Erris wont win it i have alot of respect of for them,there not good enough too go all the way i hope they win it dont get me wrong,not enough quality.

Glash is a fine keeper and will only get better,yer not really in a position to be slagging keepers off

Just to confirm the game with Kinsale was played on Kinsale's new pitch in Madden Park overlooking Charlsfort. Not played on one of the artificial pitches available in Cork at the moment.

There have been a few interesting comments on Iorras, but two things I see as a real compliment to them is: first opponents feeling they didn't perform, credit to Iorras for not allowing them to and second from what I can see all teams they have played have complimented them as a team and a group of supporters...

Ya,because christy doyle,robbie kelleher and dave morris are useless.

St Peters- Dont know much about them but what i have heard is that they have that experience that will stand to them.. but then again having 3 or 4 experienced players out of 11 leaves gaps open IMO.

Lisselton Rovers- with all the talk of tralee dynamos goin A league lisselton have gone about there business quietly and knuckled down and signed some decent players includind irish junior o driscoll, add experienced EL players and Kerry oscar traynor players all in to one and the side looks players and are very good.

St Peters 0-2 Lisselton

Its only my opinion going on what i have seen of lisselton and heard os St Peters

Just some insight for you with regard to peters, the 3 or 4 players you refer to with EXPERIENCE do have excellent experience having all played league of Ireland, but in terms of experience what do you mean? league of ireland or winning things? In 05 peters got to FAI senior cup 1st round with about 6 or 7 of the current line up, winning the intermediate midland league and winning every league they have been in in the last 5 years. The team from what i have seen of them are very experienced and have won league's and cups and have played at league of ireland level. So they are a decent side, i for one am looking forward to it, we'll see if your right!!!

When you get to the semi - final of a competition i dont think quality matters that much and by the way Iorras do have Quality, the year after they won the FAI Youths cup in 2004( I think) they went to the quarter final, they drew 1-1 with the sligo rovers superstars and lost on peno's. From what I have seen so far in this cup, well "quality"?? Iv been hearing about this junior international and that junior international, they are 180 minutes away from a historic junior cup win and I think they can do it, maybey I'm wrong but that is my opinion, but for where the Iorras lads are from, lets face it they would i'm sure have 1 or 2 players on the Irish junior scene over the past number of years. They've no quality, no pace according to some people on here yet they just keep winning.Apparently the Kinsale strikers had pace to burn. They must be doing something right and by the way that comment about discipline with Pike? the game was over at that stage anyway, if Pike were that great and Iorras were that bad why couldnt Pike put the game beyond doubt in 80 minutes or whatever time they got a man sent off??????? Laughable really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just my opinion! Come on Iorras do it for the county!!!!!!

**manuman** · 26/03/2009, 3:14 PM

Was also at the View Iorras game I dont think the view keeper made a mistake for the goal, he was beaten fair and square in the air?? Well Views goal wasnt exactly Barcelona either. A sloppy corner that Iorras failed to clear and View put it away!!!!!! I'm not an Iorras man but cant beleive the stick they are getting!

St Peters slight favorites with Paddy Powers 13/10. Lisselton are 6/4,and 5/2 to draw. They must have taken a few bets becasue they opened the week at 7/4 and lisselton 8/5. I agree with you Limfan, anything can happen in a semi, Cup upsets all over the world prove that. It seems Sunday is going to be a very even game, I hope the weather holds up becasue McCarthy can get heavy.

explain what you meant by the smilie so,alright its not a slag as such more of a dig

**trueview6** · 26/03/2009, 10:29 PM

Hes not a good keeper thats my opinion,if he played with any other club bar the boro you would say the same.

**Boroman** · 26/03/2009, 10:35 PM

everyone is entitled to their opinion trueview but I thought Darren was one of the best up and coming keepers when he was minor,he lost his way for awhile but now seems to have got his act together and is showing signs of his true ability,Daithi seems to be getting the best out of him
