Clare League 2010/11

what other "local" clubs from clare

jesus planners you must be losing your memory.. only out the road bridge utd a & b / shannon olympic a & b !! there is also a couple of other clare teams playing in limerick based in shannon. :D

[First]

why not invite one or two other locals clubs to play i'm sure teams would be delighted to get a game in before season starts.

As of now Rineanna and Bunratty still exist, granted the later in a new guise, so I shouldn't see a problem with them. Also you are correct I am sure other teams in the locality would be more than happen to partake if that was required.

[First]

who git

Welcome back. Any news for us on the football front?

I think lifford and avenue will be the two clubs up there for the title, i'd say newmarket will be around there somewhere too but from what i've seen of them in pre-season i doubt they will be strong enough to win the league

Yeah I'd be inclined to agree with this, think it will be between the two Ennis teams with Lifford just nicking it. Would be interesting if it went down to the last game of the season between the two and playing each other in the last game in the season.

would not read to much into pre-season games its all about getting lads match fit.. if newmarket hold onto same squad as last year they will give it a good shot at retaining their league title. avenue are obvious challangers but what are you basing lifford on.. they have always had good teams but seem to fall away at end of season year after year .

Heard Newmarket lost 2 big players and i heard Lifford have brought in a few heads old git.

[Bayern Munchies]

Who have you heard left Newmarket and where to, and who are the few new heads Lifford brought in? Heard a few rumours about who big dad has brought in alright...

[Hibs7772]

From what I have heard lifford have brought in a couple of Shannon lads so it very possible that Lifford could just well nick it

[First]

Is Martin Oneill back playing?

No, Martin has been advised not to play again. Tough on him as he is an outstanding player.

[theboywonder8]

That's a pity,top player and a top bloke too who was capped for his country,

[old git]

Heard Newmarket lost 2 big players and i heard Lifford have brought in a few heads old git.

who did you hear left newmarket & who signed for lifford .

[Second]

In my opinion most talented player ever in clare.. Tough on him..

You obviously didn't have the pleasure of watching Noel Collins play football :)

[Planners]

who have newmarket lost maybe one or two older lads retired but newmarket have some good player coming up. when are the rovers going back training.also GIT i think you might find lifford had a good end to last season.

[LegendStriker10]

Typical throw away comment from Second . If he really knew anything about clare soccer he would know that there was plenty of Junior soccer players down through the years with a lot more talent than Nabs . I could name them but I really could not be bothered . Nabs was a good player and the thing that made him a good player was his pace not his natural talent . To say he was the most talented player EVER in Clare is a bit much .

[Second]

Whatever ML

[Hibs7772]

who did you hear left newmarket & who signed for lifford .

didnt hear who left newmarket just heard they lost 2 heads and from what i've heard they have lost davy wall to shannon hibs too. lifford have signed paul cantillon and cheeky along with some lad from galway i think

[theboywonder8]

Was any of these other players capped,just a question now don't all ate me.

[Second]

Your right none of them were.. Majority of these players wouldn't be as good in present day football.. Ya a few would but maybe only 4 or 5.. And in my opinion Martin would be right up there.. To say he had no natural talent is a ridiculous comment too..

[old git]

You obviously didn't have the pleasure of watching Noel Collins play football :)

smashing footballer , but thought bernard was a better player and kieren up there with the best in clare also.. 3 players who would walk onto any team in clare then & now you boys in the village have been producing some class players over the years.

davy wall has an irish junior cap

[AC Melon]

who did you hear left newmarket & who signed for lifford .

Davy Wall gone from newmarket, think hes gone back to shannon. think they lost another centre midfield player too..Big Daddy is always bringing in players, im sure he has signed a few new faces.

Read my post again I never said he had no natural talent . I said it was his pace not his natural talent . Yeah Martin would be right up there as one of the best but to say he was the most talented player EVER . You obviously are going back around ten years about the same length of time you have been involved in Clare soccer . Have you ever seen Noel and Bernard Collins play . have you ever seen Colm Mounsey and Brian Donnellan play . That is just a few I will go on if you really need me to

[Planners]

What about paul carr(bunny) he was capped aswell

[Planners]

What about paul carr(bunny) he was capped aswell

Let me add Jock Kelly / Pat Fahy and Hugh Kelly - - none capped but represented both club and county at the highest level -

[Hibs7772]

Heard Cian O'Brien is leaving Shannon Olimpic to join Fairview B can anyone confirm this??

[onetrickpony]

Any truth that Rineanna have pulled team out.

[theboywonder8]

What about paul carr(bunny) he was capped aswell

Don't think he was,played a good bit of loi though,he was never capped while playing for pike,quality player though in his day,had a few trials across the water as well.

capped while playing in clare league for newtown thought you knew it all.

[old git]

planners have you any news on rinnena is it all over or are they struggling on it would be a shame to see the club folding alot of good lads involved over the years and i hope the club can keep fighting on.

[Wolverine]

Why is the Clare panel picked already. Seems a bit unfair.why not bring the trials back . A few players from what ever teams.I'm getting on now but would love a crack at it. Not that my club would put me forward or anything:). But there is new talent out there .

[Bayern Munchies]

Where did you see the squad and who is the squad?

[Wolverine]

I don't know the team but don't they have a friendly weds night. I could be wrong.

[old git]

I don't know the team but don't they have a friendly weds night. I could be wrong.

they are playing a hermitage selection weds night so you would imagine squad must be already picked and players informed.

[Planners]

TBH i didnt hear anything - not sure on the other consortium members -

[prawnsandwich2]

Don't think he was,played a good bit of loi though,he was never capped while playing for pike,quality player though in his day,had a few trials across the water as well.

they couldn't prove anything against him

[mastermind1]

Not sure what the squad is but I got a call from the new manager on saturday. Think the clubs were asked to put players forward, I could be wrong though. Hopefully other clubs will represent properly this year, went to Galway last year with 8 or 9 from Avenue and only 14 in total

[Bayern Munchies]

Seems strange picking a squad when there hasn't been a competitive ball kicked so far...Will be interesting to see who made the squad and if any of last years very good youth squad got a call up...

[mastermind1]

First game against Limerick has to be played on or before 31 sept so that only gives the manager 4\5 weeks to prepare for that. With midweek games and club training we ll be lucky to meet 5 times before the game, possibly 3 friendlies and 2 training sessions

[Bayern Munchies]

True enough I suppose, curious to see what the squad is...Goodluck with the game against Limerick anyway buddy, should be a cracker

[mastermind1]

Hopefully this year we will give limerick a better game than last year, although it finished 3-2 last year we were poor on the day. They have quality throughout the squad but I m sure we can match them. Oscar traynor starting alot earlier this year, anyone know why?

[avenueC]

oscar traynor is gonna be completed before january,, think so as it doesnt interfere with fai and munster junior comps nearing their completion,, obviously limerick and the likes put the pressure on so it wouldnt be a hinderence come end of season,,
sad to see rineanna fold,, some great lads there down thru the years

[footballfriend]

As regards Hermitage, manager was asked to put players forward for it.

[mastermind1]

Just seen the clare league site, is it official that Rineana are gone?

[theboywonder8]

capped while playing in clare league for newtown thought you knew it all.

Read the post again,I said I didn't think he was capped,was that before he joined pike??

[AC Melon]

Heard Cian O'Brien is leaving Shannon Olimpic to join Fairview B can anyone confirm this??

The deal fell through.. couldnt agree terms as far as i know.

[Hibs7772]

really? was he demanding high wages?? for a B team? :O
