No games fixed for during the week so he is suspended for the OT final, big loss, I think Mike Behan is also away on holidays this weekendOriginally Posted by abbeyvale
maybe he was the only ref with the b***s to do it ,who do you think should have done it,alot of ref's won't make themselves available for matches like these because it's to much hassle

had to be a great result taking 3points plus no harnett or enright
I was at the game last night as a nuetral.
To me the Referee is not the best but the only glaring mistake I noticed was not sending Alan Barry off and that Ape on the sideline out of the field.
The penalty was a penalty and the two sending offs were justified.
Granted the lad is not the strongest referee but partisan fans on both sides have to realise that just because 20 people on their sideline call for a fee kick or penalty does not mean the Referee must award it.
The Referee made mistakes last night but you could name at least four players on each side who made as many mistakes over the 90 minutes.
Carroll was best Boro player but Alan Barry also tried hard until he lost the plot.
John Boyle was Pike s best with O'Grady also very good (imo)
Martin Wallace got both, dont know the starting 11 but I know Dunphy was in goals and Balla were missing Earls, O'Sullivan, Conway,Hickey and Crowley, heard Ashling were very poor that Balla could have won by a hat full.
lads in all fairness this is the 2nd time this year alan barry has fought with a supporter at a game happened when they played summerville aswell
Nah that was a sub he too thought he could break his legsThat was funny ref was even laughing at that no digs just barry following the ''hard man''
from what i can see if Alan Barry spent the whole 90 mins focused on the match and not the side line just imagine how many goals he might score ?????? and its just as well he does not play at a higher level it would be tough to jump into a stand to have a go a someone that said a mean thing to him!!!! he needs to grow up
lads heres wat was said fact/ a so called pike supporter screamed for phillip purcell to SNAP ALAN BARRYS SHIN BONE THE NEXT TIME /barry said something back like watdid u say the supporter repeated hes horrowing words so barry said something back at which point the madman entered the field with fists raised towards barry, barry did well in not hitting him and iwas only 3 feet from this supporter iwas terrified cause my son started crying i had to move away any1 who was near will tell this story lads iwatch pike along time but cant condone this behaviour against a player who done nothing to provoke this and also it will be along time before i bring my son to a pike game just hope he keeps playing football after seeing this hes even afraid that a supporter can come onto the pitch to attack aplayer and get away with it
A winner listens, a loser just waits untill it is their turn to talk.
thought both teams lucky the game not abandoned.fact is another ref might have picked up the ball and headed home givena so called pike supporter encroached the pitch in a threatening manner.good 3 pts for pike but could have lost it didnt understand why conny played left full he looked injuredfrom start and both goals came from his side.amazed at all the pikeys on here slagging off barry given that if he was available tomorrow pike would head the Q TO SIGN HIM.have to say i think both managers conduct a disgrace.
Your some Boro' fan, for such a "hard" man that Alan Barry is,he didn't get a single punch in. Its no body but Alan Barry's fault for getting sent off. Plenty of players on both sides were getting abuse. He as has happened in the past(and will surely happen again) reacted. And was lucky to get away with a Yellow,any attack on a outside spectator regardless of the circumstances is a straight red.
May I ask what your age is(mental or otherwise) that has you name calling people "Casper"...Really shows your level there.
Pike dominated the second half,not even sure if Bennis was tested, once they pulled level. They had a few great chances to make it 4/5-2 with Wall's and Boyle's two standing out in my mind.
Great turn around unsurprisingly for Boro' from their heavy loss recently to AA.
alan barry is hard i think every centre half in town will confirm this,he is a tough opponent who loves the physical side of the games.talk of landing punches is stupid,this isnt CBS school yard....
well said
A winner listens, a loser just waits untill it is their turn to talk.
Fighting with spectators is out of order, even if your man was acting the idiot.
Fact of the matter is every player gets that sort of abuse at some stage and part of being a player is being able to deal with it.
Barry's a joke... Should be hit with a hefty ban.
according to tonites local Alan Barry is available to play this weekend
never thought i say this to a boro supporter but well said u are dead right
A winner listens, a loser just waits untill it is their turn to talk.
i did not get round to getting it tonight, did it just mention this or is there a report for the weekends game?
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
small report about last nights game,also mentioned this weekends final but not much really
In relation to the game last night. there are a lot of people that could point fingers and a lot that could recieve them. Most of the junior football in town is not a good advertisment for kids and that honest......
there are only a few refs that are strong enough to handle the big games, that will allow players talk to them and not be swayed.
Pitches that are not enclosed do not help either as most of the pike supporters spent most of the time on the pitch (a yard or 2) as with most pitches that are not closed. Maybe they should look at setting standard for the premier level if they want full controll.
Both were bad form, player and supporter. As said this is not the school ground and should not have happened. Plenty from the sidelines giving both players abuse, nothing new there then.
It happened. it shouldn't have happened, but what needs to be done by all involved and the ldma is how they can stop this happening again, ref, pitch, player v's fan...
now back to the football. Good honest effort by both teams with good football being played in patches.
Boyle was man of the match.
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
Luckily enough i have never received comments like that. Fortunately its been more like, "jesus, what a player"... and "great performance again"Christ not every player gets his legs broke nd then gets fellas saying break his leg after he's come back, its not like you getting abuse from the sideline saying ''go home you cant even pass a ball 5 yards'' or the usual you get ''your useless'' your the joke bud
But ya i can understand where you're coming from...You must get it alot.
Seriously though, you cant honestly condone Barrys behaviour? Never mind the fan... Everyone knows he's an idiot
it's not just this either. I've seen him act like an absolute prik more than once. Prob a great bloke off the pitch, but on it is another thing
