Easy there hold up.. well stop the clowns that support you lot talking rubbish about being able to beat anyone. Davey is the only player out of all your squad with a bit of experience when it comes to a national competition and in my opinion the on one capable of commenting (read the previous comments) on where ye stand don't start talking ****e about Oscar Traynor either..

If i'm correct Park had a good run in the FAI couple of years back.
I'm sure a few of them beleived that they could win it as they did well up until they were knocked out.

I'd love to see you come down to a game and call the supporters clowns to their face's. They are great supporters and even Tralee Dyn players said so after the game so just **** off back to div 1a thread.

I am ya. Hold on a second!! How many times did ye try to get into the limerick so don't be talking balls... Who said the players are happy! Do you know them personally? If you do I'd suggest you have a good talk with them... Agree with your bit of luck thing because I believe you make your own.. I'm not saying bout getting things right I meant ye will end up like us if you don't look after the young lads, who's going to pick up the pieces when they all decide they want to go home?eg Fairview

i am not involved with newtown so i do not know how many times they tried to get into limeick .. i agree with you the young lads if there good enough bring them through within reason .. u still need a few old heads as well ... but as i said managers deceide who they pick so what me & you have to say will not really matter .. can u also honestly say that the limerick league is that good.. it is a better standard than clare but i will add that they only have about 3-4 good teams also .. :p

Look you obviously have an issue with newtown. Are you the player that you mentioned earlier that was "forced out". Your issue should be with that manager and not with the club. Alright Paddy!:D

why dont you tell everyone...i'm sure the 3 lads from the bridge were approached by someone of did they just guess that they would be wanted..

it amazes me how some people are so narrow minded about things every club trys to strenghten their team.(including newtown)..and if players want to sign for them why not let them..the fact that they think about it means there not happy at there club and just want to play ball..or maybe youv'e got blinkers on cause you know your buddy's won't ever drop you..

Hacker i can clear up how Anto Whyte signed for Newtown. He actualy rang my phone No. and asked me when training was on and i told him. Greg is a mate of Anto's and couldn't commit to training with the Bridge so he followed.
Trevor i cannot answer that one but maybe it would have something to do with 2 ex Bridge players at Newtown already.:rolleyes:

If they want to sign thats fine but I wonder how a player can be signed on the premise of being guaranteed a start. Before you ask one of these players told me this himself.

Your final comment is laughable if I dont train or dont play well them I'm dropped just like every one else. Maybe I'm in the team on merit, ever consider that? Dont be talking sh1te

fair enough smellyfeet but i'm not going to come on here and have papa-j make comments about me poaching players..the lads left the bridge cause they weren't happy and newtown gratefully took them on board..if a player from a different club tells me he mite want to sign for me and i think he's good enough then ya why wouldn't i try sign him..even if it upsets poor papa-j

Listen hacker, I have no problem with you. Fair enough if a player approaches
you but if you approach a player then thats poaching. I didn't say you poached anyone, my comments were open ended. Dont make this personal
because its only banter.

I understand what your on about and 1 of the players you have been talking to is close to me so i know what the story is.

Thing is tough you better play him or else:D

while you are still in the competition you have to believe that you have a chance of winning it. otherwise why would you bother to turn up.
A good number of years ago newtown had a good run in the fai also. Once you are into the open stage of the fai you can get very lucky with the teams you draw. Park know this as they got a luck run and then beat a good team from kilkenny. Should have beaten waterford in the semi but did not do enough on the day.

anyway well done newtown , it is good to see a shannon team doing well. The only thing i don't like is the fact that there are 4 clubs in shannon. Imagine one club, with the best possible players from the town what a team/squad you would have. as there are a lot of very good players in shannon , might even realistically challenge for one of the major honours !

why is asking a player to sign for you classed as poaching ? Surely it isa free world ?

must congadulate your supporters yesterday..great to see lads out there singing and supporting there club..but what was wit the signs welcome to hell..

We played against Killarney Athlethic around Holloween time and there was a few fireworks set off during the game. At half time the 2 teams were going into the dressing room and someone shouted out "welcome to hell". A bit like Galatasery.:D

They also had a sign with " john 3:16".

Maybe I'm wrong but approaching a player midseason who is already signed with another club is generally deeemed as "poaching"
Not that hacker was poaching or anything like that. We have already cleared that up:D
Hacker, just a note on an earlier post about GAA players. My post was specifically about the two lads in question and not GAA players in general.
They made is clear to everyone that GAA was their first choice and would always come first over the soccer. I think its fair to say that the 2 lads you speak about at Newtown are fully committed to our team this season. Thats the difference.

Bunratty vs Hermitage was played in Rineanna. Hermitage were missing 14 A team players supposedly.. Still its Bunratty's 1st game in a few weeks and it was good to get a game before next Sunday...

Burren lost 3-1 at home to Newcastlewest and Newmarket lost 3-0 away to Abbeyfeale in the Fai.

Leaves Newtown as the only Clare team in the last 64 draw tomorrow evening.

Take your tongue out of there arse will ya.. Check out the odds in paddy powers and you will soon see who's who. If you talked to Davey Wall he'd tell you where you stand in the grand scheme of things. We all want to see them do well don't forget I'm from Shannon i like to see Shannon teams win. But Tralee dynamos a really good side. Open your eyes let the light in because you my friend are blind.... Are you trying to compare Newtown to the big sides? :DDon't make me laugh...

No i am not trying to compare Newtown to any side big or otherwise. All i said was they have what it takes to and i quote " beat teams that are better than them" and yes IMO Tralee are a very good side. I dont think for a second that Newtown can win this competition but if they get 1 or 2 more big scalps that would be great for clare soccer and shannon. And at home they are def capable of taking scalps. Will need to improve massively but your forgetting 2 experienced starting 11 were missing from sunday more notibly Davy Wall so them coming back will help. In relation to Tralee Dynamos who did u think was going to win????? My guess was Tralee, so wrong again my friend:D And as for the Oscar Traynor thing and the so called shannon loyalty:rolleyes: ...... your refering to I hope Clare stuff Limerick

not going to get into a big long debate about it again but i'm sure if you asked your 2 players what there preference is you'd be suprised by the answers...ye should get young chippy a newtown bag as his wolfe tones one looked a bit lonely on its own yesterday..

we will have to agree to disagree on our opinions on this one..[/QUOTE]

well they have both been training and togged on a sunday. They played on Sunday and on the sunday before that and on the sunday before that and so on... so as far as I'm concerned that qualifies as committed to our team. I couldn't care less if Chippy arrived with his boots in a handbag..so long as he keeps banging in the goals and we keep getting results.

Newtown, who in their right mind would want to kick a ball for them:D :D :D
Let alone support them.

as per earlier posts it seems they have a lot of players who want to kick ball for them .... and fair play to their supporters who take the time to go down and support them it must lift the team on the day .

The supporters are brilliant and they have helped inject life into the team when he chips were down. The players hope that we can give them another few days out. Preferably at home but I'm sure the lads will travel in numbers if we get an away draw.

Rd 1 Bunratty (a)
Rd 2 Lissellton (h)
Rd 3 Killarney Athletic (h)
Rd 4 Tralee Dynamoes (h)

Will ye be looking for an away trip next to bring that vocal support ye have or would ye prefer to stick with Ballcasey for Rd 5.

Gues what home to St James Gate!!!!!!Start praticing the singing again.Used to be a League of Ireland team.Formed by Guinness for employess,maybe a mile or two from Inchicore!!Does that ring any bells.I think they were formed C.1920.
Come on the Nordies!!!!

How short your memory is!!! Is it not just a few years ago Brennie was helping Newtown to a double is that how you lot treat your former players. Werent Newtown relegated back a few years ago. Only to have the kids haul you up a division. Then you were a club in bits after donal magee left you in an awful mess. Only for the legendary Jimmy Rocks to pull you through the ****e auld days. Who by the the initiated the emalgamation talk.. Now park were arragant not to accept. In jimmy's favour he is dead right there is room for only one team in Shannon!!!

Are you hoping for a starting place Shels... I see you have been putting in the hours on the training field.:D A game against the Dubs and your back like a 19 year old again.

Best of luck to ye anyway. Any word on St James Gate????? They are probably a Leinster Senior Lg club. I remember them in the LOI alright.

They might bring a few kegs down from Inchicore to put behind the bar in the Lodge after the game.... Then there would be singing win, lose or draw.
