Clare League Season 2008/09

So if he was not suspended then why put someone elses name on the matchcard. this is an offence in itself

[CousinSylDolan]

"If a player gets sent off in a match it's an automatic one match ban with no exceptions."

Don't think thats what it means Sly.
We had a B team player who was sent off in a B team game. Last weekend he was allowed to play FAI with us (even though he didn't get a game) but not the league game for the B team.
I clarified this with the league last week.

Good stuff... All is fine then. I just get more and more confused by these suspension rules every year...In my eyes they change from week to week.

[chappie]

I presume that the lower division matches will be called off if the wet weather continues?....

Maybe lazylegs it was a genuine mistake. Maybe the reporter just knew the first name and presumed it was the great Mickey Burns that was playing up front.:o

the lads who take the pictures write down the numbers of the players in them and then get the matchcard, and theres no way that two papers were wrong

[avenueC]

putting things in perspective, even the big papers get names in pictures wrong
one small example would be a picture of cristiano ronaldo ( a fairly recognisable chap playing for a fairly well known club) and the caption under it saying ryan giggs wins the ball..

wasnt there a big furore last season bout a lifford player in a similair situation, sent off in one clare cup game i think( i stand to be corrected) but could play the next league game cos they lost that cup game..

put the issus to bed guys and try to not let the bad mindedness and bitterness towards avenue surface, cos im sure some of ye would be thinking in the back of yer minds that it woud be great to punish them,and im sure some of ye have already reported back to yer clubs hoping that they will follow it up

[CousinSylDolan]

All tomorrows games are called off except the Bridge Celtic FAI game.

Best of luck to all for the weekend trip to Donegal. From what i hear I think Brendan Rochford sustained a bad injury lately and wont be fit to play. I think its a good squad with a good mix of youth and experience though. Good luck;

[club-divided]

Anyone b able to tell me where Corofins pitch is in Ruan??Playing their B team Sunday there.

hopefully corofin will be available by sunday. we will inform ye saturday regardless. the pitch in ruan is where avenue used to play a few years back if you remember? go straight thru ruan coming from ennis side and its outside the village about 1mile on right hand side, its on a bend you cant miss it.

[studsup]

not a bad squad and best of luck to them saturday..

but saying that out of interest who picks the squad..i'm asking because there is a few lads not in squad that should be..and1 or 2 in my opinion that shouldn't be in it..

just wondering do ye think there is anyone not in squad that should be..

here's a few i taught of..
mickey mahoney(avenue) mike hoey(moher)trevor maxwell(bridge utd)g deegan(bridge utd) g flynn(avenue)d aherne(bridge cel)d cullinan(newmarket)jocks(rineanna)m devitt(bunratty)

maybe these lads were asked but couldn't commit but surely should have been asked..:ball:

have to say i wouldn't have either of the 2 bridge lads now in fairness, some surprising ommissions alright

[ILuvFootie]

Thanks Club-Divided.What happened to the other pitch in Corofin??Hacker would you not be disappointed Jay Hannam didnt get a call to d Oscar Traynors.He's good enough for it.

[CousinSylDolan]

As far as I know Jim Madden picked the squad as no manager was in place early in the season. The managment have since added a few players.

Best of luck to them. Long trip to Donegal in fairness. Anyone know if its an overnight stay or up and down on Saturday.

bugger of a journey up & down in 1 day plus match :ball:.. hope they have a few refreshments on bus for players for journey home :D

[Planners]

Q - how can the "management team" leave out the likes of Pa Fahy / Eoin Hayes / Seamus Lawlor / Stephen Kelly / Ger O Connell / Roberto { lifford } Garoid O Connell - along with the others - what happened to the trials , fair chance to everyone - some clubs seem to get the extra players depending on who the manager is - i.e Bunratty 6 players ??

In saying the above I'm sure that the squad of players will give a good account of themselves - Best of luck lads

We just have to remember that they cant have everyone on the panel. We all have our opinions on who should and should not be on it. A lot of the lads you have mentioned have not played much soccer cos of hurling ect so far this season.

[Prem Rep!]

Nice to see a few new faces involved this year and a few of the younger players coming through as well. For years it was the same 15-16 lads no matter who was performing well.

In relation to Greg (31) and Maxi (29), they are still performing very well for us and I am sure they would hold there own at county level but I'm guessing if they haven't been called up before they are not going to get the call this year. Greg especially who has probably been one of the most consistent performers for Bridge and Newtown over the last 10-12 years but was never called up to OT.

Good luck to the lads on Saturday, strong squad who I'm sure will get us a result.
Are Brendan Rochford and David Russell not injured??

Ya best of luck, Donegal League will be no push overs. They will have alot of players from Redcastle on their squad and from experience Redcastle are a good footballing side with some very good players, they are very fit and will compete for every ball. Is a long haul (6 -7) hours so that will deff go against Clare. Pitch (if played in Redcastles place is great) so good for passing game.

Surely the OT team isn't picked over the course of 2 months football - I'm sure the managment team who would be involved in their own teams don't get the full picture of what is available to them - there are players on the OT that can't even make their own club teams - is is a case of "just full-filling the fixture" or have they any inhabitions of seriously competing for a place outside the group stages ? -

we got the goal mouths and centre circle re-sodded about 2mths back and had to stay off it for about 6weeks but with all the recent rain we cant get it cut!! hoping to get it playable for sunday.
and we might even buy 1of ye're calenders after

[old git]

had to be the players choice :D ... i'm sure clare league already had a 4 star hotel & spa booked for team to stay overnight :D:D

booked as requsted by clare league officals

[Bossman]

Donegal 1-1 Clare

Went 1-0 down on 60 minutes. Should have been a free out. Jimmy Houlihan equalised on 80 minutes with a great finish. Played really well and deserved to get a result.

[LazyLegs]

Moher Celtic A V Bridge Celtic A
Corofin Harps A V Burren United
Rineanna Rovers V Newmarket Celtic A
Bunratty A V Lifford A

Bridge and Kilrush in FAI action?
Don't think Lissleton will fancy travelling to Kilrush? Any chance of an upset here??

[ILuvFootie]

Well the Clare League are after sending a warning out to all team managers to not dictate to them when the Oscar Traynor team can train or play matches??Whats that all about?Surely clubs must be happy to have a representative on the Clare team

[Planners]

Moher Celtic A V Bridge Celtic A - - - -2 . 1
Corofin Harps A V Burren United - - - 1. 1
Rineanna Rovers V Newmarket Celtic A - - 4 . 1
Bunratty A V Lifford A - - 1 .1


Big one for the Reds need the points - it will be tough in Rineanna -
Top of the table clash with the Rats and Lifford - 2 footballing sides both well represented on the Oscar panel !!!

[Trevor Mcnurkey]

Just Out of Curiosity there is a youth match down to be played in Spanish point. Anyone know where this pitch is located ????? http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0041.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net/freesmiley.php?smiley=party/party0041.gif)

The reason been here is training was called for this thursday night and all panel were expected to attend,,some managers and coaches of there club teams could not be happy with this situation as they are trying to prepare for there own important league matches this Sunday,,I for one do not think this is fair to call a training session for a thursday when all club teams are trying to win league games that are just as if not more important than the oscar traynor. Some people seem to forget about clubs preparation when it comes to the Clare set up

[ILuvFootie]

Totally agree with you Mamalishi.Nearly every club trains Tuesday and Thursday so it would be common sense to have another nightfor Oscar training

Come out of the fog planners. 4-1 is a bit much to be asking considering ye are not the most attacking team around. Everyone here will agree that ye have good footballers but they also know that ye are a battling team that wil make sure of a close game. If you are so confident you should put your money where your mouth is. ye are 2/1 in newmarket bookies i hear

[Planners]

Currently the team seems to be going from strenght to strength both in confidence and numbers - with good turn out at training etc it should be a good game - worried about the ref though -
a quick one in relation to OT - if it were not for the clubs there wouldn't be an Oscar team - players have to commit to the clubs first

[CmonTheRovers]

i think you'll find Planners isn't a Rover!!! local derbies never have more than the one goal in it! Newmarket will be well up for it, thats for sure. they might sneak it 2-1

This means that amateur players would be training for 3 nights and playing on the sunday. I can see what the clare league are trying to do as sometimes players are not interested in over commitment and would see 3 nights as too much and may not bother turning up.
Unless 1 team has most of their players on it then having training on a night clubs train is quite sensible....

you are missing the point ,,the clare team are not playing this Sunday which means they dont need to be training this week,,the clubs are playing important matches this week so would need all there players at training to prepare for these matches especially there best players who would be on the clare team

[Planners]

How's the head Avenue ?
Again you have the wrong guy - I know who your talking about and it not me - and you know the rules on the guessing game - back to football - no game this weekend ?

Weren't lads combining GAA Training and footie training during the summer and training at least 3 nights aweek.As Planners said the clubs are the Lifeblood of the Clare League and for them to be trying to dictate to teams what nights they can take players is wrong.Bunratty had 5or 6 players so it would really affect their training.

[Goals4fun]

see what you are saying now. i did not realise it was this week ye were on about. It is a tough one and maybe it was the players that decided to train on a night that suited (normal training night)

[Halo]

Most teams have only 1 or 2 players on the panel, so it shoudn't have much of an effect on training for one night. In bunratty cases fair enough they have 5 or 6 players on it, but are they really that good a team?

Bunratty manager is oscar traynor manager so i would presume they train on different nights:o

[ILuvFootie]

Yeah i suppose they do.Nway do we really need an Oscar Traynor team.Couldnt the Clare League spend the money involved in running it some other way.I mean clubs are forking out 100 euro to help the Youths League which at the moment is only 9 teams.Surely money saved from having no OT team could improve football standards in Clare??
