no avenue did not organise anything he is thinking of coming back to us but hasnt signed anything yet! i suggest ye try to sign him maybe the thought of a crisp 50 every week would tempt him! nah i doubt it he would certainly tell ye where to go.... in fairness though he would be a much better signing than wilson and for free too...Quote:

I have to agree.The standard appears to be rubbish.No team(I havent seen them all) seems to be able to put together any sort of winning form.I know the grass always looks greener in the dim past ,but for 10 years Newtown,who had a team that would whack any of the current sides,were second to that great Avenue team of the 80s.
It makes it even more ironic that all that seems to be talked about is the standard of refs.What about the poor standard of player??????????????

too many tippy-tap, weak and windy players playing today.The attitude, work ethic and physical strength of years gone by is sadly lacking in a lot of cases. Lots of "nice" players with lovely boots and wonderful flicks but very little end product. There are not as many good solid players around these days. But that seems to be the case across the whole country..there must be a reason for it??

Thats seems correct.The skills are there ,but no balls guts or brains.Is it possible that the better athletes or some of the better athletes are opting for other sports eg rugby and gaa.How else can you explain no under 11 team from Shannon in the schoolboys??It appears that Ennis is doing a lot of work but they may be competing for players too much against each other and not concentrating on improving the players they have on the pitch??When is the last time we had a Shannon player on the Clare Kennedy cup team??
Lads i believe we will have an extra ref this weekend,good source tells me that P Dunne is returning,
i know your feelings on him from this site, but i think best of luck to him,we need as many as we can now.

I should have made that clearer.
Ref was Dave McCarthy and he was very good as all agreed afterwards. He was very fair and set his stall out early. Game was played in good spirit with little or no serious incidents. The thing with this ref is that you can actually talk to him which makes a massive difference.Quote:
