Things could never be that bad. I knew when it was time to pack it in unlike you and your 200 years of service to one club. Unless it's one of the other 2 of the consortium that is stirring it.

i think you have the wrong guy First , i am still togging out for the Rovers - - if you talking about the proud past then your talking about the greats of Rineanna.

so many comparisons to the Bunratty team in the early 00 and look at that club now .

planners

no comparisons with the unfortunate bunratty completely different set -up at newmarket and they around to long to let it happen , more chance of it happening above at Shannon town ?? Also Bridge Utd brought in alot of outside players the last year or two and nobody commented about them losing their identity

And what makes you think it could happen up at Shannon town. You obviously haven't a clue what your talking about. Majority of there squad is all Shannon based. The reason bunratty went down hill is they had no youth or schoolboy setup at the time so had to bring in people from the outside.They have now got there schoolboys back up and running which is great to see . You should be more worried about your beloved hibs who seem to be losing players every year at all age groups.

second
the obvious reason is the manager same person involved with bunratty/lifforfd and brought in a lot of players and when he left all the players followed... seems to be the same pattern happening above at town nothing to do with Shannon based players it's the lack of players who have been involved with Town Why did Carew leave to join Olympic a town Man through and through ? .. but will agree with you on having youth / schoolboy set up should help Shannon town if the players progress to A team having said that did not see to many young players starting or on the bench for Town today ??
Also what is your obsession with Hibs anytime anything said about Town you have to bring Hibs into it as for my beloved Hibs for losing players at all age groups every year they only have two under age teams soi cant see where they are losing players at all age groups I looks like you don't know what you are talking about now> I have no involvement with club which is extremely strange as I love them so much and they won their first game today back in clare league 6-0

seriously i can only see one of them adding to the quality already in NOF - - in saying that my money is on Bridge Celtic on Sunday if reports are to be believed about NOF's ability to field 11 players

Good call planners hope you had your money on Bridge Celtic

"Good call planners hope you had your money on Bridge Celtic "

i'm not a betting man but i'm rarely wrong

Town and Bridge Utd are the ones to watch - good starts for them

i taught AVE were supposed to be throwing shapes - anyone report on this ?

i hope Town dont do an Olympic AKA Liverpool - i refer to last season , great start { could win the league } mediocre middle part {not sure whats going on } and a dismal finish {sack the manager}

long season to go yet -

just on a side note i what to share with ye that some of the NOF reps on this forum have finally come around and acknowledged my comments {verbally } re the "outside players " although their 1st 3 games may suggest otherwise their panel is still mainly made up of journey men .

**fatronaldo** · 25/08/2016, 7:23 PM

Heard 3rd decision game between corofin b v lifford b was abandoned after a half hour due to ref getting abuse of corofin. Score at the time was 4 -0 to lifford

I don't think Olympic sacked Manager last year .. thought he had told them he was leaving at end of season

long way to go yet indeed but from what I have seen Town have a better squad assembled to safely finish top 4-5 in league
on the outside players Unfortunatly Newmarket need them and a few more to try and progress in National competitions
not to many top clubs in Limerick / tipperary ..etc have all local lads involved
