Remember guys that there were 2 sendings off for the bridge celtic players for punches on avenue players aswell, 2 sides to every story!

[MikeBassett]

Why are ye talkin about that incident again? Leave it, ye're asking for bans/the thread to be closed again, everyone knows the story there at this stage. No point talkin about it on here

[mastermind1]

Lads,it's been a long season,leave out the personal stuff and you'll still have your thread.

[avenueC]

[AWOL]

Looks like it will be a short AGM on Monday, looking at the paper today they have most of the positions sorted before there is even a vote??

[Banner_balls]

Do we know who are filling the positions?

[old git]

Do we know who are filling the positions?

it's all on the clare league website !!!!!!!!!!!!
but hear especially for you :D
CDSL nominations for the AGM..................

Paul Tuohy is the favourite to become the next Chairman of the Clare District Soccer League after nominations closed on Friday night. The only other candidate in the running is current Vice-Chairman Donie Garrihy who is expected to contest the election for Vice-Chairman instead. Frank Healy and Paul Tuohy have also been nominated to contest the Vice-Chairman election. If Tuohy is elected Chairman there may be a contest between Healy and Garrihy for Vice-Chairman. Oliver Fitzpatrick, Michael Lydon & Michael McInerney have been nominated to continue their positions on the committee and all have indicated they will remain for another season if elected. There should be a good contest for Registrar between existing Registrar Frank Healy and Leo Murphy from Bridge Utd. Murphy has received a lot of nominations for the position so could run Healy close on the night. Oliver Fitzpatrick is not seeking re-election as PRO and Gerry Scanlon from Hermitage will be the next PRO if elected. There will be contests for the FAI & MFA delegate positions this year. Oliver Fitzpatrick, Donal Magee and Jim Madden have been nominated for the FAI delegate position while Donal Magee, Tomas Leahy and Jim Madden have been nominated for the MFA position. Its not clear yet if Madden will contest either or both of these positions. Madden has also been nominated for President. Finally Jason Ryan from Kilrush has been nominated for the Youth Liason Officer position.

Motions/Rule changes will be available here after committee meeting on Tuesday night.

avenue

welcome headbutt hope your input to thread improves :D

[mastermind1]

Any transfer rumours lads, i hear bunratty will be losing quite a few players, is this true?

[Banner_balls]

The size of the room was a joke and fair enough if that’s all they could get then they should have had bottled water for everyone present. Maddens son lost the rag a bit but he def had some valid points. All proposals should be mentioned and dismissed if invalid for whatever reason. The meeting dragged on too long people just wanted out of their after 11 bells. Maybe they should have the meeting at an earlier time.

Not the start Paul Tuohy was expecting.

[old git]

when was the last time you watched a match in clare..

quite recently .. and have seen olympic a / bridge utd b / bunratty / avenue / newmarket celtic / bridge celtic / rineanna all play this year ... and have also seen shannon town and park/hibs play in clare :p

[azceltic]

As regards AGM would i be right in saying that the previous committee Chaired by Jim Madden sets the agenda's and motions for AGM, so think its their responsibilty to sort out Shannon Olympic motion. Good Luck to Mr Tuohy in his new role hopefully he has a good influence on the progression of the League. Any idea when its reset for ?

[AWOL]

There are quiet a few ways that meeting could have been made easier/better. But I do think that young man had a very valid point. There is no transparency in the diciplinary procedure. And dicipline starts at the top table. i think that the people at the meeting were very patient in the most uncomfortable of circumstances. While people on the floor were trying to make a point there were people on the top table talking and not listening and at one stage one of them was engrosed in texting. I am glad there will be another meeting, it will give everyone more time to be prepared and give the New committee members a chance to get their ideas together for moving forward.

[AWOL]

Don't know the lad all that well and perhaps inexperience led to a bit of waffle but there were several attemps made to hush him up and yet he had the balls to stick to his guns and get his point across, longwinded as it was. Last season jogged along fine really but the biggest issue, to me anyway was why some people were getting huge fines and bans for cursing and swearing and others "alledgedly" kicked someone in the face causing severe damage to him and his family and was rewarded by playing on the Oscars. That was not the only incident that was dealt with badly through the season but it really sickened a lot of people. And as Eoin said last transparency in decisions would cut out alot of that stuff. i don't agree with total disclosure as there will be privacy issues but as the old saying goes "what is good for the goose is good for the gander" and leaking out stuff made for bad feeling. it is good to see young fellas coming to meetings and the great circle of life certainly goes round some of them will sit on that committee some day and I don't suppose any of made a great speech when we started but you learn as you go along with the help of others.

[Buckled]

i heard this too..3 or 4 going to shannon town.. and rumours of 2 going to bridge utd and 2 to shannon hibs.. again these are all rumours and i'm sure jonesy and hogie will have a good chat with these guys and convince a few to stay

I hear one is going to Avenue. C.C

[Buckled]

Ya i agree. Think he'll struggle to get on the avenue team.

[Wolverine]

Ye are forgetting about pa Wilson Davy mac. He would be an ok sub though.there's talk of Davy o grady but that's only a rumour.now he would be a good catch.but we don't need to fix what's not broken

[eric7]

Sad news today of the premature death of Noel (Noelie) Mullane Ennistymon Celtics Centre Forward and former Lifford and Corofin Harps player. Condolences to his Family. Rest in Peace Noelie

[club-divided]

Condolences to Noelies family and team mates, he was a fine player. RIP

[Wolverine]

Rip noelie

[Planners]

No word on managers on the move so far - must be a tough job

[Sheik]

ya wouldn't think it would be easy..putting up with us lads.. surely newmarket would have no problem filling that post... has it been confirmed that jonesy and hogan are rats new managers

Confirmed.

[Planners]

Heard the same rumour this morning - not sure if there is any truth in it - big loss for the rovers if its true

[Planners]

best of luck to them good to see younger guys getting involved

I wouldnt say young :)

[devilfish]

I wouldnt say young :)

Young in terms of some lads still trying to ply their trade in the premier:eek:

Time for you to step up now HK and fill the hot-seat. Myself and Syl would relish the touchline banter with you!

[Planners]

[mastermind1]

[BigTackle]

[devilfish]

I better get more bibs!! ;)

[mastermind1]

Dont think you could call rineannas,bunratty,shannon olympics pitches better than lees roads pitches to be fair. the incident has been dealt with by the clare league going on the refs report so you should take it up with them if your not happy...Anyway are teams back training yet? Bunratty will be strong if those players sign I think.

No need to be diggin up that incident again...

To be fair the condition Lee's Road's pitches have been in for the last year and a half or so you couldn't say that they're better pitches than Olympic's or Bunratty's pitches or even much better than Rineanna. You'd be lucky to see a blade of grass in LR at times. Apparently Bridge Utd are back training since last week

[BigTackle]

well fifa pro its all about a squad and if the rats have that they will push avenue ya that is treacys game i wish he could stay with 1 club cuz he would b a super player if he did the lad knows how to play the game but will he play it :)

[BigTackle]

It's easy to deal wit ego's.... It's called B team football.. Nobody should be above a manager..

newmarket dont have the players to do that plus player power in that club is crazy :)

[BigTackle]

no lad he is in with limerick 20s but newmarket do need a outside mad

[mastermind1]

Avenue back training next monday night! On the lees road pitches, there in good condition at the moment but the problem with those pitches are they have between 6 to 10 games every weekend and with teams training there aswell during the week it makes it impossible to keep them in good nick.

[BigTackle]

ne transfer rumours floating around

[Buckled]

Ya hear alot of rumours. But will keep them close to my chest until we get them to sign.

[anchorman]

I heard Bunratty will also have the services of Derek Byrne,Evan glynn and steve carroll. To be quiet honest couldnt see trevor maxwell or darren cullinan leaving there beloved villages. Bunratty will be strong either way this year and with david hogan and david jones in charge they will be concentrating more on keeping whats there imo.
