Who do you fancy in the FAI matches this weekend?

**inexile** · 03/12/2004, 10:02 AM

i know you didnt ask me van der but i fancy fairview and the boro, although both games will be close, i think both teams have a big 2 much for their opponents especially with the fact that they are both coming off the back of 2 good results last week confidence will be high

**van der wheil** · 03/12/2004, 10:17 AM

i tend to agree with you inexcile.I think the park - boro game will be a lot closer then the fairview game.I really fancy fairview to win this 1 well.All Pike are is a big physical side and the only threat i can see them causing Fairview is from set pieces.They lack imagination going forward and they dont score enough goals.Fairview had a panal of 20 players last week and every 1 of em would prob get on any other team in town.

Comments about this player are very harsh
Granted he is a looper but a nice one
he has played premier football for many years for 3 clubs (Balla, Star, Carew) in a variety of position (full back, centre half, midfield and now upfront) played in a Munster junior final and fai semi final and various local finals and oscar traynor
i know everyone has there opinion but has and still is scoring goals and his record speaks for itself

I dont know to be honest i think the 2 games will be very close andas they say its all on the day.I Think boro will beat Park AET could be pens and i think the pike and view one could go all the way too but i hope Fairview win because they have a better chance of progressing in the latter rounds

I agree with Backodanet about Bussoli and in fairness he is still banging them in ...nice guy too

I can not believe the way a number of you are taking Shane Madden's charachter talking about his drinking and interest in the game.
He is an amatuer and he is not asked to be discussed in this forum. I don't know the lad but how would you like if someone was talking about you or a family member in a similar manner.
Nothing wrong with discussing his football ability but lets keep the "News of the world" ****e for another chat room

Well said ....and i think he is a fin player into the bargain

**backodanet** · 03/12/2004, 10:53 AM

**backodanet** · 03/12/2004, 10:58 AM

ha ha a freudian slip i think backodanet!! although i have confidence that fairview are the better side anything can happen on the day otherwise teams wouldnt bother showing up half the time, at the end of the day its 11 v 11 and if you are well organised and disciplined you have a chance, look at greece in the summer

**flipper** · 03/12/2004, 2:26 PM

ya the olympics were good werent they.

**van der wheil** · 06/12/2004, 6:45 AM

Pike beat Fairview yesterday and from what i hear the boro threw it away against Park.First time Fairview are out of the Fai this side of christmas in about 10 years.

**flipper** · 06/12/2004, 9:32 AM

was at the fairview and pike game myself,they say never change a winning team-why derek white done that i dont know.
pike won it fair and square but fairview had no luck and i feel they could still be there and it wouldnt go in for them,im afraid to say i dont think they FAI will be stayin on shannonside this year

**van der wheil** · 06/12/2004, 9:58 AM

I dont know about that flipper - all the so called big sides seem to be falling by the wayside.Blessington beat St Kevins on penalties also i heard yesterday.Pike will always he hard to beat.

**flipper** · 06/12/2004, 10:05 AM

no way will pike win it,im convinced of that.although the way i saw them react after yesterdays performance u swear they won it already.i would nearly perfer to be goin to kevins next week.at least u know what u are goin up to,with blessington it could be middle of nowhere

**van der wheil** · 06/12/2004, 10:19 AM

They may not win it flipper but it will take a very good performance to beat them.They are very solid at the back but they are not great going forward.

I feel the Boro could have went a long way had they won yesterday but by all accounts they threw it away.

**flipper** · 06/12/2004, 10:28 AM

ya being 3-1 up and losing.not acceptable at all.finnan must have being raging.few boro lads will have to take responsibility and stand up when it counts instead of blaming everyone else

**whitestripe** · 06/12/2004, 10:46 AM

When a team looses a game when they are 3-1 up there must be something wrong. The Boro are a better team than Park if you take it player for player but its a team game and its a cup, anything can happen, best of luck to Park and Pike they deserve to be in the next round.
