a lot of teams have the same problems ... trying to get players out of bed and a few definatly don't like the rain & muck
but it helps if you get a few wins and are playing well... looks like it could be a very intresting season :p :p

[QUOTE=Planners;517194]Newtown's new signings are too young - there going to have serious problems getting them out of the bed on a Sunday morning in the muck and the rain
Surely its the old boys that deserve a lie in on a Sunday morning, those young fellas should be well able for it:eek: :D
What about the new boys on the block - Moher and Shannon Olympic - out of their dept? - where are Moher playing this year ?
Has a promoted team ever won the league in their first season???
as regards newtown think they have a management team in place to get the best out of each player, all clubs have the muck and rain problem as for Newmarket are those rumours coming from the team amd IMO the winner of this year league will the one the best results from game in moher tough place to get points from
Cousinsyl - If I recall that 1st division would I be right in saying that you got 5 walkovers in the last 7 games - thats not winning a league - cheats
Newtown beat Corbally tonight 4-2.Scorers were Ray Quigley, Ryan Kelly,Declan Mcdonald and Davy Wall.Good match Corbally scored first but Newtown recovered well and finished too strong for the newly promoted Limerick Premier side.
No you would be wrong.....
Recieved 1 walkover from Turnpike in the second last game. We would have been at home in it and would have won it anyway the form we were in.
Well done to Newtown again last night...100% winning start for the new managers is it????
Any idea who ye play Sunday week on the opening lg day? Would be a cracker if it were Olympic. Great to get those 2 back together for the derby games.
shouldnt read too much into friendly pre season games, lots of experiments, new guys new systems etc etc. no real championship commitment / attitude. suppose psychologically(??) a win is always good but the performance wold be more important...
as for young lads gettin out of bed on a wet sunday morn a lot of em dont have to attitude to be able to stay in on a sat nite an be fresh for a sun morn game..most of the older lads are well able to....
Its good to get results in pre-season but it wont mean a thing once the season kicks off. All we are doing is trying formations, building fitness and getting to know our options for the real games ahead. That said its better to do that by winning games and building up team spirit. The trophies are handed out next april/may and thats a long way off yet. Good luck to everyone for the new season I'm sure there will be plenty of "debate" on here for the next 10 months.:)
Lads are the fixtures out for the start of the season,its next week it starts isnt it????
anyone got a report on the john paul o halloran tournament over the weekend
