Fair enough but would it not make more sense to open another thread headed "3rd Division Clare"???

And a thread called Second Division Clare ? And one called First Division Clare, and Premier Division Clare and Youths Clare ?....And how about threads for all the various cups that Clare teams take part in ?

Whats wrong with discussing the Third Division in this thread ? Third Division discussion is better than no discussion...which is all I can see in here

I believe the thread title is Clare League 2007-08...that, to me, suggests all aspects of the Clare League in the season 2007-08, don't you think ??

The Limerick AND Mayo league's have seperate threads for each division......

If you guys think we need different threads for the different divisions just do it.

Don't wait for someone else to take the initiative.

We don't need 4 or 5 different threads for Clare soccer..
With an average of only 6 and a half posts a day in this thread, setting up other threads would be plain stupid.

Is there some reason people don't want the lower divisions talked about ??

Just as players in the Premier Division dont give a damn about 3rd, 2nd and to a lesser extent 1st (they do want to know who is getting promoted), players in the 3rd, and 2nd Divisions couldn't care less about the teams in the Premier Division unless they get drawn against one of them in the cup.
There are as many players registered in the 3rd Division as any of the other Divisions and as this is a Clare League thread they are surely entitled to come on and discuss topics related to them and not have to view some of the rubbish that has been written over the last couple of pages.
If its Football related, regarding whatever Division it is a welcome change.

Ah lads...give it up...Your not doing anyone any favours talking about or even playing in the 3rd division.
No one cares.

It's rubbish like the above (and I could probably quote 15 or 20 of Mr Dorigo's other 46 posts for similar examples) that drags the standards of this thread down. The title of the thread is Clare League-2007-08 and that includes all 4 divisions plus the underage. (Incidentally, Shels, nobody pulls you up on your rants about youths socer etc on this thread so it's a bit Irish of you to be suggesting seperate threads for other divisions). If memory serves me correctly, this thread was initially set up by a Kilkishen member (Pauliwallnuts) a few seasons ago and was mainly contributed to by 1st division clubs (Olympic, BunrattyB Kilkishen etc). Nobody said then that it was an exclusive club so what has changed? We all pay our dues to the Clare League, we're all entitled to our opinions.

I personally wouldn't rate Cooraclare...the only two "big games" they've played are a 1-0 loss to Newmarket and a 2-2 draw with Bridge Celtic....and they were both in Cooraclare on that terrible pitch...
They may yet prove me wrong though...

We will know more about Bridge Celtic B title chances after they play Rhine this weekend. Cooraclare will be very hard to beat at home on that pitch which gives them a chance.

Fine if the conversation pertains only to issues for a particular division. However, when as is often the case, the subject is the Clare league, venues, state of pitches, referees, rules etc. surely it should be open to all. If guys want to chat solely about the premier division/soccer in Shannon (including youths) let them open a thread entitled Premier division/soccer in Shannon (including youths).

No thread for the Premier division Smellyfeet? Did I miss something? Personally, I think it's ridiculous opening seperate threads as there are so many common issues (as I pointed out earlier). What happens when people want to discuss AGMs, referees etc? I enjoy logging on and reading the banter even if it does not relate to my own club. This all started because Tony Dorigo slated a few 3rd division guys unnecessarily, guys who were posting here a long time before he decided to burden us with his "opinions". I for one will continue to contribute to the Clare League site as and when I feel like it and if he doesn't like that ... tough!!

Fair enough, but i was bored. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO PASS THE TIME.

12th man..Please delete the threads,1st,2nd'3rd. Maybe it would be a good idea to leave the others open?? as alot of talk of Footie in Shannon goes on here and the Youth & Schoolboy/girls might get a few posts and maybe bring a bit of interest as it seems to be neglected in these parts:confused:. Sorry for any hassle caused.:o

Ennistymon vs Cooraclare (Ennistymon)
Rhine Rovers vs Bridge Celtic B (Draw)

There's always the return leg....
And hopefully Newmarket can get going when they're back to full strength.
Missing quite a few regulars at the weekend, and the few that were there were played out of position...:(

great to see a team finally get punished for fielding an illegal player lifford b deducted 9 points..this after 1 of there players got banned for 9 months for catching a ref by the throat..in the news for all the bad reasons these days..
seems like the clare league are trying to make a point of punishing players as much as possible because of what happens to referees. the player in question has told me he was registered, so seems like a harsh punishment... in saying that i do not know exactly what happenend.... and the special 1 the ref was not grabbed by the throat... i think ur listening to that grapevine a little too much

how can you write a statement like that...of course the player wasn't registered or why else did lifford get punished...as for the incident wit the ref.were you there..it must have been pretty bad to say the ref reported it to the police..i know the ref and he would let alot go over his head..so it has to have been some sort of pysical assault...cowardly if you ask me..
have to agree with hacker ,this kind of abuse of refs in general has to stop.is it any wonder that there is very few new refs coming on board every season?getting out of bed on a sunday morning to put up with that crap!!personally i have respect for these lads,sure they make mistakes,we're all human,sometimes you just have to bite the lip when a decision goes against you....

AFAIK Donegal have a Senior League so that would be a higher standard that the Junior League. I fancy Newtown to go into last 32.

Hopefully big crowd aswell. Frosty will get the singing started and maybe play a few notes on the spoons.

Should be another great day in "HELL" but one of the players has an injury after Frosty discovered he could play the spoons better on his shoulder. and proceeded to perform 12 different(all sounded the same to me) compositions.
He must be some man with a bowl of cornflakes!!!:D

Next game at home 2 weeks before Christmas, Surely he'll play Composition Number#4 "Frosty The Snow Man" from his Christmas Greatest hits Album:)

For anyone that wants to make their way down to Ballycasey on the 15th-12/07 @ 2.00pm, your sure to witness a trully great show, It might not be Great Football but Frosty is the Business.

thats what he told me.. he was registered. the incident with the ref... no i ws not there. again i am going on a direct report from the player. All the same i fully agree with the suspension. You cannot lay a hand on the ref and im sure the player regrets it.
