Lifford B will get their revenge against Rineanna next year in the 1st Div!

a bit ahead of yourself as rineanna still in preimer league at the moment and would fancy them to beat mountshannon in the playoff :p

[plasticpitch]

Congrats to all the players and mentors of rineanna rovers on yer clare cup win. lets hope ye can stay in the premier!!

[plasticpitch]

In fairness to Rineanna they were easily better team yesterday and deserved their win. It must have been a close call between Jocks and Steven Kelly for Man Of The Match.

The 'sore loser' attitude came out in some of Lifford's players yesterday, ie. a Rineanna player was genuinely down injured when they were up 2-1, Lifford had the ball and when one of their players put it out he was given an amount of abuse for not playing on. Then after the final whistle about four Lifford players went to the dressing rooms and had to be coaxed into going back on the pitch for the presentation by their manager. Then to show the club's true colours, just before Rineanna were being handed the cup all of the Lifford squad went to the dressing room bar one player and the manager.

Is it true that the reason Marty O'Regan didn't play because Doora/Barefield were playing the following day in the hurling?

Thats very bad form that the players left before the presentation of the cup. lifford b are a young team and need to learn how to loose. all in good time i feel.
as for the player been injured, the referree can stop the game... the players do not have to put the ball out.
i remember we were `playing newmarket in the league decider and one of their players got injured. ball was in newmarket half when play was stopped.
when the ref dropped the ball the newmarket player kicked the ball into touch near our corner flag. i was non too pleased... but on reflection the newmarket players did what was necessary to get a result.... sporting or not

[bigguy]

I'm well aware, I’m predicting a Mountshannon win obviously.

Great coverage in the Clare People today - highly recommend a read if not for the interviews alone - Ryan is a legend

The highlight has to be Babs breaking into song shortly after Jason was presented the cup...

Stuff of legends:D

Is playoff going ahead in county grounds??? Are the Rovers sober yet???

First of all i d like to congratulate rineanna on their victory...well deserved!

Vidic class wat a load of rubbish your talking there, liffod were gracious in defeat and waited until their captain lifted the trophy and then headed for the dressing room and as for playing the ball out, they didnt have to but they did out of good sportsmanship and then rineanna knocked the ball to the corner flag when play resumed! Lifford seem to recieve an awful lot of bulls..t reports at games and the truth never seems to come out! Anyway best of luck to rineanna in their playoff and looking forward to playing wat i thought was a very good rineanna side next year in the premier!

I wasn't criticising Lifford for putting the ball out mastermind, I was saying their was no need for one of the Lifford strikers to eat the head off the player who was just being sporting by putting the ball out.

As soon as the cup was handed over to the Rineanna captain the vast majority of the Lifford squad headed to the dressing room. I saw what I saw. I will eat my hat if Mountshannon win tomorrow night although it would be funny

[b777b]

its wrong to say that we wer'nt sportsmen like after losing the cup final some of the lads are very young 18 to 22 year olds that just wanted to get out of there straight away after the pain of losing.when asked to come back out for the presentation they did so.This was just down to inexperience on there behalf,as for kicking the ball out of play it was kicked out and if some1 did eat his head off that was just 1 player and his want to win a cup final the same player would be the first to kick out the ball in any other game he just got caught up in the moment.I think to call them sore losers is wrong they sould be congraulated on a great performence and good football played that day.lastly i again want to congradulate rineanna on their cup success they were the better team on the day and were deserved winners.WELL DONE

[irish tricky]

Who's looking for a game Wednesday


I will throw the boots in the back of the car so :D

[CousinSylDolan]

Lads on behalf of rineanna rovers it was a very sporting game. No sore losers in lifford. Some of the lifford lads even came into our dressing room to congradulate us afterwards. Fair play to them for a good sporting game

Have to agree. From what I saw the Lifford B team are a credit to their club.

[Keyser Soze]

[Ice-man]

Bridge boys have 2 prem league medals each and are as good as any in their positions. I suppose Keysor, you have won it all and would be on everyones first 11??

[Keyser Soze]

2 penalties at the end saw mountshannon off

Well Done Rovers

good result for rineanna to finish of a good week for them :D congrats on securing preimer status :ball:

[MikeBassett]

Mountshannon were fairly poor but Rineanna were much the better side. How Mountshannon finished third I don't know. Their centre-half wearing 5 was a complete lunatic, how did he manage to escape gettin a yellow card? He was launchin himself into tackles left, right and centre. The red card was one of the highlights of the game.

Heard a rumour that Davy McCarthy is on his way to Rock, any truth in this mastermind1?

[CousinSylDolan]

Well done again to the Rovers on a great season.

Highlight of the game last night was the half time show provided by Planners. Very entertaining. It was like watching an episode of "Reeling in the Years":D

Thats whats in the armoury lads - its always the wannabees that have to critise :D - but to come on at 1-0 change the game completly and finish off a good performance with a well deserved goal says it all :rolleyes:- at least we'll be around next year and who knows the Rovers might be contesting the league at the top rather than scrapping for points

[Kicks]

strange having a play off mid week when there was so much at stake, would have been fairer to play it at the weekend so that there would have been more of a chance of every player being available

Just a note that both teams had to pay €70 each for the refs and linesmen - surly its the leagues responsibility to cover this cost after all they have designed the league this way

There will be alot of rumours going around over the next 2 months and who knows he could well be going there but i think davy mccarthy will be a lifford player next year! Rock will be a very good side and i think the premier will be at its strongest ever next year where any 1 of about 5 or 6 teams could win the league! First division players might get upset here but i seen alot of games this year and its a very poor league!

[Ice-man]

hey ice man must get a tip of ya for grand national next year:rolleyes:


I never back the fav!

Congrats & well deserved but ye should never have been in that position but thats soccer.

yeah looking back now it seems crazy to understand why would you place them in 4th!!

Syl - will the rats build on their success this yr and sign more players or are this years squad capable of doing what no team has done for a long time and win back to back? Is the field under development also?

ive heard that big daddy is bringing a few lads in from limerick dont know how true this is but if they keep all the players they had this season id fancy them again.

[Carotheplayer]

Yeah the field is being widened.

It appears they are digging a chunk out of the side of the hill on the right of the pitch as you come up from the dressing room.

It will probably only add bout 5-10 yards (I stand corrected on that). It can only be good for the team. The small pitch is killing them. They play passing football, and a bigger pitch will benefit them in the long run.

Should be ready for the new season in August. Ah miss it already !:p

I'm sure Big Daddy and Stef will be looking to add 2/3 players to keep things fresh but the core of the side will remain the same. Very hard task to retain the title as has been proved year in, year out.

There is some devlopment work going on in Woulfe Park but mostly on the training pitch for the moment.

2/3 players to an already good side. Should be interesting to see who Donal and Steff can tempt away from other teams. I am sure there are a few around that will be off on their annual migration to "their new club":). I wonder will nepotism be a factor in it;)
