not getting my point either .. what can be done if management are happy to have a few drinks with player on a saturday night... if any player then dropped for going out on a saturday night he should be man enough to let management know in front of his team mates
how can they they justify dropping him when some players are drinking night before with managers .. would need proof to back it up not just rumours .. :ball:
i agree with you .. but if this is the situation at a club then managers must be ok with it.. i find it very hard to believe that newtown management would be ok with this for a player to go drinking with them before a game .. is it the usuall rumours or has anybody got 100% proof that players & managers are drinking together before matches every saturday night.. :ball:
Newtown Players and Managers meet up every Saturday at 3.00pm in the Lodge. They have 4 quick pints and then head down to the Knights for a few shots of either Butterballs or straight Vodka, Then they head to the New Bar for a 6 Bottles of Bulmers Original Cider, next stop is the Crossroads Tavern for a couple more shots of either Butterballs or straight Vodka. The Disco is a must as most of the Team can't leave it at that,they need to show their face.
When the Disco ends John Kelly is waiting outside in the minibus to bring them out to SixmileBridge to Andys house where they drink until they are finally ready to show up for their game on Sunday morning.
If any player doesn't go to The Bridge they will not be selected to play.FACT
Dont know if this story is true but the horses mouth told me.
Many years ago Red Austin was the Newtown manager and he used to do a tour of the pubs,bare in mind only the Knights,the GAA,Nellys and the Honk,(no self respecting Newtown man ever set foot in the Xroads only to collect the Wesley Webb) at the time.One Saturday he brought Tommy Mcd with him to spot any offending players and they found none.On the way Tommy had 2 pints.Next morning Red picked the team and Tommy was in shock to hear he was dropped for drinking before a match!!!! And there were no Knights hand stamps in those days!!!!
Well said ice man, nobodys business what way Newtown management run their team or what Skinny does.
This is not professional football. while all managers encourage their players to go handy on a Sat nite, in general they have no problem with players havin a few beers. Skinny as any other player should not be the subject of these conversations, good luck to the lad, he turns up every Sun morning on time and ready for action.
Let's leave this behind and move on to relevant matters.
2 Clare teams left in the FAI next weekend.

Limerick League Pld 2 Pts 4
West Waterford East Cork League Pld 2 Pts 3
Munster Senior League Pld 2 Pts 2
Clare League Pld 2 Pts 1
This is the table as I see it going into the last round of games... I imagine Clare will find it hard to qualify as they would have to beat Limerick by a few goals. They are -4 goals at the moment.
I know Evan Glynn played full back yesterday and Shane O'Connor did not get a run. Heard nothing else about the game or team.

All depends on whether teams level on pts decided on goal difference or on head to head results. Does anyone know which it is for this competition?
any views on clare involvement in the F.A.I both youths and junior. who will be expected to go furthest between newtown and the rats? would also like to comment on newmarkets achievement on getting to the last 16 for the second succesive season.any comments on this?
Much deserved on the part of Newmarket youths. Beating two Limerick sides on the way (one a comprehensive 6-1 win over Knockainey, and the other a 3-2 win against Corbally with a weakened side). Probably the best youths squad Newmarket have in recent years, and here's hoping they can go at least one further than last year.
Well done to Avenue also, on reaching the last 32 and giving Newmarket a good game last Saturday.
Just wondering does anyone posting here follow the 3rd Division ??
Rhine Rovers unbeaten on top with 39 goals scored...
Newmarket B slipping behind after a defeat to Corofin B at the weekend.
Lots of excitement :D
id expect newtown and the rats to make it thru this week and it would be great if newmarket could go one better and make the quarter finals of the youths
Ya looks like its going to be an interesting season.Quuin are going well but always drop points at end of season when gaa starts up.Cant rule out ennistymon but dont think newmarket will last pace.I see kilkishen are starting to get a few results could maybe make a push for 2nd or 3rd.Bridge celtic will cause alot of problems espically at home.
great to see someone talkin bout 'the forgotten division'!id agree with your tips for the top in this division but would you consider corofin b as a good outside bet!??a good mix of experience and youth,capable of a good cup run also,ye heard it here first lads!!!!:cool:
