Didnt Shane play in Jackman Park for the minor final recently enough?i think this is abit much just an excuse if you ask me,
I think it's the interest more than anything.
well to be honest it would have been nice to see star give them a game or even beat them but they didn't so that ends that...We are in the postition we are in because of ourselves and its up to ourselves to try get out of it...I wouldn't say no to a bit of help on the way but what better way to get yourself out of trouble then by doing it yourself against whoever.(doesn't matter who)....

well said,if a team concentrates on winning there own games favours will not come into it.if you ask me most teams in the premier suit themselves and help out nobody,(maybe except for balla and carew afew years ago to deny pike the league)as summervilleman pointed out earlier people work,go away on hols,etc.i dont know of a team in the premier who havent been severly weakened on occasions thru one reason or another.(aisling,boro,corbally,carew,star and even pike have struggled to get teams out this season.)being honest i dont think anybody goes out with the intention of letting another team win.its complete b*ll.a manager can only play what he has available
what i was trying to say, ignoring people hols, working etc. The norm in the past was if you had 2 players on the ot you had no match. I expect the boro players to be available for the OT, and will therefore miss a match ion the morning for the boro which they would normally have been available for.
It is unusal but as said everybody will get on with the fixtures and see what pans out !!
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
how the memories disappear,pike had to wait 3 weeks for balla to catch up in something like 5/6 games 3 years ago and now balla have a crib about fixtures,pike have 5 players travelling to donegal on sunday .balla have none as shane guerin has pulled out and pike are being asked to play again tuesday night,
Pike are league champions
In fairness to Balla,there concistency caught them out
maybe with a bit of luck they would be crowned league championsllll
Runners up in the MFA and Quarter finalists in the FAI
Too many games IMO caught them out
And still perhaps another 8-9 games left half way through May
Tough luck balla
Pike are clear favourites to win the league but im sure Balla won't give up as long as they have a chance to catch them,the MJC final defeat could spur them on,but then again it could shatter their confidence,I tipped them a while back to win the league,and personnaly hope they do(no offence Pike fans)they could also win 2 cups,so all is not lost,they could end up with 3 trophys,which would be a great achievement,intersting to see how they preform sunday against Janesboro
whinging???
kettle and pot come to mind bud with your crew...
i have always thought that the idea of a complete fixture list for each half of the season would go a long way to stopping some of the crap that gets put up here.it was tried a few seasons ago and was a success.. unfortunatley the powers that be went back to the old system of favours and postponments when it suited certain clubs......
heard that half the boro team are off to cardiff t-morrow, organised by the players. a.barry on hols , ado injured, a carroll playing o/t... c,mon the B-team.
I hope your taking the ****, but if thats true then fair enough. Missing players for that is all part of it, but I'll try and make my point AGAIN to some of you. Its alot harder to take when a team is short players because of the OSCAR TRAYNOR team
Pike will be happy....
ah! too have influence
makes sense to have them off, with the munster match on aswell
No disrespect meant and too repeat what Mr P.Cusack (r.i.p) used to say to me about matches being cancelled because of a bereavement.." if they are above the ground, the match is off, if they are in the ground, the fixture goes ahead". might sound a bit cold but it was a fair comment...
No chip on my shoulder bud...some of the best football people in limerick are true pike supporters. Maybe if some of the pikeys on here refrained from bitching about everybody getting preferential treatment from council(in their eyes).I might then be able to have a discussion about football with them.. I could give you a list the length of the pike field about percieved bias asainist my club by council that even you would be shocked at ...I imagine all clubs feel the same way but you dont have them bitch'in and moaning about everything...
