Clare League 2013/14

Alan Kelly possible replacement

[footballfriend]

S Kelly was training last night. Has he suddenly picked up an injury??

[Planners]

No place for DO'Grady ? - - - one of the best full backs in the League IMO

[Planners]

Spoke to him and he said he wouldnt be there , probably on the **** the night before anyway - he must be looking for excuses already - tends to get taken off alot in games or just dosnt start !!
Funny he had ideas he'd get on the Irish Junior team

[footballfriend]

Interesting to hear. Doubt its true. Dnt think its true. David O'Grady is also injured.

[Planners]

Is that old fellow still playing - Russell - - havnt heard anything from him in while

[mouldedstuds]

spoke to who? kelly or d o grady. big loss for club and county if true, ( kelly that is)
put malley in for injured duck so and put e o brien in midfield with daniels centr back,, plenty of options

[fifty50]

If we want to play a passing game out from the back Daniels isn't an option

[mouldedstuds]

what about r phillips, he played the last few games didnt he

[Second]

Lads the desmond league will have the bare 11 any team clare put out will win easy

[Planners]

Not a bad side mouldedstuds
Id have Reidy over Crock though
and Colin central with Hayeso wide

Is Reidy still in the squad?

Is that Marty Reidy former Rineanna great ?

[fifty50]

Ya bang on planners that's him!!

How would an OT team only have the bare 11? surely they would just call up a few more players, doesn't even make sense

There out, 4pm on a Saturday and nothing to play for, can't imagine they'll put up too much if a fight

Oscar Traynor isn't seen as a prestigious competition to most leagues anyway.
not sure they even entered last year.

Exactly fifty50 ..

I'm not disagreeing with you just saying the fact that if they can only put out the bare 11 considering they can pick players from all of the Desmond surely they would at least get together 16 half decent players. Doesn't show a great interest whether they are out or not is my point

Thankfully this Clare set-up will be only interested in how they and their players approach this game and won't be taking anyone for granted.

[avenueC]

irrespective if the desmond league put out their best team or a team dragged together, it is of no concern to clare.
progress straight to a qf is all that matters
best of luck to the lads tomorrow

Hopefully, you can never have too many signed! No point in signing players who can't kick a ball either though

[Shuffleruns]

Who scored? any report on the game?

Cheeky with a brace

Heard from a referee they got lucky for their winner. High ball in and the keeper dropped the ball through his hands or something like that..

[YNWA]

Hopefully, you can never have too many signed! No point in signing players who can't kick a ball either though


Why did they bother to sign you so?

[Hibs7772]

Why did they bother to sign you so?
Hahaha Not a clue, you'd have to ask Gunner that :D

[footballfriend]

Good reports on Munster champions cup final in both local papers. Pity they can't do it more often. Damn Gaa haha

[mastermind1]

Ya credit where its due, both papers gave great coverage of the build up to the game and the game itself. In fairness though it was a munster champions final and we should expect this. It would be great if we promoted our game and all the leagues a bit more in the local papers to try get more youth involved in the game

[Rider Cups]

Have to agree great coverage, but we seem to get less space than an awful lot of other sports or should that be a lot of awful other sports !

[old git]

great coverage but probally only because it was Avenue involved

whats the story with games tomorrow still going ahead with the terrible weather today

All games off

[Second]

All games off

Agh balls I was looking forward to bridge v avenue

[mastermind1]

Lads just wondering has it ever been the case that a side has not played at least 1 league game by christmas in Clare before. Avenue will possibly play their first league game on January 5th 2014. The following week is Fai, Fai again the following week again if we advance. Munster junior against newmarket the following week which is then followed by oscar traynor. All this before the clare cup has even started so it looks like we will have 1 or 2 league games played by february...we better cancel the summer so lol.

Ps. Happy xmas to all

[fanaticfan]

Sounds like a joke. Was it the same last year

ive being saying it for a long time now, scrap league cup and play 3/4 league games instead, then the pressure is off fixtures congestion. Happened bridge last year when they got to open rounds of both fai and Munster, happening Avenue this season. It's unfair on teams with ambition

[mouldedstuds]

ye will be under fair pressure then when ye start the league campaign in february pobably 15 points behind most teams, cancel the shield waste of time
