hey leftie have you got that team photo from the match on sunday?

[Pauliwallnuts]

Leftie & all the Oly B guys hard luck yesterday.

I really thought ye'd make it to Div 2.

What'll ye be like next year.

Same crew again or will ye gain a few or maybe lose a few???

[MadMick]

Guys

No fixtures in the Star this morning, maybe we should make some up, what a shambles this league really is. The clubs should be getting together outside of the League to put together some proposals for the AGM. But no doubt no one can be bothered!!!!!

Unless you can guarantee me 50,000 per year and a company car from the League then I wont consider it. :D

I mean how could I put up with the abuse I would get every Monday morning when I post the fixtures on this forum. :eek:

yeah a few sloppy results cost us in the end but then doesn't everyone have an excuse. the cooraclare manager came in after and told us we were better than most 2nd division teams they played but that's hardly a consolation. as for next year, your guess is as good as mine. right now i feel like hanging up the boots myself but i'm sure over the course of the summer the desire will come back. with regards to the rest of the team a few players who had good seasons may get poached by the a-team as is always the way while a few freshmen will have to decide whether to stick around. coming the other way we will have a few a-team players dropping down but i imagine the core of the team will be more or less the same.

roll on the new season and the 3rd division, woopee! :rolleyes:

Consider it done, contract in the post, only one question though you can only fix the fixtures for Bunratty to suit them and no other club?

Fixing Fixtures comes as part of the job ye will agree!!!!!!!!!!

[OpenGoal]

Anyone have an updated table of the premier table, or at least know who is most likely to be in the relegation play-off. Last i heard it was Rinnenna or Cratloe

Rinneana need to win their last game against Bridge Utd to be in a playoff with Cratloe to play Shannon Olympic A.

[Pauliwallnuts]

You're having a laugh right :D

I had enough ****e to deal with just being the secretary this year.

The rumour I heard was that Oldspices brother was going to take it on but he may stay with the A-team.

All I know is that Skippy is finished with it so it will be interesting to see who takes over.

All should be decided in the next month or so.

[Prem Rep!]

Bridge and Rineanna is on Friday Evening

As far as I know the remaining games wont be played due to lack of interest or other.Not very impressive to see this in any league even just from the point of final placings and that famous word :"CLOSURE".

Thats pretty naff allright but I suppose its hard to be motivated to play when everything is decided allready if thats actually the case.

With the weather the way its been for the last few days I'd actually love a game at the minute.

So is anybody on here playing in the Limerick inter firm this year ??

[MadMick]

Bridge and Rineanna is on Friday Evening

I would say the Bridge will give the game to Rineanna as they have nothing to play for and that should mean that Cratloe v Rineanna should be some game a real scrap, Rineanna I believe have won both Fixtures in the League this year which is quiet surprising considering the table and yes the League have done it again, name any other League in the World that would let Connolly keep the only 3 points they won before they pulled out, guess what it was Rineanna that lost. All results should be null and void for games against Connolly!!!!! When are we going to challenge the League with new ideas and the correct Rules?

Has any action been taken against Connolly other than going into the first division where they were heading for anyway, they should be put into the 3rd division next year and let a 3rd division team into the 2nd and so on...that would reward teams that put time and effort into ther season, im sure teams that are in the playoffs would agree :ball:

[QUOTE=MadMick]I would say the Bridge will give the game to Rineanna

You must be joking, Bridge don't roll over for anyone and would not expect anyone to hand a game to them. Last year when we needed 1 win to secure the league Rineanna came to the bridge and fought like dogs and earned a draw (fair play to them).
They had nothing to play for then but didn't want us to win. Why should we return the favour.
Any team that does not fulfil their fixtures should be fined, whether it be first or last game of the season. Clubs have to take responsibility for improving the image of the league as well. It is easy to point fingers at the Clare League committee (who may I add give hours and hours of voluntary time each year to facilitate our league).

We must improve our own clubs first. Well run clubs means a well run league and a well run club is a proud clud who does not give walkovers.

Well said PremRep (I'll have to ask Beano if you are who I think you are!!!). Many are for too quick to slag off the league without realising how much work they do put in. It seems that the more time and effort you put in to the Clare League, the more duties fall into your lap and the more open you are to criticism. It would be easy for these guys to decide they can't be bothered with the hassle and just chuck it in, and where would we be then? Prime example is Mike Lydon who puts in endless hours in a thankless job. I also agree with what you're saying about not fulfilling fixtures. We had to go out last week and play a meaningless game against Rock rovers. Neither team had anything to play for as far as promotion or relegation was concerned but we did it anyway. The bottom line is, at the start of the season, you sign up to play soccer and to play out the season. Just because you get a bit cheesed off towards the end of the season is no reason to let your team-mates and club down.

Well said Prem Rep. you are dead right. Clubs should take it upon themselves to improve their own clubs image's. The rest will follow suit. Plus what about a little thing called local pride? Why any club would give a walkover is beyond me?

[Prem Rep!]

Yes but what about all the GAA lads??

For a club to be successful they cannot rely on the GAA lads. We in the Bridge are always relying on a few GAA lads to strenghten our squad but the core of the team would be soccer guys.
If we are to accomodate the GAA guys it would ,mean we only have 3 months to get our business out of the way. Most Senior and football teams train for 9 mths in the year.
It is hard in Clare to accomodate everyone but primarily I would worry about the Soccer guys first,GAA guys second.
We can no longer play second fiddle.

[CousinSylDolan]

We can no longer play second fiddle.

Thats the fighting talk needed Prem Rep!!!!!!

Good to see something worth reading on this forum. If all clubs had the attitude that some of ye have then we would improve with each season no doubt...

Huge game Friday really and good to see Bridge will be taking the attitude they took for the 2 game svs Cratloe. I'd expect nothing less from them.

Fair play to the rovers for getting the point in the Bridge last season.... I think we (Rats) gained most out of it when we fell over the line to the Premier title.... I think we had lost to Newtown the same night but won the league in Newmarket the following Sunday.... Happy days but seems yonks ago now!!!!!!!

[MadMick]

Ah those were the days :cool:

Bounced back from losing to Corofin, I hear they are still whingeing about that game last Sunday? What Kind of Team did Newmarket put out?

[shelbourne1904]

They played well considering the cup result.Im told Newmarket had some B team with them and some young lads(good mind you) but they had 16.Sean Lindsay was magic again.
No whinging about Sunday other than about the Hound of the Baskeville who did the line on their side at Doora.What a pain in the ass that man is.

[OpenGoal]

Sean Lindsay is still playing???? What age is he? I remember playing with him ten years ago and i thought he was finishing up back then. Fair play.

There could be news on that today or tomorrow clare league are in a hurry to get the season over so who knows what they'll do

[OpenGoal]

Yes true, and he wouldve been correct

[shelbourne1904]

I think he thought you were done 10 years ago :p
He retired about 7 years ago and made a comeback last year but could only play a few minutes with his knees.This year he is getting through most games.But he does more work and good stuff than most guys do in 10 matches.
If he had been this consistent I,d say Hugh Kelly would have had him in the Oscars.Hugh is a great admirer.Roll on Shanto for another few years!!

[oldspice]

The fixture(s) for the premier/1st division playoff are listed in the champion. It has a provisional fixture for Sunday at 11 Rineanna v Cratloe and also a fixture for 11 for Olympic v Rineanna or Cratloe. I presume this means that if Rineanna don't beat the Bridge on Friday, they will be playing Olympic on sunday (At Ballycasey). Then the Olympic fixture is repeated on Thursday at 7 in Ballycasey. It looks like this means if Rineanna do beat the Bridge on Friday, they will then play off against Cratloe on Sunday for the right to stay up while the losers will then play off against Olympic on Thursday. Confused?

We play in the Clare league did you expect anything else other than confusion, people who might be working sunday will have to wait untill late friday to see if they are playing sunday morning or not...fair play to the league to think about the players, and they wonder why the limerick teams find it easy to get clare players to join there teams,why not have the game Friday followed by the playoff next weekend and if there has to be a match in between it can be played midweek...common sense is too much to ask :mad:

Absolutely not,fair play to Corofin,Newtown never whinged about losing the game,the whinged like all the teams do when they get that ejit the famous Paddy.He was only doing the line but again he needs centre stage.On the match Newtown missed a hatful of changes but Corofin hung in there and got what they deserved.I would also like to wish both Corofin and Moher all the best in the Final.
Newtown played well in the Shield final,2 lovely goals by Johnny O and Cheeky to lead 2-0 at HT,Jay Stretton added a 3rd with a penalty.Great night in the lodge with the cup with hopefully 2 more to follow,we play Bridge Celtic on Sunday in Doora in the FAI area final (2pm) and Rinneanna Rovers in the Munster area Final the following week in Rinneanna,both games will be tough.It was great to see Cousinsyl there,i thought he might have given his views on the match. :ball: :ball:

Came on for the last 15 mins,Paul has struggled with an injury since christmas,he been back on the panel for the last few matches,
and i agree Lindsay is magic,he puts everything into it,he shows great heart in all games. :ball: :ball:

I actually was speaking to a Newtown guy in Shannon last night and he told me he just can't get on the team.
Injured or not???

What a player,shame if he is wasted on the bench.

Lot's of clubs would be crying out for a guy as talented as him,Ballbreaker.

I am not sure it should be wasted on the bench, he is were he is because "He is always wasted in the Pub"!!!! Harsh maybe but Paul has a Junior International Cap, without doubt the most gifted player we have produced and a joy to watch when on song but a flawed attitude, now we could all name a few players with less ability but have done more, ability does not always guarantee success!

[MadMick]

No need for that here mick give it a rest.If you have something to say to bunny then say it to him but dont be saying stuff like that on this site. :mad:

Apologies did not mean to affend, just trying to make a point!! I think the world of Paul and he would freely admit his achilles heel.

[OpenGoal]

With sean lindasay playing well and Pcarr to come back into the team next year, along with the youngsters okoro & cheeky etc., newtown must be fairly confident of a good year next year?? Am i right?? Hope fully the olympic can drag themselves kicking and screaming back up into the premier so we can contest the derby games again.
