I heard today around the town alright apparently with hurling and football taking some players and on top of that some 3 game suspensions they wouldnt have being able to field a team for the 1st 3 games. JJ Butler and John Murphy are supposed to be going to Carrick with Ger Walsh on his way to Piltown
rock are defo gone, heard it from one of their players today
good riddance. thugsQuote:

Sorry to disappoint a lot of people on here but the Rock will be taking to the field this Friday at 6.30 against Clonmel Town.They will struggle with a weakened team for the first few weeks of the season but once the GAA is over they should be ok.Just to confirm Rock Rovers don't have any debt.
How can they fulfill the fixture with no players?Quote:

Celtic have Town and Villa in the opening games as well as a derby with Wilderness and im sure Celtic must have suspensions as their discipline was shocking last seasonQuote:

will Barry Kiely get his game this year?? Who else have Celtic signed besides him,Power and Kennedy.
Give me a predicted line up there Pony??
Are Paddy Power off the wall offering odds on Junior League games.. they could be so open to manipulation its unreal.
And is there a bet limit ?
Taking Celtic at 1/5 on against the Wildies would be buying money. 100 down to win 20, 20% profit in 2 hours .. Jesus but I'm having some of that.
Not only that, but if you fancied an accumalator of the most likely results i.e. wins for Michaels, Town, Celtic and Peake, you'd double your money. Decent enough bet what do people think ?
Is it true that cashel signed barry mcCormack from cahir and one or two others
'Shocking discipline', what evidence do you have for such a thoughtless remark? I have seen the suspension list for the start of the season and it doesn't support your comment. Their discipline was no better or worse than most other teams last season.Quote:

Don't use one game as evidence to say that Celtic have a discipline problem. Of course they have had other red cards during the season, what team hadn't. If you went to the league and requested the yellow and red card tally for last season I bet you would be surprised where Celtic ranked.Quote:

Anybody any thoughts on Div 1 this year??
Bridge seem to have strongest team again in this div. and for once they having been training very well in pre-season, pity they didn't do it for Prem League.
Only thing is Bridge have 4 or 5 suspensions at start of season but the Shield is their first game so at least it not a league tie.
Any info on other teams in Div 1?
Tommy Gaynor has taken over Borris,they will attract a lot of players and will be very strong i would imagine in that divisionQuote:

Never a certainty in a bookies my good man, and I find that my small few bob tends to add two stone weight to any nag I decide to risk it on.. but as the man says, while the fight is not always to the strongest, nor the race to the fastest... that is the way to bet.Quote:

Had a couple of good results in challenges, without ever really having the best first team available or on the pitch.
It's the suspensions that could make a lottery of this weeks games. Not sure how many Saints have, but Cashel have a few and to pretty key players. Maybe they'll even themselves out.
Another big factor in the game might be whether Chalkie plays for Michaels or not. I've heard he won't be available, and no matter what people think of him, he'll be a big loss.
That's my tuppence worth.
The bet of the night really is Celtic at 1/5. Short odds, but at 20% return in 90 minutes, like I said, it's buying money. You'd have to fancy Peake strongly too against Galbally.
I feel Peake never really get the respect they deserve either on here or out in the real world. But they are the league champions, and they are going to put a decent team out in their first game of the season
Plus, Galbally are a promoted team and as Cashel found last year, it's a hell of a step up.
In fact, I am changing my bet of the night to Peake.. 4/11.. €40 back for 110... over 35% return in 90 minutes. You wouldn't get that with Anglo Irish Bank.
Fill ye're boots lads...
you seem to have alot of fate in the cashel team rock? from watchin Cashel against Blackcastle last weekend they looked excellent.fit sharp an passed blackcastle out of the game.i think it will be a tough game for cashel but i have a sneaky feeling about it.i think cashel can do it.but along with Micheals they are missing some very key players.the new manager seems to be working well,so hopefully they will be up for it,im sure they will..have some more fate in the team....i think clonmel town have it this year.they had an awful start last season but got it together for the second half.i would go with clonmel town.
I've plenty of faith in the Cashel Team CM.. but if you read the post more closely, you'd see that my money on Michaels would probably be worth a goal start for Cashel, such is my terrible luck with the bookies.Quote:

I too think Cashel will do well against Michaels on Friday evening. The important thing is to keep things tight in the early part of the game. We were behind in both games last year before we were warmed up, and you simply can't give them a goal (or four!!!) start again. If that can be avoided, there is nothing stopping Cashel getting a win (not even my twenty :victory: )
Whether Chalkie plays, and I only just heard earlier that Paul Breen is suspended as well, could make a huge difference. That's the heart of their defensive unit. If you can exploit that, could make for an interesting evening.
shane guerin signed for st michaels.ex balla an limerick.striker
As much as it pains me to post this i sadly report that the Rock Rovers club has withdrawn from the Tipperary League.Last night 3 players asked for releases from the Rock to join Carrick United.This coupled with 4 players suspended for the first two games of the season and 2 or 3 injuries leaves the squad in tatters.The players just aren't there.
I know this will please a lot of people but i think its really disappointing because there are a couple of really genuine lads that are involved in that club that fought tooth and nail to keep the Rock afloat year in year out.The 3 players that have left should have let the club know sooner than 2 nights before the season starts but when you have a big club like Carrick United approaching you,it's hard to say no.
Have to say useless that I am genuinely sorry to hear that news. Like I said before, I know Rock weren't everyones favourite team, but they had some decent players and some decent people involved in the club. A pity to see them go.Quote:
