Clare League 2006/07

[CmonTheRovers]

sorry bout not replying bout the game, even enough in frirt half to be honest avenue went 1 up but a soft goal mix up between centr half an keeper allowed consie tap it in from 6 inches
sencond half avenue had more of the ball but were were prone to being caught on a few break aways, rineanna were happy to soak up the pressure, but their fitness(lack of) told in teh end as avenue finished very strong attacking at will as rovers defended their penalty box for a finsih, 2 mins into injury time russell lobbed the keeper( who had had a sound game, good hands good kick outs), deserved 3 points i though but heart break for rovers. if only they can fight like that against moher but i doubt it. as alex ferguson said once when they drew 1-1 v west ham an hammers had niothing to paly for,, their efforts were obscene. looked like rovers only wanted avenue not to win..

first off, the 'soft goal' mix up describes the first goal Avenue scored.

secondly, the Rovers goal came from a great defense splitting ball from midfield to Consie at the edge of the box, who flicked it past the outcoming keeper & then tapped it in from 6 inches to make it sure it got there!!!

Russell scored the winner with 2 mins left, keeper should have never been lobbed but it was just one of those looping efforts that seem to come off the rare time. Keeper played very well apart from that. THEN it was Avenue defending like crazy, we had an injury time effort to get a draw but it went wide, 3 points was always the objecive.

RE MOHER; they have lost two games out of 14 (see below)

There are some shield finals still to be played too.

oh right....what determines who's in the shields?are they from before the start of the league season

[CousinSylDolan]

oh right....what determines who's in the shields?are they from before the start of the league season

Shields are played at the start of the season except for the Premier lg who start with lg games. Not sure about 2nd and 3rd divisions but Bunratty are to play Burren in the 1st division shield final. Premier shield will probably just be a straight knockout competition like the divisional cups in Limerick.

Results from last night....

1st
Rock Rovers 0-3 Bunratty

2nd
Lifford B 3-1 Newmarket B (I think)

3rd
Rhine Rovers 4-3 Newtown B

Cousin Syl, should that be Ennistymon 3-1 Newmarket B, that was the fixture down anyway.

Do you know where to get accurate league tables. I presume the tables in the Champion are provided by Lydon, ya?

I noticed that in the fixtures but from what I saw in Lee's rd it was Lifford. Could be wrong though.

Tables in the Clare People are the nearest to correct I think. They were in last Tuesday's paper.

[avenueC]

obviously u were playing then, i was watching.easier to comment on a game seein it on the line an not running around .... bit biased but not to worry,,
yer man consie didnt touch the ball till it was on the line , it ran straite thru from inside yer half from kelly hanoo an centre back mix up straite thru em..
any way game over, 3 points. were 2nd i belive at the moment even if the clare people dont include us in the league at the moment..

might be easier to watch a game when not playing in it, but that doesn't stop me commenting on the game:p ..... But i will say that if a neutral was watching it, it would have been an entertaining game to look at, or would you disagree? Still doesn't ease the hurt of losing a close match though!:(

Re Consie's goal, he did get a touch. It was deft BUT was required to get it past d keeper. not sure where on the Avenue sideline you were, but it must not have been evident from there. To look at it defensively, keeper should not have come out so far, but offensively, it was a well taken goal.

Avenue currently 3rd in league, according to clareleague.com & a2zsoccer.com

The only thing up to date on A2z is the premier.They are behind on everything else and havent even registred the 17s league and if Newtown beat Corofin in Shannon tonight they win it!!!!!

[Sweetchips]

I agree with you Shels, does anyone know who Lydon provides tables too, if anyone at all? I think the Clare People could be keeping its own tables for the lower divisions.

maybe so, but when we beat ye and win our game in hand we'll still be a point ahead of Avenue;)

Townie,
I take it from your last 10 post's you have a bit of hate for Newtown.
Are you really that bitter or is it just a bit of craic.

[shelbourne1904]

Congratulations to newtown 17s for winning the league yesterday,talented young team and all goin for youths next season again fare play to the lads.:ball:

But bwait for it.This same team has just been handed a decision that relates to a walkover in the 17s cup.They have been dumped out of the cup as a result!!!!
You might remember that the absolute neccessity of playing on Saint Patricks Day resulted in this team not being able to field because most of them were going to parades.

So the conclusion is
We must play matches on St Patricks Day.
Does anyone know why??

But it is ok to suspend the premier league because of Oscar Traynor

I would like to thank the Clare League for this enlightened and wise decision.This is great encouragement to kids to stay in the game.

I thought this decision was overturned Shels? So are the Newtown U17s definately out of the cup? Pity as i'm sure yee beat the same opposition 7-0 not too long ago......

you must have some crystal ball to match that big pair of blinkers you are wearing:eek: I wont try to explain that the posts about Newtown winning trophies were not made by Newtown players/managment, cause its obvious that explaining anything to you would take a lot longer than I have the time for. And I wont call you an anti Newtown and bitter cause thats obvious too;)

[townie]

im actually not one bit anti newtown and il go as far as to say they are one of the top 3 footballin sides in clare! but it just gets annoyin when everyone on this thread is constantly going on about them surely gonna win the league when there still 6 games left! they are in the smae position most years true or false? and nothin ever becomes of it!! i think that if they got a bit more physical and stopped there moaning on the pitch that they would be winnin leagues for fun! i dunno though thats just my opinion! in fairness ye could prove me wrong and win it this year ;)

everyone is entitled to their own opinions thats why it is a forum thread,, as papa-j & other's have said numerous times it was never nobody from newtown going on about winning leagues.. i think newtown have lost their chance of winning league after last couple of results & may even miss out on cup as well as team seems to be out of form at the moment.. but again thats my opinion :ball: :ball:

But if you read back tru the post's,nobody from Newtown said that they would win the League,Just conversation about football in general is all and a few match reports.

[Wayne's World]

Cup Quarter Finals been held ths weekend, will there be any upsets ?

I'll predict that

Newmarket, Mountshannon, Newtown and Avenue for the semi finals.

Rineanna have home advantage over Avenue so I think that it might be close but Avenue are in good form at the moment.

Newmarket and Newtown should be too strong for the two B teams.

Home advantage could be the key for Mountshannon against Moher.

Anyone else think any different?

Avenue - Rineanna match has been posponed to a later date. Not sure exactly why, but must be OT/CL driven. Are the other quarters going ahead or not?

Ya, Oscar Traynor play on Saturday but players are expected to play Sunday
for their club.

I hear the team bus leave's for Dublin at around 9.00am Saturday morning, Game isn't kicking off till 4.00pm. 7 hours before kick off:eek: They will probably get home at 10/11 that night and then the league expects them to play 1/4 final cup game for their club next day. Very nice way to repay players/clubs for their co-opperation with the cancelled games which was to help the OT players keep injury free. Its funny at this stage imo.:D

dont under estimate them, I'm sure they have a few more SURPRISES in store for us yet:D I think they get together and decide what the best course of action is...and then for the laugh they do the opposite:confused:

[smellyfeet]

It just goe's to show that whoever is making these decisions don't care about teams but only Oscar Traynor. Now, i have no problem with Clare League really making a go at winning This competition, i think its great really, but,to call off games before the Clare v AFL match and then have club fixture next day shows alot of disrespect to the Clare league clubs. Rememver, without the clubs there is no Oscar.

Bad form from the clare lge to expect players to play in cup games on sunday who are involved in Dublin on sat..lack of thought i think..prob be about 10/11 when they get home from dub..then u have to factor in the possibility of a few 7 ups in the queens also...!!!

CLARE 1 AFL DUBLIN 6



Any match report where Clare that bad or was it the astro turf pitch.

[gaffer]

Every year Moher seem to request matches on Mondays and Fridays evenings because of GAA games. It also suits the Clare league cos there is a shortage of refs. You cant blame Moher for requesting games when it suits them.
If the fixture doesnt suit your club then im sure you can request it to be played on Sunday or another evening. In fairness too far away from Shannon for an evening game at 6.30.


We requested a free weekend but were not given it had to travel to Moher reason we were given by the clare lge was there was an official ref down for the match and could not reschedule. Got down to Moher and Moher manager was the ref. Lyden just laughed when we question this. Any other club allowed to do this.
