how good do ye want it to be,the players playing in clubs in shannon are all playing standard football,2 teams in clare prem and 2 teams in limerick 1A,1A is even tougher than the clare prem,there shouldnt be a problem getting a decent side,the only problem is who would look after it..:ball:

Now as i said below - You know absaloutley nothing about the clare league kid! So you might aswell start adding comments in the 1B thread because thats where you'll be playin ball next year kid!

park(quirkey,shane mccarthy,locks,hedgey)
shannon town(ger kelly,griffin,the other lad who left park,strong midfielder,pogger carew)
newtown(derek burn,tom o hare,cheeky,ryan kelly,
olympic(john ryan,j-regan,jimmy houligan,terry duggan)

there is just a run off of a few stronger players at each club,many good other players i havent mentioned..

are you serious about this one or just takng the p!ss....no offence to pogger but he would openly admit he is not one of the best 4 players at the club!!he plays witht he b team.

he is a great keeper but he is not as good as whelers for bunratty young lad,deep down u know yourself...:D

Wheelers in my opinion is better than skinny but
Do you really think skinny is a "great keeper"? Hes half decent at very most. (imo)
who are you comparing him to?
Wouldnt put great in the same sentance as any keeper in Clare.

Have to agree that Wheeler's in my opinion is a better keeper than Skinny, both have good defences in front of them to hide whatever weaknesses are there.
If your talking about best keepers there are a few good ones outside the Shannon area. The Hermitage keeper springs to mind straight away, as does that foreign lad that plays with Bridge Celtic.
Just a point on an earlier thread, not all the best players in Clare were picked for the Oscar Treaynor Panel for one reason or another. Eddie went with the panel that could give him the commitment needed, needless to say, not all players could give that commitment.

Brutus, based on the four players you selected from shannon olympic, I have to ask the question, have you ever actually seen them play??? Or just repeating something you heard in the pub......

Lads it is a bit strange that Noel Donnellan hasn't been mentioned in this along with Jason Stretton. They have been rock solid this year for Newtown. Noel hasn't put a foot wrong all year and is Probably the reason Newtown are doing so well.Jason has done great stuff aswell but he can only do so much as Noel seems to leave him with little or nothing to do. Speaking to a few of Newtown apponents and they reckon the to lads are the best center half/ sweepers they have played against.

Have to agree, easily the best centre half pairing around. Are newtown worried that next yr they might loose their best asset, their defence??? surely b team football is calling for the old heads. Not having having a go at age (as they are playing very well) but cant play at the top forever!!

old heads alright but by performances this season don't see any reason why they will want to stop playing next year .. plenty of bite / heart left in both jason & noel to see in a few more seasons with newtown .. :ball:

is there a better man for the job does anyone have any opinion on this.

Best man for the job would be Jimmy Rocks. Whatever you dont learn from him wouldnt be worth knowing.

Seems to be doing an ok job this year.
Any, theres no point in trying to teach fella's something if they are not willing to learn,in one ear and out the other. Especialy when they know everything there is to know about the game;)

Parkfan, any chance of some punctuation or even a few capital letters at the start of each sentence?

In my opinion, and its only an opinion, you couldn't pick a best 4 from Olympic without including Kelly, Fogarty(last sundays match excepted) & B O'Connor. I'd go for John Ryan to make up that 4 for consistency of performance. Jimmy is a class player, one of the best around on his day, but not consistent. Jay Reagan, good, but again inconsistent. I've picked my players based on influence on the outcome of the match, not skill. Obviously, there's be no place for Fogarty if I had.............:D :D

Your a bit out of date. Jay is playing at Central Defence.Great stuff i might add.
He did play with Shannon Town at youths and was a great player for them from what i have heard. He also played with them in the Premier in Limerick
but i don't know about not succeeding.What was he meant to achieve.:confused:

theres alot of players out there always wanting to learn more,but a good percentage of the managers or coaches just arent goods enough and that why i think people are always posting saying theres a lack of quality in shannon..my opinion is if you want to coach a team go get your badges first then come back to the club,how many managers or trainers in shannon at this moment looking after teams have badges?

Maybe but hasnt looked that way. seems behind the rest of the team if anything?
John is a good athlete and ive no doubt he has been good in the past but this year he hasnt really been up to it.
As just1 said hes works most sundays and rushing from work to play a match isnt the best preperation. Just needs to get his head in the game. (imo)

These days seems to have a majority of young players of under 25 who are still looking to reach their full potential,where as 10-15 years ago it was the opposite. Most teams were full of experienced players with only one or two young lads in the team. I suppose its down to the lifestyle changes over the past 15 years where priorities have changed.[/QUOTE]

One thing noone has commented on is the fact that none I repeat none of Newtowns youths team are getting anywhere near the Ateam this year!!!

Simple question..Do you not think Gary Leahy's good enough to be on Newtowns A team panel if not the team...?
I certainly do...[/QUOTE]

I wouldnt put Gary Leahy as a sub for the B team. hes a good player but he knows it all. wouldnt listen to a word anyone would have to say. Players like that are no good to any team. thats whats wrong with this years Newtown youths team. There all superstars in their own heads with exceptions for only a few.
