For over two years now, Pike have been selling bricks to towards the new changing rooms yet no plans or work have been shown or has taken place. Pike appears to be one of the leading teams on the field yet off the field they are falling further and further behind as each season goes by. The current state and the decline of the pitch is only proof of this. What are your opinions?

you seem to know a hell of alot about pike ,but i would never come on this site and try and justify any work on or off the field that pike have done/doing.pike,s name AND facilities speaks for itself.and you mention the decline are you having a laugh .stop trying to stir a reaction from GENUINE pike supporters and believe me there is,nt a whole lot of them on these forums.the pike supporters on this site only know what they find out on these threads and want to be in the know except for silvercircle who is the only genuine one,now could we get back to talking about the wknds games and stop instigating an arguement

Did he not save the club a few years ago??Always got the impression from friends that are Pike men that they thought he was a great chairman.

before Noonan we had a chairman called Dick Penny..it's because of him we have what we have...when he passed away, noonan took over and done a great job..nobody can argue with that...but he was not a people person...Pike never needed to be saved...and never will be by any 1 person

Pike 3 - Fairview 1

Well deserved win for Pike bar the first 15minutes dominated the majority of the match.Red card for Buckley.Goals from Corbett,Finucane and Wall(Penalty)

**booster 03** · 20/04/2008, 11:56 AM

s ville 0 granville 1

granville deserved to win.. missed a penalty.. their winner was an absolute screamer!!

on a sour note.. i have to say mike bourke the ref was an absolute joke. its soul destroying, probably our biggest game of the season and he turns up and makes a complete sham of the game!! we've always problems with him, i dont think i can remember a game in which he wasnt controversial, he gave a penalty in the second half and a few granville boys started laughin, then said to the ref, the s ville keeper was very lucky to stay on the pitch.he should not be aloud ref premier matches imo!but as i said.. granville deserved it, we never turned up at all!

Hardly..Purcell disappeared for large periods of the game,Harnett hit some lovely passes through out the game.Pa Moloney had a great game.Held up the ball very well and laying it off well.Trevor Cosgrove was poxed to stay on the pitch at times,very hot headed. I think Kelliher is still up on the Fairgreen trying to turn around,getting Bigger by the day..Sad to see really,one of the more talented Junior players around Limerick of recent years.

Have to agree with u there a chronic ref he did the 1b match against Prospect and Murroe tues night all he does is stand in the middle of the pitch, and as for reffing a premier match absolute joke . But he's just 1 of many bad refs it would make u want to give up the game altogether.

advantage Pike in the run in,i know Balla have games in hand but its points on the board that counts,wonder how Fairview will perform tuesday after todays loss,will they be able to pick themselves up?
