Limerick Premier Division 2007/08

easy win for pike could easily have been 7or8 star were poor

How did we know you would say that???

If you want a fair report on the game, look at todays loacal paper, which was written by a "neutral observer of the game".

It read, "Pike had to withstand some nervous moments but did enough to take the points".

I rest my case.

Pike players and supporters sh*t themselves every time Pa Barry was on the ball for Star, and I wouldn't blame them either, the way he walked through your team to score his goal.

And before you start bitch*ng, I will agree that Pike got a few chance in the second half to make it 3, but that was only because Star were pushing for the equalizer.

you are a funny man....... pike should have had at least another 2 in the first half. Missed a few sitters in the second half. Ask smackers how many times he touched the ball both halves. He had 1 save second half and about 2 kick outs.

oh here we go again pike pike pike how wonderfull are we. they beat a star team that were missing from what i could see were missing at least 4 starting players and had an outfield player in goals. no disrespect to star FACE IT PIKE ARE ONLY A MID TABLE TEAM. no fai no munster junior and now plain for everyone to see not going to take the league either. sorry but pike very average compared to regional and balla

And regional/Balla have won have recently?...Exactly,point proved...And for a mid table team 8 trophies(at least) in 6 years isn't half bad...

Not even going to argue, all I'll say is Pike need to improve big time if they want to win the league this season, and even the Pike supporters will agree with me there. (at least the honest unblinkered ones will agree anyway).

Even Spurs win trophies these days!!!

Pike's run in for the League. Realistically They can win 8/9 of those with the other 2/3 a flip of a coin...

[the dazzler]

jesus i watched the game hoping pike would lose pike totally owned the game star never looked like scoring hannon up front was no danger only player that tried was barry got a lucky goal only shot all day star got pike could easily scored 7or8 only for carey+bad finishing form moloney+wall think your blinkered morton you didnt even see the game did you?

ok what i ment was with the way regional / balla are improving
pike will be left behind with their 8 thropies, and 2-1 to a young inexperienced star side.. do you remember the gerldines and cals teams from years ago that won throphies............. that may become ye. ya star were poor, but young and can only improve. they will stay up with little to spare

Ah right ya...I can see where your coming from or can I...Only been going 70 odd years and predicting dooms Day for us...Gotta hand it too you,You've got some great imagination..

[Begrudger]

What are people goin on about regional for they,ve won nothing of any signifigance in their illustrious history of about ten years and if it wasn't for gettin bumped up 3 divisions a few years ago they'd be in 1b, Balla for the league if theirs any justice only footballin side in town, All those players on the bench for the view will be goin back to L37

come on alan you were,nt even there ,star were never going to equalise,yes they battled and if they showed that heart and fight every week they would be comfortable,and yes pa barry played well but it was,nt hard look bad in that star team,i hope ye stay up but in fairness they are poor.

[hoops12]

how can you call pike a midtable team.year in and year out they are challenging for at LEAST the league .and for an abbey man to critiscise pike is laughable.where did ye play for two years when no one else would oblige ye.

agree with most of it and balla one of the best sides in town over last few years but i thought last years munster junior final showed balla always come up short on footballing side of things.in fairness they play to their strenghts but i wouldnt call them a footballing side.

[Andyryan24]

what are you on about. regional the most improved side in recent years and getting better every year. and balla not too long ago went a full season unbeaten. from what i seen of pike sunday as i was trying to say was they didnt look like they were a side that could improve. on the same pitch 2 weeks ago regional put 7 past same team

What are you smoking - Fairview the best football side in town by a mile.

abbey if you saw the match pike could easily have scored 6 or seven but didnt. Pikes problem through the years has been missed chances and again on Sunday Star could have got a share of the points from a fluky goal. Three points are still three points what ever way you look at it

If the truth be told Star never looked liked creating anything and pike weren't great. If we dont step up a gear or two then there will be no league this year.

Fairview have to be odds on to win the league with there squad. When the mid week matches come in a lot of teams will drop points because of player unavailability. Pike could struggle with that this year for the first time in a long time.

Star def werent the worst side we've played this year and they showed a lot more heart than summerville last week so I tip them to stay up

[Neutral Jo]

Lets be realistic here lads.
Balla are not a great footballing side.
Long ball is there forte. There physical and slow and the back.
There strength is there physicality. And P Hickey in goals.
Pike Regional Fairview Wembley and Aisling are better footballing sides.
