Ya no disrespect to Kerin, seen him play a good bit and his not up to scratch. He should try enjoy the year he has training with the OT, see what he can take from it
Higgins was almost playing as a left winger, don't think he was suited to it really, better off playing a natural wide man , as for young Kerin i still think there is potential there, and won't be far off the Avenue A before too long.
If you think he isnt far off ave a what makes you think that he could play up front for OT there is at least 7 or 8 players better than him to play that role that are not even on the panel..
Names please :)
Mike mc and baz from bridge,barry nugent mikey mahoney roche ave..scott hennesy and niggs lifford and thats just top of my head..
I agree with a lot of what you post in general Fatronaldo but from that list I think only Mike Mc and Roche (be it Alan or Mark) have something to offer to OT panel.Quote:

You could add Ronan McCormack to that list aswell in that caseQuote:

Thought the discussion was about a big target man , most of the lads mentioned , with the exception of Leahy are smaller nippy guys more suited to no. 10 role, and there are a few of them in the panel already.
That's what I thought aswel! Someone who can play as lone striker and make a nuisance of themselves up front, as for him playing centre back what difference does thst make old git? He was asked to do a job when we were struggling and did it extremely well, and done it against newmarket this season. So I'm failing to see what your argument is here?Quote:

Personally I didn't know Olympic were looking to play him centre half for the season, yes he played there last season when we were missing players and against newmarket this year. The discussion was players who could do a lone striker role, as I said I think leahy and Brian Corry could as they are both strong fast players. Now that the GAA is finished hopefully we'll see himself and higgins upfront on the pitch.Quote:

definatly your best strike force ( cheeky may disagree ;)
Possibly, either 2 of the 3 are a good strike force. It'd just be nice to have a full squad available for once!Quote:

You couldnt really gauge it on the pike game.. Newmarket will have more fight and team spirit about them.. pike have lost that over last 2 years.. fabulous footballers but no heart or team spirit..not saying newmarket will win.. but don't be suprised if they do..Quote:

Premier Div.: No real surprises here big guns at the top and will stay there, of the other teams Corofin are doing surprisingly well but Lifford could face the drop.
Div.2 : Hard to call but looks between Rineanna and the Burren , sad to see Rhine propping up the table as they were a premier side 3 seasons ago , i suppose all the rural clubs have problems from time to time.
Div 3 :Looks to be between West Clare and Olympic B but BRIDGE b could be dark horses.
Div 1 : Looks like a battle between Avenue B and Ennistymon but the real fun for the cdsl could begin if 2 of the B teams finish in the top 3 or all 3 finish in the top 5, not that unlikely either.
To finish hopefully Donal will give us a decent winter break otherwise we'll have a mighty long summer break !!
Newmarket and Bridge will be a run away in the premier but don't think the rest of it will stay the way it is. Avenue surely wont hold 3rd, club isn't the same as it used to be. Kilrush will compete for 2nd division as well as the other two teams
Bridge B if they hold there squad should win the 3rd division, and could be a tricky one for any cup team. Alot of premier experience in their squad.
Wouldn't be writing off Avenue just yet, I don't think they'll win it but they might have a say in who does.Quote:

3 2 to Clare.
14 men in the squad?? Players should be called up for games like that plenty talent around the place capable of being squad players, I'm sure there was plenty of lads sitting at home this weekend interested in a game, OT management need to up it a gear or they will be no where near the heights of last year. Sounds like a shambles
