All decent young players
Ya some good players there.where declan o mara sign from ???. Only problem is will they turn up every week . Isn't that why most of them shannon lads weren't playing regularly for hibs and town.. great signings if committed but worrying for locals with so many outsiders coming in. Are they all signed up to A team??Quote:

Your address is irrelevant
Good answer and right attitude.. I think that you will find declan o mara is more than 19.. at least 30..I thought he signed back with olympic b as I saw him play a match for them this year. Might have been a friendlyQuote:

That's what I was thinking old git if they couldn't bother training with "their clubs " what would make them change and travel to bridge for training. Bridge utd have been making great strides hopefully this wont upset too many lads. Bridge have always been close knit community team made up of locals.Quote:

May upset others but certainly not Bridge Utd
good to see any club growing and attracting players but some of the players mentioned here would not fall into that better player statement. plus the bridge teams were always based on homegrown local lads willing to give their all for their team with the odd outsider and some smashing teams over the yearsQuote:

agree with old git, bridge teams have always been mainly local lads, which is a priceless thing to have and something that is largely underestimated and ignored..... gavin whyte good young local lad but the rest of them are poisonous signings...... what is it with this generation of shannon lads that cannot commit to one club for any period of time at all...... this is exactly why shannon teams are struggling because of idiots who jump from club to club, constantly on the move. cant see this being a positive thing for bridge, 1/2 outsiders, ok but 5 is way too many. especially when these lads couldnt spell loyalty

Least the Bridge have a good management team that are doing things right and play ball the right way IMO.
Crazy comment as you shuffleruns played with A team and jack carrig played with B team so two player's different at different sessions. Plus isn't ger kelly training town and he is oscar traynor coach too can't be that boring since they are in all ireland semi..and from reading earlier posts they are still getting good numbers so maybe you just didn't fit in there. At the end of the day talisman is dead right none of them players mentioned will give any loyalty or commitment.but all good players if They did. Pa mcmahon left cause he wasn't starting james harty has swapped clubs 3 times now in 12 months same with o mara jack dunlea and jack carrig are" gaa first" men. So gavin is probably the only good signing out of the 5
Stand by what i said.... Never said Ger Kelly isn't a good coach..Quote:

Maybe one of the jumping jacks, imo, is worth the risk but he really needs a kick up the arse before he finds himself looking back and regretting. Maybe the idle promises might bare fruit, time will tell.
Anyway it looks like another weekend of no fixtures as the forecast isn't great again. Big squads might be the answer with the way the season is progressing.
Totally agree your club has proven this mainly home grown but the outsiders brought in are proven quality and commited lads. The new goalie brigdale daithi o connell all serving newmarket well.. alot to be learnt from clubs like newmarketQuote:

We heard alot of these young impressionable fellows have moved to the Bridge on a promise to a possible step accross the water - if thats the case its a bit unfair - your sending out the wrong message - likens to Liffords past recuting policy !!
And we all know what happened to Lifford - with their policy - robbing { ott maybe } players from the town based on a false promise - - - how are lifford doing in general ?
these shannon lads see there friends winning youth and 19s medals with the bridge. they see there is good training on offer and a good young A team which can compete against your avenues and newmarkets. comparing the bridge ATTRACTING players to what lifford did is pathetic..

As for there u18s/19s winning things its a lot easier to win a league with 4 or 5 teams in it..
Out of interest what is it that Liffrord did exactly to attract players? Last I heard they were losing a lot of players from past seasons rather then getting any new players in?
[QUOTE=Planners;1735359]jesus i dont think lads would be that stupid to believe that story to sign , Plus they must have high opinions of themselves to be thinking of moves across the water :confused:Quote:

And there was I thinking you had no sense of humour second!! Good one
Gerry has plenty of qualifications got...If you equate boring with hard work then maybe you get to the crux of the issue...We have had numerous different sessions over the past year or two...circuit training, astro, hill running, shooting practice, ball work, cross fit...what more to lads want like??
what a statement! What do they have to offer! Slag off the players that play with, or have left, or are heading to them, but to slag what facilities a lot of people have worked hard to get and are still working hard to improve is a bit childish.Quote:

So let the good work of other clubs out of it.
