the TSDL gave a walkover because ST MICHAELS players were playing FAI the following week and that's a fact,the TSDL should have fulfilled the fixture without them and thats a fact,are they the only players playing in TSDL,The Limerick boys fulfilled their fixture and Pike were playing the following week also in the FAI.Why didn't they fulfill the fixture seen as your in the know????.:confused::confused:Quote:

Minesapint made the statement that "it didn't seem much of an honour for the tipperary lads last year when they refused to play".Quote:

They are the facts and I invite Minesapint to comment on same.
It was taken out of their hands because players from the tipp league refused to play ie the St michaels, peake villa and clonmel celtic, and the manager would not play with out hes full side, if it was a big honour all players would play, why are counties pulling out?.
we the desmond league knew nothing about not being entered into this years oscar traynor until we saw the draw on this site,after winning the competition 4 years ago its a step backwards in my opinion,apparently there was an ad put in the local paper, no one applied so they didnt bother entering one.
Surely if the offered expenses then they would have had plenty volunteers ..
Sligo/Leitrim 3 - 6 Innishowen
What did you make of Sligo selections and tactics - pretty poor game in truth?Quote:

The selection seemed to be same old same old players who have been around the block. I heard there was only 8 at training the week before and 2 of those were keepers.....
What was the red card for????
Missed the red card and knowing who was sent off I didn't even bother to ask!Quote:

Yeah the Inishowen no 9 was lively - but it doesn't help when you have two of your back four (along with obvious criticism re fitness etc) not being defenders!
John Gaffney missed a header and Clive Somers took the forward down as last man - no arguments - no cartron player on panel , 1 boyle player , 8 city united players started , 1 glenview , 1 st johns and the boyle lad .
i have never seen the manager at a super league match (and i go to a lot of matches) .
Time for change.
Well done to inishowen but i dont think they would have beaten a properly managed sligo leitrim team.
There are 'country' players, eg Aughanagh, and those in lower division eg Gurteen, that could/should get onto this side - the top-heavy representation from City was kack. 4-5-1 to protect dreadful defence, then just meant Nibber was not a real threat. Tactics, selection and management simply don't appear to be the strong point of Oscar Traynor management team - any posters like to comment as to same situation pertains in their area?Quote:

I'd say the OT squad has suffered because of a legacy of being 'town' dominated. Anyhow this years squad contained 5 City Utd, 5 Boyle, 4 Cartron, 3 Merville, 3 Aughanagh, 1 Carrick, 1 Ballisodare, 1 Yeats & 1 Dromore.....so it had a decent spread of representation, there was also a call out to anybody who think they had something to offer to turn up for training.
1. The manager - should be at the Premier league games to decide for himself.Quote:

3. I think a panel, after a few trial games, should select the OT team. Get a few players from Sligo Rovers along with Sligo/Leitrim to select side.
4. I spoke to a lad who was at OT training last year and he picked Sligo/L team before the game and informed me about the way it is run -- simply, a complete farce, training and selection.
There are players eager to play but not under the current administration.
Cant really argue with any of that. I couldnt imagine someone answering the call out unless they were in the know in the league. I know I certainly wouldnt have(in fairness that would be 15 years ago). There definitely should be a series of trail games. Its a big improvement on 10 yrs ago when the OT manager didnt drive, but the should be a concerted effort from the top down to sort something out with the OT in the area, either bin it or put more effort into it
Best of luck to Clare tonight it's a tough ask.. Prediction 3-0 limerick
Best of luck to the cork aul team tonight against the defense forces
Can u post result later and the teams if possible. cheersQuote:

ya good first half from limerick ,not great in the second half though they did not have to be as clare not up to much.clare keeper quite good made 2 great saves in first half and limerick did miss some very easy chances while playing some good stuff. cant remember clare having a shot bar one in the second half which neville saved,thought limerick very scrappy in the second half.Quote:

A handy enough win for the AUL with the highlight being our Sean Beresford scoring a hat trick on his debut as the AUL totally outclassed a poor Amaateur League team up in Fraank Cooke Park.
Team to beat again,defo,as the TSDL mightn't bother their a***s again this year,Quote:

Rather than bore us with your copious rants about the issue why don't just drop a line to the TSDL and tell them how upset you are about it. I notice the TSDL thread has quietened a lot these days and I think a lot of it could be down to your interventions.Quote:

Result
Kerry 2-1 Munster Senior League
Read my post,I said they were going for 3 in a row,never said they were average pal,and they are always favourites,and the day they beat limerick they were not great and that is a fact,limerick should have won that day,Quote:
