Just saw next weeks fixtures.... What a joke! We've to travel to Liscannor again this Sunday for league game against Moher and whats worse its at 2pm this week, so our whole day is totally gone!
It could have at least been left a couple of weeks...

[Prem Rep!]

At least ye will be finished with Moher away which is always a tough game. Good win for ye yesterday. Who got you're goal?

[Murphman]

Our usual goalie Adrian Duhig got the important goal, we were short players yesterday, injuries and funerals, so Adrian played as a make shift centre forward. Tough game, Moher in fairness get the ball down and try to play and no doubt it'll be just as tough next Sunday... Hopefully we'll come away with the same result.

Murphman I,m surprised at you.You know last weeks game was a Munster Cup match and this week is a league game so its just a coincidence!!My understanding is that Michael Lydon purposely puts this game on in the afternoon because of the long travel distance involved???Thats generally felt to be the right thing to do.He just cant win!!!!

[Murphman]

I suppose theres two sides to every story, with the rain thats forecast for the next few days it'll probably be called off anyway...

Mohers pitch is fairly good though, found it very heavy last week with the grass being a bit too long, slowed both teams down alot. Well not me, cause I'm slow all the time!!:D

There were a lot of Olympic people on last year.Havent heard much this year???Where are you (ye) gone?????Good win against the Bridge??Terry Duggan and Steven Carroll signed.Rumour is that they were told they didnt need to train and didnt have to turn up if GAA was on???This coming from 2 lads who were in the u17 national cup final with Wembley a few years ago??

It seems to me that the Olympic have a blanket ban on posting on foot.ie... Not a word out of them all year. We dont even hear about their victories/scorers ect like we used to.

Terry Duggan is a damn good soccer player indeed and a shame if he has made playing against O'Curry's and the likes his number 1 sport.

His goal last Sunday in the Fai game was from the top drawer though I hear fair play to him.

Will the sparks fly in the derby game Sunday. Oly showed last week they can beat anyone when they hit form but Newtown have to be favourites...should be a good one.

Who will be chanting the songs in the Lodge Sunday???? (besides wolfe tones):D :D :D

Both teams seem to be finding some form and are evenly matched. Newtown will be missing a few regulars on Sunday but have a big enough squad to field a strong team. It will give a few lads the chance to prove a point and nail a place down. Hard result to call, should be a close game. Whoever makes the least amount of mistakes will win it,probably!

[Prem Rep!]

Goal from Duggan last week deserved to settle any game. He was Olympics best player. We were very disappointed to lose but did not take any of our chances. With regards to the Newtown training problem, we've seen it all before at the Bridge. Wouldn't be the same players, would it??? ;) ;)

[old git]

contary to your opinion shelbourne.i think lads are just getting sick of the crap posted by some people last year.and not cause we have been getting bad results.our season hasnt been great this year but its a long season yet and our last 2 wins were good plus our lads havent dropped their heads and wont either. but i'd give them 2 cup wins and the derby match on sunday away for 3 points rite now.as for your theory on the 2 lads been told just turn up.you should ask someone from olympic about the effort the 2 lads are putting in at training..on the other side of that i heard there is alot of unrest in your own camp from lads that are training and then watching lads that aren,t training just walking onto the team.which by the way i did hear from a newtown person.

hacker you will always hear rumours coming out of every team who have a big panel.. cant keep them all happy but again if players are getting games without training the other lads have a right to complain

stephen carrol / terry duggan for whatever reasons they signed for olympic im sure ye don't care they are 2 good players and will strengthen your squad ,,, plus it also adds a extra edge to local derby on sunday :p :p

[chappie]

Rumour has it that David Hickey is goin to re-sign for bridge celtic just back from australia,signin along with a young lad from Nenagh Town by the name of brian barry who is supposed to be fairly handy aswell...

its only a bit of banter dont take it personal. The 2 lads are good players but in fairness GAA is their first preference, if thats ok with Olympic then thats their problem. Newtown dont sign players who use soccer for keeping fit in the GAA close season and then disappear again once GAA starts up. The spirit in the Newtown camp has never been better and we want players who are dissapointed they are not playing. I'd question anyone who is happy to sit on the bench. I'm sure in this day and age every club has 1 or 2 players who study/work in other parts of the country, we have 2 and alternative arrangments are made for their training. Everyone else is training really well:)

[devilfish]

Sounds like sour grapes on the Stephen Carroll and Terry Duggan episode. It was a great coup for Oly to get those 2 back playing in Shannon and to a club that is open to looking after them...if every club was like that, we wouldn't be losing our best players to Limerick clubs every year. Was Stephen not playing for Newtown last year????

No sour grapes, like I said they are good players but cant commit to a full season , so they didn't sign for Newtown. The other 21 players who signed for Newtown A at the start of the season are well looked after. Just wondering what players have Olympic lost to the limerick league in the past?

Sounds like sour grapes on the Stephen Carroll and Terry Duggan episode. It was a great coup for Oly to get those 2 back playing in Shannon and to a club that is open to looking after them...if every club was like that, we wouldn't be losing our best players to Limerick clubs every year. Was Stephen not playing for Newtown last year????

There was no coup getting these 2 players back to Shannon as they both played for Newtown last year. TBH nobody at Newtown gives a monkeys fart who they play for so no sour grapes at all. At the end of the day it is Amatuer football and they are free to go where they want when they want.

Thats very true, but it's the players who cannot show loyalty to one club who will let you down in the long run. Too many nomads around in my opinion. I think this is the main reason the bite has gone out of the Clare league a bit, when it comes to the crunch these guys don't really give a crap about the club they are playing for and don't lose sleep if they win or lose. Full credit to players who have remained loyal, these are the backbones to all teams, not the yearly blow ins.

I understand where your coming from. But i left Newtown before and wouldn't call myself a nomad.

No but I've heard you called worse:D

But seriously I agree that there are a lot of nomads in the Clare league and it does seem to have taken the bite out of things. When I played you were proud to wear the jersey of your club at you did care whether you won or lost.
From my own experience I also know what it is like to fall out with your club and move on but now it seems that people are moving from clubs for no other reason as to who will accomadate them ,whether its to fit in with their GAA schedule or the fact they don't want to fight for a place on their club team.

prem rep...to answer your question is no its not the lads your thinking of...
devilfish...you hit nail on the head..
papa-j ...just wondering since when did newtown bring in this rule about lads playing gaa can't play for ye.as the 2 lads we just signed were both wit ye last year..or is it just cause they didn't sign for ye this year..my personal opinion on it is that its better have 2 quality players for 10 or 15 games a year than not have them at all and to lose them to park or shannon town.also there is plenty of players (26) wit olympic dissappointed every sunday not to be playing.but they tell there manager that they are disappointed not other teams..

No rule in the club about GAA players, I said we didn't need these players. If you get 15 games between the two of them I'll buy you a pint myself. No disrespect to the 2 lads that just how it was last year. Just wondering if these "disappointed" players from Newtown approached you or did you approach them?

''but now it seems that people are moving from clubs for no other reason''.

I think ego's play a big part in this.

Only 2 teams in clare drawn away. Should give the home teams the upper hand:) Not saying that home team will win or away team will lose but it is a small advantage.
