Football in Shannon

[Brazil Nut]

like most people in shannon he has played with a few clubs , but came up with the shannon town schoolboys. he played in town with hill celtic also....

Also played with Bunratty, quality player though with a class football brain, always a step ahead. Pity he's struggled with a lot of injuries over the years....

Newtown B

[papa-j]

Newtown B

played a game or 2 for the A Team aswell. One of the better players in Shannon over the last 10 years. Good passer, skillfull and aggressive too.
Would get on any team at his best.

[brutus]

How many games have park left in the league and whats there chances of survivng??

[rocksalot]

they have a small chance

[rocksalot]

they can still catch coonagh

[see's it]

they can still catch coonagh

catching coonagh is no good to them they are going down aswell

[old git]

catching coonagh is no good to them they are going down aswell


how many get relageted >> is it 2 teams

[rocksalot]

yes u r right seesit my mistake they need to catch hill celtic but it looks doubtful they have played 2 games more than them and have less points. it looks like park and coonagh look doomed unless they put a really good run together

[rocksalot]

yes it is 2 teams that get relegated old git

Could we not change this thread to
"Will Park stay up or not"
Because there is a lot more than that going on in Shannon, like :
Will Newtown win the double????

Sure isnt that a given now back to Park god bless us:)

[shelbourne1904]

Seriously though.Did Park loose to Coonagh and is it nearly down and out now????

[larrywhite]

Coonagh won 2-0. Not having a keeper cost them dearly. One goal was direct from a corner and the other was direct from a free kick a fair bit out.

Only 6 games remaining, yesterday was a must win, and we couldnt pull if off. Missing Gunner and Kieran was a big loss,stand in keeper didnt help also, but i still felt we were doing enough to win but couldnt score and two goals from set pieces was a killer,so we wont give up the ghost just yet but its looking ominous.:(

What are the chances of shannon doing ye a "favour" tommorow night? :)

[papa-j]

I'd say no chance. Town have their eye on a chance at promotion plus Park and Shannon Town have never done each other "favours" too much rivalry there.

Didnt realise that shannon were still in with a chance of promotion. Fair play to them.

Ah I was only joking about favours being done. I know there is a healthy rivalry between the two.

Tomorrow night could be a very good game so.

[CousinSylDolan]

What time is kick-off tomorrow night????

[riverside]

What time is kick-off tomorrow night????

6.30 for Park and 7.30 Shannon Town:p

We wont need any favours just alot of luck.

[Lev Yashin]

well after out result on sunday we are just out to get our confidence back...there will defo not be any favours...i mean the history is there between the clubs and that would be enough to spur anyone on but with the respective positions of the clubs there is no excuse for anything barr 100%

[shelbourne1904]

6.30 for Park and 7.30 Shannon Town:p

Both on the same PITCH!!!!!!

[Side Cutter]

Both on the same PITCH!!!!!!

0-0 by the time shannon town take to the field!

[parkfan]

We wont need any favours just alot of luck.

Luck Riverside!! We haven't had any all year. On sunday to concede direct from a corner like that even the Coonagh players were laughing, even at they're second goal!! You make your own luck and the team that deserves it gets it. If we deseved to win sunday we would have got it and that games was as painful to watch as it was to play in I assure you.

[Offside]

Lads i'm off to Australia for a month or so, don't know if i'll be in contact with the internet at all but just to say best of luck to Olympic and Park on there quest to beat the drop and i hope Shannon Town can get promoted. Not forgetting Newtowns double chances, hopefully when i've returned they'll be in a cup final and pushing for the league.:ball:

[riverside]

The over 40s is on in Limerick in June, i would appreciate it if you could muster up a few of the eligable Newtown lads to take part this season. Its the 25th anniversary this year and its about time we put in a fair effort from all of the clubs and had a good hop off it, and also raise a few bob for the very worthy causes involved. The team is entered as Riverside, Park, Shannon, the Riverside comes from the original club from Limerick which no longer exists except for this competition.

[see's it]

whats the link between shannon and the original riverside.i think riverside were based around the thomandgate area

[riverside]

Correct, Niall Fitzgerald was the founder now one of the wealthiest men in the UK. The connection is Tony Kelly from Shannon Town and two brothers from Park all played with them as youngsters.

16th and 17 th june but its a knockout competition so you could be gone after the first game. Its on in the Boro club, and Kenny Brady Tony Kelly and Webby look after things and generally if we are beaten we just go on the lash and have a laugh and talk about how good we all were once upon a time.:)

[First]

Is the Park , Shannon Town game on at 6.30 or 7.30

One of the worst games I think I have ever seen in junior football and I have seen some bad ones.

[brutus]

One of the worst games I think I have ever seen in junior football and I have seen some bad ones.

I wouldnt say it was that bad,very dirty game but always is when they play,ger kelly scored a cracker,keano could have had his team the 3 points after missing a few great chances,3 players sent off,filthy tackles all over the pitch.

[W.R.F.C]

who was sent off, any shannon lads

[First]

Ger's goal was a cracker , Keano should have had a hat-trick, still doesn't change the fact that there wasn't 3 passes put together in the whole game.
Everything other than the bad tackles was done by accident rather than design. Did any of these players ever get coaching when they were younger?
God help us ,even if you were only watching football on TV you would cop the fact its about passing and movement . All I saw last night was kick and hope.
But sadly there isn't much hope for football in Shannon if this is the way its going to be played.

All this is just an opinion on what I saw last night and not a direct attack at any one.

[ParkLife]

Game was a shambles, ref didn't help matters by blowing for everything.Talk about card happy.John fla sent off for town,Richie Murphy and Gavin O Donnell sent off for Park.O donnell had been on the pitch about 10 mins.Strikers made the difference,Ger kelly two good goals,Keano missed/wasted chances.I think that sums up Parks season.

[see's it]

who is this midfield maestro you speak of?

[parkfan]

How could you expect good football to be played in them circumstances. The ref lost complete control. He bottled the big decision early in the first half. Whenever anyone got the ball there was about 4 players trying to take your leg off. Someone could have got seriouly hurt last night. I don't like having a go at refs but they get paid to do a job and protect the players on the field.

so no favours done by anybody then:D these games are all about winning and football is normally secondary. Where does this leave both teams chances
of survival / promotion

Shannon Tn will stay in 1A and Park will go to 1B

got it in one..there was very little if any football played as a football team you play to your strengths if that means hitting a striker with the ball every chance you get then so be it to get a result...i dont think its fair to say that shannon town were the main culprits both teams were kicking as much as the other. the referee has it in for us from a different game where he treatened to hit one of our players...that said to say he lost control is a bit harsh...it seems to take the blame away from the players who were more interested in kicking one another than actually playing football. there was definatly no outstanding player on the field but i will say something...its very harsh to say shannon football has no future on the basis of that game in all honesty shannontown park rangers games are never good games NEVER. you play to win and that is regardless of how its done :D

[Lev Yashin]

[/U][/B]

You do play to strengths granted but without Gerry Kelly last night Shannon Town would not have won, that in my opinion is a fact. When a two foot tackle from behind with no intention of going for the ball and a tackle that was completely over the top with no ball anywhere near are exceptable means of victory to you then I'm affraid to say that is a sad case for soccer in general. Your side gave away about 30 free kicks. If the Park strickers had any balls then it would have been reflected in the scoreline. Also another little thing I over heard one of your players slagging the Park players saying they are going to 1B in my honest opinion that fella deserved a good slap I felt like going after him myself. Fair is fair now respect between players should not be taken for granted and that Shannonman shows a complete lack of respect to the opposition seeing as Shannon town nearly ended up in 1B themselves not so long ago...

we were in 1b a few years ago and i cant speak for the other lads and if one of them said he hopes park go down well that his opinion and not neccessarly the rest of team or the club. Ya we did give away alot of free kicks and beleive me we weren't happy about the number of stupid free kicks we did concede but that happens. Look im not going to defend the way we played..we adapted to the way the game developed i mean tony mac in the centre of midfield played the game to constantly kick evan glynn...why?? cause he knew it would get to evan...shane macarty tries to pick a fight with his own brother...i mean surely thats indicative of the way the game was played by both teams. We came down to a level we feel we are better than but as i already said we adapted to do what we had to to win.

Fergal wanted to take home a Park jersey the way he was pulling out of people.There aint nothing better than a physical match but some of the tackles put in mostly on your behalf were terrible, are you saying you condone the way your side went about playing. What do you mean came down a level?. Your side had 3 shots the whole game thats all surely if your that good ye can win by playing football. If thats the way you like to win football matches thats just sad. The lad in question didnt say he hoped we go down he insulted the whole club and showed his intelligence which is something he obviously lacks.

[old git]

What about packie d'arcy all he did was kick people all day.

3 shots the whole game ... but they all counted .. park missed their chances ... in fairness both teams did plenty of kicking & pulling
insulted the whole club ,,, my god he must have really said something bad .. you seem to forget keano's kick at ger kelly in second half right in front of referee which he got away with .. to which a park rangers supporter on the line shouted if your going to go keano make sure it is worth it.. :ball: :ball:
