Oscar Traynor Trophy 2012/13

[sligored]

John Gaffney missed a header and Clive Somers took the forward down as last man - no arguments - no cartron player on panel , 1 boyle player , 8 city united players started , 1 glenview , 1 st johns and the boyle lad .
i have never seen the manager at a super league match (and i go to a lot of matches) .
Time for change.
Well done to inishowen but i dont think they would have beaten a properly managed sligo leitrim team.

There are 'country' players, eg Aughanagh, and those in lower division eg Gurteen, that could/should get onto this side - the top-heavy representation from City was kack. 4-5-1 to protect dreadful defence, then just meant Nibber was not a real threat. Tactics, selection and management simply don't appear to be the strong point of Oscar Traynor management team - any posters like to comment as to same situation pertains in their area?

[Longshanks]

Dont want to 'dis' anyone involved, and I'd say that anyone involved gave their best, but I just dont think that the Oscar Traynor carries much weight in Sligo. This year is the first year that I can recall that there was a squad selected from a wide scope of clubs, not just the 'town' clubs. I'd say the OT squad has suffered because of a legacy of being 'town' dominated. Anyhow this years squad contained 5 City Utd, 5 Boyle, 4 Cartron, 3 Merville, 3 Aughanagh, 1 Carrick, 1 Ballisodare, 1 Yeats & 1 Dromore.....so it had a decent spread of representation, there was also a call out to anybody who think they had something to offer to turn up for training.

1. The manager - should be at the Premier league games to decide for himself.

2. Re 'a call out' -- that means, if ever club manager was to send say, a left back, you would have 20 odd left-backs, which goes back to the point the OT manager should select the team.

3. I think a panel, after a few trial games, should select the OT team. Get a few players from Sligo Rovers along with Sligo/Leitrim to select side.

4. I spoke to a lad who was at OT training last year and he picked Sligo/L team before the game and informed me about the way it is run -- simply, a complete farce, training and selection.

There are players eager to play but not under the current administration.

[Longshanks]

Cant really argue with any of that. I couldnt imagine someone answering the call out unless they were in the know in the league. I know I certainly wouldnt have(in fairness that would be 15 years ago). There definitely should be a series of trail games. Its a big improvement on 10 yrs ago when the OT manager didnt drive, but the should be a concerted effort from the top down to sort something out with the OT in the area, either bin it or put more effort into it

ya good first half from limerick ,not great in the second half though they did not have to be as clare not up to much.clare keeper quite good made 2 great saves in first half and limerick did miss some very easy chances while playing some good stuff. cant remember clare having a shot bar one in the second half which neville saved,thought limerick very scrappy in the second half.

Last Nites Result

AUL(Dublin) 6-0 AMATEUR LEAGUE(Dublin)

Scorers for AUL

A Murphy(Sheriff YC)
A McCabe(Sheriff YC)
Sean Beresford(Kilbarrack Utd)(3)
OG

A handy enough win for the AUL with the highlight being our Sean Beresford scoring a hat trick on his debut as the AUL totally outclassed a poor Amaateur League team up in Fraank Cooke Park.

Truth is bitter isint it,they shouldn't be in the competition anyway after not bothering to turn up last year,if it was any other league I'm sure there would have been repurcussions,don't you??why enter the comp in the first place,but then again everyone knows who rules the roost down there don't we.if you don't like the posts don't read them,simple as.

It was a decision of the TSDL management team not to fufil a OT fixture last year. It was nothing to do with a team 'not bothering to turn up' or local clubs releasing players. Rather than bore us with your copious rants about the issue why don't just drop a line to the TSDL and tell them how upset you are about it. I notice the TSDL thread has quietened a lot these days and I think a lot of it could be down to your interventions.

Awwwww,they gave walkover because the elite were playing FAI the following week,should have fulfilled fixture without them,every other league who had teams competing didnt give walkovers including limerick who also were playing FAI following week,you can dress it up all you like but the facts are TSDL gave a walkover,end of.

amazing assessment there of the AUL given your previous opinion that they were an ..average league...when they beat limerick league 2 seasons back.your are correct on the TSDL no walkover should be given in any fai competition...your consistent reference to it though is getting tedious and is obviously based on your anti st.micheals fixation.

Couldn't care less about st michaels,it's the TSDL were talking about,and as for your comment about me saying AUL were average 2 years ago,I wasn't even on this then,so come out of the fog.AUL are going for 3 in a row,I know that much haha.

[Fairkop]

read my post hotspur,never said anything about you being on this 2 years ago,you said last year sometime that limerick were beaten by an average AUL side[the final was 2years ago],that fog you are in has clouded your memory.the AUL are always among the favourites,always a very strong league.

Result
Kerry 2-1 Munster Senior League

Read my post,I said they were going for 3 in a row,never said they were average pal,and they are always favourites,and the day they beat limerick they were not great and that is a fact,limerick should have won that day,
