Sore_ toe any idea what kind of team lifford had out and how do you think they will fair in the under 21 just wondering because i think finacially it might be a big strain on the club but they do have talented players and can bring some profile to the Clare League

Just heard the HK has resigned from the Avenue Managers job.
Is this the shortest ever rein as a manager.:rolleyes:

He left Avenue before a ball was kicked. Was he pushed or did he jump?
Lot of Avenue players supposed to be leaving too.
Their main player for past few years will be signing for Lifford next season- watch this space.
Pa Wilson already signed and one or two others might be joining.

Apparently HK called a meeting and only 4 players turned up so it sounds like it was a bit of push and jump, what i mean is, players not showing up to the meeting would push any manager out and at that he jumped. Fair play to him tough, he probably thought to himself if things are like this so early on, why bother cos they would probably only get worse.
Was Pa Wilson their best player for the last few years? I know Pa is good player alright, but thats when he is on the ball. I have played against him many times and i know he can cause a few problems for the opposition but i havn't ever seen him win a tackle or a header. He wouldn't be the best worker on the pitch or even on the Avenue team IMO. He is very good going forword but i wouldn't depend on him if the team were under pressure. Maybe i'm wrong tough.

Wasnt talking about Pa Wilson - he is already signed. Another Avenue player about to sign for Lifford not as skilful as wilson but a very good defender.

avenue might actually stay together now that hugh has gone as a player i personally wasnt going playing for avenue under hugh kelly! im not his biggest fgan and this can be said for the opinion of most avenue players! no player was asked over what they would think if hugh was appointed he was just given the job regardless! hopefully we ll get a man in now that has gained respect from the avenue players! p.s no avenue defender will be joining lifford! and as for wilson good player but no heart! well suited to lifford i would think!:)

fair play townie at least ur consistent....at least there be no hard feelings towards any avenue players joining lifford... cant say the same if the roles were reversed... anyway any player with a notion of a joining a club with potential would go with lifford... new ground, league of ireland status, fantastic sponsorship, great club management.... need i go on;)

Hi PP, just wondering what is the arrangement with eligibility for U21 players playing junior football. Ye had a very young team last year are many of that squad playing with the U21's so far. Great to see a Clare club playing at that level.
As for HK, as far as I remember he has managed Avenue, Bridge, Bunratty and I hear next stop is Newmarket.

Didn't he win league with Avenue & The Bridge.
Only Manager in Clare to win National honours aswell.
His record is great and MAYBE he could do same
for Newmarket

Didn't win league at the bridge but brought us on a good FAI Cup run while we were in the First division. We were promoted the same year but did not win the league. He had a great first season with us but perhaps lost interest the following year or just couldn't give the commitment that was required. He will do a good job if he can give the time required as he is pretty well respected but his biggest downfall is that he won't ask for help when he needs it and therefore makes decisions based on limited information.

Sorry, i stand corrected.
Still, i don't really under stand why any of the Avenue players wouldn't want
him to be their Manager tough.They should look back a few years ago and see what Avenue won when he was manager. I don't think there is anyone that gets close to his record.

While HK might me right for Newmarket is newmarket right for HK, think he would
need someone of influence with the players like Pakie Ryan or Kieran Collins to help him out.Newmarket haven't won the league in 10 years and the manager at that time Derek Douglas found it difficult in the beginning but persisted and reaped his rewards.there is no doubt newmarket have the players just lack a little leadership on the sideline

What influence does Pakie Ryan and Kieran Collins have with the players in Newmarket. Your answer should be interesting;)

as far as i know they are all eligible to play junior.
there are some excellent young players coming through... gary macnaboe 17 and niall white 16 are two that stick out for me.
its great to see clare represented at u21 level... i think it would be nice that the best players in the county could play and then return to their clubs. it would be better for clare soccer if this happened

well according to some on this thread lifford is practically a professional club as there are players ,management getting paid:rolleyes:
The new ground is located out the same road as the Lees Road. go past drumcliffe cemetery and its about a quarter mile on you right. there are 2 big iron gates there...most premier teams now will have decent pitches so here s to the standard improving allround:ball:

The decision would be totally down to the Clare leagues interpretation ...with one exception that in my opinion cannot be overriden under any circumstances..........a player cannot sign for 2 clubs!!!That is why the other leagues entered Cleague representative teams not club teams.

well for one these two have influenced a lot of players in newmarket i.e O Malley and Lawlor return, they have great communication skills with the players and get them motivated,Pakie Ryan has the drive to succeed while Collie has the experience Fai cup winner, league and cup medals so knows how to win, maybe this is me saying this should be the newmarket management for the upcoming season

First game for the bridge and I don't think we will have much of a squad to be honest. Most of the experienced lads caught away or caught up in GAA. Should be a young enough side out

id say most teams will be understrength for the start of season. the football/hurling championships are only kicking off again now. hopefully the clare league will play some mickey mouse shield first then get the league started a few weeks later...

That would be a good idea....
I'd say most if not all teams have players playing GAA.
