What happened in the Clonmel Town v Peake Villa game that necissatated a 10 minute break in the middle of the second half?
Was it a fight in the second half. Was it dark after extra time. Anyone at it?
I said it a few weeks ago after the Fairview match that the Pike defence will be found out against the better teams and nothing i saw yesterday made me change my opinion.They dont look like they can handle strikers with pace.Originally Posted by dell hell
The goal came from a set-piece
and all the other times they threatened were from set pieces as well - very unlike us.The goal came from a set-piece
Having said that we were blessed yesterday, carew could have been 3-0 up at half time and even when it went to peno's you'd have banked on gordon to save a couple.
We got some luck yesterday that has deserted us in previous years
Don't think you will see Pike playing as badly as they did yesterday again. At the end of the day they are in the next round and the Carew match will be quickly forgotten. O'Grady was badly missed by Pike also. It's fair to say at this stage of the season Pike would not be considered a front runner for the FAI but maybe that will work in their favour. Still in every Competition and haven't yet started to play well is a nice position to be in though!The goal came from a set-piece
very nice position to be in
That's true. in the game against Fairview and Carew yesterday Pike haven't played as well as I've seen them play this season. Carew had a great chance to beat Pike yesterday. Apart from a great clearance off the line in the first half which would have made it 2-0 to carew, they didn't look like scoring after that for the whole game. it was a poor game yesterday but pike in the next round is all that matters. you always need luck to win on penalties and cups
you always need a bit of luck - in 97 when fairview won there first FAI since the 60s they were lucky to beat balla on penalties out in bateman park.Joe Hannon took the 5th penalty and had to score.If he had missed then who is to say what would have happened in the following years.

We can't blame the keeper for that goal..If u were at the game u'd have seen it was freak goal..Frankie went to cross the ball and it just evaded everyone...Most people thought it had gone over...Seen many a goal like that go in in the premier league so keeper can't be blamed..All in all we gave it a go and were disappointed to lose to a goal like that..Best of luck to all limerick teams who got out of town!!
Don't forget Pike had 2 disallowed goals in the second half,one, an offside that was clearly on,and another for a foul on the keeper,that said,we were very unlucky,gordon went the right way for 5 of Pikes' penalties and smackers saved the lucky one.This is the sort of luck that makes a good season..
Also rumour is that Balla will be bringing Pike back out to Bateman next sunday,apparently its "grand" now...
out to bateman. they're running scared already
There was a row. Peake had a player sent off. He punched a Town player and then kicked him on the ground. fair play to the ref for stopping the game for ten minutes to allow both sides cool down.
Town very lucky to get through
How are Clonmel Town looking this year? Have they lost many players from last year?
A row broke out after a collision in the penalty area. Lots of players involved but tbh it was handbags- pushing shoving and shaping. The situation had been diffused when redser o grady decked ian barnes with a cheap shot from behind. When barnes was on the ground he kicked him in the head and stomach. O grady is a thug and a coward and his actions yesterday warrant a lengthy suspension.The match itself was very stop - start with the ref halting play for the softest of challenges. Town conceded early and were always chasing the game from then on. Peake had 3 shots on goal in the entire match- two went in and the other hit the post. Town were literally camped in Peakes penalty box for long periods of time but a combination of poor finishing and last ditch tackles denied them. In fairness to peake they had a gameplan and it almost worked for them. Improvement required from Town.
is that the same redser who plays hurling for tipp
Kenmare(Kerry) 3-2 Bunratty(Clare)

Newtown F.C. 1977-2008 R.I.P.
Hibs goin up!
The next round is the open draw isin't that correct, nice for all the remaining teams to get a nice trip out of it.
You are either pro or amateur, there is no in between!
Ah sure, even if Pike are beaten they can find something to object and get through that way!!!!
here we go again
Sorry m8,this has been dealt with time and again,its hardly Pikes fault for stupidity now is it...Get over it please..
