Clare District League 2016/17

[Side Cutter]

B team and C team players can not play for the opposite team without getting a transfer. Both teams have to have separate panels but players from both can help A team .
I stand corrected. Is this because they are in the same division? I knew players from b team could help the a team. Just assumed it was the same for c players to help out the b...

Hibs look too strong for the 3rd division also, a few players that would be premier standard. Should go up comfortably. Lifford might lose a few of their better players to their A team maybe?

what players at hibs are premier standard. any players in shannon that are premier standard are with town. At premier standard even in clare you have to turn up every week and work for your team.

Gary Leahy the best striker in Shannon by miles

What's your definition of premier standard then ICTRUU? Last time I checked there was two teams from Shannon in the Clare Premier. Also agree with Side Cutter, Gary Leahy easily premier standard

you must be watching a different Hibs to Me .. interested to hear what players you would consider premier standard ?? the obvious one is leahy and that's it in my Opinion ... beaten today In Fai by Rieanna who were missing 4 first team players and all Hibs preimer players could not beat them ;)

long season to go yet don't be getting to confident yet ... lots of football to be played yet and the 3 points lost to Olympic objection may cost them at end of season

looks like you forgot about Olympic A here .. or do you actually think none of them are up to Premier standard ?

Hibs missing 4 first team players yesterday. Completely out played rineanna for the majority of the game. Rineanna scored against the run of play and their jack Charlton style football held out till the end. Not a bad performance against a very strong second division side. Hibs may well lose 3 points but it has not happened yet. Sad to see the objection from Olympic b after they getting battered by hibs. Still 3 points will be very hard to come by for them this season so they might as well go for it :ball:

Agree Hibs probally better team on the day and the odd jack Charlton style by Hibs up to leahy is an option not used enough at times.
Who were the 4 first team players Hibs were missing ..?? clutching at straws now trying to class Rineanna as a very strong 2nd Division team ;) the 3 points are gone unfortunately Hibs made a mistake playing suspended player and rules are in place by league.

[footballfriend]

OT game abandoned in 2nd half. Broken leg for Enda Craddock from Coole FC. 2 1 Clare were up against Shannon Town.

Apologies to Rineanna excellent away win today to inter kenmare Kerry Premier Division in fai ..
also Good wins for Olympic A beating Fenit ( who Beat the Mighty town A In last round) and Coole-Avenuve Beating shannonside / Newcastle west rovers of the Desmond league

[fatronaldo]

Watched 3rd division shield final Saturday and found it a very entertaining game..shannon hibs losing 5-1to a b team is shocking really considering that's their strongest team in the club..

It's their only team in the club....

[fatronaldo]

My point exactly 😀

[Second]

My point exactly 😀

Your point is irrelevant. Ennis has a population of about 27 or 28 thousand people and about 10 or 11 teams playing front ennis. Shannon has a population of about 10 or 11 thousand people and 7 or 8 teams locally.

[Shearer]

Hi lads, Clare came out to play Desmond yesterday in a challenge match for the Oscar Traynor, would any of ye know the result?

[footballfriend]

It was 2 nil to Clare.

[fatronaldo]

That is a poor excuse second..still think a club like hibs should not have lost to a B team by that margin..It's embarrassing imo

Your entitled to your opinion. But what do you mean " a club like hibs " . ..
Unfairness if Gary leahy was there I can guarantee you it would have been a different game. He is way too good for that division.

[fatronaldo]

A club coming into the clare league to make a impact why else would they be in it??..yes gary is a good player but if you are relying on one player something is wrong..imo the result would have been the same maybe not the score line..

I think Hibs winning the shield would have been a bonus for them but they might be more concerned with making your impact with winning league or just getting Promoted couple of teams still in the 3rd division Who are previous shield winners ?
gary on his day is to good for the 3rd Division and a serious addation to Hibs when he is Available

I agree that lifford probally would have won final on 2nd half performance only and helped big time by Hibs collapse.

On a more serious note just spotted a fixture on league website for next Wed night in county grounds Olympic A V Newmarket A who have already met in the league ?? we are all waiting for the Big one Town A V Newmarket :ball:

[mouldedstuds]

Newmarket needed a game because they have a free weekend that weekend for S Kellys wedding.
Olympic obviously agreed to it. Shannon town v Newmarket
games will be towards end of season I suppose a cliff hangar for the league

Newmarket Needed a game ?? they only played Fai at weekend and only one league game less played than most teams in the premier league

Clare league fairly hammered hibs for illegal player v olympic b. six points deduction and 100 euro fine anybody else think it extremly harsh? I cant think of any other teams receiving them same punishment from league for playing illegal player.

[Cruyff]

I heard they appealed it to Munster football association and list again so now it's €300 I'm told

It's in the rule book so it probably is right. However the player that was suspended served his 1 match automatic suspension. Hibs heard nothing from the league about a further 2 games so he came on as a sub at half time against Olympic b. Game finished 6-2 to hibs. The league claim they sent an email to the club informing of the further 2 game suspension, an email that hibs never received. Hibs were hardly trying to cheat putting the player's name on the match card in a local derby. I think common sense would be to give the 3 points to Olympic and leave it at that.

Cruff, 250 to appeal to munster so 350 euro It has cost the club

[old git]

Sidecutter, common sense i think everybody would agree 3 point deduction and fine would be enough would be very intrested to know how many other clubs were deducted 6 points for same offence by league? As for league rules three rules currently being broken and ignored by clare league.

[Cruyff]

Sorry I was told 300, 6 points is very hefty, I'm struggling to think of any precedent to go by. Usually just 3 points

Three rules being broken?

Rule 41 no two teams from the same club can play in the same division/ rule 47 teams not fulfillin fixture to be fined 125 euro and deducted 6 points burren utd gave walkover recently in 2nd division dont see any punishement on league website / rule 97b all suspenions to be posted weekly on website check last date/ rule 100 all club team managers must have coaching qualifications so very suprised league can quote rules to clubs when handin out punishment

[old git]

Apologies suspensions have been updated on league website recently but numerous players already served bans before it was even updated???

Burren United have been thrown out of the league as per league rules. 2 walkover and your out. Kilkishen celtic played with 9 men last Sunday so as to not get kicked out of league too . It's a sad state of affairs when lads sign a form and then won't turn up for their club.

Your do realise that committee members are voluntary and might not be able to update things every week even when eagle eyes like you are watching over them .
As for rule 100 do you know.of certain coaches with no qualifications ??

Committee probably don't get match cards until late in the week. Therefore if they don't meet until following week to discuss possible suspensions then how can they be updated weekly. You should probably put yourself forward for the committee. They could obviously do with someone like you helping out 😉😉

Voluntary or not they made the rule all suspenions would be up on website weekly dont make rules if you cant honour them?? In fairness puttin suspended players up on website probally helps stamp out clubs trying to play the same players while suspended. As for teams with managers with no qualifactions plenty of them out there and should be easy enough for league to identify them.

Fair enough if burren thrown out but nothing on clare league website sayin this so you must have inside information from committe ;-) sad state of affairs from players not turning up and alot of good people involved in running clubs now punished

Agreed not fair on the people who are trying to keep clubs running. As for the inside information it was common knowledge in Ennis on Wednesday night. Very sad as a great facility out there.

What's your opinion on hibs situation with the fine and 6 point deduction.

As far as I know shield is optional to enter . The therefore the could have pulled out before 1st game. Not sure though.

I think it is extremly harsh. I know rule in place but league should look at every protest and judge on all the evidance presented. but they have set the Law now and amy other clubs will have to get same punishement. Fine and 3 point deduction would have been enough what do u think yourself

I think it was harsh . But at the same time if a player gets a straight red it very rarely results in just a 1 game ban. Maybe someone should have made a call to league as I'm sure they could have done without Jamie for Olympic game. Which the score suggests. I'd prefer to be missing him for that game than a tougher team. No disrespect to Olympic b.

I think Hibs at fault for not contactin league a quick phone call would have had it sorted, they probally thought it was like limerick league were they send out letter to club to confirm suspenions, they only brought jamie on at half time as well when 2-1 up. Very costly mistake :'(

Never heard of the shield being optional. In a lot of the rules they talk about the season. The shield is part of the season so same rules should apply. The shield is played at the start of the season to accommodate certain teams who are missing players to GAA. Moher b took no part but weren't fined or deducted points?

If optional i would have thought moher would have opted out before fixtures. Were made?
