Hard to see the point in that game from either team both will have learned nothing from it.Quote:

Looking forward to seeing what teams are like in 2 weeks, having seen a lot of teams around, some difference in where teams are at. Seen a Junior game and a Senior game this weekend, good to be back.
That I totally agree with.Quote:

Those that have been there and done it will have ther jobs done and know what it takes coachford are the side to beat .Quote:

Some of that Leeds team are overthehill in fairness just helping out.Quote:

It's a shame we can't go to games now, some interesting openers. Glenthorn v Grattan would be a good watch to see where they are at.
Madness. 30 odd fellas can play but nobody can watch. Glenthorn v Grattan would be interesting alright.Quote:

Glen have added a few from what I saw ..lots of misinformation out there with all clubs.it seems your making out the shake up split their camp I was told the opposite .what can a club do if there.s no confidence in management got to go with the players .
From the few games i saw last year Glen were excellent and all the" behaviour" associated with them in the past was gone. Talk around is the management were pushed when the previous manager wanted the role back. Lots of family influence involved i heard. Anyway, is what it is and the proof will be when the the results come in. Wish them luck as when they focus on the football only, they can be very good.
Can tell you now the previous manager wanted no football but was aproched by no less then 9 player s that wanted a change as what was reflected in the decision made I'm told it was a landslide.no one was pushed the glen just felt after losing the big games a change was needed.Quote:

Like your good self just passing on what I'm hearing but the aul is a small place and we all know someone from every club ..and getting smaller I might ad.just making sure the rights of a situation are told.all parties last season the same management was put forward so there was no issues with any thing but 1 wanted changes.for reasons of football.Quote:
