i am greatfull for all the positive comments regarding grattan giving half the gate recipts to peake,its in the fai rule book that you have to charge a minimum 3 to 5 euro entrance from the 4th round onwards,a 60/40 split between the 2 clubs,60 % home and 40% away,we gave it to peake,clonmel did not give it to us,thats what you call bad loser.in relation to the comments being made regardin peake bein the better football team i do not agree with them ,we are all entitled to our opinion but i feel that the comments being made are buy supporters of peake and of the tsdl league in general,i appriciate that,but to be totally fair,peakevilla did not creat much on the day,maybe 2 chances,a lot of very well delivered corners and frees when they got them,a fratuitious goal,when a grattan defenders arse had diverted the ball to peaks best player,and he duely scored,no problems with that,grattan put a lot of pressur and got a goal by using the conditions to there benifit,a long free kick down the throat of the keeper,the center back missed the header and the keeper did not have time to readjust,ball in the peakvilla net,if peake were honest,a good side they are,but they never really caused grattan any problems until the grattan players butt made there oppertuinity,which they duly took,they did have there best spell of the game for the last 15 mins of the game but grattan always seemed dangerious on the break,grattan got a good goal in the first period of xtra time,peakevilla switched off and grattan pounced,peake never had it in reserve to claw there way back,but respect is due to them,good players,good manager good club BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,grattan played peake off the park,they chased everything,never gave peake a chance,back 3 were rock solid,forced peake to belt balls long and grattans back 3 are all over 6'2,dealt with it all day,grattan had 5 in midfield,peake couldnt deal with that either,and the small quick forward that drove clon celtic mad did the same to peake,dont get me wrong peake are good,but they could nt raise there game and find that somthin to get a reult,grattan did,,,,,,,,,,,finally grattan were supposed to be easy pickins for clonmel celtic,and after we beat them some **** in a fai bannered ford people carrier told me that we wouldnt beat peake,not a hope in hell were his exact words,to him i offer you my middle finger with the attached slogan,talk is cheap,no doubt some one from limerick or tipp will say that pike are going to beat grattan,we take that on the chin,but last years fai winners means nothin on the day,how many fai finals or how many semis you have reached means nothin,what you do on they day means everything,grattan have spirit and a raw agression matched with skill,ask anyone at the game what they thought of grattans outside right,skinny guy, our captain,best player on the park according to peake secretary,nice man,and id take spirit and hard work over skill any day ,would it be so hard for some one to just admit that though their individual clubsides are good,grattan were better on the day and they will be hard to beat on the day down in cork and that they are a strong side,come on the gratts
