Football in Shannon 2014/15

[Football-Unites]

Age old argument - 1 team in Shannon etc etc

For whatever reason, football in Shannon seems to be played by lads that just want to play for the social side of it. It doesn't seem to be taken seriously, or lads just don't want to put in the effort that could make them win stuff, and be successful. It's a real shame because potentially there could be a competitive side in Shannon.

if there was only one club maybe with a first team,b,c,etc....filter down the quality! too many clubs in the town for any of them to be successful. Two clubs max! Newmarket are the closest club to winning anything decent in Clare football, and there're still finding it hard to do that!

[Football-Unites]

Too many clubs makes it easier for lads to move from club to club. I reckon managers don't push back enough on the players, they just sign them knowing they can play football, but not knowing how committed the player is, or is not.

Wouldn't you think they would just bite the bullet and ask for imalgimation with shannon town.. hibs are going no where .. no schoolboys after u12s and only 1 junior team.. very sad to see.

It's really a waste of a season..should have put in the request to leave Limerick when they heard Shannon town were going..will it be hard looking for players now that this season means nothing to them..

Shannon Olympic only ever had a youths team but they never started bleating on about creating a super underage setup that that would feed the A team and make hibs the super club they thought they would be. So far the whole thing has been an absolute disgrace.
Newtown effectively took (calling it as it is) 1 step forward to take 5 steps back. Next season will be a write off now the news is out. I'm sure the clare league won't entertain a division 2 Limerick side who could possibly be relegated from that division also into the first division. Essentially your looking at about 3 years of **** football in Clare's lower leagues and that's hoping you have team to get through the divisions.
The amalgamation has been an absolute waste of time. I feel sorry for Newtown because park effectively did a number on them. Brought them into the limerick only to end up back in the clare league in a worse situation than when they left.

Olympic cant bleat about a super club because they have no ambition to try and reach it... survive season after season job done poach a few more players from the teams in the area.

when newtown /park amalgamated they had to talk the talk to try and sell the whole thing of a bigger better club which now looks to have failed, Hibs or no other club should have the right to tell / ask clare league what division they want to play in as far as I am aware rule in league all new clubs must start in division 3 , hibs have no choice but to start again and who knows if they will even have a team left to enter league season after next ,, agree totally on amalgamation and I'm sure a good few old newtown people must be disgusted to see where this Shannon hibs club is at now after their club was disbanded... Hibs should do the decent think and re-name the club Newtown ;)

how did park do a number? as it stands both clubs (well their A teams) were better off before the amalgamation. It was newtown who had wanted to get into the limerick league for years

blaming park is incorrect as I am sure there are a lot of people who regret it from both sides. As it stands there will now be two teams in the lower leagues of clare when in the past (not so long ago) you had newtown holding their own in the clare, Shannon town getting promoted and challenging 1a and park holding their own in the limerick premier and winning trophies......how sad it is for Shannon football as a whole to have regressed so much!!

two feet up

I agree that a lot of people who regret it from both sides but as I have said in earlier posts why did all the park people jump ship so soon after the amalgamation they all knew what they signed up for when agreeing on newtown/ park joining together .

it was a long time ago newtown were holding their own in clare seem to remember them getting relegated not so long before move to hibs .. Shannon town were up and down from premier to 1a and as for park holding their own in limerick premier league and winning trophies need a good memory for that one ..

second

I added the other teams to prove a point that all not that great with other clubs as you had a go at one club "hibs are going no where .. no schoolboys after u12s and only 1 junior team.. very sad to see. " is that ok with you

Old git you asked me why I was having a go at hibs ..I was making a point because you were talking about hibs not any other team..
If you have mentioned other teams in original post then I could have made a comment about them too.
