did someone drop something??
Well because they maybe think that they will get their game and more so because it is accepted that when they sign there is an understanding that they will not be committing for the season...this is just an opinion and i am aware that it happens in every club...the point im trying to make is that things may be good out there at the moment but it may soon fade...and it has been the way in Rineanna that they start better in the league than they finish. They could have won a few leagues had this been rectified. I would like Planners to join in the discussion as i would like to hear his views...

No First, as you can see Planners was given the coveted No.6 jersey and was in the dressing room for the half-time team talk yesterday so he wasn't involved in the half-time showboating that has become the highlight of many a Rineanna game over the last season or two.
Good win for the Rovers, that's them with a guaranteed place in the FAI Area Cup Final this season
In my opinion the start we have had is on the same lines as the 2006 / 2007 season - we didn't have too many hurlers then - when you look at it we have played 2 games in the MJ - 4 in the FAI and 5 in the league - the league started Aug - at this stage NOF had blind intentions of winning the Cannon cup :D - these players hadn't signed / played for us in the first 4 league games - then the FAI and MJ kicked off , its a good way of giving other players a run out - lads , at the end of the day these hurlers are training away with us and do deserve a chance to break in as much as anyone else -
In relation to your opinion on the understanding of not commiting - any manager would play week to week and would expect an honest commitment , the majority of managers pick a team on ability and training attendance , getting a nice mix would be perfect but this isn't always the case - the same can been seen at your club -
To say there is an understanding is a bit off the wall and I'm not going to rise to it -
You'll be back soon so I'd keep my powder dry if I were you :D
So you dont think that there is an understanding that when some of those players sign that both the manager, the player and the team know that this is a short-term commitment. It would be ideal for a manahger to have a squad full of just soccer players but in reality these type of players are needed. In Rineanna it is your most important players that will not be available when the hurling starts up whereas in other clubs this does not appear to be the case. Would you not agree?
And I am not trying to rise you, merely sparking a conversation about a topic...
LL - lets be realistic here , every club knows what they are getting when the GAA lads sign - and you have basically said the same in your post in that it would be ideal to have a full squad of soccer players , I disagree with your statement of them being the most important - we have a fairly large squad with only 5 GAA players - this leaves 17 + lads that are more than capable
Take a look at your own club - there are 4 GAA players , all quiet capable of making the starting 11 , when they FO will that be the down fall given the stregth of ye're current squad ? IMO i don;t think so by the way , allowances are made when you take on GAA players - is it wrong ?? - - in some ways but given the distance that the NOF hurlers got I don't think they'll be in a rush to get back training in Feb for a Chanpionship match in Aug :D

How come Tulla Utd A and Rhine Rovers are yet to play a league match this season? I take it the tables on the website are up to date
Bridge Celtic vs Rock
Newmarket vs Tulla
Bunratty vs Avenue
Bunratty vs Avenue is fixed for Sunday (weather permitting)
Shocking bad weather alright.... Who wants to open up another summer soccer debate? Forecast for the weekend not good...
This current cycle of wet weather will continue over the weekend and into the first half of next week as well. Saturday will be another wet and windy day; heavy rain is likely in all parts of the country and the southerly winds will be very blustery at times. The weather will change for Sunday; it will be a brighter day but also showery, with most of the showers over the western half of the country. Sunday will still be windy, although not as windy as Saturday. And the weather will continue to stay much the same on Monday; showery in the west but drier in the east. At this stage Tuesday looks to be a reasonably good day; fairly dry and bright with light winds. But then more rain will spread from the south on Tuesday night, and mid-week next week looks every bit as unsettled as this week.
Surely the CDSL will have a blanket call-off this weekend?? This weather is atrocious
what sort of an event is on Planners...fingerfood or full meal or wat? should be a good night?
Lads, take it to PM.
Well lads does anyone know if Newmarket's pitch will be playable Sunday.
Not looking good. The two pitches are usually in excellent condition but with the amount of rain we've had over the last week or so both pitches are holding surface water at the moment and we had to cancel training tonight because of it. Weather promised bad for Saturday as well so that won't help. Will we lose home advantage if it doesn't go ahead?
all League Matches off according to clare soccer.net website..... FAI Matches still going ahead
Yeah, all League games off and Bunratty A V Avenue A in the MJC 3rd Round is off as well. All the FAI games should be called off too, it's not like Clare is the only county in Ireland with bad weather and flooding at the moment, it's like that nationwide. Newmarket have an FAI youths game Saturday and FAI Junior game Sunday and Im not sure even their facilities will be playable this weekend
