Who's Gonna Win FAI Junior Cup 2004/05

[Supersub]

Since you know a lot about this incident Guvnor can you explain why Purcell refuses to play against Carew ! If he was half a man he'd turn up and get on with playing ball !

For the record , Purcell did play against carew since that game ... Check the records lads !!!!!!!!!

I think it is better to say nothing on a subject if you do not know anything about it. LFC you have shown a lot of ignorance coming on to the site and bad mouthing a player , whom if you knew anything about local soccer(you obviously don't) you would know is not that type of player.

I was there that night and I spoke to players involved with both sides after the game and the general consensus among those players was that it was a freak accident. There was no intent and while the injury was a bad one it happens in the game.

Both players jumped for the ball , Albert had a running start from the left side of Purcell ... Both players had their elbows raised(as does everyone when jumping for the ball) and Albert literally ran into Purcells. End of story , no intent whatsoever.

I think you are bang out of order and should retract the statement. Players should not be bad mouthed on this site and I believe you are bang out of order!!!!

Would be interested to hear if there was anyone else at that game that night who has an opinion on the incident. I am sure that there will be a few posts attesting to Purcells excellent conduct on the field of play for many years ..

Expect to hear from you soon L.F.C!!

i was their that night standing with carew lads and they were also in the opinion that it was an accident and philly was not that type of player.

as you have started mentioning names l.f.c. which i agree with supersub that it is out of order,what albert slatery done and said that night was a totat discrace,needed stitches and still waited 30 minutes to asault pilly,if their was a stronger ref on the night i have no dought he would be out of football for a very long time,and then to find out he followed a granville player 10 yard trethening and mouthing abuse at him a week or two later, what are the refs up to,

albert will be very happy with you telling everyone that he holds grudges and will wait years to get him,narrow minded people hold grudges and sportsmen shouldnt coppon lfc

i know alot of carew lads but i also know philly,and he would not be afraid to play against carew,if albert was half a man he would stop holding grudges,if i was a park man i would want to meet them cos all they'll want is to get him witch would result in a few sendings off,

[backodanet]

i would not normally stick up for Park Rgs or PP but I was told by someone who was at the match it was not intentional but in defence of AS if you get a smack in the mouth that starts bleeding the last thing u think about is "oh that was probably an accident" first thing is complete rage ........but waiting 30mins to start again is not on - this has to be down to the people around him tell him was an accident instead of winding him up.......... it's not like he is the cleanest most sporting player in the world

[kingpin]

how about yee all let this whole issue drop, and get back to talking about football again? I thought this page was about the f.a.i junior cup 2005 and not about the limerick league?

[striker]

what you said is right carew park do start to fight with each other when things are not going there way in the past. this season carew park has changed there is less fighting and more encourging that is why there having such a good season. to answer your question about what happens if they draw balla or park well i was talking to balla players and the last team they want is carew park it would be a very good game. as for park there is something between park and carew every sine philip purcell elbowed albert slattery on purpose in the face which he got 14 stichs in his lip since that it has been very very heated between the two club that happened last season and philip purcell has not turned up to play carew the four times since that happened (the corward) but mark my word knowing albert if he has to wait until the over 40,s to get him he will i would not like to be at the end of the tackle when or if he fianlly turns up

do u play with carew lfc u seem to know albert slatery well,so all that was said about carew must be true,fight,bicker and hold grudges,just on the nameing of persons on this site u should know better,

on philly purcill i think he's one of the top and most respected players in the league,a gentleman and will not like his name taken on this site,


on the other person involved (i wont name him thats your job)any time hes mentioned it goes somthing like,very good and tallented player but how is he getting away with what he does week in and week out.

i wonder is it that the refs dont want any trouble in the future,as u said, u know the grudges.

i agree kingpin, but some issues need taking care of asap,what lfc said he said was wrong and i think he just wanted to start something in the event of the two being drawn against each other,


if the player in question is reading this site dont worry,their only trying to frighten you they must be worried,

Park Rangers and Carew Park would sound like one helluva game going by some of the posts. With 37.5% of the teams left in the draw, it is inevitable that Limerick sides would dominate the forum. Westport United and Castlebar Celtic has a serious rivalry but both sides do not bring up bad issues from the past, apart from "offside goals". Both clubs do have a laugh on some of the past incidents and the last serious injury in the fixture came from a Westport player celebrating a goal that was disallowed for offside many years ago.

[willy mcspud]

yea lets drop the pp and as issue i was there and it was total accident end of story lfc should know better they played against eachother at park semi-final cup last year.
Anyway lets hope al limerick sides avoid eachother in the draw. I wouldnt think anyone would fancy a trip to shannon.

[Supersub]

Draw for 1/4 Finals was made today ...

Waterford Crystal v Park Rangers
Killester v Westport Utd
Carew Park v Ballynanty Rovrs
Galway Hibs v Bellurgan

The two ties of the round have to be Killester v Wstprt and the all Limerick clash ...

The Mayo side could have been slightly agrieved at not getting a home tie after knocking out Pike and if they are to go on and win it will have to do so the hard way !!

Limerick tie is anybodys guess ... This "pundit" will plump for Balla as man for man they are the better of the two teams but there will nothing in it !!

Galway Hibs will be hot favs to outgun Bellurgan but it is "a funny old game".

As for the other game , this one is also a hard one to call but with home advantage you would have to fancy the more experienced Waterford side ..

In summary 1/2 finalists should look like this

Waterford Cry , Killester , Balla & Galway Hibs ....

Hope I am wrong and Park go through to semi and we can have two reps in last four !!!

What the rest of ye think ?????

what a draw ,carew at home where will it be played,they must be happy with that,but balla will be happy two, football wise it will be a bad game,managers doing homework i think balla will win it.

[The Gaffer]

Anyone tell me anything about Park Rangers? I believe they are managed by Tommy Lynch

[backodanet]

Well judging by the roar the carew park lads let out when balla came out of the hat they are over the moon with the draw
3/4 ex balla players playing against their old team

i'd go with killester, park galway hibs and A N Other

[Goals4fun]

I wonder if the odds have changed much after the draw ? Anybody got them and want to post them ??

[widow]

ya I'd fancy park against waterford crystal, saw them against granville looked very average, at home they might be different though, carew park v balla, I'd say carew park are slight favourites as balla aren't playing well at the moment, but its all on the day, interesting to see who or how many will be sent off, that will have a major say in the outcome
