cracking game in store tomorrow between saints and celtic..any predictions??id fancy saints to nick it 2-1
Tipp FM reporting that Celtic beat Saints 3-1. Maguire, Ryan and Shanahan. Quinn for Saints.
any news on the Town and Peake game?
town won 1-0
Town won 1-0. Barnes sent off.
That was on the cards one would think, did Ted O'Connor and Loughnane play?
what did barnes get sent off for??any truth rafter has left saints??
went to saints game yesterday ,celtic well worth the victory,best of luck to them
When did Paddy Keane get accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
Why? because he alerted the referee to the fact that the ball had spun out of play, onto the bar and back to the feet of Jimmy Carr. I would imagine he had a much better view that where most of the Michaels supporters were situated. Get over it.
No offence, we have no problem "getting over" losing but the standard of referee yesterday along with the two linesmen was nothing short of shameful. Today is a new day and we move on from that defeat...we have plenty left to play for. Back to yesterday's game, how can the ball "be out of play" if it hit the cross bar and went back on to Jimmy's foot, what is wrong when a goal is scored like that? Answer - goal should have stood - having said that, the score line of 3.1 does not in any way reflect what the game was actually like. Saints should have put this game to bed during the 1st half, celtic came out the more hungrier in the 2nd half. Having two goals disallowed (the 2nd goal a bit more questionable!) but nothing whatsoever wrong with the 1st goal in my view, Celtic's 3rd goal was clearly off side, everyone apart from the linesman on the far side could see that, Saints back 4 pulled up - as we all waited for, the linesman to put up the flag but no.. he didnt, having said that, Celtic were knocking on the door of beating the Saints for a long time and got their day yesterday - good luck against Pike, a great draw to get at home, having said that, 6 Teams left from Limerick in draw, that is fierce strong representation in MJ Cup - No. 8 who got straight red will be a huge loss to ye on that day.
First of all I won't go down the 'standard of referee's' road as we could be here all day. Suffice to say that every team is subject to a bad decision at some stage.
Without getting into the physics of it, my understanding is that the ball had spun out of play from the original cross/shot and clipped the bar on the way back in. Granted it was a huge call and I'm sure if it had been the other way round we would have been livid. I think ye would have gone on to win it if that goal stood as I'm not too sure whether a 10 man Celtic would have recovered after letting a 2 goal lead slip.
As for Saints putting the game to bed in the first half, not too sure about that unless you can highlight the numerous chances ye created in the first half. The only save that Kieran Kendrick made was on the stroke of half time from Breen's header. Ye weren't exactly peppering the Celtic goal with shots in the first half. Most of the Michaels supporters would have been in a good position to view Shanahan's goal. If it was offside I don't know how the linesman missed it as he was nearly standing beside him.
Anyway appreciate the good wishes for our game against Pike. Ye have one hell of a challenge in the FAI. I have a feeling you may have to settle for the local double and I don't mean any disrespect when I say that.
well done to clonmel celtic on their victory yesterday a great day for their club. i would agree with saintsfan that saints should have went in a couple of goals up at half time as they were far superior however celtic turned the tide in the 2nd half. the 2 disallowed goals were an absolute disgrace 1st one was just a pure robbery from a bias linesman the celtic goalkeeper was at the edge of his 6yd box when the ball got lobbed back over him and onto the crossbar, the 2nd goal was at least a yard over the line when the keeper pulled it back ( the reaction from the keeper told the story) but none of this is clonmel celtic's fault. as a regular visitor to lots of games in the tsdl involving all clubs 'not just saints' i have to say there is a definate hate campaign from 95% of the referees towards st michaels this is simply not good enough. the tsdl bigwigs need to start sending referee's assesor's to games to outlaw these cheats.
Roberto you have said everything in your last post that i was goin to say to you! Can anyone explain to me how Paddy Keane saw all of the ball go over all of the line from 18 yards away and how the ref could go along with his story is unbelievable. Even reading your reply to my Hogwarts post i cant believe he came out with that story its the stuff of Fairytales disgraceful decision and no balls by ref to over rule his bull **** decision!
Best of Luck to Celtic against Pike by the way incase ye put theses comments down to bitterness!
Well said Republican we all know it!
Guess who the ref is next weekend between Two Mile Borris and Saints? O M G here we go again!!!
Pearso, I am assuming the referee had no choice but to go along with the linesman's decision for the simply reason that the linesman was in a better position to judge on both occasions. Likewise I am also assuming that the linesman was in better position than you, republican, sanitsfan and me to make those 2 calls. So basically there are 3 alternatives:
1) He got both decisions right,
2) Like players do every week he made one or maybe two human errors or
3) As republican suggests he's a cheat who doesn't like St Michaels,
Whatever about the first two I would just hate to think its the 3rd option.
roberto i think it is unfair to keep talking about this as it it taking the gloss off what was a faboulous result for celtic and dont forget it would still only have made the game 2 2 at the time no guarantee saints would have went on to win. saints need to ask how were they 2 down in the 1st place and regroup before a now must win game in sheriff. on my claims about the referee's hating st michaels this is a fact all anyone has to do is go watch a ref doing a game not involving saints in the morning and then watch the same ref do a saints game in the afternoon and you will see the difference. as i said earlier 95% are total cheats.
I thought the view in the tsdl is that all the refs were biased in favour of saint michaels and that 95% of clubs agreed with that.
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
