Janesboro 3-2 Fairview
Boro opened the scoring through Tony Curtis with a screamer into the roof of the net,Fairview equalised straight away after a defensive error left the Fairview striker with a simple tap in,soon after Alan Sheehan beat 4 men,yes 4 and his accurate shot nestled into the bottom corner,Shane Madden should of seen red for an awful challenge on the Boro centre forward,2-1 at HT.Boro went 3-1 up when Thomas McInerney got in behind the Fairview defense and left FAI winner Martin Neary(aka Nero) for dead,his shot was saved by the View keeper but it fell to the feet of Jan Canda who put the ball in the net,Fairview scored their second when sloppy defending let the View player with a free header,View launched long ball after long ball but the Boro rearguard stood firm and dealt with everything that was thrown at them,View had numerous free kicks but not one was on target,with time running out Mark Purcell made a great point blank save to ensure Boro took the points
thats an accurate account of the game,and as everyone on this site knows i'm not one bit biased
Said i would not get involved but here goes. There were 2 patches of sand on the pitch.one approx 2yrds x 4 yrds and another of 2yrds x 3 yrds.this was necessary because of ongoing problems with the corporation storm drainage sytem that runs directly under the pitch and seems to be leaking through broken pipes. when there is any rain of a heavy nature the water backs up from hyde rd and all of janesboro, up through these areas. this caused the 2 VERY SOFT AREA's as above.Janesboro are awaiting info from corpo, who by the way wanted to come in last october and start digging for the drains. the rest of the pitch was fine and like any soil based pitch that has a lot of traffic on it divots alot. Footymad dont be so arrogant or ignorant to be so churlish when you are unaware of the circumstances.
good to see that the majority of view supporters has gotten past the arrogant and condesending attitude of previous "supporters". Still think that view could well win this division, Good football team with some guys who could do a job for premier team.
sick of narcissists.....
You are representing your club 24/7, at work, at home and everywhere you go. You don't stop being a Pike,Fairview or even Geraldines player when the game ends.
Losing happens(a lot with us) and you should never, ever whinge or make excuses.
Lose with the same respect you win with
Well said Messi and even you Dutch boy!!![]()
If you had been reading the forum properly you would have seen that i had said well done to boro on a previous quote on Sunday" see below "and that i never used the pitch as an excuse. I just simply mentioned in my opinion the state that the pitch was in ,the pitch was same for both teams. Can a guy not have an opinion on a pitch the boro had said the same about the bruff pitch the previous week.
So in future take a look before you write your ignorance on this forum.
"Well done to boro who took there chances on the day scored 3 from about 4. The view deserved at least a draw failed to take their chances must have had about 6 or 7 one on ones but finished very strong and looked the much fitter team. Have to say the pitch was an absolute disgrace for a pitch that used to be always in good nick. "
