Ok thats fair comment, let's move on. I hope Carrick don't have to go through this pain but what it those prove that there is a problem within the association and the goverance of these rules

What happened to my Club Clonmel Town was a disgrace but to be fair Town and in particular two people from within the club, seriously messed up and they both still hold their positions within the club.
All that said, I really hope Carrick go and win the FAI, great club and a great team but they will be up against a great side in Killester. Should be a cracking final

As far as I am aware Celtic have not even looked into this. Just pub talk. So matter closed. Best of luck to both teams should be a great final.

i was at the game on Sunday and Carrick thoroughly deserved their victory in truth the scoreline could have been a lot more,I was a bit disapointed with Castlebar thought they would be better but maybe that was down to how good Carrick were on the day(the 2nd goal was worthy of winning any match, pure class).I havent heard a word in Carrick town about any complaint of an illegal player and would be very surprised if the club could be that foolish.The final will be a cracker and if Carrick play like last Sun Killester wont have it all their own way,looking forward to it though.
By the way any truth the game could be in Cooke Park,Tipp Town???

I think Carrick are going to push for the final to be played in Ozier Park (semi final venue)the smaller pitch and the crowd closer to the field would make for a fantastic atmosphere (the atmosphere in the RSC is brutal at the best of times)dont know if FAI will agree though,

The atmosphere is brutal. The whole setup is brutal in there. As gareth cronin said its like a dangerous beach. My opinion is that if they can play the semi final in ozier park, why not the final!!!

your saying your club was wrong but pike were a disgrace ,make up your mind.and if i can remember correctly pike saved town from being stripped of their domestic trophies as ye were in fact illegal all season so get your facts right before you start talking about something you clearly know little about

lads is,nt it a sad state of affairs when the top junior trophies in ireland are consistently being showered in controversy over rules,there is only one crowd to blame for this and that is the law makers who are constantly causing mayhem with rules that just contradict other rules.

its doind nothing but causing animosity between clubs and will never be right unless people that run the game get their act together

How did Carrick do against the Gate last Friday?

**kingpin** · 21/04/2008, 7:12 AM

Carrick won 3-2

**kingpin** · 22/04/2008, 2:18 PM

As it stands it's on May 4th RSC 2.30pm, there is a question mark over the pitch though as the surface is not supposed to be great.

Wexford officials, Michael Franklin (ref) Damian Donovan, and Eddie Redmond (assistant refs) appointed to officiate at Umbro FAI Junior cup final

In case anyone is interested this is from the Wexford League site. Damian Donovan used to ref a good few of my games at schoolboy level back in the day. Always seemed to be a decent ref. Don't remember any of the others.
