Only my opinion. Sums up Shannon soccer
No games next weekend due to Kerry v Clare game I take it ye? Hope they do the business and make it to the final !!
Here here, Kerry football very strong at the moment but have a sneaky feeling for Clare this year
wont disagree with you on thatQuote:

That Ennistymon result was a bit of a shock alright , a lot of the comments i was reading on this forum seemed to suggest they were a coming force in clare soccer, might even be dark horses for the cup ! I think they will have to go a bit to hang onto Bridge celtic . olympic and Turnpike.
Ennistymon did well in the Munster cup so they can't be that bad of group of players! Fair play to bridge b tho!
Bridge B had a man sent off ten mins before half time and also led for most of the game, they were very organised and only conceded the equaliser with the last kick of the game.Quote:

I've seen them twice this season and hope they get promoted to premier but need to add to their squad, they have quality but not quantity. Only sub they had came late, 20 mins into the game.
Heard during the week that Ennistymon have lost 2/3 key players to immigration over the past month. The McConneigle brothers and another attacking player I think it was, so they may find it hard to maintain their challenge.Quote:

Ive been very disappointed with Rhine Rovers this year, capable of putting it up to any side in the division but just seem to be lacking a goalscorer. Kildysert i would imagine will go down unless they make a few new signings as they will lose players for games now the gaa has started up. Any team heavily dominated by GAA players may struggle now with the second half of the season.
Just out of curiousity. Does anyone know the breakdown of players clubs for the oscar traynor?
Is there any real need to have a blanket cancellation next week (3rd div aside) because of the fixture. If it was a home game or final i would understand but an away semi final in Kerry is not going to attract a large clare crowd (unfortunately).
I totally agree there has been enough games off last 3 months.. bar premier all games should go aheadQuote:

Have to agree that all games not involving O.T.players should have gone ahead, season is too stop start , i mean games could have had a 10.30 kick off to give people a chance to get to Tralee. Best of luck to the squad and management team for sunday, come on the Banner !
At least 2 if not 3 of the McConigleys were playingQuote:

Preview on Oscar game.
best of luck lads on sunday!!!!
What a result below in Kerry for the Clare boys yesterday unbelievable stuff congrats to Crusher and all involved . Was not at the match but judging by the 3.0 scoreline they must have played well a special mention must go out to my own club man Hayso for the hatrick cant be many players out there to score 3 in an Oscar Traynor semi ,
great result yesterday, well done to crush and all the boys on a fantastic result ,
cant imagine there are many people who have played and then managed a team in an OT final
great achievment and hopefully kick on and win it now,
Great win as the lads said. Hayeso was on fire. But some good performances from Briggy and Murphy blocked and cleared everything in the back. John Mul pulled off two great saves.
Just in a side note, saw the fixtures for mid week games. Avenue playing 6th league game against Bridge and they played them already. Clueless aint the word.
Rineanna played first and second league game against ennistymon if you want to talk about clueless
Well done to everybody involved. A great result. Any report on the game? any idea when the final is on and whether Clare have home advantage or not?
Neither team has to fulfil that fixture..Quote:

Everybody can see what's going on but the Clubs are every bit as bad to stand by and do nothing.
So will the Bridge v Avenue game not go aheAd next week??Quote:

I'm just asking a question. Get over yourself.Quote:

Won't bother me either way if game goes ahead or not.
If the game is played it will be in breach of league rule book.
Nobody has hinted at picking and choosing their games, no suggestion of that whatsoever.
No one is moaning Second. I was just pointing it out. 4 other teams Avenue could have played for first time. No one picks or chooses any games.
Thats fair enough lads but infairness the weather this year has been brutal causing massive postponments of fixtures . Im sure Mr lydon has no reason to have these 2 playing and with 4 divisions to make fixtures for it probably slipped his mind.
Just checked website:Quote:

Likewise with Bridge they have Connolly, Newmarket and Mountshannon, before starting their second round of fixtures.
That took me 2 mins to research, Surely Fixtures Secretary could have done the same..
It's a tricky fixture for both teams, but I'm sure the winers if there is one will be quite happy after to have it out of the way! Second is right. Nothing worse than playing avenue or the bridge when your not at full strength.should again make for a good game two full strength squads.also sorry for dwelling, it will be a massive advantage to the winners.
Anyone hear the final squad for the west of Ireland game. Hard to believe Darren Murphy didn't even get a call for trial..
Did any clare players get a trial or make the squad?
Who says both teams are at full strength?Quote:

apolagies fifty I was taking seconds quote on they should be as not many games are being played, but you obviously know more, sorry again.Quote:

two players out of the Oscar finalists got trials and one makes it I think...hard to believe, what's the game coming to..
