Well in the reception is anything as good as what we got form Milford United, that wouldn't be all that bad to be honest.

Have Redcastle played away in the competition this year?

**EAFC_rdfl** · 08/02/2008, 11:29 AM

in the local early rounds i think they did, a few trips through out Donegal I suppose.
Glad to hear Milford looked after youse!

I think the Grattan v Castlebar game has been switched to Mayfield's FAI astro pitch. No surprise really cause it has been p*ssing with rain here in Cork for the last few days!!!

They certianly did. A great atmosphere. A raffle ran during the game, bottles of whiskey to be won. Hundreds of supporters. a great set-up, it really is. nice setting.

Everything was spot on.

PJ hagan is a dangerous player.

Id imagine with some of the younger lads (that came on as a sub), they may be one to watch in the future.

**prionsias9** · 08/02/2008, 1:06 PM

Yes we have played away to Manulla from Mayo

**Galla** · 08/02/2008, 2:22 PM

How are Clonmel Town fixed for game in Dublin tomorrow - travelling in hope or expectation ?? I presume Paul Scully is suspended - will John Shanahan come into the side. He's too good a player (in a number of positions) to waste on bench. The problem area will probably the centre of the defence again. Raymie & Kenneth Kiely don't look convincing.

Town won 3-2. Town were 2 up after 8 mins and running riot against the orchard defence. Two great finishes from Aaron Moroney from pinpoint Ian Fraher crosses.Then the ref and his linesmen decided to level things up by awarding every decision to cherry orchard. Seen some blatant home town refs in my time but todays performance brought it to a whole new level. 2 nil at ht and town started the second half slowly and allowed orchard score from a poorly defended corner. Town brought on Dwaine Burns with 20 mins to go and his pace unlocked the defense before rounding the keeper and slotting home. Orchard were awarded and scored a peno with 10 mins to go. Ian Barnes sent off with 15 left for kicking out after being fouled for the umpteenth time. Needs to learn to keep his head but in all honesty he did well to hold it for so long after being kicked all over the pitch for most of the match, including a 2 footed lunge that warranted a red card by any competent ref. Town need to close games out when they are playing well, tis a lesson they need to learn quickly.

Well done Clonmel town.
So much for neutral referees.

**Dr Mad** · 10/02/2008, 10:04 AM

Nobody there to touch Killester.

Sorry Lads.

**threefivetwo** · 10/02/2008, 11:36 AM

ref tried everythin he could do to let grattan score an equaliser in the last few minutes, gave loads of frees on the edge of the box that shouldn't have been allowed and sent the celtic captain off 4 nothin, ref and the linesman in the second half were a joke and put celtic under big pressure. grattan didn't have many chances, celtic had more clear cut chances and were the better team and showed a lot more heart on the day, celtic definitely deserved to win, if they didn't the ref wud have won it 4 grattan!!!!! as was said about the clonmel game, so much for neutral refferees!!!!!! it was a joke!!! celtic lookin good!!!
