Can anyone tell me when are the semis being played
Just for clarity and to be consistent with all the match reports and results that have appeared on this thread since the competition started.
The game did end up 0-2, however it ended 0-2 after extra time. the game ended 0-0 after 90 minutes and although we competed and at times out played killester, their experience came through in the end.
0-1 to killester in extra time, corduff put a ball across the box, one lad slides in to slot home and narrowly misses, ball ploughed out of the box down field on to lacey who scores as corduff had no choice but to throw everything at it.
killester have that momentum that a form teams has, however if carrick are as good as i heard they are, and i expect them to win the other semi final, they might get the better of killster yet. but we will root for killester.
You are either pro or amateur, there is no in between!
Green Hoop you should read back on this thread and you will see I “jumped on the Killester bandwagon” a good while back and indeed put my money where my mouth is by backing them in the bookies – which will hopefully get myself and Mrs Mad a few days in the sun if (as I expect) they retain the trophy this year.
It doesn’t give me great pleasure to say that, as their manager Mr Graydon is renowned for his incredible arrogance and disrespect for opponents and indeed for his own players on occasions. This attitude has rubbed off on one or two of the Killester players as well. For that reason I was hoping against hope that Corduff would turn them over yesterday, and they gave it a right go - a well-run and progressive club full of good decent football people who do their business properly and win a lot of friends along the way, would have loved to see them make the final. Promotion to Premier A will make up for it I hope.
typical for most of our so called supporters,when we go out of something they think the world ends,just cos pike are out of something does,nt mean that comp loses any of its gloss.i suppose you ceased to go to our matches after redcastle beat us.it,s my own club but we have the best and most opinionated supporters in the world but when we go out of fai/mjc they just die
scandalous comment by the way, i dont even play junior football the team i play for dont enter the fai junior cup, i live 120 miles from my home club i am still in regular contact with all the players, whenever i do get home i go and watch them, my knowledge of junior football throughtout the country is quite good indeed i have actually seen all four of the semi finalists this year. im no expert but i can give an informed opinion on most things!!!
am i allowed post?
"i have actually seen all four of the semi finalists this year"
What do you think of the remaining three teams on those performances you have seen??
killester are the best team left in the competition, i dont think thats going to surprise anyone
i cannot pick a winner between carrick and castlebar, i think this could go the whole way to penalties. whoever wins this will go into the final as big underdogs but they are 2 very good sides in their own right and are more capable of turning killester over on a good day
personally of the 2 i think carrick might be better equipped to beat killester as i think their 2 central defenders are slightly better and quicker than castlebars!!
Reporter to Gordon Strachan: gordon, what's your impression of jermaine pennant? Reply: I don't do impressions!!
i have seen both teams and i stick to what i said, its just my opinion and doesnt necessarily mean im right, and now that i have given it im sure i will be proved wrong
havent seen castlebarr play this year but even though carrick might not retain their league title this year they can play some lovely football on their day,they have prepared exceptionally well and even with some injury concerns the thought of another final in their own backyard should push them through.
carrick won today i believe
