My bad. took from the wrong reference.
What is the proposed venue for the semi finals does anybody no? Turners cross or somewhere?? don't mean to get ahead of ourselves but just out of curiosity.

**Tipp Man 2** · 06/03/2006, 9:41 AM

hi DRFC,
Semi finals are played in a neutral venue in the county of the team drawn first..e.g. If st Michaels were in the semi and drawn first then the game would be on in a location in Tipp but not Cooke park home of St Michaels...
all quarter finals this w'end...Im going to go with clonmel carew St michaels and drinagh.... what do you all think?

**Tipp Man 2** · 06/03/2006, 9:43 AM

anyone know anything about Killarney celtic?

I don't no much about the teams left in it but at a guess i'd say, Carrick Utd with their home advantage, St. micheals for the same reason and possible Clonmel town as well. as for the Drinagh Vs Leeside game, we are the major underdogs for this one but we are capable of beating anyone in our own patch but it'll come down to whoever wants it more on the day, and i can tell ya now, WE WANT IT! I'm out in france for the last 2 months and i'm going home for the game next weekend, so I hope its gunna be a cracker.

Best of luck with the quarter finals hopefuly we'll( St Michaels) meet in the final....

**Tipp Man 2** · 06/03/2006, 1:22 PM

Clonmel town will be favourites to win it..beaten in last 2 finals and have won 23 straight this season including a 2 nil victory over st michaels in the league...

Carrick to win at home (but only just). I think Clonmel Twon have 24 chalked up at this stage; some by the skin of their teeth but you cannot argue with a record like theirs.

**jug2004** · 07/03/2006, 10:21 AM

town actually have 27 notched up after the weekend, their website has all the games played this season, alot of them by the skin of their teeth too! but you do need the luck at times though, maybe they are due to win something, i think michaels will progress and so will carrick i don't know how they have come back after the defeat to pike but they are a class side and should have too much for carew on the day. It seems the usual heads will be around for the semis again this year possibly 3 of last years 4 semi finalists. antone know of anywhere thats has odds for the munster junior cup at this stage and what them odds are?

True, Town have ground out some results but the harder we try the luckier we get.

**widow** · 07/03/2006, 1:09 PM

Reckon clonmel will sweep the board this year, I've 100 euros on them to win the FAI at 8/1

they also ground out some results last year and look what happened to them..they lost the munster junior to a michaels beaten in tipp cup as well and only won the league because Michaels were on the **** for the week after the munster junior..player for player michaels are a better team.... Kevin o Sullivan paul breen, James walsh Davy Ryan Paul tobin Aaron Moroney and probably higgy would make the Town starting 11. agree?? thats 7 saints players..if you compared the carrick team to town it would probably be the same...No doubt Town are a good team but their goalkeeper and defense are not good enough.they have beaten NOBODY and i mean NOBODY in FAI or Munster junior to warrant thoughts of winning either.2 poor centre halves a left full that couldn't make a town team for the last 5 years..john shanahan is not a right full but is a v good player...from there up they are v good. your thoughts?

I only ask the above question because you have obviously lost touch with reality!!!!! Town played Michaels off the park in last years MJC final but did not take their chances. Michaels had one chance and scored. The Tipp cup semi final loss was indeed unexpected and gave the first glimpse of Michaels new tactics( more on this later). Town won the league because they were the most consistent team over the course of the year. Please feel free to glance at the league table at this point

. As for your player for player better team reference( had you had much to drink in Lowrys at this point). True we would take Chalky Walsh but then so would any other team in Ireland. Thats a no-brainer. We would also gladly relieve ye of breen and higgy. The rest you can keep. We couldn't possibly afford them.

This is borne out by the fact that Moroney asked to come back before Christmas and was told to stay where he was. Davy ryan is not a bad player but he is not fit to lace Scullys boots. I have watched them contest midfield umpteen times over the years and he has NEVER , NEVER bettered Scully. Calling the teams we have played so far in the FAI and MJC NOBODYS is typical of the arrogance and disrespect shown by Michaels to other sides. This attitude is one of the reasons ye are no longer in the FAI???. At least widows bet is still in the running. Yours was left on the bookies floor after Peake Villa came to Cooke park.

Lastly (this is the bit I said I would come back to) Michaels are playing like Wimbledon in the Eighties. Lump the ball from the defence to the forward line and kick anything that gets in your way. This is not only my opinion but also a comment made by several other teams supporters in the TSDL. FACT. Sad to see as the Saints teams of previous years were reknowned for their football ability. Lets see who picks up any silverware this season????

fair comments but at the end of the day it doesn't matter what type of football is played..results will be remembered in history..michaels played fairview and portmarnock off the park in both FAI finals and ended up losing..thats whats remembered..as for disrespecting the teams you have beaten in fai/munster junior its not disrespect its reality..none of those teams would have been considered even close to contention for winning either cups.. do you not agree with me about your goalkeeper and defense.. raymie is slow and way past it,,Davis is a steady right full but not even related to whats needed as a centre back to win an FAI and ronan S was as i said before considered (by town people) not good enough.. so come on honest opinion ..John S is a good player but not a right full..i

just to add as well Moroney had to come to saints to win anything "big" so i wouldn't listen to rumours of him wanting to come back..billy lamb and paul scully wouldn't be on his christmas list..and when it comes to big games between town and saints saints have the upper hand 2-0 munster junior 2001 and Munster junior 2005..all going well it will be sweet to complete the hat trick this year if both teams make it through..

If you read my post properly you will see that I concede we would take Walsh, Breen and Higgins. Since when is calling teams NOBODYS not disrespectful??? Are Killarney Celtic NOBODYS??? We played Tralee Dynamos this year and I can assure you they are a quality side. Ye probably expect to beat Killarney Celtic just by turning up. It may be the rock ye perish on. In relation to Moroney, sorry to burst your bubble but he DID look for a return to Town. FACT. Not rumour. And BIG would be the FAI first then the Munster. If we are beaten by a better side then I will be the first to admit it. However I refuse to rubbish other teams ability(unlike some) based on a false superiority complex. Lets leave it at that shall we and let the results speak fot themselves.
