Personally I can't wait for the season to see town / celtic/ saints fight it out for the premier and also to see what effect if any Noel Byrne has on peake villa and that's no disrespect to the other clubs in the premier
Yeah exactly its all good banter but in truth it is all shadow boxing until teams are back pre season training and playing friendlies,great to see such a buzz around the league thoughQuote:

Busy start to the season usually with prob 2 games a week, points need to be picked up early in your to have any hope.
Cant wait to see who goes to who.Theres an epic season in store.:L
its always of interest to see who goes where at this time of year and listen to the rumours however when we do start i expect more of the same to be honest. town and saints to battle it out for the league and at least 1 of the promoted sides to be well off the pace and cannon fodder. i cant see peake doing a hell of a lot now either if the reports of being unable to sign their former players back are true, maybe they have some good youths coming through tho. the only hope of a suprise for me would be a real challenge for the league by celtic
peakes youth team werent world beaters but if it wasnt for 1 or 2 outstanding individuals, the juniors wouldnt have got by. Surely the commitee up there wouldnt want them left behind if noel byrnes brings in players.Quote:

I dont really know much about Cahir Park but why are they never challenging for league honours?? they nearly got relegated last year. For such a big town and without as much a challenge as GAA, as say Thurles, it baffles me. Surely the TSDL would be a much stronger league with a strong Cahir team challenging. There facililties are top notch also.
It will be interesting to see how the peake do next year actually,Last year their team was very unsettled.Completely agree with the bit about Cahir,its quite unbelievable.Quote:

Heard about result in Portugal from Reports best team lost by a fluke goal but as we all know that happens in football but does nt it make u proud to have 3 tsdl players involved and also knowing that the like s of tony Scully Ritchie ryan (saints n town ) and jimmy carr are knocking on the door to be in squad
Fair play to them for getteing there.Massive achievment and good to see a few TSDL lads on the team.Quote:

Losing finalists in 2001, Braga finally got their hands on the UEFA Regions' Cup trophy, with right-back José Fortunato winning a tight final against Leinster & Munster with a fine chip from the flank six minutes from time at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos.
The No2 had been picked out in space as Dito's side poured forward, and wrong-footed Leinster & Munster goalkeeper Brendan O'Connell with a supremely composed finish. Braga had taken the lead through a no less impressive Pedro Nobre strike on 62 minutes, but their dogged opponents struck back soon after, David O'Sullivan pouncing on a loose ball after Ray Whelehan's free-kick was parried.
Crossbars rattled at both ends before the break. Leinster & Munster gave early warning of their threat on three minutes, with Laurence Dunne's strike unwittingly finding the frame of the goal via a deflection off defender Daniel Simões. Powerful and assured throughout this tournament, the Irish side made the early running, but nimble and enterprising Braga slowly gained a foothold.
O'Connell made the first save of the game, blocking with a foot after Diogo Leite threaded a ball through to João Silva in the box, while Luís Ribeiro forced the goalkeeper to make a diving stop with a menacing strike from outside the box. Yet it was Pedro Nobre who got the crowd on their feet. The fleet-footed winger weaved his way into the box on the left in first-half added time and was repelled once before returning with an even more dazzling display of skill, ghosting around two defenders and driving against the underside of the crossbar.
The interval came at a good time for Gerry Smith's side, whose attacking verve seemed to be returning before Braga struck just after the hour. As Irish players crowded to stop Pedro Nobre spinning into the box once more, the winger cut back on the edge of the area and squeezed a low shot past O'Connell's outstretched right hand.
Leinster & Munster responded six minutes later. Whelehan's fierce free-kick surprised Rui Vieira, who could only fend the ball out to O'Sullivan, who finished unerringly. Game on once more, José Ferreira fluffed his lines when Pedro Nobre planted the ball at his feet on the break, but the killer blow was struck on 84 minutes, when the ball was fed out wide to José Fortunato. The right-back sent in a glorious chip from the flank which dipped under the crossbar and in.
tipp town Fc and cahir park back in pre season this week. would imagine it will be another few weeks before most other clubs are back doing abit
Any truth in Wayne Fitz from Carrick taken over at Cahir Park...
would believe it. Cahir badly need a turnaround in fortunes at junior level. someone like wayne fitz with abit of clout in attracting top junior players is just what cahir need. but i havent personally heard the rumour he is taking over
Dont know if its true or not but there is serious rumours going around about players going to Cahir the latest i heard last night is Alan''Minge''Ryan from Carrick this is along with the others being mentioned,Wayne and Thomas Fitz,Smurf,Ian Barnes and Alan Coady,the Carrick lads on the Waterford league thread are staying very quiet so i dont know if thats a good or bad thing,time will tell though.Quote:

supposedly wayne fitz was out in cahir park at a meeting last nite, barnes and darren burns are defo goin out there, cudnt see it lasting, didnt they do this with lads from cork before? hey any idea who won the joe delaney cup or has it been played
they brought down 3 or 4 players from cork, season before last, think it was to try and have a good year in 2010 for there centenery year. few were decent but not exceptional a tricky winger, full back and the player manager was an alright player. the players they are being linked with now are all top players and would instantly make cahir far more competitive in the premier division. they definatly wouldnt be in a relegation battle if they add those carrick and ex town players mentioned in previous posts
Ya i remember they signed the cork lads and a cork manager i think. That really didnt work out for them one bit, i remember seeing them a sunday mornin in a pretty important relegation battle and a few of the cork lads were still drunk nearly. They just didnt have the interest or respect which was suprisin considerin the effort they would have puttin in to attend training.
It would be good to have them competing for titles, they were always a decent juvenile club. It doesnt add up that they are never challenging for the title.
Staying quiet because their is very little truth in most of it.Quote:

When do Division 4 teams usually start back?
Borris seem to be making some very shrewd signings,if they get all of the players they are been linked too they will be considerably stronger than last season,the league looks like it is going to be far more competitive and a lot more points will be dropped by the big 2
When do the the Division 4 teams usually start back pre-season?
Every team is different but id imagine most are started back already and the rest in the next couple of weeksQuote:

well I wouldnt say that now! it was peake and borris up to recentlyQuote:

Am I being very naive or stupid?

The Cahir Park page on Facebook states they are Joe Delaney champs 2011 so must have been played to-day. Some nice photos also on the page but no score given.Quote:

fixture was not down on tsdl website i dont think. i thought the game would just be swept under the carpet forgotten about and competition just started from scratch next year. town must be fuming suppose we still have a tsdl winner of the competion in cahir park so i suppose that is one positive from the hole mess
Massive PR own goal,you would wonder what type of guys are running these clubs,anyone with half a brain would know you should avoid getting involved in this sort of thing,once they were beaten they should have stayed out of it,i mean what value do those medals have? On another note Cashel Town are being raided by Borris with Derek Hayes,Micky Coleman and Ross Doyle all rumoured to be on their wayQuote:
