Second, you well know its not the same going from Ave to Lifford. Surely you can see the problem is going from Ave to Newmarket. Davy knows himself he should have went at the start of season and not played 5 games with Avenue. Considering its well known the deal was done as far as March last year for Davy to go. So why did Smyth leave since you seem so informed?Quote:

I'd say Galway are shaking in their boots
My thinkin exactly
Anyone any idea on the starting 11, or even potential starting team
Id say somthing lik John Mul, Paddy Malley,EOB, Purcell,Murph,Corry,Smyth,Hayes,Gary Higgins,Davy. Not sure bout up top. Maybe Kelly would play too.
hayso, corry, kelly, darryl, higgins and mccarthy my prediction. back five are decent... mcgann would slot in nicely pity hes not involved
Out of curiosity what 7 players would you have In there instead of them 7?Quote:

The lads left Avenue because there's obviously bad moral in the camp. From the outside looking in it doesn't seem to be a good place to be playing at the moment.
Best of luck to the Oscar traynors this weekend. €5 entry fee? I think I'll be jumping the wall :)
Cant understand why Mike Mc isnt in the squad. Best out and out striker in the league at the moment.
Scored 22 league goals last year according to bridge utd websiteQuote:

Didn't Darren Murphy get Man of the Match v Limerick whilst playing in first division? Had Shane Clarke in his pocket..Quote:

He isn't. Long way behind othersQuote:

Good player Darren but if my memory is correct Clarke scored 2 that night. I stand to be corrected.Quote:

Eoin how much of the second division are you watching?
As for the game Saturday I think Clare will take a defensive approach with a long ball game to a target man as this seems to be Mick's football ethos. It will be a tough ask against a side with a lot of LOI experience but whatever side he picks will be well drilled.
Good luck to all involved.
So Darren cullinan and David o grady start most weeks on the newmarket team yet you think they shouldn't be on squad.2 lads with loads of experience.. who's the spoofer now.. you haven't a clue about football..Quote:

I haven't seen enough of the non Newmarket lads to judge them off hand. Plus the fact that I believe that my brother is the best left-back in the county but I might be biased.Quote:

Even having the young fella around the squad will benefit him and us (Newmarket and Clare) in the long term. To dismiss him off hand shows you either haven't seen the contribution he has made at the latter end of last season and this season to Newmarket. If you have then clearly it confirms to me that you know nothing about football.
👍👍 someone who talks sense. Thank GodQuote:

Conventional number 9's Stephen Hickey and Garry Higgins. I would add Mike Mahoney to the list but he is not a number 9.Quote:

I use our club as the barometer and I couldn't see him being in the top 6 for inclusion up front. I am not having a go at Mike, I don't know him but from what I have seen he has a bit to go to be seriously considered for a start in an OT side.
True about lack of number 9s in the league. But its a feature all over soccer really. No real forward whos stay width of the box and no more. Hickey hasnt done much in recent times, no interest it seems. Dnt think he is playing this year either. All games I have seen Higgins on the left. Defo think Mike should be in the squad at least. Who is the sub keeper does anyone know??
Darren Whelan from OlympicQuote:

any match report?
Didn't see the 1st half but Paddy o' Malley put Clare 2- 1 up with about 20 mins to go , then Corry in the Clare midfield got sent off with less than 5 to go and then the home side conceded a penalty which Galway scored with about 2 mins left. It felt like 2 points dropped but a draw was probably a fair result. Clare have a pretty decent side albeit playing without an out and out centre forward, i reckon Kerin at Avenue could do a job up front for them and at the same time free up Stephen Kelly. thought Hayes was excellent and the rest of the lads all played well , small crowd as usual.
gary higgins of olympics more than capable of this role was he playing Saturday night ?Quote:
