By the way I think Pike won the game... Move on

so you thought the ref had a good game... i dont think so

I was pointing out how bad he was and Pike would have had you out the gate if he had done his job properly

you nearly got a draw and that would have been unfair and unjust

just showing how a bad ref can influnce the result

you cant disagree

when you have a squad of 25 good players your bound to lose a few, this is junior football. No crisis at all, things are looking up if anything

I just heard thet connie and casey have stepped down, the Pike hierarchy did not enter the club into the munster senior cup as last seasons prem winners...strange decision..how many junior players get to play against cork, cobh, Waterford etc..if the draw goes your way.
also heard that the managment and players only found out when the draw was made yesterday, they "noticed" they were not in the draw, I believe half the team if not more are walking...maybe the club think this competition is below them??????

**leather** · 14/09/2006, 10:57 AM

do not the ldmc enter the league winners into M.S.Cup?

Hi Leather

It is up to each club to decide if they wish to enter into any competition not the LDL, and when contacted by the league secretary pike decided not to enter the MSC .

**leather** · 14/09/2006, 11:43 AM

OLD KEEPER:
I know of one year when one club that had qualified for the senior cup was not put into the draw. the club in question were never notified that they had qualified, the council had been notified that the club in question were qualified by the senior body. the member of council gave the following explanation, and i quote, " ****** FC weren't good enough and probably didnt want to play in the senior cup competition, so i didn't bother to enter them" . for once i have sympathy with the pikey's . not saying that the present admin is as bad as that but are the club that qualified notified??

...and in other News: Arsenal are linking up with Ballynanty Rovers. Arsenal seasonal winners of the "Best pitch in the Premiership" released a statement to the Limerick Leader that they are always looking to improve the playing surface and hope to learn from what Ballynanty Rovers have achieved in Bateman Park. The deal which will see sods of grass being delicately cut up and exported from Bateman Park and implanted in the pitch at the Emirates Stadium. A statement from a Ballynanty Rovers source said "I don't know what this is all about, we told them to just plant cabbage and it'll just take care of it's self". More to follow...

I have spoken with The league sec and the club were asked if they wished to be in the draw but declined. It was entirely a Pike Rovers decision.

The winners of the priemier division qualify to play in the MSC if they decide not to enter that is their right also.

what date does it start and finish. Limerick FC only won it a few weeks ago. So it probably drags through the summer. Might be a reason why they didn't enter

Starts at the end of Sept and goes on till it's finished? last seasons did just finish so it could be a long haul

for any pike manager / player / supporter the decision taken by the "club" not to enter the MSC is a sad day for your club...the fact that the managers / players / supporters only found out that this decision was taken when the draw was published speaks for itself.
it is bad for limerick soccer when the prem winners and one of the top clubs in the city make this decision.
I only know 2 of the pike players personally but ask any of the 20+ panel would you like a chance to play in the MSC against a LOI team what do you think the response would be Dirk.......shame on the Pike hierarchy to treat their players supporters in such a fashion.
