Any reports on midweek games? Good win for Tulla away!
Yes good win for Tula, bridge deserved something from it, they were crap in the first half, all the Tula goals were against the run of play,
Went up to see bridge v lifford B Friday night, teams on the pitch waiting for ref, game postponed as he did not show, this is a disgrace,what will happen now to this ref that didn't show,ie will he be fined or told to play for half money next time?
Will the clare league compensate both teams for there time? Lets face it if a club gives a walk over the clare league get there fines from them and also the ref gets paid for just showing up.. Should he not be fined for not showing up,
Love to know the leagues stance on this..
Frankie coote was down for 2 games at the same time, he did the Coole and manus game instead. Unfair on players alright but league will not do anything about it
I'm sure frank new at an early stage in the week he was down for 2games, unbelievable communication between both organisations.Quote:

following games all arranged for Friday night when rep of ireand in world cup qualify action in Dublin would soccer players not want to watch their national team playing. ??? but instead the good old clare league put out fixtures and guess what leave sunday soccer free because I assume clare are playing an all Ireland hurling final so once again the clare soccer league is organised to suit gaa games

I know you mean well but this is not the time to go on about the gaa, there will be players from every soccer club in the county in croke park on sunday supporting the hurlers, i'm sure the league will postpone the fixtures if there are players going to the aviva on friday night. Come on The Banner.
What about the players who are up in the aviva watching the world cup qualifier, no defending the leagues decision this time round, would the gaa call off hurling match cause ireland are playing?? dont think so.Quote:

Why wouldn't it be played that weekend?? I think the Clare league were right to have no games yesterday (as I said before the clubs voted unanimously for it) but with the hurling replay now on a Saturday there is no reason for interruption to Sunday fixtures. If Oscar Traynor is scheduled to be played by that weekend then simply play it under lights mid week and a full round of fixtures the Sunday. If you think that going on the beer, celebrating/drowning your sorrows, is higher on your list of priorities than your Sunday fixture thats entirely up to the individual. Only thing that may be effected is youths/u19 fixtures as its possible that might be the weekend of the FAI youths first round.
I thought it was just the clare league who make a balls of the fixtures. No excuse for having a massive backlog at the end of the season but you can be guaranteed it will be the case this season. Just saw the limerick league have 8 league games played alreadyQuote:

Personally i think games should be off on the sunday after the all ireland, alot of lads will be up in dublin for it and wont be get back till all hours of the morning, let them enjoy it....sure whats the rush anyway :)
Agree, shouldn't be any games again on the 29thQuote:

Anyone any idea of story with oscar traynor squad . I heard they only had 6 training last Tuesday and tonight's training is off.. I feel sorry for crusher its bad enough clubs probably wont have any League games played but now lads are not turning up.
has squad been made public yet.. ? if clubs are playing midweek games as well it may have an effect on players making training. But would hope anybody who is considered for selection would give it the respect it deservesQuote:

Ideally it would be great to have league games played before first round with limerick but the clubs insist with this league cup farce at beginning of every season to ease back in to it. I personally don't get it.
Some new additions are Joe Collins, Daniel Aherne, Shane Byrnes and Stephen Kelly.Quote:

Who said training was cancelled tonight lads? There wasnt training scheduled for tonight at all, we are down to train monday night and are due to play a friendly wednsday, we will see how we are fixed then. 6 lads were training with eire og and 6 other lads were in college and a couple with injuries. its not an easy time of the year to get everyone there. Crusher and the lads are working hard to get things in place and hopefully things will kick on from next week.
I'm not havin a go at the players, think there's a great squad there, but if lads are puttin GAA club training first you'd want to question their commitment.. Fair assessment?
I wouldnt go as far as questionning the lads commitment to be fair, ideally we would like em to be training but we know the story here in Clare, these lads have quarter final on sunday and all served the county very well in the past.
Just don't pick players that are not 100% committed. Its not possible to work on things in training when a group of lads are at hurling/football training. As for games being played last friday when Ireland were playing sweden? What a joke. They really have no shame. The FAI should have a rule to stop this happening. Crazy to think that everyone on the league committee thought this to be ok
The Oscar Traynors have probably the toughest group in the Country. Along with an opening fixture no team would fancy. Its unfortunate our League has'nt started. I have not been a fan of the League Cup in the past. However, having played a few games it is very obvious that more than half the teams in the premier have struggled to put a strong squad together thus far. I assume this has a lot to do with the prolonged GAA season. This means the League Cup has played an important roll, this season, in giving teams the necessary time to assemble a strong squad for the opening game of the league. Therefor it goes without saying that the Clare squad doesnt have the 24 strong squad training twice a week that it had last Spring. However, im sure those who are in training will be doing everthing they can to ready themselves for Wednesday week. The 6/7 new young fellas brought into the squad will bring them a new wave of enthusiasm and the lads in charge will do their utmost to get the results that are needed. I hear a lot of GAA players saying, the season has dragged on too long, and they cant wait for it to come to an end, especially those with a slim chance of progressing to the next round. Unfortunately they are pot committed having trained for the last ten months. The very best of luck to Crusher and the Clare team against Limerick. Fair play to the Clare league for getting the lights in the county grounds. And best of look to Eire Og over the weekend.
Can someone tell me in the league cup if 2 teams are level after the 4 games does it go down to goal difference or a play off?
It goes on head to head I'm nearly sure
It goes to goal difference
Curious to know why ennistymon v burren was off , hardly because of the weather as they both have very dry pitches, hope it wasn't the dreaded clash with gaelic as every club has to deal with that.
Is it true 7 or 8 lads will miss oscar traynor game due to gaa commitments
It seems that way second. 5 lads will be missing anyway
There is hardly a gaa match the same night as the oscar traynor game?
All the lads will be there...who ever comes up with these rumours are hilarious
Anyone know if there will be a round of league fixtures the Sunday after the hurling?
No it's a free weekendQuote:
