I don't care let them off they will blow it again and then blame someonelse, no self control or respect for anyone at the club!!! They don't deserve to go up with this behaviour, I feel sorry for the ones who stay in and behave themselves. :D :DQuote:

I think the one team thats capable of that is Bridge Celtic.
Bridge Celtic are the team of the League and should easily beat Rock and Tulla to take control of the league this weekend!!!! The rest will have to settle for the minor placings in this league, fancy them to get to the Cup Final as well as long as they don't face Bridge Utd, the team is good enough to beat everyone else in the competition.Quote:

Haven't been around for a few days so had a lot of catching up to do,i have been involved in clare soccer for a long time and it is rapidly declining,when you have the likes of P---- Dunne still reffing a match it says it all.The Clare league are a joke,i read one comment who said maybe the clare league could show us the way forward(No Chance) they take €30 per player signed into their coffers.They don't want to give anything back to the clubs,As for clubs being loaded and able to afford things(Bullsh!t) no club is loaded they just have a dedicated small number of people who take every opportunity to fundraise,as far players,95% of them never put anything back into the club,what would it take for a few 1st team players to go maybe once or twice a week and train young kids,nah can't be bothered.loads more to say but haven't the time at the moment,i would like to hear your replies as i strongly believe Clare soccer is dying on it's feet :( :(

Anyone who witnessed his display last sunday would have to agree that his retirement would be the best thing to happen Clare League soccer ina a very long time. I've been playing for the one club for 23 seasons and always the main reason was for the enjoyment. However, going out on a pitch to endure what that man does to a soccer match couldn't possibly be classed as enjoyment. It's no wonder people slag off Clare League referees. In the past few weeks, I've seen Martin O'Brien who in my opinion reffed our game to a professional standard ... the best I've ever seen in junior soccer, Dave Mc Carthy who did almost as well and Paddy Mulready who, while he made a few mistakes was willing to put his hands up and admit it and ref the game in a fair and sporting manner. Then to have what was a good opinion of the standard of refereeing in clare blown out of the water on sunday last was downright depressing. Rant over ... for now :mad:Quote:

True they've had 2 poor losses away from home & I think you'll find that in the 6 months of the season so far have been interrupted by their participation in the FAI & the weather (which goes for all teams). If they get a chance to get a run of games every week & build up a head of steam they could do damage. They beat ye didn't they ??Quote:

If my figures are correct, that leaves Olympic on top, slightly ahead of Bridge Celtic, with a gap to Mountshannon and Tulla, Kilrush bring up the rear with Bunratty and Kilkkishen too close for comfort.
Ya i think it was a good draw but i bet connolly felt that aswell and look what happened to them, Olympic will just have to take it one game at a time,Quote:

Makes alot more sense that way around. I was wondering cause Kilkee have a good shot at winning Div 3 so giving teams walkovers wouldn't be the best way to go about it.
Saying that Avenue B gave Tulla B a walkover last year & still p1ssed Div 3.
Who do you think will win the cup this year...any dark horse in your opinionQuote:

(It all seems a bit predictable really)
Whats the story with Avenue B are they made up of a good bunch of young fellas not ready for the A team yet or is it the other way round alot of older players who can play ball but cant give the time an A team player has to...Quote:

A team that gives a walkover like that is docked 3 points. This is to discourage teams from doing so and in the Clare Youths league, Turnpike giving a walkover to Bunratty has knocked them out of contention (they lost a possible 6 points ... 3 if they had won the game and 3 docked).Quote:

To be honest, no I haven't noticed this. Several times in the past we've asked for weekends off and provided we gave enough notice we were successful in doing so. And I wouldn't classify us as one of the bigger clubs.Quote:

In fairness to Lydon whatever about the restof them he's a sound man & will always help out in any way he can.Quote:

He probably has the toughest job in the Clare league and juggling all those fixtures can't be an easy task. However, as is stated in the Champion every week, you need to give two weeks written notice if you want a free weekend. If your club has done this, then you have a good case for appealing the walkover. Check with your club secretary to see if the notice was given.Quote:

Having drawn with Rock away earlier in the season we will also hope to take the points there. 3 massive games for Bridge Celtic. Rock, Mountshannon & Tulla. This really is the biggest week of the season so far. By next sunday, the league table could look a whole lot different........
Yip its a big week in Div 1 some one has to fall by the wayside i think Rock and Mountshannon need good results to keep the distance between them and the teams with games in hand over them .Quote:
