as it seems there are loads of people from shannon posting, bitching about each other, giving out about possible amalgamations, stealing players ,
rather than hijacking other rlevant threads, i thought to open a thread for these boys to play in....have fun :D

I wonder would anybody consider getting a team/squad together and trying to go over to France to play Guingamp as they are twinned with shannon. Would be a cool thing to do and might be some early steps in getting a cracking team together to represent shannon !!:cool:
thats a cracking idea but guincamp were in la chapionat bout 5 years ago werent they. it might be a bit of a mismatch.. is there even three players worth choosing from in shannon...Quote:

Now i can see the arguments, pick the newtown lads to manage the team thay have the best team..... pick the shannon town manager as his team plays 1a in limerick..... pick olympic manager as he would not be biased..... pikc the park manager as he has had a few good players over the last few years.... it would all end like the amalgamations, down the drain. maybe one of the seasoned players could do it? or somebody will local knowledge but no link to any team (where could you find somebody like that)Quote:

I know the real soccer people of shannon being park and newtown had rubber stamped the idea jersey colors and all rhubarb and blue, barca colors if you prefer. i believe from talking to the man who started the talks that it came down to players.... some of whom were afraid to lose their A team status... Do you think the players should have had as much input?!!.Quote:

too much politics .. you could add bunratty / rinnanna / newmarketQuote:

you couldnt add in newmarket and bunratty or the bridge what role do they play in shannon soccer... there should only be one team in shannon, and if people feel this strongly why dont the men at the top off all the clubs just get together and sort out there differences... shannon town began it, park broke off. then newtown wanted theyre own club, finally so did olympic.. thats how it began so we can only blame the older men for these problems and only thinking of themselvesQuote:

It didn't happen and won't happen so why is it still been talked about.
For people to go blaming the "older men" is not right at all, these "older men" wanted and tried to get a good soccer club in shannon insread of 4 very average teams not even competing at the later stage's of National competion.
how many shanon players ended up with clubs above at some stageQuote:

you cannot blame older men for creating problems ... these things happen and i am sure these people are held in high esteem by anybody involved in park / newtown / olympic .. WHO KNOWS WITH THE CURRENT POPULATION IN SHANNON A NEW CLUB MAY APPEAR IN THE FUTURE ...:eek:
probably more realistic than ever having one club !!!:rolleyes:Quote:
