Unusual circumstances like that the only option was to call it as a no contest and just play original fixture.
sorry tipp top that should have been 'were available' to play the 2 games in 2 days.
No problem,but you know yourself there is a difference between playing Town and Saints in 39 hours and playing a pre season friendly and lets be honest nobody cares about that tournament,Town didn't even play in it,i hope common sense prevails and Saints and Villa replay the fixture
Same old,same old.anyone that thinks Lewis doesn't do favors for saints is in cloud cuckooland.there's always something with them and they always come out on top.WHY.
think something similar goes on with a certain club in limerick boywonder haha. glasshouses
You have me there????think something similar goes on with a certain club in limerick boywonder haha. glasshouses
He isnt the Life President but he is a Life Member.... St. Michaels President is Mick Flynn,
We all know where ur coming from lad :-)think something similar goes on with a certain club in limerick boywonder haha. glasshouses
it goes on everywhere lads....
it happened (and is stillhappening) in limerick also.
matter of how many and how strong the people who sit on these committees are,
last year we had three senior officers who had a vested interest in how one club faired.
not saying that they used those positions in any way to benefit that club.
just that consciously or subconsciously a lot of people would be suspicious of matches being put in under lights,in an effort to run out suspensions,more lenient suspensions then similar transgressions of other players.
but hey,we would all say ,thanks a lot for that sort of thing(indeed my own club benefitted from similar not to long ago)
so it's swings and roundabouts
You're wrong there prawn,only matches that were played under lights was tuohy cup which was over in February.so what you're saying is total bull.and don't know where you're getting you're 3 senior officers from???????.
whoa there!!
think of three officers who had a vested interest
ex commitee members and someone with a relative playing for the club that the other two were involved with.
as i say swings and roundabouts so don't take it personal.
i also said that they did not use their positions in any way so....
it's the perception,as it seems to be in this case in the TDSL
.that's all
Whats yer views on this new Munster Competition which starts this week personally i think its a waste of time
It is replacing the Munster Senior Cup and could in years to come be the most prestigious trophy in Munster,it is for all the champions of their respective leagues so in theory a great idea and fierce high standard in every game.
