View Full Version : Clare Junior Soccer
i don't know a lot about many clubs in clare so i wouldn't give comments on something i know nothing about. so when i see someone talking horse**** about something they know **** all about it ****es me off. lets get some facts straight here. if someone said that they hoped your club gets relegated this year, best thing that could happen to clare soccer and they'd love it, you would have a pop at them as well. well thats what jim madden said about avenue. he is supposed to be the chairman of clare soccer and treat everyone fairly etc. also he went on clare fm ranting about a club with posts and jerseys when he thought avenue where pulling a fast one getting the bridge game called off. only having to eat his words afterwards.(not the first or last avenue/madden conflict)
what the **** did the clare league have seven (is seven too generous) years ago actually what the **** did any club have over seven years ago. nothing with the exception of newmarket. where it turns out that there was a gradient of around 18feet from goal to goal, but christ you could have a shower. looked forward to it every year. sure we'll all be off to join st pats (who bought their pitch for one euro)and there great pitch with changing rooms. the state of the pitch league and clubs??????????? the soccer players of clare payed for a lot of digi with subs for the last no. of years. clubs in other leagues have better facilities so i wouldn't get excited. how many clubs pulled out of clare leagues, how many teams gave walk overs????? right?
avenue are given the worst pitch in premier??? where do connoly play their home matches (away) lifford play on avenue's old pitch in ruan. cratloe didn't have a pitch till last 3 months of season. (they borrowed it) newmarket are playing in quality pitch while there pitch they bought for one pound is been done up. moher play in community pitch just like avenue. maybe they should do a lifford and plead squatters rights, get payed to leave and set up with pitch??????
the reason avenue are so successful is that there are plenty of people that give a ****. in fact i would go on record as to say they have the best structure out of any club in clare. they have under 6, 8's and 10 who have won the majority of small comps played. the 11's 12's and 13 won their leagues and hopefully 14's will win cup. they don't have a 15's 16' or youths but will have by 3 yrs time. the b team got promoted and a team won premier league. pitch or no pitch they are heading in the right direction. would you prefer to be sitting in your clubhouse with old mother hubard staring at the cupboard????????????
the facilities in fairgreen are not worst in the clare league by miles. any big game that was played over the last 20yrs changing rooms and showers were always provided and grub after the game. any improvements sought in the green were always knocked back.the club have tried unsuccessfully over the last no. of years to get their own pitch but with no success. this year they were offered 6 acres in inch for €250,000. competing with builders, don't think so. but while other clubs lock there posts away (if they have them) and put the club jerseys in the garage avenue will be actively looking for a pitch. the most knowledgeable comment you made was avenue are the most successful club in clare history, so can you imagine if they had there own facilities, the mind bogiles??????????????
yours in sport
townie.
next time your near the fairgreen you love so much I think you should pop around the corner to the hospital and ask if there is anyone you can talk to about your problems i think you will find they are very good at dealing with mental illness :D ,from what i can see avenue are a good club but dont have any facilities of note , stop living in the past and the fact that nobody had any pitches, i think you should take a look now and see all the work that is being done by clubs,Rats,Newtown,sixmilebridge newmarket,kilkishen lifford all with new pitchs,clubhouse or some for of development going on,Cratloe are a new club and they are trying to get things sorted so stop taking digs at clubs because people have helped them out over the years i think they use to call it local pride

think you should read it again 3-5-2, never once said i love fairgreen. it's the people who are having a pop at the green and those who know **** all about club past present and future who its aimed at. fair ****s too all those clubs and more power to them in the future. don't worry 4-5-1 the best soccer facilities will be in ennis next year. hope there up to your standards.

thats it well done you'll be better in no time,as for standards i play for olympic so the fairgreen is already up to my standards, dont claim to know alot about your club but just stated the facts as someone from outside the county might see which is good team no facilities get over it and move on,

As for that Boss fella, he's right, they did stuff us twice but he forgot to say that they got hammered by Newmarket 3 days later and that dashed their title hopes.... what a waste...can't wait to go to the horse field in Ruan again next year...no wonder this league is a joke with places like that....thanks Syl for the back-up..I'll bring one of my premier medals with me next year and let the boss have a look, it'll be the closest he ever gets to it....

Good win for Olympic last night, but match ruined by yet another abysmal refereeing performance by the shameless Albert Murphy. Producing a straight red for the words "Ah come off it Albert" borders on the incredible I know, but its true. What was wrong Albert, time of the month perhaps???

I don't think Albert handled the game too badly overall, but I would have to agree the sending off was nothing short of ridiculous. What he said just after you went off was that he was sick of "their" whinging so I would have to say Carlos and Gaz probably sowed the seeds. No justification but it seemed to be where he was coming from.

Congrats to Olympic on reaching the play-off but I would have to warn ye not to get carried away with puttin 3 past a Kilkishen team with only 5 regulars playing and 2 of them had to go off injured. Sure, those that witnessed the "Spice" making his entry would realise how desperate a situation it was. I can only assume the Olympic boys were taking it easy but ye'll need to up the performance a notch or two when it comes to playing Rineanna or Cratloe. The best of luck to ye.

Bit of jealousy on your part devil? Still sore you were hammered twice in one season by a team playing their first season in the premier. As for the horse field what would ye be complaining about. A decent surface would be wasted on ye. Your centre half spent the games playin one twos with the clouds. Oh yeah and what did ye win this season again? No wonder all your best players are leaving. Rats are always the first off a sinking ship!

Yeah, finish was good. My "electric" pace may have been exaggerated by the fact that the guy at the back was chasing Jimmy all over the pitch for 80 mins though, and was probably knackered. Still, game was ruined for me as I said but sur no point trying to apply logic to the actions of that referee. He's clearly mad.
Oh yeah, STOP DRIVING ACROSS MY PITCH AT LUNCHTIME!!!! All this stopping and starting is disrupting the flow of the game! :D :D

normally, yes, but I spent the first half of the season warming the bench and alot lately injured so I'm raring to go at this stage. I agree with your comments earlier about raising our game if we are to overturn whatever team we play in the play-off but I think we can do it. Most of the team have played in big matches before so we wont be too nervous and can just get on with the football. Plus a nice flat pitch, i.e. doora or newtown will suit us.
Production will be up tenfold here in the office once the season is over and this website becomes redundant for 3 months, bout time too!!!

How refreshing to hear someone from Lifford give a balanced view of a game (or of anything for that matter). Well done plasticpitch, it was quite an achievement for your first season and if it weren't for the boss ye'd probably have won the goodwill of most contributers to this thread also.

typicall gaa team, depends on who turns up. (no doubt they will have everyone and their grannies for this one) they are pretty big and physical. they have couple of nice players, go 1 up will break there resistance go 1 down and they will battle twice as hard. never seen oly b playing, but if they play football like A team should do it.

Unless they've changed considerably from last season, they'll be dogged and physical. Not a dirty team but well able to give and take a few knocks. They'll probably have their full contingent out on Sunday so don't expect anything too easy. However, they collect most of their points from home games as their pitch (if you can be charitable enough to call it that) takes some getting used to so doesn't suit visiting teams. Most of their good play comes through Christy O'Donoghue who is pushing on but still some operator. Dangerous from direct free kicks anywhere within 25 yards.

Not at all, bit of a sore head and a late start to the day. Gutted by yesterday's result. After all the work put in over the course of the season we've nothing to show for it.
As for the game yesterday we were unlucky. We missed a few chances and they took theirs. But that's how football works I suppose. We weren't helped by the fact that we were missing our keeper which caused a complete reshuffle in our team and our most dangerous looking player going off injured midway through the first half.
I guess we'll have to wait another year or so to get the opportunity to have our revenge on Bunratty B.

Olympic B 0 - 1 Cooraclare
Olympic B deserved a draw, brave perfromance. They dominated the first half , aided by a strong breeze but failed to capitilise on thier dominance and ultimately paid the price. Brilliantly taken goal by the cooraclare striker in the 2nd half, but as Olympic dominated the first half, the opposite was true of the second half, and you could feel a goal coming for Cooraclare as the 2nd half went on. Some great performances from the Olympic side, particularly in defence, but just lacked the cutting edge in attack. So another season in div 3 for the boys, shouldve won the division really but complacency seemed to set in and they idled on front................

I'd be confident Bunratty B will not be relegated to the 3rd after next season... or do you mean Specials B might get promoted in the future?
From what I hear Newtown B are delighted with Cooraclare as they ensured there is a local derby game in the 3rd division next season!!!!!!!
