Walked around Hartnett and Wall? From what I remember they(Pike) were coasting in the FAI match back in November when they got caught by a messy goal that turn the game around. Pity he didn't walk around them at the start of the year for Pike's 5-0 win either...Jason Purcell is coming to the end of a good career in junior soccer...And I'd put money on it that Purcell wouldn't walk into the Killester side either...

that fai game would have finished 5 or 6-1 only for a stupid back pass from paddy mitchell .pike were running riot .true the view dominated the first half and should have had more than a 1 goal lead.but pike bullied them up until that back pass
I think you'll find there is no Limerick representatives in the squad this year
Wouldnt have got on the Fairview FAI winning teams in my opinion and yes i think he is over rated.
In fairness lads, he is a very good player, I wouldn't say he is over rated but he is talked about a lot by Pike fans, and is probably their best midfielder.
He must be doing something right if he is in the OT team and is "often" capped at Junior International level, so give credit where it is due.
he will be a bad loss for pike sunday
I never said he wasnt a good player but he is not as good in my opinion as he is perceived by Pike fans.

I do agree with you there, Pike fans really seem to talk him up a lot.
He is a fine player though.
he wont be missing
In fairness if Pike had Maradona,Pele,Zico,Cyruff you'd probably still say they wouldn't get on the "Magical" FAI winning team...I'm waiting for the "Jason Purcell is the best thing since sliced bread line" soon enough...The plain as day facts are there,He's consistently top scorer of at least 20+ goals a year for Pike,"Often" on the Irish Junior team and a consistent preformer year in year out..
is he missing for ye sunday?
yes i would agree with monster there, he was by far the best player on the pitch back in november in the FAI game, he dominated middle of the park and covered every blade of grass until injury and fatigue forced him to leave the field of play. and not a hope would harnett get on any of the fai winning teams in fairview. not a patch in my opinion on kevin mccarthy, barry flynn or jason purcell. there is league of ireland players out there who wudnt have got on those fairview teams guys and all of those players could have played at a far higher level but chose to stay with junior soccer.
Big game below at the bottom tomorrow night with corbally playing granville..I suppose a draw would be the best result for us but i dont see it happening..I fancy granville to sneak it....Also can ye leave star out of it..They got up to the premier on Merit as did ourselves and there is a huge gap between 1a and the top 4 or 5 teams in the premier but if teams like ourselves and star can stay up for a few years and attract some players then maybe in time we may challenge the top 4 r 5 but until then teams like us have to make do with the players,staff and facilities we have!!
both teams need to win,could make for a good game....
heard that fairview were looking for it off ? any truth in that ?
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
true ok there missing players
if that match is called off it is a joke....it would prove that some clubs can dictate when and whom they play.
I'm sure other clubs in the league are missing some important players at certain stages of the season (I know we were), but do you think they can get their games called off??? Not a hope.
I hope this isn't true, considering how people have spoke about how big and good the Fairview squad is this season,,,,,,,,,,well if it is that big, then missing a few players shouldn't really effect them that much, should it?
Aren't Pike missing players this weekend too!!!!!
Any idea who is due to be missing - the game should go ahead regardless.
